Weekly Tarot Reading

I got a new deck of cards! It's the Dune Bene Gesserit Tarot Deck, and time spent getting familiar with them has shown me these will be cards I want to use often. I created a reading a couple of years ago that is based on the Litany Against Fear, and I now have the perfect cards for doing that reading! I promise I will share it here, but we're just doing three cards today. 

These weekly readings are quick general readings to give something to focus on or think about for the week. If you want a personal reading, I have spots open. There are tarot, tarot and oracle cards, and dice divination readings for you to choose from. Readings are emailed to you as a detailed pdf report that walks you through my whole process. I can tell you now that I'll probably use the Dune deck often for the Life Journey reading. 

(Three tarot cards laid out in a row. From left to right: Five of Crysknives (Swords), The Fool, and Justice. The rest of the cards are face down in a nearby stack, and there's also a knitted drawstring bag that holds the cards when they aren't being used.)

There may be something that you have committed yourself to so fully, even though it's a fight you can't win, that it is now consuming you. It doesn't necessarily mean you committed to the wrong thing, but you may have committed yourself the wrong way. Maybe the only reason you "can't win" is that you've set unrealistic expectations for yourself that don't have to be requirements for success. 

What once looked like an important part of your journey may just be an obstacle now. Personally, I prefer a good plan over "trust the process", but sometimes trusting the process is necessary. You don't have to completely abandon your plan, but maybe it's time to reevaluate and make some changes. You won't get what you're seeking just because you wanted it so intensely. If what you're doing is a dead end, it's time to adjust course.

Forest Tales

I was getting ready to write about what I've been playing with recently when it comes to poetry, when I realized I'll have to do that some other time because I still haven't posted about Forest Tales !  (Cover of Forest Tales  by LK Nesse. A tunnel through a forest formed by trees. The title is in letters that have simple shapes with just a touch of fairy tale flair.) Super short summary: Six short stories that give glimpses of daily life in an enchanted forest. You can get it  here  or through  my ko-fi   in both epub and pdf formats. Summary too short? I'm happy to tell you more! I started writing these stories just for the sake of writing them, sharing them on a Substack I closed earlier this year. There was no planning or schedule for it. I think I only wrote three before I shut things down over there, and it took well over a year for me to do even that. Editing what I already had and adding to it was one of the first things I thought of whe...

A different way to use "Art Grimoire"

Image
I really wanted to work on my Art Grimoire map one day. I didn't want to do the normal rolling the d6 to find out which Mystery I would be working on. I just wanted to work on the map I already had going in my book.  So I did! (Fantasy map of an island drawn in a sketchbook. There are strange symbols in various place on the land and water, some forests and sea creatures, and places marked with warnings in red ink.) Maps are an easy thing to stay focused on while still seeing your sorcerer's sanity numbers go up and down. The cards, which raise and decrease sanity, are a big part of the prompts for maps. All I had to do was keep rolling the dice to find out which sections of the map to do and keep drawing cards to find out what I was doing.  To do this with other Mysteries, just make sure you remember to draw a card and see what it does to your sorcerer's sanity before you make another entry. You can go into things knowing you want to do an Herbalism entry, for e...

3 Card Tarot Reading Example

Sharing my writing is easier than sharing divination readings. I can tell you that my writing is available  on itchio  or through  my ko-fi  and you can go see what looks interesting to you. I can even share little bits and pieces of things now and then.  Divination? Well, I can tell you where to go to  request a reading . I don't share information about readings I do for clients, though, and each reading is unique. I can't share a piece of what you'll be getting the way I can with my writing. I can, however, give you an example so you'll have an idea of what to expect!  There are five options for readings, and I'm doing what I can to keep them as accessible as possible with the prices. Still, it's been a good stretch of years since the last time I was offering readings, social media has gone through a lot of changes, and not as many people know what to expect from me these days. Trust me, I understand how that can make someone question whether or not ...
