New Year's Card Draw

[wyld_dandelyon]

I've decided to throw this open a little early. I plan to leave it open until sometime on January 1; if it's not the 2nd and I don't have a "closed" sign at the top of this post, you're welcome to request a card (or three, in the case of Torn World readings).

Of course, the usual disclaimers apply -- a card reading can't substitute for professional advice. If you need a doctor or lawyer or financial planner, etc., that's not me. If I can provide some entertainment, or help you get in touch with your own higher power(s) or inner muse(s), on the other hand, I'm glad to be of service.

Decks:

I'm going to offer three-card Torn World readings again.  You can have a reading from the Kuleilyi Divination Disks, much as Bai-Kunabei might give if you were to get a reading from her.

If you would like a Guide, I have the combined combined deck I made out of Susan Seddon Boulet's Goddesses and Animal Spirits.

To bring meaning out of chaos, the Fantasy Showcase Tarot featuring art collected by Bruce Pelz, where each card is by a different artist (or, in one case, two artists).

For inspiration, guides, whimsy, and sheer beauty, Brian Froud's Fairies' Oracle.  (Though some of the advice provided by this deck last time was quite practical.)

And finally, because five is a magical number, the Shapeshifter Tarot.

Rules:  Do I need rules?  Ask what you want to ask, the way you want to ask (within the limits of polite behavior, anyway).  Let me know which deck you'd like me to  use.  My cards have always been respectful of the creative life; feel free to ask about creative projects if you wish.

Payment:  No payment is necessary, but this does take time and energy.  Any tips will be gratefully appreciated and applied to the "Get a Laptop that doesn't crash when it overheats" fund, which still has a long way to go.  And if things get busy, I'll do readings for people who tip first.

I hope you all have a wonderful new year!

The shaman smiles up at you. "It is good to see you again. Be welcome, have a seat." She waits while you settle on the blanket, and offers you a bowl. It is filled with bits of paper, each one twisted around something small. Curious, you take one and stare at it. It's heavier than you thought it would be.

"It's a midwinter blessing. They're all different, go ahead and open yours."

You open it, and find a small bit of metal, one link from a chain of some sort.

She smiles. "Ah--you got a bit of metal. Good. Good. Metal is always fortuitous. But you came here for a reading. Let's see..." She reaches into her bag and draws out a gold disk with a stylized woman depicted on it. "Your work--it's a part of you, of your thought and being, growing as naturally as a tree out of the ground. To make it the best it can be," she reaches in again, and pulls out an iron disk. "The door. This is the sheltering aspect of borders. You decide which parts of your consciousness to share, and when and how. When and how you reveal things--and what you keep hidden as well--the door is the tool you need to hand right now." She looks at you curiously, "Does that make sense to you?" She reaches out to touch the link of chain that you still hold in your hand. "Doors can be left wide open or chained shut, or anything in between."

She reaches into the bag again and pulls out a copper disk. "And the abstract--the ideas that shape this--" she turns it over to reveal an image of a blacksmith. "The Artist. Yes--you make these decisions, these choices with the mind and heart of an artist. Keep that in mind."

oh my god

OK, now you are freaking me out a little, in a good way. I am just working on a character and trying to figure out how much to reveal, in what order and when.

She looks at you curiously, "Does that make sense to you?"
Oh hell to the yes. Every single bit of it. Wow.
