Addressing an Ongoing Issue Before My Return

I have noticed strong similarities between my content and this person's ever since I created my blog, and just a few days later, this person @/hermetiqa changed the aesthetic of theirs. I know i am a small blog with less than 400 followers and i disappear a lot. I have had sad experiences with plagiarism before, people have stolen my work (tarot and non tarot), and even if this isn’t exactly that, it’s really frustrating when someone with a bigger blog starts taking a lot of inspiration from you, never acknowledges it, you block them, and even after being blocked, they come back and keep doing it.

There’s no problem with being inspired, the issue is the context and how often it happens. Especially because this person changed their aesthetic after I opened my blog, along with their masterlist. I only found out now that they kept going because some friends outside my tarot blog told me. My last post was in November and guess what? So was theirs. I don’t know them, and they don’t know me. But the vibe here for me stinks bad. There’s also one thought that crossed my mind, even if it sounds silly: their blog has been around longer than mine, so what if I come back and they do it again? I won't feel comfortable because they made it weird. They could have said: oh and this masterlist was inspired by clairdelune. Like, they have paid readings, and are gaining money out of people. If you are having a business at least be transparent and support newcomers with their small business too when there's something you like or something you take inspo from.

PSA: I don't want anyone to give me advice on how to proceed, I just want to vent about this and not feel like I'm crazy. Even if it doesn't seem like it, this takes A LOT of time and days. Making tarot readings for a lot of public is draining because of the energies, and then decorating and coming up with something to make it look attractive is also draining. It's not a crime to get inspired, but the way this person has handled it has made me angry and feel a very bad energy around it.

For context this was their blog before:

It was simple, cute, straight to the point with three pictures. When you went down to read your pile, no section of "signs" with mbti or astrological placements where there. I love mbti, i checked their readings superficially and never noticed them referencing them. Here, you can see it for yourself:

then here's where it all started for me. This is what their masterlist looked like before:

Now this is what it looked like after taking inspiration from me and not even changing the roman numbers. Just changing small details but the essence is there. That's the difference with inspo and copy. You can take inspo from someone but the essence is going to be yours. If they did not change a few little tiny things, this would be confused with mine.

After this I blocked them. My thought process was: If they are a big blog and can do this with no one raising their eyebrows, It's safe to say they could even take inspo from my pictures and even readings. I don't know them, I don't know if this could be a one time thing or something that can continue, or worse: something that can enter plagiarism. I was hoping this would be enough for them to never see my blog again. But no. It kept going. At least they haven't copied what i write as I am aware.

Now, this can get tricky because unlike plagiarism, this is more inspiration based. Which is not a crime, but again, this being done heavily, with no acknowledgement whatsoever because i am a lesser known blog and after getting blocked? Not so nice and too much to be coincidence. Check the dates.

Same months, and this one took two weeks because before that, they posted another reading in between. I mean, putting floating png objects is not a trademark. But after I blocked them for what they did with my masterlist it pissed me off. Right now, them gaining more interactions with their post after this and with no acknowledgement is what did not sit well with me. It is hard to be a new blog in the tarot community and opening a ton of ask games for people to then unfollow you when they get their energy and reading from you and never interact with your blog again. Specially when this was a chance for you to get some money for college. But then again, seeing the strong similarities gets tricky, but you can see the inspiration.

Mine:

Theirs:

They never posted that section before. You can see it in their readings before, right? So when I started posting it too, guess what? they did it too. You know, it doesn’t feel fair that even after blocking them so they would leave me alone and find someone else to get inspired by, they still have this recurrent thing with me and might keep doing it with anything new I come up with. Because i stopped posting readings, the last reading I posted was the same theme (romantic partner) and with strong similarities as mine. I have not posted ever since. The one before that for me was future spouse related and theirs too. You know what's crazy? Mine got a lot of trouble and issues with the aesthetic I had to pull it down. This person's energy is so down heavy it made me put down my reading.

This can be called speculation, but we are in a spiritual community and I believe this could not be a coincidence and their energy towards me is not a good one. You can check the date. All in november. This is also a warning for other tarot readers, if you are sensitive like me with people's vibes, beware when opening a tarot blog.

They don't just do it with one thing and move on, they keep doing it with several things even after not being well received by my end, and it becomes annoying and it literally made me put my own post down.

I just want to leave this here before closing this blog and moving on, because honestly this hasn't been my year and I know it’s just starting, but little things like this don't give me a good vibe to keep running such an open blog to any audience. The energy is so draining and I want to do impulsive things like deleting my posts. Because I start thinking back to times where people straight up stole my work or envied it and posted it as theirs and I don't want that happening again.

