Full Moon Card Draw

[wyld_dandelyon]

Happy Rose Moon, everyone! My roses are a bit behind the times this year, unfortunately. But the moon keeps her own time.

It's been a while since I did a card draw, and the full moon seems like a perfect time. Also, Summer is starting, flowers are starting to bloom in my yard (I've been remiss in posting pictures here, but you can always check out my facebook to see what I've been up to that didn't feel like a whole LJ post when I wrote it. Also, when I went to Indiana for my daughter's college graduation ceremony, I stopped at the game and book store that was one of my havens when I was in college and picked up a new deck--and you have to use new decks. It's like a geas.

So, you're welcome to ask for a card or ask a specific question. You can also request inspiration for a creative project, a reading for one of your characters, or just something to meditate on.

I will leave this post open for free readings for at least a few hours; when free readings are closed, I'll edit that in here, so you don't have to guess. If you tip, it's helpful to mention that here and also to put your LJ name in the comments when you tip so it's easy for me to match the request and the tip.

I've written before about why I do readings and some of the decks I use here, feel free to hop over and check me out. I'll wait.

Today you can pick from my new deck, the Londa Tarot, the Shapeshifter Tarot, or the Faeries' Oracle. You can ask a question or just ask for a card. If you tip, you can also ask for an additional card, or a card from any other deck I have. Not sure if I have a particular deck? You're welcome to ask.

Alternatively, I can draw you (or your character) a Guide for the season (or a project or some other period of time) from my combined deck of Susan Seddon Boulet art cards. You can ask for this as your free reading if you don't ask for a card from one of the decks listed above.

Finally, you could ask to have my Torn World character, Rai Kunabei, do a disk reading for you or for a torn world character of your choice. This will take the form of an imaginary visit to Torn World and will feature the divination disks I designed for that world. Feel free to include some details about yourself to help me portray you in this world.

Please consider dropping something in the case! Readings take time and energy, and I am currently funding home repairs. (Yes, I was doing that last time too, but between then and now, the city inspector added things to my to-do list.) Signal boosts are also appreciated. If you are tipping, please include that in your reply here, so I'm not guessing when I sit down to do your reading. If you tipped or boosted the signal, feel free to request a clarification card if you want one.

I understand all too well that sometimes people don't have cash or spoons, and it is generally during those times when people most need inspiration! Don't be afraid to ask for a card if you can't tip.

Tips should be at least $1 (Paypal charges fees) or at least one Torn World credit. If neither of these work for you, drop me a message and we'll work something out.

You can get a private reading if you tip; I'll send the reading to the e-mail you use for tipping or you can send a private message to make other arrangements. I'm also open to doing longer paid readings, for instance Celtic Cross or Wheel of the Year; again, please send a private message if you're interested.

I will do readings promptly, but I irritated the degenerative tendon disease in my right shoulder and intermittently typing hurts, so if I get a lot of requests I may need to rest the arm, and if so it may take a little time. I will reply to all requests. If the number of requests nears my limits, I'll close this One Card Draw rather than risk leaving anyone without a response.

Thank you!

As always, in accordance with federal law, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

Re: Card?

Well, let's start with a bit about the deck. Londa is the artist. Her style is unusual, the faces are pointy, with very prominent cheekbones and interesting hair. Both the faces and poses are expressive, and the pamphler describes the characters as being "in a state of theatrics", which is a good description.

It's hard to get a feel for a deck from one card, so I drew three.

The first is The Chariot, which shows a young man with hair that shade that some people call brown and others blond. His chariot is blocky, with a pharoah carved into the front and blue banners with stars behind his shoulders. He is wearing black pants and a jacket with gold buttons, leaving is midriff bare. He has leather gloves that are the same color as his hair. He looks bold and confident, and kind of casual about the race or war or whatever it is that he is riding to.

The second card is the Eight of Pentacles, and shows a black haired person of indeterminate gender wearing green. This person's eyebrows extend out over the shoulders, and he or she is leaning on one hand, looking pensive or bored, with an open book in front of him. The desk is cluttered with tarot books, paint brushes, an incense burner, a crystal ball, some runes, cards, a candle, and a statue. There is a frazzled-looking white cat sleeping under a ouija board (almost as if it's a blanket) under the desk. The eight pentacles are in front of the desk.

The third card is The Star. This shows a very pale woman with huge black hair. She is wearing only purple metal bracelets, and is kneeling serenely in front of a stream and a bright star-filled sky. She holds two urns, that constantly release water and magical sparkles to land on both the water and the land under her knees.

For an interpretation, it looks like you are setting out on some adventure or starting a project. You look confident on the outside, but inside, you are worried about whether you have all of the knowledge or tools that you will need. You have lots of stuff that might be useful, but you shouldn't worry about that, because it is making the connection with your goal that matters, not all the clutter. The skills you need are in your hands and heart, not in books or prognostications. Oh, and make sure the poor cat has fresh water. That's far more useful for you and him than a ouija board!

Thank you so much for this.

I've been, in fact, smack in the middle of the 'race' to a particular goal, so much so that I'm only finding time to read and reply to a few comments at a time.

I needed time to think about this in particular, because there are four major ongoing goals in my life, three are either mine or directly relate to mine, and the fourth is my best friend's, which I want to help her achieve.

The surface confidence and paddle-like-mad beneath it is, yeah... nailed it.

I think I want to keep the cat. *G*

Thank you again.
