Metaphysical Movie Review: Ingress

Gorgeous souls! It’s a metaphysical movie review! 🍿✨🍿✨🍿

You know I LOVE pop culture here at New Age Hipster. I’m always making tarot spreads and spiritual memes based on movies and TV shows. I LOVE stories in all their forms, and I especially love stories with a metaphysical, magickal, witchy bent to them! 🥰

And so when I came across the new indie movie (you know I love anything indie!!) INGRESS written by and starring Rachel Noll James and it was described as this:

A woman who can move between parallel realities loses her husband tragically and must overcome past trauma to travel the multiverse once again and find her way into a reality where he is still alive.

I was immediately like WHERE IS THE POPCORN?! 😍🍿

Here is the trailer to give you a sense of the whole magickal mystical vibe of this movie…

I don’t want to give anything away, because the thing I loved most about this was I just had no idea where it was going or how the whole time slippage thing would work, but here’s a general gist of the movie...

When she was younger, Riley could move through timelines. When her husband Toby dies, it starts happening again. She beings to experience brief moments of time in which she can tune into another timeline where he’s still alive.

She seeks help figuring it all out and meets Daniel, a metaphysical author who writes about weird and wonderful timeline jumping and multiverse theories.

I mean, hello? Timeline jumping, metaphysical authors, seeing through the veils of illusion into other dimensions!? YES PLEASE!!

These kinds of movies are just fantastic to watch for the stories, but this movie really felt like it activated something in me. It was not just a movie, it was an awakening and powerful divine transmission. Well, most stories are I guess, but I really felt this one!

I know so many people in the community who have incredible timeline jumping experiences and during readings I can often see when and where someone has shifted or changed their own timeline. One time I was also shown a client with an ability to heal timelines, and I saw her literally threading light through gaps in space and time which was fascinating! 😮

I only have one cool story of my own but I think you’ll enjoy how New Age Hipster it is…

I was in a Mall in Melbourne a little while ago, just grabbing my vegan burger from Lord of the Fries (yes that’s what it’s called and it’s fully vegan and delicious! 😅) and looking for a seat in the food court when suddenly I got a glimpse into another dimension!

For just a split second, the mall turned into a temple of light and was filled with beautiful light beings walking around. It was just so random, like why did I see that when I was just trying to find a seat in the food court?! 😅 But I am sure in that moment I was tapping into something else that was happening in the same place at time, just on a different level.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my story, but please do do do go check out this incredible movie INGRESS! It is so fascinating, so heart opening and activating on a spiritual level. It may even help activate you so that you can jump into your highest timeline! 😍

INGRESS is available to watch now in the US via: Amazon, Cox, Comcast, Charter, Fandango at Home (Vudu) and Vimeo on Demand.

Sign up here to know when it will be available to watch in other countries!

With so much love and timeline jumping,

Game of Thrones Tarot Spread

Hey Gorgeous souls!

Wow, can you believe it’s taken me THIS LONG to make a Game of Thrones tarot spread?! 😲

Game Of Thones, what a freaking EPIC of a story, and it’s absolutely FILLED with opportunities to practice your tarot readings! 😍

One of my favourite ways to practice my readings is to hit up a TV show I love and pull cards for the characters. Ask - what does Jon Snow most need to know in this situation? Or how could Samwell Tarly take back his power?

And if you haven’t watched all the way through, you can even practice predictive readings on how things are going to go! Do keep in mind though that in real life, when the script isn’t already written we have the power to change those outcome cards!

Another fun thing to do while watching Game of Thrones is to think about which cards the characters most represent. There are so many fantastic characters and they can all fit into the tarot in so many ways!

Cersei is most definitely the Queen of Swords reversed, Tyrion has to be the Knight of Cups and Arya is so clearly the Page of Swords!

Pop culture tarot is THE BEST way to practice your court cards! 😅

And of course, reading with spreads is great practice too!

Inspired by my friends at WikiOfThrones (the BEST GOT resource on the net!!) this spread is super simple and will give you some insight into what games you are playing in your own life!

here’s your card reading spread!

Now go grab a cuppa (or a large glass of wine!!) and grab your deck for your reading. You can use tarot cards with this Game of Thrones spread but it will also work with oracle cards too!

And if you don’t have a deck to hand, you can always use tarot card spreads as journal prompts for personal reflection!

1. what are you playing for?

Hopefully you are not playing any games for a big old creepy chair made of swords, but we all play games in our lives whether they are with others or within ourselves! This card will show you what game you’re playing and what you are playing for, what you most want to achieve and what you are working towards.

2. who are you playing against?

Maybe you have some enemies against you. For most of us, we are often playing against our own limiting beliefs, stories we tell ourselves, self-sabotage and all that good stuff. 😅 But that’s why I LOVE tarot! We can see what’s going on and make changes! This is card is kind of like that second card in the Celtic Cross that shows you what’s crossing, affecting or challenging you.

3. what will you win?

If you win this game, crush your goals and vanquish your enemies, what will you win? What will you gain? What will you get out of it? What will be the point of it all? You could even look at this as like the higher purpose of what you’re doing, or your BIG WHY.

