New Moon Readings
Hello! It's been a busy year, and the end of winter is always hard on my health. I've been working on getting out the vote for Wisconsin elections, and we got a progressive woman elected to Wiscosin's Supreme Court, a Judge with a lot more experience than either her Democratic challenger in the primary or her Republican challenger. But it was a lot of work, and exhausting in a time of year when my energy is low anyway.
To facilitate this, we ended up doing a bunch of work on the house, and I'd share a couple of photos here, but I still haven't figured out how to get DW to actually display my photos, and I want to get this post up. So, I finally got the cool dragon towel holders on the walls in the downstairs bathroom, and they look great.
And then there were taxes, which I wrote about in my Patreon, over here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/artist-and-tax-18012188 The piece is called The Artist and the Tax Monster.
And then the power thingy in my backup computer broke. The plastic is visibly cracked and I can't get power into the thing, so until that's fixed, that computer is not doing a dang thing. Then my partner accidentally knocked my primary computer to the floor and disconnected the screen from the rest of the computer, so that computer will need to be sent away for weeks to find out if it's even worth fixing. Aaaaaugh. That decidedly less pleasant photo is also on facebook instead of here.
So on the new moon this month, I got a new tiny computer that is partially set up now, and to celebrate I'm doing New Moon readings. Doubtless with typos. I apologize ahead of time.
As always, New friends and old are very welcome.
About the readings,
You can simply ask for a single card with no obligation to tip (though tips are very much appreciated, and allow you to ask for a clarifying card if the reading is not clear). The guitar case below is my personal PayPal link, featuring my own artwork, which does inspire me even though it isn't Tarot-related. Supporters of my Patreon at the $5 level get a two-card reading instead of one.
I am also offering a three-card reading for $20 or a five-card reading for $35, or if you want a larger reading we can discuss costs. A signal boost for readings or for my Patereon will also 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 art cards 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. It's also helpful to remind me if you're a Patreon supporter, especially a new one!
I will reply to all requests. If I start to get overwhelmed, I will close to free readings; in that unlikely event, that will be in nice bold letters afte word Status below. I plan to stay open until late Friday for free readings. After that, you can ask for a paid reading, if you want one.
Thank you, Blessed Be, and may your new year be full of joy and dreams made happily true!
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 for a little more about my readings.

I would greatly appreciate a one card draw from either Brian Froud's Faeries Oracle or the Shapeshifter Tarot. Whichever one you feel best with. Thank you in advance.
The Journeyman, reversed
"You're asking me?" I ask. "How would I know?"
"You're right." He spreads his pointy ears wide and looks around and spies you. "Perhaps I should ask you--this is your reading, right? So, perhaps I'm really worrying about you, and not young Oengus there. What journeys of the body or spirit have you been planning?"
He doesn't wait for an answer, at least not yet. "Have you considered carefully whether this journey you have planned is taking you in the direction you want to go? What are your life goals? No, don't tell me, tell you.
His words remind me of a talk by Neil Gaiman, where he talks about his life goals as a mountain in the distance, and he said he considered, with each project and book contract whether they took him toward the mountain or away.
I was going to say that aloud, but the master's attention has been distracted. "Oh, dear--he's gotten himself tangled in your rose bushes! I'd better go get him right side up before he does some damage to them or to himself!" The old faery dashes out into the snow, leaving me with my mouth hanging open.
I close it, and then decide to use it to better effect, and offer you some tea. I'd offer some to the faeries too, but they seem quite preoccupied with themselves. If they want some, if my tea will help them get to their respective metaphorical mountains, they can find their way back in here, and be welcome.
