A Full Moon Card Draw

With the current state of politics, I'm feeling more need for insight and inspiration than usual, and I'm thinking my friends might also be feeling the same. So I'm going to try to schedule card readings more often this year, hopefully at least once a month at either the full moon or then new (or possibly both).

It's a Full New Moon tonight, so I figure I'll offer to draw cards for a while. I am hoping 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.

I hope you will stop by my garden. There's still some snow outside, so we'll pass through the frost-covered rose bushes and head inside. I have a little round glass table that's etched with a dragon design; we can sit there by candle light or turn the lava lamps on. You and I can share hot chocolate or tea and chat, and you can get a reading if you would like one. Both new friends and old are welcome.

For a day or two for free one card readings, you can pick from the Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle, my combined Susan Seddon Boulet Animal Spirits and Goddesses cards, or the Shapeshifter Tarot. You can ask a question, ask for a Guide, ask 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, 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 Saturday night, and longer for paid readings since, between the holidays and being in these days of low LJ usage, people may find the post late.

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.

Goddess of Earth

For you I drew the Goddess of the Earth Element, which corresponds to the Queen of Pentacles in most decks. The mage is a woman in a golden breast-plate and shoulder pauldrons. She has a gold snake or snake bracelet on her left arm, and her right hand is scattering flowers into the world. She wears a mantle of green and rose, and we can see her hare-spirit, also on the left. A bird flies high overhead on one side, and a tree blooms in the background. The imagery flows and moves, one part into another.

The earth is made of inter-mingled ecosystems, of predators and prey, of different points of view that alternately run together or throw each other into stark contrasts. But all the parts, in balance, are necessary. The hard part is the balance--having the perception to see how it all works and the wisdom to set it right if something has gone wrong. The goddess is up to the task, however, and stands in the center of it all, confident and open-handed.

This card suggests to me that your year will be complex, but if you don't panic, you'll have the resources you need to get through it and to keep your little part of the world in a healthy balance. The fact that she is a rabbit-Goddess suggests you don't need to be predatory or violent, and the flowers flowing from her right hand suggests that sharing joy is as important as the more practical and self-protective things you will need to do.

Gah! Was hoping for a much easier description!!! Lol

I love rabbits so maybe I can channel that and be less confrontational, and more peaceful.

Thanks!!