4. what will you lose?

Now this question can make us immediately think - yikes! I’m going to lose something! But gorgeous souls, what if it’s simply just time to lose what holds us back and stops us from stepping into our power as royalty in our own lives? 😀 Here you’ll see what you need to lose so that you can WIN!

Fan of Game of thrones? The best resource on the net is WikiOfThrones so make sure you check it out for more inspo for your tarot practice! 🥰

Practical Magic Tarot Spread

Hey Gorgeous souls!

Ok, here’s a classic.

Can you believe that out of all the pop culture tarot spreads I’ve made over the years I have never done a spread on one of the most iconic witchy movies EVER MADE Practical Magic?!

This is one of those movies that lives in the hearts of all witches!

I watched this not too long ago and I had actually forgotten how absolutely heart wrenching it is! So if you’ve never seen it, or if you’re watching it again for the first time in a long time, please take your tissues, extra large cups of tea, get real cosy and make sure you have a cat near by for extra pats! A black cat is ideal, but any works. 😅

Practical Magic reminds us of our power. It helps us to remember that we have so much power as witches and magic makers, but it also reminds us that life is messy and complicated and that no matter how powerful we are, we don’t always get what we want.

But, the power of a witch is not always in getting what she wants, it’s in how she lives her life, how she navigates challenges and how she shows up again and again, believing in magic, believing in herself and of course, believing in love.

Now go put that kettle on because we’re about to sling some cards!

here’s your card reading spread!

As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel cards, playing cards, whatever you’ve got it’s all good! You can even use these card reading prompts as journal prompts or questions to think on!

1. How to reclaim your power as a witch

Perhaps you’ve already claimed your power, good for you! But even so, this card will show you how to keep on reclaiming it day after day! New witch?! YAY! WELCOME TO THE COVEN! This card will help you claim your power!

2. How to awaken your magic

Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how powerful we are. This card will show you how to remember!

3. Your magic gifts and abilities

Here you’ll see what gifts or abilities relating to your magic are working within you or waiting to!

4. what spell to cast now

Spells can be done at the altar using candles and herbs, or they can simply be words spoken out loud, written down or even just wishes blown into a cup of tea. Here you’ll find some inspiration for a spell you can cast right now.

Gilmore girls Tarot Spread

Hey Gorgeous souls!

It has been an aggggeeeee since I made a tarot spread for the blog! 😮

I have so many ideas for these but other things always seem more important so they get left at the bottom of the to do list!

But a couple of weeks ago I got sick and started re-watching Gilmore girls and I am now so obsessed and working my way through the whole series again!

Loved it the first time, love it now. Although I honestly feel extra sad for Dean this time around, even though I’m team Jess. I don’t know, maybe I’m a little team Dean as well.

Ultimately though I AM TEAM LUKE! 😍😍😍

Who’s team are you on?! Let me know in the comments! No one EVER comments on blog posts anymore (at least not mine!) so please do comment and let me know, promise I will read it and reply!

I couldn’t stop thinking about Gilmore girls once I started re-watching and I felt super inspired to make and share this spread!

Gilmore girls really is the ultimate cosy show. It’s so easy to watch, even though there’s a LOTALOT of relationship drama. I could honestly just curl up and watch it all day long!

I’m still only at the start of season 2 which feels like perfect timing as we are heading into autumn here in Australia! Cups of tea (maybe a decaf coffee!), cookies and Gilmore girls are going to get me through the cooler months!!

And now enough rambling, here’s your card reading spread!

As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel cards, playing cards, whatever you’ve got it’s all good! You can even use these card reading prompts as journal prompts or questions to think on!

1. Who’s always got your back

Who’s the Lorelei to your Rory? This card may show you a person, a guide or angel or something else in your life that can support you.

2. How to navigate difficult relationships

Gilmore girls is full of relationship challenges. If you have your own Emily Gilmore or are struggling with a Dean/Jess situation, falling for the girl who always comes in for coffee but never seems to be available, this card will help you navigate things with a bit more ease.

3. how to make your big dreams come true

Whether you want to open your own inn, get into Harvard or Yale or have some other big (or even a little smaller!) dream, here you’ll get a message about how to make it happen!

4. How to support your community

Hopefully this does not involve making a basket of picnic foods so that some guys can bid on it and you in a weird auction in the town square. But giving back to the community is a great way to feel like you’re part of something, to help others and of course, when we support our communities, they always support us too!

New Moon in Scorpio Tarot Spread

New moon in Scorpio blessings gorgeous souls!

Scorpio is such a doozy of a sign. I used to always shudder at the thought of anything happening in Scorpio to be honest, but the more shadow work and magick I’ve done, the more I’ve dived deep into my own psyche, the more I understand just how powerful, important and helpful Scorpio is.

Scorpio is the watery sign of the occult, of the mystery, of sexuality, passion, secrets and intuition.

Scorpio is known to have a sting and when the moon is in this sign you may find yourself getting a little stung by uncomfortable truths.

