for entertainment purposes only: the inaugural tarot card draw

[alexseanchai]

alexseanchai, tarot reader, is opening for business.

Since I am new to doing this for other people, I am offering both one-card draws and three-card past-present-future draws for free, one free draw per customer, and I am sticking to my Hanson-Roberts deck—it's essentially the Rider-Waite except the art is prettier; that's the Hanson-Roberts Queen of Swords in my icon, and yes, sadly, all the people in the deck are white. I am also offering a second free draw (one card) to anyone who links me to their post advertising this, and a Celtic Cross ten-card spread to anyone who donates 5 USD via my Paypal button below.

Anonymous comments are screened and will remain so unless you say in the comment to unscreen it. If you want your card by PM instead of in a comment, tell me; if you want it by email instead of in a comment, I'll need your email.

The free draw is CLOSED.

Re: Three-card request!

Since I'm only using one deck, I need no further information, thank you.

For the past, the Devil. In Christian tradition, the source of all evil, but that's not the case in tarot. It's more like something's gone wrong. Something you didn't know and should have known or needed to know, or something you were focusing on to the exclusion of more important things, or a situation in which you felt trapped.

For the present, the Eight of Pentacles. The image is an artist at work; one presumes from the card's standard associations that the artist is mastering a new technique. Whatever you're working on now, it's something that needs your best effort; if you're not working on anything in particular, it's a good time to learn something new. In either case, don't let the details slip.

For the future, the Five of Pentacles. Real cheerful card, this; one figure is elderly, the other leaning on a crutch, and both wearing patched clothes and crying. In front of a church, in the snow. In short, this card is for hard times, which I hope you will not experience, but preparing for them never hurts.

Two of your three cards are Pentacles, which suggests a need to focus on practical matters. Not to cut out creativity, emotions, intellectual pursuits, or the grand drama of life, of course, but perhaps you need more attention on your day-to-day.

Thank you! The Devil in my past is especially apt.
