EDIT: This draw has been unofficially closed since lunchtime; I suppose I should make it official. Since this is still (barely) the first day of the lunar new year, I'll honor all requests to date, over the next day or two. Unfortunately, though my throat is better, my sinuses are now trying to imitate fountains, and I'm out of energy for this evening. Thanks again for your patience and for your tips!
_____________________________________

I've been trying to hold off a sore throat all week, with limited success, but it is Imbolc, and there's so much snow the City is basically shut down, so I'm going to do a Card Draw. Since I've got lots to do, even if we could ignore the snow, which we can't--I should have to go in to work tomorrow--I'm limiting this to one card.

Rai Kunabei thinks this is a very strange, outlandish way to do things.  However, since she was a child, she has always wanted to travel and try new things, so she's willing to give it a try.  She does ask, however, that if you want a Torn World disk reading, you should please either ask a question or indicate which of the three aspects your question or concern is rooted in--natural, artificial, or abstract.

I also offer readings from the Faeries' Oracle.  I always find them inspiring, and I get the feeling that they'd be happy to be out playing on such a wild, snowy day.

For a third deck...hmm...I really don't feel a particular draw to any of my other decks today. If you want something else, give me an idea what you are seeking and I'll compare it to what I have, and try to pick something appropriate.

As always, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only, and you are welcome to ask about your creative endeavors as well as more traditional questions.  See my new "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you  have questions.

And please consider dropping something in the case!  Readings take time and energy, and temporary workers don't get paid just because the office is closed due to a blizzard.  If you can't tip, signal boosts are appreciated both for these readings and for Torn World.  However, I understand all too well that sometimes people don't have the spoons to reciprocate, and it is generally during those times when people most need inspiration! 


I hope you will consider voting for  Torn World in the top web fiction poll (you can vote for all of your favorites, and your vote will affect what shows up on their landing page for a week).  Finally, the Rose and Bay Award nominations are now all up over in  [livejournal.com profile] crowdfunding , and assuming that the organizers' internet connections are working despite ice storms and blizzards, there should be voting polls up in all categories. I hope you'll check out the nominees and consider voting for one of my projects. 

But whether those things interest you or not, if you'd like a reading, please ask!

I would love some advice about a project at work. I really want this project to succeed, but I'm not sure how to move it forward.

The Three Moons

For you, Kunabei draws a copper disk, showing a night sky with the three moons of Torn World. The central moon is large, and full, though the shadows are quite different from those caused by our own mares. The other two moons are tiny, barely larger than the stars around them, one preceding the big moon, and one following it.

"The moons are the embodiment of abstract essence--the lands that everyone can see but no one can visit or even touch. The success of this project is all in the ideas. Oh, you need to do the preparation, the presentation, and the follow-up. But all of that will do no good if the ideas aren't good in the first place."

She puts the disk away. "Have you seen our moons? High in the mountains, it's easier to tell that the smaller moons are moons, with a round face like the primary has. Tonight promises to be clear--might you stick around after dinner?"

Ooh, that is a very helpful perspective, and I suspect for more than just the project I initially had in mind. I think that I've been getting bogged down in details of presentation and losing sight of the bigger picture.

Thank you. And I would be delighted to tarry a while and spend some time gazing at the three moons!

You're welcome!

I have a couple of different moon myths up on Torn World; if you're interested, I could go look up the links.

Ooh, now that you've mentioned it, I found Kasiikar’s New Hunting Ground, but if you have similar stories you'd like to recommend, I'd be grateful for the links. :)

I'm not sure I'd call it similar, but this is another moon myth, and one from the same mountains that the Kuleilyi (Kunabei's tribe) inhabit: http://www.tornworld.net/storypageview.php?id=85
