meeksp! She captured the bright enamels, the different metal colors, and even the casual integration with daily life shown in my Torn World-style readings by Rai-Kunabei. Thank you, Meeks!
(For those who don't know, she periodically draws an icon as a random "door prize" for one of the people who comment on her drawings. You should go check out her art.)
I've done this before. If you hang out here, you probably know what to do. If not, and you want more information that the notes below, go here for a bit of information. (I'm carving a bit of time out of my lunch hour to make this post, so please pardon me if I seem rushed!)
EDIT: THIS DRAW IS CLOSED. However, if you missed it, and really want a card or three, I'll add you to the queue for $5/card.
Please leave a question or comment, and a tip if you can. Anyone can request a free card. As a thank-you for people who tip $5 or more, I'll do a two-card reading, and $10 or more, a three-card reading. You can suggest a divination method/deck if you have a preference, out of the ones that I use.
I will probably do most of the readings over the weekend, however, I wanted to get this posted so anyone who particularly wants a reading drawn on the Equinox has that opportunity. Please let me know if a reading done during the equinox would be particularly meaningful to you. Otherwise, patrons will be given priority on readings. Please note: I do readings to the best of my ability to provide inspiration, insight, and entertainment. Please go see a mundane professional if you need one.
Again, sorry for the brevity of the introductory post! Gotta run!
Oh, dear, I almost forgot to put the hat out!

She reaches into the bag and pulls out three disks, the first two iron and the last bronze. She sets them in front of you as they come out, each image skewed a little sideways.
"Your first image, the Mountain, stands for the natural aspects of your situation. The mountain is the challenging aspect of land, at once the source of our wealth and the realm where we encounter wraiths. Whatever this reading is about, the abundance and dangers of the mountain are the landscape in which you must work.
The second image, in the man-made or technological spot, can represent man-made challenges, but is more often the skills or tools you need to deal with the problems you will encounter. This is an ancient seaside, a place that for all the sundered years existed only in history and mythology. I'm not sure how distant history and mythology are either a challenge or a tool, but perhaps that will make more sense to you.
Finally, in the abstract spot, we have birth, the embodiment of natural beginnings. It's possible you're beginning an endeavor, but the abstract disk is rarely so obvious in its meaning. Perhaps there's something about creating new beginnings that is important to your success.
She lets you look at the disks for a few minutes, and you look at the fine, detailed enamel work. An older woman was waiting behind you, and Rai-Kunabei waved her forward. They start discussing the design for the new Salamander disk, and you join the conversation, ending up with an invitation to look over all of the disks in the bag, which are the disks made for Rai-Konalei, Kunabei's great grandmother. With great pride, they show you the first few disks in the set that is being made for Rai-Kunabei.
You sit there talking about art and symbolism and Kuleilyi mythology until dinnertime, and then continue the conversation indoors over good food.
