New Moon Readings

wyld_dandelyonHello! 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.

Date: 2018-04-20 05:39 am (UTC)I'd be happy to welcome you into a warm spring, but the weather has been unseasonably like Alaska the last few days, and we have snow and ice here. There will be no pruning roses this April!
But come on in, we can have tea or plot together or paint or something. I have some washable markers for the guppy, if she wants to join us.
We get into the dining room and find them there, Laochan and Fairy Nuff, digging through the colored pencils and markers and tossing them about with abandon. "Look--green!" "No, let's use purple!" They compare the markers they've chosen. "How about both?" The short, portly guy with the pastel-smudged wings asks.
Laochan is already digging into the markers again. "I can't decide, they're all so pretty! Let's use all of them!"
"I don't think--"
"But I want to use them all!"
"Have you been talking to The Glanconer again?"
"I always talk to him. He helps me dream big!"
"Dreams are all very well and good, but The Glanconer is one of the tricksters. He shows you what you want to see, lets you get all dazzled by wonderfulness--"
The skinny faery is nodding, and joins in the last bit, "--and wh8le there's always something marvelous there, it's all covered with hopeful glamour."
The chubby one nods, setting his glowing antennae to bouncing. "The glamour isn't bad, but--"
"No, it's good! Like wine!"
"Yes, exactly like wine. It can cloud your judgement."
The skinny faery sighs. "But it's so much fun." Then he notices us and gets totally excited all over again. "Hey, Nuff--it's her! The coloring book artist! She's come to see us color her new book!"
The faeries somehow have a copy of Splendrix, and they call you over and ask your advice on coloring, forget to wait for your words and give each other advice, and help each other find the best colors. When they settle down a bit, they start to color a page together. "This might be too hard for us to do alone."
"Or at least less fun!" Laochan grins up at you. "Thanks for stopping by to lend a hand. We'll remember this forever! Let us know if you need help sometime."
You smile graciously--they're helping each other quite marvelously, and if some of the bits end up with the most unlikely color combinations, that doesn't make them any less beautiful.