Again, please, be mindful with your comments. If you have something rude to say, keep it.

★ book a tarot reading !

Hi! I will be accepting clients for paid readings. I am two years away from finishing college, and lately, I have had many hardships and problems with my scholarship. My university lacks in organization and sstructure, which has made me miss out on opportunities. And as a neurodivergent person of color in a third world country, it has affected me deeply. I've had to look for something to do that I like and that gives me financial relief so that's mainly the purpose of this blog!

i. about my reading style

Here are some FEEDBACKS from my tarot games. I know that there are people who don't know if I fit as a tarot reader, and they want to know how I do readings. So I'm going to give you a bit of background:

My alias is C, and this is my first tarot blog. Since my first language is not English, I usually translate my readings. But if you understand Spanish, you can let me know! It would make it much easier. Now according to my cards, because yes, I asked them lmao—the reading style that they have is represented by the queen of swords, so she's straight to the point in giving answers. She is perceptive in grabbing energy and she is prone to analysis. She might even be a bit scattered but that's more because of the way I am (ADHD) than the cards. But if you feel that something is not clear to you; feel free to notify me!

ii. before you pay

My terms of service can be found here. Once you have read them, you can choose from the following list of services and be redirected to a form you must fill.

SLOTS ARE: open ( dec. 2024 ). PAYMENT METHOD: paypal.

Hi! First of all, thanks for the reading! It was quite accurate based on how things feel and also based on other readings I got, both PACs and personal. I felt like there was a shift of energy with AL and they're being more flirty than before. I'm just not sure if I was just imagining it or not haha again, thanks for this wonderful opportunity! Love to see more of your content! More power and love to you! -HY

Whoa, thank you! 🥰 And yeah you were not just imagining it~ glad to see it resonated! Hope you have a great day!

i forgot what i was going to say but i bet it was good

hi 🤗

My reading was so cute, loved their reaction! It resonated with other readings that said they will be more in love with me after this, and this makes me so happy. Thank you a lot 💚🍋🍫🧁

Hi there! I’m so glad to hear that you loved the reading and that it resonated with you! It’s wonderful to know that it connected with what you’ve been feeling. Thank you for your kind words! ❣️

hii, hope you're doing well!! I'm A and my age's 20 💕

Since i saw that you do romantic readings, i'd like to ask about how people will view me and my future spouse as a couple. Please and thank you!! 🧚‍♀️✨

How will others see A and their future spouse as a couple?

page of pentacles rx, 8 of wands 

People might view you and your future spouse as a bit of an unconventional pair, with a dynamic that’s not always easy to read. People might initially see you both as a bit unprepared for commitment - maybe you're that couple who's still figuring out basic adulting stuff, or you married too soon “after meeting for less than a year” kinda thing. Things will move quickly between you two, and others will notice how fast your relationship gets serious. One of you might come across to others as somewhat controlling in day-to-day life - perhaps being picky about your household decisions. But this gets balanced out because the other partner brings a really practical, steady approach to life - they're probably the one who makes sure bills get paid on time and keeps your shared life running smoothly. After the initial adjustment period, people will likely view you as one of those couples who, despite their differences, actually work well together because you each bring something the other needs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Hey  theeere,  name’s  C.  I’m  venus  dominant,  entp  (8w7),  so  don’t  be  surprised  to  see  more  inclination  towards  romance  tarot  readings.  English  is  no  my  first  language!  So  bare  w/  me.  I  love  fashion,  tarot  and  movies.  I  also  enjoy  learning  about  mbti  (  tho  i’m  no  expert  ). My reading style is straightforward and direct without overly spiritual language. I reserve the right to decline any reading that conflicts with my personal ethics, values or energy. If you bark I bark back. 

WHAT  I  DO:

General,  love & personal  growth.  I encourage open-minded and respectful personal questions that don't overstep ethical or personal boundaries. Basic  astrology  birth  chart  questions.

WHAT  I  DON’T  DO:

Medical  or  legal  personal themed readings or advice.  Allow  minors or  obsessive  people (I don't answer questions that feel invasive, repetitive or based on unhealthy attachments & since i always do an energy check i tend to find this out). No third-party readings: I won't dive into others thoughts or feelings without their consent. No contact questions (to be more specific, I won't answer questions about reconciling with people who may have explicitly cut ties, blocked or separated from you). Free readings unless it’s a tarot game. No extreme predictive timelines with specific timing questions. Timing in tarot can be too fluid. Yes or no questions now since tarot gives more nuanced answers to provide clarity beyond a simple yes or no. No hexes, curses or spellwork.
