New Moon - Total Eclipse! - Card Reading

Status: No new free card requests, please. Paid readings are fine, however.

So, I've been dealing with a family medical thing, and not much on the internet. I have a partially-written post about the wonderful writer's conference I went to last month that I haven't finished, and other stuff to share, but mostly what's been on my mind is this medical thing, and it's not my story to tell (which I am finding is frustrating for a storyteller to deal with). But I will continue to respect the person's wish for privacy, and not share details. It's nothing to be alarmed about, however, though I was worrying for a while. But medical stuff is always like that--there's always a chance things could go wrong, or something is worse than the doctors thought. So you worry. It's a part of being human, I think.

Today I'm wishing I could travel to see the eclipse properly in totality, but it is not to be. We'll see as much as we can from outside the clinic where there's a doctor's appointment shortly after as much of the totality as we'll get to experience. I guess I'll count my blessings and be happy that the appointment isn't during the height of it.

The cards are set out in a big window, out of their silk wrappings to absorb the energy of the eclipse.

I'm going to offer a five-card reading for $25 or a three-card for $20, or if you want a larger reading we can discuss costs. As always, a signal boost will allow you to ask for a clarification card on some part of this reading, if you wish.

Or, of course, you can simply ask for a single card (with the usual clarifying card for people who tip or boost the signal). The guitar case below is my personal PayPal link, featuring my own artwork, which still inspires me even though it isn't Tarot-related.

So, let's see if I can offer some some inspiration or spark some creativity for you. You can ask about real life or a creative project, or even a game. Ask that once-in-a-lifetime question, if you want, in your heart if you don't want to write it out. Perhaps the energy of the eclipse will offer special insight. 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, and I can modify a more-traditional spread into a prompt for a story focusing on plot or characters or a little of both.

New friends and old are very welcome. I'm happy to have you visit.

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 (including requests for longer readings) also let you ask me to use my combined Susan Seddon Boulet Animal Spirits and Goddesses cards. Other decks (unless you want me to read for you using Magic the Gathering cards, which have great artwork and therefore could be used) are not available right now. Tipping can 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.

Signal boosts are very much appreciated, and also earn you the right to ask for a clarifying card. I'd love to do a bunch of readings for this eclipse! I expect to stay open until at least Tuesday night, and possibly longer.

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 Paypal 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 through the weekend, and longer for paid readings.

Thank you, Blessed Be, and Happy Eclipse!

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

May I please have a one card reading? I’m fine with it being a card from either Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle or the Shapeshifter Tarot. Whichever of the two sets you feel best using.

Boosted. Daughters of the Moon, please. Hmm. One to meditate on and one for guidance, please? Thank you.

I've been afraid to delve too much into 2 request to fractle-partially because school, and partially because...fears, I gues.

But now this is-eclipsed-no pun intended-by the choice-family's dark season and whether or not the four of us will make it through as a clan or be splintered. SO tell me, plese, where is my biggest drawback right now? Because I don't think it's communication anymore like it was before. Also: https://we-are-spc.dreamwidth.org/87577.html boosted here. So...clarify what I need to start with=or continue doing, plz? Because all of us are frustrated-and very few of us like this situation right now. Also: which ever deck calls to you-I'm not one to limit there, though I probably should.

I found this through calliopes_pen. Is there any way I can arrange a reading?

<warm fuzzies> I hear you about the worrying. Glad you're okay, and looking forward to hearing about the writers' conference and what you've been writing lately, if you've had any time for that.

No card, just wanted to say it's good to hear from you!

I would love a card from whichever deck speaks most strongly to you about what the Universe wants me to focus on most right now.

I think it's time. I'd like to do the five card reading. Either Shapeshifter or Animal Spirits and Goddesses, whichever calls. I'll message you an email address in case you don't already have it. The money will be on the way too.

Whatever the Universe wants to tell me with one card, please. I don't have enough spare cash for a larger reading (and that's part of the uncertainty I want to get past) - but from the previous readings you've given me, I know that even one card can give me a lot of information! Thanks!

Just now (Saturday evening) got around to catching up with my DW feed, and saw a signal boost for this - here via [personal profile] we_are_spc. One card, please, and the focus of my concern is my own health, specifically how to handle my body's unexpected but undeniable malfunctions under significant heat stress: i.e. working outdoors in temperatures over 80F. While I find my new part-time job fascinating, and adequately rewarding financially, the working conditions are the most physically arduous that I have faced in over three decades. :-(

As for the cosmic event earlier this week, I was one of the lucky few within driving range of totality, so I got to experience that with a friend and in the company of other "non-traditional" folks. It was glorious!
