New Moon Readings

[wyld_dandelyon]

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.

The usual, and I've left a tip. This is not the proximate reason for the request, but it might give you some background.

And welcome back! I've missed you!

RE images

You need to upload them somewhere that allows hotlinking (that is, embedding images elsewhere) and then use an html img tag to display them in your post.

Good to see you! I was wondering what had happened.

Something different this time... I'd like to request a card(s... Patreon supporter) for my protagonist Fiona.

At this moment she is on the run with a small group of allies. She's seventeen, in over her head, reluctant caregiver for a little boy with too much magic for his own good, and in denial about her own shapeshifting ability. (This is her, for reference.) She's led the group to her homeworld to hide them from their pursuers, but she herself will be in plenty of trouble there if the wrong people discover she's back.

Problem is, one of the group was injured and taken to the settlement of those wrong people for healing. She has to get back in contact with him. The rest of the group don't understand why they can't just walk in there peaceably and ask after him.

I know how the scene ends - I'm in the editing phase now, not first draft, and patching up holes. It's violent and not good for her. But I've been struggling with how to get from point A to point B, and she has no idea what to do.

I'm thinking shapeshifter's deck, but open to suggestions if something else feels more right to you.

Welcome back! No card, just warm fuzzies.

Sympathies on the broken electronics. Much appreciation for your political work, and even more sympathy for how exhausting that is.

Welcome back!

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.

May I get a card for direction on this story? Thanks :)

I would love a card to meditate on through the rest of this wild month. Sending a tip via EMG. :)

I've got a question on a different issue, I just sent you $20, and I'll PM my question :)
