I have a sudden, sharp desire to get back into regular spellwork, and I am just. not set up for that right now. Not mentally or physically; I have no tool, no altar setup, nothing physical to work with, and my space is just... not clean and orderly enough to get into even a lightly ritual-esque headspace in. And this is my own fault, I've been trying to fix it for months, but it's really upsetting me for no good reason right now.
Ugh. On an only semi-related note, though, my mother and I are going to be vending at the Pagan Unity Festival in May. I'm going to be doing in-person Tarot readings for part of the time, which... I am currently not touching my cards often at all, and I've been really doubtful of myself lately. So! Would anyone like a one-card draw as I try to get my head in the game?
(I may do this a couple more times in the lead-up to PUF, too.)
Only three decks on offer this time; if you have a preference, let me know, otherwise I'll pick at random:
* Tarot Draconis
* Omegaland
* Linestrider
* Welcome to Night Vale tarot
4/15 UPDATE: Opening this to new people as I'm trying to go post to 2017revival today, but Omegaland is temporarily missing. Adding Night Vale instead since that's new. If anyone who asked before sees this and wants to change to NV before I do theirs/wants to ask for a second from Night Vale feel free, as we just got it and I need to get a handle on it.

Seven of Swords:
Visual descripton: A person walks away from figures in the distance, carrying five swords with two stuck in the ground behind them; shown here
Possibly tact, or possibly sneakiness and dishonesty. Somebody might be trying to get away with something, whether talking behind your back or taking something that's yours; or you may be the one who's trying to get away with things, in which case, consider your motives and whether it's worth the dishonesty at hand. On the other hand, there may be a situation that calls for some talking around the truth to get your way, in which case the cards could be advising some subterfuge.

Dissatisfaction, restlessness, boredom, frustration, sometimes even depression - this is a card about being displeased with the way of things around you at the moment. Sometimes it's a call to action -- break your ruts, try something new, open your eyes to what's around you -- and sometimes it's a sign to look inwards and figure out what's causing the problem, but it's time do something about it, because it's not a healthy place to be.

Visual description: A hand, facing out and holding up the first three fingers, in front of two crossed keys, and a bear in the background, all before a splash of purple; seen here
The Hierophant is often a card of teachers -- whether of being one or of finding one. It's also a card of tradition, of spiritual or religious thought, of intelligence and study, of convention and structured. Sometimes it represents a figure or organization in your life, and sometimes it might mean it's time to do some learning on your own.

Travel, new beginnings, leaving things behind. New ideas, new adventures. Journeys, whether external or internal. Change, and embracing what's ahead.

Court cards often represent a person; sometimes you, sometimes others. In this case, it would be somebody mature and intelligent, rational, a good communicator and clear thinker -- someone who might come off a little detached, but not necessarily to the point of coldness. If it doesn't represent a person already embodying those qualities, it might mean a period of time or a situation these qualities are necessary for you to try and rely on or build in yourself to get through.

New beginnings, learning, being open to things -- the feeling I'd get here is that the way to build community is not necessarily by pushing leadership or expertise, but by promoting sharing of questions and knowledge both. Look for new things, and when in the midst of them, look for both those willing to reach out, and others who are new and willing to share.

Friendship, unity, community -- this is a people card, and a positive one at that. Good people and good times are either here for you, or going to come into your life. They may be there to support you through things, or they may just be there to have a good time together.

Power, creative energy, the ability to shape and change things - the Magician is a card of having control and taking advantage of it. Achieving goals, getting things done, getting where you want to be, the Magician says you have the power, and you can do it. You might need to put in a little elbow grease, but what you're aiming for is within your power.

Date: 2017-04-22 08:20 pm (UTC)This is exactly what I needed. My tarot readings are finally turning around and letting me know that starting something new is the right choice. Staying where I am will only cause me to be stuck in a vad situation.
How did the PUF turn out?

Date: 2017-04-22 10:42 pm (UTC)I am so glad! I've actually been meaning to poke you and see how that's going, so I'm glad starting new seems to be doing you well. :D (I still need to email you back. And PM you I think. Ugh this year so far has been bad for communication.)
PUF is late May! I'm preparing for it slowly. XD I have a plan that should make readings both really fun and thematic to the campout, though, which is great.

Sometimes an adult male figure, or an authority figure of some kind. Rationality, communication, intelligence, detachment.
