Free Tarot Card Draw!

[rowyn]

So, while I was in Seattle, I bought shatterstripes's Tarot of the Silicon Dawn, because it was very shiny.

I have no discernable psychic or precognitive abilities*, but the deck is very shiny, and I rather want to, you know. Do something with it. Other than leaf through the pretty pictures. And offering card readings is something people seem to do on LJ fairly often, so hey, why not?

So leave a question on this entry if you like, and I will draw a card or three from the deck and reference the short descriptions helpfully written by queenofstripes and provided in the deck's accompanying book. Based on these, I will give you a most-likely-not-very-useful response to your question. I will even link to the image of your card from shatterstripes's website. It'll be fun!

Edit: If you would like to ask for a question on behalf of a fictional character (like a character from a book you're writing, or a game you're playing), feel free! My fictitious psychic powers* will work just as well if not better on fictitious people, after all. :)

Edit the second: I should mention that this Tarot deck is NSFW: it has quite a bit of nudity, as well as kink and gender genderqueer. You are warned!

* No slight is intended here to people who take tarot readings seriously or find spiritual import in them! I am only making fun of myself, I promise. I do think that tarot cards can be interesting problem-solving or meditation tool, in terms of making one think about different angles or approaches, even absent any divinatory abilities. But I'm not even sure I do a good job at that, hence the disclaimers.

*laugh* I'm pretty sure *Black Griffon's answer is 'get written'.

I was thinking more "in the context of the story"-- their position is rather precarious and difficult ICly, and I could just see them asking for advice. Knowing that they could and would ignore it. n.n

But, for Terry!

I drew: the 2 of Wands, Inverted, the Chevalier of Pentacles, upright, and the <a href="http://egypt.urnash.com/albums/Illustration/6%20of%20Wands.jpg>6 of Wands</a>, inverted. The Chevalier of Pentacles is a daring explorer, a dragonrider and a fire-juggler, unafraid to offer up her wealth in the form of a proffered credit card. The two of Wands is also a traveller, but a more cautious one: she's choosing the path without the snake. The Six of Wands is a honeybee queen, doling out honey freely to her followers. Given that the last two are inverted, from all this I draw that you need to be daring! And bold! Don't be afraid to get out and do things, and spend money -- that's what it's there for! You don't need to be cautious or careful, and you shouldn't wait to be given the things you want -- go get 'em! And if I were to get away from the vague astrology stuff, I'd say this meant you ought to go to an MLP con, and seek a larger audience for your fiction. Or maybe you should just come visit me for a change. n__n (And no, this isn't what I'd've said if I'd answered your question without drawing cards first. :D )

Oh no! Things that require effort and fun!

You did say what you need to do! What you want to do would probably get a different answer. n.n

Here's a link to a local-to-you MLP con: http://everfreenw.com/

I was going to go to that one! But it's already sold out.

[rowyn]

Wow! I've never heard of a con selling out before. O.o. I mean, selling-out the hotel, yes. But not actually running out of con badges. D:

They have a tiny con space (max 500 attendees) and somehow managed to get every voice actor to commit to showing up.

They're actually going to be selling more/switching venues if you can get in this time! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/06/everfree-northwest-gets-bigger-venue.html

(One of my friends is involved in con organizing and posted this to Twitter.)
