rowynSo, while I was in Seattle, I bought ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 byqueenofstripes 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.

Date: 2012-06-04 02:41 am (UTC)For you, I drew: the Princess of Wands, the Ace of Pentacles, and < href="http://egypt.urnash.com/albums/Illustration/2%20of%20Cups.jpg">the Two of Cups, all upright.
The Princess of Wands is a dryad far above a planet, and either falling back to it, or being blown away from it. The text in the book talks about which it is -- is she leaving or returning? -- but I think what's important to your question is her joyful expression. It doesn't matter which way she's journeying: she's having a great time going there. So don't worry about where you're going right now; just enjoy the moment.
The Two of Cups is Love, a sort of four-armed satyr sharing drink with a naga who twines and rises around her. Choose your actions based on the spirit of love and generosity.
The Ace of Pentacles is a dancing elemental fire, with teeny salamanders exploding out from her body. I think she's reinforcing the message of the Princess of Wands: enjoy the moment. "Sufficient unto the day", as it were. Stop worrying about what's going to happen next, or what happened last. Act with love and enjoy the things that you're doing right now. Even when they're scary or tedious or just ordinary, see the good in them and savor it.
(And if you figure out how to do all that, tell me.) :)
