DarkLake Tarot Does Kwanzaa - [pt2/7]

Habari Gani?

[read pt 1 here!]
It's the second day of Kwanzaa, so our new word for today is Kujichagulia ['Self-Determination'].  It encourages us to name and define ourselves, and to create and speak for ourselves.  I feel like this particular principle is the easiest one for me to grasp, so I wasn't too surprised to see that coming up with the corresponding spread was relatively quick as well.

Here's the spread to try out!  one thing to note, I designed this spread to be more about giving affirmations to the querent, and since negative phrases don't do all that well for Self-Determination, I suggest not utilizing reversals for this spread!

Like yesterday's spread, I used the Initiatory Golden Dawn deck for my answers:

---

1. Name Yourself - The Empress
   "I am Lindsay- a Daughter of Venus and the wise, benevolent yet unquestioned ruler of this realm."
   
2. Define Yourself - The Fool
   "I fully embrace the newest adventure that's about to begin, trusting that the Cosmos will not lead me to harm."
   
3. Create For Yourself: The High Priestess
   "I am the gatekeeper to my own intuitive power. I bring to light that which lurks in the darkness by attuning myself to my higher subconscious."
   
4. Speak For Yourself - Temperance
   "My words are mutable and powerful- I speak into existence exactly what is needed for any given situation, and receive exactly what I ask for."
   
5. Affirm Yourself [For The Year Ahead] - 5 of Chalices - Lord of Loss of Pleasure
   "I no longer allow my past shortcomings, failures of disappointments to define me.  I no longer allow myself to believe that I am unworthy of pleasure or life's spoils."
