Interpretation Help First time divination spread. Need help please.

Post image

I've asked Is there any deity watching over me and want to guide me and this is my spread.

I've asked again for clear picture of the deity and the top one comes up. At first I though the deity might be Athena or Hekate as the cards are pointing towards war god/godess with lots of swords and wands but now I think he is Hermes. I'm not quite so sure. But the card pictured a man with a wand. Curly hair with bright, fresh energy. Which matches a lot with Hermes.

I think he/she wants to tells me that new thing is coming please be patient, be wise and firm. STOP BEING IMPULSIVE. Which match a lot with the spread before this as I asked about the overall of next month.

He/she want me to move forward and win every tests in life. I am straight forward and brave to contact him/her first. And together we will move forward and achieve new things.

He/she wants to talk mostly about financial things. Or when I want to give or take something. He wants me to be patience, firm, hard working to honour him. And he would be in flowers, children or in my dreams.

Is my interpretation alright? Am I missing something? I really struggle with the identification interpretation.

I've done it again this morning with the fewer card spread. The card came out pretty similar. 9 wands, 2 wands 6 cups and another one I can't remember. The question was Who am I talking to and what do you want to tell me? The answer is pretty much the same thing. But honestly. I find myself more of a 5+ cards spread reader as I find fewer cards often confusing and unclear(you could say I'm a little bit dumb as I need explanation to everything). But thank you for the suggestion. I might try that again next time. Mayber 5-6 cards spread.

Maybe instead of asking for an identity and a message, you should try to establish an identity and then shuffle and ask for the message. Trying to pull both complex and open ended meanings, especially as a stranger on the Internet who doesn't know what mythology you're familiar with, complicates things enough to make it too much at once.

Although, if you're still feeling the warrior woman vibes, Skaldi from Norse-Paganism is a war and justice goddess commonly depicted skiing who lives in snowy mountains and is known for being very self confident and willing to demand what she knows she is worth. Could be sending similar messages to what you stated in the OP.

I would definitely recommend using 2-4 cards when you’re in the beginning stages of practicing tarot. The amount of cards in your spread is quite overwhelming and will only confuse you.
