It's a New Moon this evening, so I'm opening my garden for a card draw. As always, I hope to send some good energy out into the world, to spark some hope and creativity. You can ask about real life or a creative project, or even a game. I can draw a card for you to meditate on, to represent the Guide you need right now, or to get you unstuck. I can draw a card for a character or can draw a card or cards for you to use as writing or art prompts--starting something new is a traditional use of New Moon energy. But ask what you will, because now is always transforming into a new moment.

I hope you will stop by my garden. It's warm this evening, the grass is green, the roses are mostly starting to bud, and the dandelions and weeds are growing. There's a few tulips and daffodils--they're thinner than I would wish, since the squirrels think they're food when we first plant them, but spring blooms are always welcome. You and I can share hot chocolate or tea and chat, and you can get a reading if you would like one.

New friends and old are welcome.

For free one card readings, you can pick from the Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle, the Daughters of the Moon Tarot (one of the round decks), or the Shapeshifter Tarot. You can ask a question, ask for a Guide or for inspiration, or you can just ask for a card. I don't need to know what your question is, but you are welcome to share it with me if you like.

The first card is free (though tips are always appreciated). Tips also let you ask me to use any of my other decks, including but not limited to my combined Susan Seddon Boulet Animal Spirits and Goddesses cards. Tipping ca also be used to request a private reading, or to draw a clarifying card. If you want a longer reading, send a direct message so we can agree on the type of reading and rate.

Please consider dropping something in the guitar case below. Readings take time and energy, and even though the Milwaukee winter, like everything else, has been affected by global warming, winter heat is pricey and old houses always need repair somewhere or other.

Signal boosts are very much appreciated, and also earn you the right to ask for a clarifying card.

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

If you tip, it's helpful to me for you to mention it here so I can connect your paypal information with your request. Tips should be at least $1 (Paypal charges fees). If that doesn't work for you, drop me a message and we'll work something out.

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.

I will reply to all requests. In the highly unlikely event that the number of requests nears my limits, I'll close this card draw by adding a clear note at the top of the post rather than risk leaving anyone without a response. However, I intend to stay open at least through Thursday morning, and longer for paid readings. The weekend will be busy, so if you get your request in after noon on Thursday, I may not draw your card until Sunday night. If that's all right with you, it's all right with me!

Thank you, and Blessed Be!

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

It's funny, because I actually found that site yesterday before asking you to use the deck, and Maat was one of the ones I was looking at. Plus I was talking to my friend about her cat with that name.

I hope you're right about the house being in harmony. We're still doing inspections on it because there's a foundation crack, and I want it to be that we can afford to repair it (we took the amount of the estimate off the asking price) and not have to give it up and start looking again. We chose it in part because of details like a little square basement window that would make a perfect cat door. Partner really wants a cat but I'm allergic, so our idea is to let the cat be in the raised, finished basement which is his space, and outside. The upstairs is mine.

I want to paint. I've done it before and I'm working on colours. The deep red, gold, browns and blues in that card are a little like the ones I'm playing with in Photoshop.

I'm rambling. I'd be happy to have another card though. I don't have a specific question but inspiration is good.

Yes, Maat is all for you, this time at least!

I'm not positive that this is the house for you--certainty is beyond the scope of what I can do with cards--but I am sure you have the resources to make the home you choose harmonious, if you keep that goal in mind and do the necessary work.

So, another card, for inspiration, and I get the hurricane. Really, cards?

Well, it does have browns golds, blues, and a hint of red, so it's the same color scheme, but it doesn't seem very inspiring at first glance.

Ok, well--the first thing that comes to my mind is to check the house carefully for storm damage. The second is that you will want to make sure the house is well weatherproofed in case of future storms. The third is the allergy thing and wind--make sure you have good air flow in the areas the cat will inhabit.

Then I notice there is a sailboat off to one side, but it does not seem threatened by the storm. You'd think it would be. Perhaps what the card means is that in this house--or in the one you choose--you can create shelter from whatever storms, physical or metaphorical, you will face in the future.

In a way, I suppose that is inspiration, of a sort--creating a peaceful haven, a harbor from all storms--that sounds like a good inspiration, or at least a good goal, to me.

Okay, that's a little bit scary.

Don't worry, I know the reading of the cards isn't the guide of whether to get that particular house. That's why we've called professionals to do the inspection.

But maybe the hurricane is accurate. One of the things that's really important to me about working with tarot is not to hide amongst pretty shiny interpretations. I want to see the negative too.

The foundation problem is related to water damage, and what might be needed for the fix is a proper drainage system. This isn't a part of the world that gets hurricanes, but it does get more rain than I'm used to. I think you're right about making sure that any fix includes good weatherproofing.

Good shelter, peaceful haven, a harbor from storms physical and metaphorical, it would be wonderful if owning a house could mean these things.

Good luck!

(I wonder when the notice for your reply to "the hurricane" will arrive in my e-mail! I'm over on DW under the same user-name, so you can find me if LJ implodes or their new management kicks my queer ass out of here for being "political".)

Wow--the notification for this reply and the previous one just now showed up in my e-mail in-box.

LJ isn't doing so well!
