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!

Ffaff the Ffooterr

[wyld-dandelyon.livejournal.com]

Oh, look, here is a tiny, skinny faerie with huge, bare feet. He's flying after you, taking one of your feet into his long-fingered hands, and then another, and another, pulling them toward the Earth.

When you resist, he flits in front of your face and points downward. There you see The Laume resting in a garden of flowers, talking to Geeeeooo the Slooow. Geeeooo waves at you, and the Laume lifts a glass, offering it to you. In the meantime, Ffaff pulls at your feet, then darts down to dance upon the ground. The Laume offers him a bit of chocolate, and then lifts the plate toward you.

Are you perhaps burning your candle at too many ends?

I'm... not at all familiar with these figures. The Laume, at least, can be looked up online, but I can only guess what the others might mean or desire.

In particular, since Ffaff is the figure named in the drawing, well, I look at my own feet, and I find them damaged. I walk much more than I like, to get places, and I do not feel well connected to the places I walk when I do. Walking for pleasure is rare. Walking for exercise is unnecessary because I'm always walking, or on my feet. And my shoes are wearing out again.

But if I am in flight, in this image... what then?

My intuition is not responding well; perhaps it is mistuned.

Thank you for this drawing. I'll ponder it further, I think.

I would not be surprised to find that some of them come from Brian Froud's personal visions of Faerie, though I do not actually know. He does say that Ffaff is very concerned with the state of one's feet, and with one's connection to the ground, as well as one's magical or metaphorical groundedness. Perhaps his message for you is about caring for your feet, or connecting to the places you go. Or perhaps his message is as prosaic as "get new shoes", though I think there is more to it than that.

Geeeeooo, on the other hand, is about taking the time you need--sometimes speed, especially speed for speed's sake, is counter-productive or unhealthy.