But that isn’t always a bad thing. Sometimes the truth does hurt, sometimes getting called out by your guides, seeing how your actions aren’t useful or seeing the ways in which you may be causing suffering to yourself or others is the most powerful and useful thing that can happen to you!

When the new moon is in Scorpio we have a really powerful portal for some major magic making. Spellwork, magick, rituals, witchcraft and intention setting is perfect for this moon.

Scorpio wants you to express your deepest desires. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you really want this moon.

When you put your desires out there, when you tell the universe what you want, you’re much more likely to get it!

For more Scorpio Goodness check out the Scorpio Season Tarot Spread, Full Moon in Scorpio Tarot Spread or the New Moon in Scorpio Solar Eclipse Spread!

And now for a card reading spread!

As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may also like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.

1. key to your magick

2. what to manifest

3. rituals to perform

4. how to protect your magick

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus Tarot Spread

Full moon lunar eclipse blessings gorgeous souls!

Looking for the Eclipse Season spread? Click here!

So here we are, at the end of this eclipse season and wow, what a wild ride it has been. Uh, okay, continues to be!

Eclipses are intense and so are full moons. Add to that the energy of Taurus which is real stubborn stickler and oh yeah, we are also now in Scorpio season!

Hey look, if you need to go Hermit somewhere and hide this one out, you just do you!

Self-care is actually a very Taurean practice. Looking after your physical body is absolutely essential for all of us right now.

A fried nervous system leads to anxiety, lack of sleep, inability to focus and a whole bunch of other things that none of us want.

So if you do one thing this full moon lunar eclipse I’d highly recommend just taking a break from being online (I’m about to do another 40 days off socials, but more about that later!) and just do a kind of self-energetic-re-group.

Eclipses bring major opportunities for shadow work, and this eclipse and full moon may shine an especially large flood light over your material world, especially your money and work stuff.

And the real kicker with this moon is that it won’t just show you what’s not working for you, it will also show you where you need to step up and take responsibility for the outcomes you want.

A lot of things in this life and in this world are out of our control, but a lot is in our control.

We can choose to face our bank balances, look at where our money is going, look at where we are creating problems in any area of our lives and start make some changes.

When I finally took charge of my own money shizzle everything changed for me! You can find out more about how I did that in my course:

#MoneyLove: 28 days of magical + practical activities to support your shift into prosperity consciousness

To really feel safe, secure and grounding in the world, especially with your material needs being met, you have to open your eyes, look it in the face and take responsibility for what you see.

And while it’s scary AF to do that for most of us (it was for me!!) the results can be incredible!

We talk so much about reclaiming our power in spiritual circles. We meditate and call it back and make affirmations, but sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is open your eyes to where you may be sabotaging yourself and start making some changes!

And now for a card reading spread!

As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may also like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.

1. Money & material blocks/issues

2. how to heal/release these

3. how to feel safe, secure & grounded

4. where your power lies

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra Tarot Spread

Welcome to Eclipse Season Gorgeous Souls!

Looking for the Eclipse Season spread?! It’s a goody! Click here!

Eclipses add a bit of extra juice to our new and full moons.

Okay, who am I kidding?! Eclipses don’t just add a bit of juice, they add a whole bottle of vodka!

During eclipse season my Instagram feed is often filled with fear mongering and I’m not into it. This is a good time to unfollow accounts that share eclipse info that’s on the dramatic side. Eclipses are GREAT for clearing anything out of your life that is not in alignment, and that can start with astrology accounts that create drama on your feed! 😅

Sure, eclipses can be a bit full on, but they are AMAZING for spiritual growth, personal growth and getting you on your best and highest path!

Eclipse season is a little stormy, but storms are COOL and exciting, AS LONG as you are prepared for them!

This is time to bunker down with your journal, tarot or oracle cards, pets, loved ones, fave TV shows, creative projects, good books, cups of tea and get yourself in a good place.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra may show us pretty clearly where we are out of balance. Libra is all about alignment, and this eclipse wants to shine light on where we’re NOT aligned to our best and highest path. That can be uncomfortable to see, but like any shadow work, the uncomfortable path is so often the path we need to take before breaking free from what’s keeping us stuck, preventing us living our highest truth.

During the storm of this eclipse (and eclipse season!) we need something to hold onto. We need to find our centre and stay grounded.

Storms can bring destruction, true. But like the Tower card in the tarot, eclipses are all about enlightenment. They can bring down what’s not working, what’s not in alignment, what’s done and finished. They can remove all the BS so we can see our own lives, paths and purpose with more clarity.

And all that rain? Well, how can we grow without it?!

While new moons are always great times to do manifestation work, eclipse energy is a little chaotic and uncertain. It’s generally considered a better idea to manifest during calm waters. Instead of focusing on manifesting this new moon, focus on your own spiritual practices, on grounding, aligning and staying balanced within yourself so you can hold steady, and be a rock for those around you who may really need it right now.

And now for a card reading spread!

As always, you can use this spread any cards you have - tarot, oracle, angel, Uno, it’s all good. You may also like to take some time to journal on what comes up for extra insight.

1. What is out of balance

2. how to find center in the storm

3. what will be washed away

4. what will grow
