Readings for New Moon and Solstice
The interwebs tell me that this is the "Micro Moon." I'm not quite sure what to make of that, except of course that it's time to read cards for people. The Winter Solstice is coming up too. Given how busy things are for everyone (including me), I'm leaving this open until December 23.
Feel free to ask about the new year if you want, since magically the new moon and new year are the same kind of energy, but I do plan to do a Full Moon reading on January 1, so you can, instead, ask for advice on handling the holidays or on new projects or, really, anything you want.
If you want to give me a present this Yule, please go look at my Patreon, I'd love to hear what you think. I'll be posting a 1st draft chapter of my Quirky Writer's Guide to Foiling Writer's Block in the next day or two, and then will start work on a post for my very first (and treasured) patron.
Would people be interested in a more expensive reading for the new year? If so, a month-by month reading or something else? If there's interest, I can arrange to do that on the Solstice or as part of the January 1 readings.
As always, 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. A signal boost for readings or for the Patereon will allow you to ask for a clarification card on some part of this reading, if you wish.
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 my decks, including the Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle, the Daughters of the Moon Tarot (one of the round decks), or the Shapeshifter Tarot. If you want a Guide to companion you in the new year or the holidays, the Susan Seddon Boulet or Fairies Oracle both work well. 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). 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 will reply to all requests, though with the holidays, there may be a delay in getting to you.
Thank you, Blessed Be, and may whatever holidays you celebrate be low-stress and joyful!
Status: Open!
As always, while I work hard to offer insight and inspiration, all I can legally promise is entertainment. See my "Dandelyon's Readings" page if you have questions.

The Piper
But even if life is busy, and there's gifts to wrap, it's great to see you. I've just mopped the floor, and it has to dry, so why don't we head to the kitchen and grab a snack?
As I chatter, the house grows silent, and a thread of melody sounds. The music isn't intrusive. It focuses me, though, and I fall silent too, listening. A tall elf beckons us into the kitchen, not with his hands or voice, but with the music of his pan pipes.
Now that we're listening, he adds in harmonies. I can't tell how he's doing that, but he's a fairy, so I guess I can't expect to be able to learn to play music the way he does. Still, I'd like to. I make tea, and get out cookies and things, and set some in front of the Piper.
He plays a complicated phrase on the pipes, holding the notes as he gestures with his hand. Then he sets the pipes down, but the music continues. "I hate to do it this way for long," he says, "but a guy has to eat sometimes. And those cookies look good!"
I say, "Your music, it makes me want to listen, and to sing."
He smiles. "Sing, then, and listen. You need both at the same time to be part of the harmony."
"True enough."
He turns to you. "You can sing too, in voice or in your heart, and I'll add harmonies, harmonies for healing and growth, for creativity, harmonies to help you find your way. But you'll have to listen."
"To your music?"
He takes a bite of cookie, and the music soars. "To everything. To other people, to your dreams, to the world around you. My music is in all of them, even the difficult ones. Though the difficult ones have more trouble hearing me and harmonizing."
He finishes the cookie, and drinks down the hot tea in one long swallow. "Wow, that was a lot of words for me! Thanks for the snack." Then he picks the pipes up again and starts to play normally. He bows his thanks, and gives you a smile.
I think about so many more questions, but I think I know his answers. Listen, and try to create harmony. He wanders off, sill playing, and the echoes of his music remain long after he's gone.
