Dice Reading - Inspiration and Grounding

Image
I wanted to show everyone how the Platonic Solids reading from my book Roll for Divination ! works, but there's a lot of explanation for that one, and I don't think it would work well for these general readings. If you want a personal reading, I can do that one or readings with cards . You'll get a detailed pdf report emailed to you.  I can do a reading that draws inspiration from the Platonic Solids reading, though! And if you want to learn how to do that reading and the others I've been showing you this month, choose where you want to buy the book . We'll have one more week after this that I do a dice reading to celebrate the book having been out for one year!  In the Platonic Solids reading, each of the dice is a different shape and aligns with things like elements. I'm taking some inspiration from that and looking at d6 (Earth) as what can ground you, and d4 (Fire) as what can inspire and drive you. (A purple d6 landed on 4, and a purple d4 lande...

A Different Dice Reading

Image
We're on our third dice reading celebrating my book Roll for Divination! being out for a year! I'm doing a different type of reading than I've done the past couple of weeks, and it's also one I teach you how to do in the book. The book has much more in-depth explanations than I give in these quick weekly readings, and this will take you to all the available options for buying it .  We're looking at what a yes/no/maybe reading for the coming week. The focus is on success in what one is working on this week. These are general readings for advice, so I can't look at specific things that only apply to maybe one or two people.  We've got two d10s, one being percentile (10, 20, 30, etc instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) and having landed on 20, the other having landed on 2.  My first thought was, "It's a follow-up to last week's reading !" It already stood out last week that all three dice landed on 2, so it was a surprise to have it happen ...

Weekly Divination Reading

Image
We're still celebrating Roll for Divination! being out for one year by doing dice readings this month! If you want to get your own copy and learn my system for dice divination (which includes more than just the readings with three dice that I'm doing here), here are your options for where to buy my work.   I almost rolled the dice a second time today because this almost never happens! All three dice landing on 2?! I'm not one to draw cards or roll dice again when I don't like the results, though, so I'm reading them as they landed. The number 2 is about relationships. Not bigger groups, like your role in a community, but close, personal, one-on-one relationships. Even that can take many forms, though. That could be a romantic relationship, a parent-child relationship, or even a business relationship if we're looking at partners in a business who work closely and know each other well. If there's a situation you'd like to look at this as guidan...

Weekly reading with... dice?

Image
June is the anniversary of the release of my book Roll for Divination! , so I'll be replacing the weekly tarot readings with dice for a few weeks. This is one of the readings in the book. It's quick and simple, kind of like the three card readings, but you don't really need three dice to do it. I like seeing all three numbers together. I feel like I can get a deeper look at things that way. You could just roll one three times, though. Here's an explanation from the book of how this reading works: Why do I call this Hekate's Dice? It's because each of the dice has a context in the reading inspired by epithets of the Greek Titan Hekate. The first one is Dadophoros - Torchbearer. This is to shed light on the situation. What is a greater influence on the situation than may have been previously recognized? What needs more attention? The second is Kleidoukhos - Keeper of the Keys. What is needed to resolve the situation? This could be an action that needs to be taken...

Weekly Tarot Reading

Image
(Three cards from the Wildwood Tarot deck. The Wanderer (The Fool), Ace of Arrows (Swords), and Seven of Bows (Wands).) Starting something new can be exciting! It can also be intimidating, and sometimes we talk ourselves out of it before we really get going. It's easier to believe you would have failed, and that you saved yourself from wasted time and effort, than to admit you were scared. If you're looking at taking on something intimidating, look at what it will cost (not just with money) and what you'll gain. Make a plan. And be prepared for setting and enforcing boundaries. That may mean not letting other people into your space, or it may mean holding yourself accountable when it comes to sticking to the plan. This is a quick general reading. If you want a detailed personal reading emailed as a pdf, I have spots open for tarot, tarot and oracle cards, and dice divination readings .

Weekly Tarot Reading

Image
I'm using the Greenwood Tarot deck again, and the message for this week is very short and to the point.  (Three cards from the Greenwood Tarot deck. Queen of Bows (Wands), King of Stones (Pentacles), and Ace of Bows (Wands).) It's not enough just to have ideas for things. Follow the ideas that you have a passion for! Those are things you're likely to put the best work into, and that work raises the likelihood of success. This is a quick general reading. If you want a detailed personal reading emailed as a pdf, I have spots open for tarot, tarot and oracle cards, and dice divination readings .

Tarot, Poetry, and Viceversa

Image
No, there's not a second tarot reading this week. I haven't talked openly much about the tarot poetry collection I'm working on, other than to sometimes mention the fact that I'm working on it. I want to tell you about one of the card decks I'm looking at for inspiration.  "Inspiration" might not really be the best word. It's more like filtering and refining the inspiration. While the booklets that come with tarot decks often keep things confined to the keywords, that is just a starting point. I've been reading tarot for over 20 years. Trust me when I tell you each card has many stories to tell. I can't put it all in the poems, so using a few of my decks to focus on different ways the same card can be depicted helps me narrow things down and weave them together. Sidenote: I refuse to do the "I know, I know... I have too many decks!" thing. No, I don't. I have a bunch of decks! Each one serves me in different ways, though.  Some of...
