May Tricks could you do me a favor? I was wondering if you could give me a general reading with the tarot. I liked the work you did with the sniper, and I feel like I'm presently in a rut, and thought a tarot reading might help me put things in perspective. That and the fact you've never actually met me makes me feel the tarot reading will be more effective. If you could do this for me I would really appreciate it, and will owe you a favor. That's how John Constantine got started ya know. People owing him favors. Thank you May Tricks.

Certainly Jack, why don't you PM me with some more detail? Much to my dismay, I am not psychic...Intuitive perhaps, but not psychic.

Is it hot in here?

I am Jack's filthy mind

1. Current Direction
The Moon: Open a can of worms? Dusty closet? Awake the ice-packed neanderthal of your mind? You may feel as if you have lost your way and are swimming in unchartered waters. (I believe there may be 2 woman involved here. One lead by her intellect and not her emotion. She is always keeping you at bay, thus, you desire her. The other is a love-sponge. She gushes with affection for you. This makes you feel good, but also makes you sick.) It is not relationships alone that are taking you down the twisted garden path, though. You wanted to go dammnit!

2. The Lesson
7 of Wands - Valour: So you may be having strange dreams, not sleeping well and your magickal life may be spilling over into *ahem* reality, but you have to know, you can keep it all together. If you have to concede, do so with honour and integrity and be gracious in victory. Forthright and honest. These things take courage and will see you through the labyrinth along with the courage to trust yourself, your intuition. There may be an issue with past lives...yadda, yadda...here.

3. Near Future
7 of Disks - Failure: You may not feel exactly the way you thought you would when you get to that sought after destination. You may have your sight on something else by then. Time for re-evaluating the situation and integrating what it is you have found out in this maze so far.

4. Long Term Objective
Knight of Swords: Ahh, this is it, this is what you want. YOu see Jack? THis is your brain on Barbelith.

5. WHat will help you attain your Objectives
2 of Cups - Love: Well, don't that beat all? I could go on here about loving mankind and loving yourself, but I won't.



Don't shoot the messenger!

Thank you May. This will take some time to interpret. Someone explain the knight of swords?

The Knight of Swords, for me at least, is about action and valour. In combination with a sword-heavy reading, it suggests a time of great turbulence and the need for decisiveness. It can also represent a person; I usually think of him as an opponent, but I have a very difficult relationship with swords in general - he coudl also be a very determined friend, whose actions are, regardless of their result, intended to help you.

The knight, whether personal or not, denotes struggle and the need for skill to overcome, with subsidiary feelings of strife - rage and ruin. In particular when inverted, it represents intemperate action, imprudence and indiscretion. Often, if the reversed knight appears in a reading largely covering another topic, it can mean that the querent has lost critical distance on the problem and in doing so has become part of it.

Very good Haus! I had always pegged you as a swordsman myself.

The Knight of Swords (I would just like to point out this is a Crowley deck and the Knight is the Yod rather than the Vau of the Court cards.) is also indicative of opportunity. During this tumultuous period, your ability to keep your cool is paramount. This sweeping force you may be feeling, is getting rid of superfulous attachments in order to make room for new opportunities. Do not be drawn into pettiness and loose your focus here. This is, after all, what you want. Do not blow this opportunity by inadvertently falling on your sword in a passionate rage. Take your time, do not let anything ruffle your feathers while you make your choices about what stays and what goes.

This combined with the last card of 2 of Cups, maybe a tad confusing. This is about tempering your ruthlessness with mercy. If you follow a path with heart, you should fare well. When I say "heart" I do not mean the apices and nadirs of emotional tumult either. I do mean that which is true to your will. This is your evolution, Jack. Do not allow yourself any capricious acts of whimsy, be precise and calculated, erring (if you must) on the side of mercy and the greater good. (Whatever that may be.)

The Moon is still in expansive Sagittarius for most of the day, but slips into serious Capricorn at 10:00 pm EST. We are riding on a power wave of change that draws its strength from basic survival instincts. We can make nice talk and be diplomatic, but we are playing for keeps. Meanwhile, spacey Neptune remains in the picture, throwing subtle curve balls that attract our attention from what is really happening, like a stage magician drawing our attention to one thing so we miss the real action.

Can I request a tarot reading from either May or Bear? I know Bear said he/she wants practice too! Let me know if I would need to PM the reader with details. Thanks! Hope everyone is well -- I've been reading the Magick a lot lately but not posting much; haven't had much time to post, just lurk. But you all are a great lot and I still am keeping in touch. Just yesterday I was walking down Lexington Avenue in NYC thinking "Man, did Warewulf find a good job yet?"

1. Current Direction
The Moon:
current direction is towards the occult - beware of insanity


(repeats again)

how about we start a new thread devoted to divination for everyone?

Yeah, count me in on the tarot reading bandwagon as well... sounds terribly interesting...

I'd be intrigued in a double blind of some sort and having Bear and May do readings for the same person to see how parallell the results are... But I am a Virgo, so I like doing these little experiments... I don't quite know how we'd set it up either....

New thread - good idea.

Luthor Blisset, who was the Moon reading directed towards?
