🫧 Card’s Role – The Sleepwalker

This card appears when you no longer feel connected to who you are.
Not because something broke — but because something… faded.

You may feel:

  • Numb.
  • Disconnected.
  • Like you’re going through motions with no voice inside.
  • Like your soul is watching you… from afar.

The forgetting is gentle, seductive.
It doesn’t shatter. It erodes.

You forget your joy.
Your power.
Your reason for being.

And one day you wake up — and don’t recognize your own reflection.

🗝️ Message of the Card:

You are not broken.
You are not behind.
You are not late to your life.

You are simply asleep beneath the noise.
And your soul — patiently — remembers everything.

This card is the whisper:

“Come home now. You’re still here.”

🌫️ Deeper Insight – The Long Sleep

Forgetting isn’t weakness.
It’s protection.
Sometimes the soul shuts the lights off to survive.

You forget who you are —
when no one around you reflects it.
when survival replaces meaning.
when staying awake would’ve been too painful.

But now… you’re ready.

This card is the key — but you must pick it up.

🔑 Reawakening Ritual:

  1. Light a candle.
  2. Close your eyes and whisper:
    “I call myself back.”
  3. Think of a time — any time — you felt truly alive. Write down three words from that moment.
  4. Tape them to your mirror.
  5. Say aloud every day:
    “This is me. And I remember now.”

💬 Card’s Mantra:

You are not lost.
Your soul remembers the way.
