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: 2012-06-08 12:03 am (UTC)The Two of Swords is Peace, but this is an ominous sort of peace: a bride with two swords in the foreground, a gunslinger in the background. It's inverted, so I think this means the next few months will have some peace to them, but you may not recognize it as such, because you will be busy bracing for renewed strife. Make the most out of the tranquil moments: they won't last.
This is the deck's first Fool, a woman leaping off a cliff into the maw of a binary techno-world. See that little canine yapping at her? It's Yotee, telling her not to go, or maybe encouraging her to jump. She's inverted, so I don't think she's telling you to fall. Look at the card closely -- not the digital one, the printed one. She has wings. Butterfly wings. You'll get a chance to fly above the technical details of the modern world. Seize it! Don't let gravity drag you down.
The Nine of Cups is Happiness, a woman showing herself and a collection of carefully-arranged toys off. That's how your summer will end: happily. There'll be strife in the next few months, but it's going to settle some long-outstanding issues. By the end of summer, you'll have made something you'll want to show off -- maybe something you're a little embarrassed or shy about, like ponyart or soft porn, but something you'll be proud of nonetheless, something that makes you happy. Don't be afraid to exhibit it. It'll make other people happy too.
