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.

I'd like to request a three-card draw, please.

For your past, the Seven of Pentacles. The figure in this image is a gardener who's done hard work, good work, and is taking a break. I'm not sure if the coins are meant to be flowers or fruit; perhaps the gardener isn't getting the expected result and needs to reevaluate the project, or perhaps the gardener is getting good results and there'll be fruit pie tonight. That's basically the message of this card: take a break to look at what you've done and enjoy the rewards or rethink your course of action. Which would be straightforward as a solitary card or in the present or future position in the spread, but in the past position I don't know what to do with it. Something to think about, anyway.

For your present, the Ten of Pentacles. Big happy family with money, is the image on the card. If that's not applicable to your present circumstances (damn economy), the other side of the card is convention, rules, established patterns. Taking it with the Seven of Pentacles, perhaps adherence to those patterns is the thing to reconsider.

For your future, the Two of Rods. Don't be afraid to be bold, to be creative, to put yourself forward. Every gamble carries the risk of losing, but you can't win if you don't play.

Thanks. I shot over a donation to you, but I'm not going to ask for a Celtic Cross reading in return; this gives me more than enough to dwell on right now. :)

Thank you! Hope the cards help.
