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.

If you have time & energy, would I be able to ask for a card from your Shapeshifter deck? I'd like some guidance on what I should be focusing on to improve my work performance over the next couple months.

Thank you kindly for the nudge.

The Sacred Flame

For you, I draw The Sacred lame, reversed. This is the Shapeshifter Tarot's equivalent to the Ace of Swords, though most decks list swords as an air rather than a fire card.

The image is a dryad being ecstatically struck by lightning. The glow from the lightning gives the appearance of gold coins to the rocks and soil at her feer/roots. With the card reversed, it's as if her branches and arms are her roots, and the coins are her fruits.

It looks to me as if you need to tend the "roots" of your work performance, whether that is finding ways to feel inspired or just taking care of yourself (or perhaps both). Also, asking for help from above (in the spiritual sense) and from below (in practical terms, perhaps advice or cooperation from co-workers? Or maybe you could inspire them?) may be in order.

There is also a cow standing next to the dryad; with the card reversed, I go back and forth between seeing an odd-shaped mountain in the distance and seeing two towers on a hill. I'm not sure what to make of that, but perhaps it will suggest something to you.

It's a powerful card, though in the sense of being empowered, not in the sense of exercising power over others. Whether you find your inspiration in a comment from a co-worker or from your higher self, you are in a position to make constructive improvements. Just be as wise as you can, since a reversed card always carries some amount of either warning for the future or recognition that something you're doing now could bear improvement.

But of course, given your question, you knew that already.

Thank you! Some of it makes sense, especially in light of some of the tasks I've recently been learning. The rest of it I think I need to sit with & think about. Thank you kindly for the time & energy you spent doing this.

I hope it provides useful insight and inspiration!

And you are very welcome.
