New Moon Readings

wyld_dandelyonI've been busy, and missed the Full Moon. Ah, well, I did get some paintings into a mini-art exhibit here in town and I have been doing NaNoWriMo, trying to finish and then start some new unicorn-related stories. (Since I had a deadline for rewriting one snow-unicorn story and for finishing another, I named this year's "Novel" Unicorn Triptych. I've also been working on A Fiction Writer’s Quirky Guide to Courting Inspiration and Foiling Writer’s Block and musing about that Patreon thing. I have actually started to write up some rewards and goals, and am hesitating about whether I've got them at all right. I'm also hesitating about doing a video. Ack!
What have you been up to? I love to hear from you.
New friends and old are very welcome.
About the readings,
You can simply ask for a single card (with the usual clarifying card for people who tip). The guitar case below is my personal PayPal link, featuring my own artwork, which still inspires me even though it isn't Tarot-related.
I am also offering a five-card reading for $25, 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. Alternatively, for at least $10 you can ask for a Torn World reading and get an in-character reading set in Affamarg or the Breidalam Mountains using that world's standard layout for the divination disks.
Regardless of the length of the reading, you may ask about real life or a creative project, even for a character you play in 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 your protagonist or villain, or can draw a card or cards for you to use as writing or art prompts, and I can modify a more-traditional five-card spread into a prompt for a story focusing on plot or characters or a little of both. Let me know if you have any particular request.
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. If you don't pick a deck, I might pick from any of the decks available to me.
The first card is free (though tips are always appreciated). Paid readings, short or long, 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 and my Fantasy Showcase Tarot deck where each card was done by a different science fiction/fantasy artist.
Tipping can also be used to request a private reading.
Signal boosts are very much appreciated, and also earn you the right to ask for a clarifying card. (If you only signal boost, please do not ask for two cards to start with. A clarifying card, if the reading is unclear to you, is fine.)
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.
When 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 $2 (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 about 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 changing the status line below rather than risk leaving anyone without a response.
Thank you, and Blessed Be!
Status: Open to free one-card readings until I go to sleep Sunday night (which will doubtless be well after midnight) and open to tipped readings until this status message is changed.
As always, these readings are for entertainment and inspiration only. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

The Sage
Date: 2017-11-19 03:26 pm (UTC)Our footsteps wake The Sage, who was napping near one of the rose bushes. He looks up and stretches. "Oh, there you are."
I didn't put a coat on, and I'm realizing it's just about freezing out. "We should go inside--unlike you fairies, we get cold."
He smiles. "Oh, I feel the cold too, though not quite the same way you do. Winter is coming, it makes me sleepy. But I'd be happy to come inside with you. I should head home before the winter's long sleep--I sleep better in my bed than in a garden, even one as lovely and newly-winter bound as yours."
I lead you both inside, as The Sage chats with you about the pleasures of sleep. Then he turns to me. "Do you have hot chocolate?
I smile. I keep milk and chocolate handy, always. "Of course."
You ask him a question, and he talks about the importance of simplifying one's thoughts. "To go to sleep on purpose, it helps to do something that slows you down, like winter slows me down. You know all the advice, really, you have to have heard it all. Some of it will work for you. I think you know at least some things that help you feel relaxed and sleepy. The key is to do those things wisely and mindfully."
You nod. He smiles at you and pats your hand. "You'll figure it out." He looks at me. "You should be more mindful about your sleep too."
Um, yeah. I go to get people's drinks.
********
(As a personal note, if you're falling asleep when you think you've gotten enough sleep, or without realizing you're sleepy, you should have that checked out, make sure you don't have sleep apnea or a med that's having side effects or something else that might be fixed or improved. Good luck!)
