Buddy Daddies theory: The Major Arcana

Episode 10 had me thinking, the ferris wheel was a very prominent element in it, and we also see it twice in the opening, so the writers clearly meant for it to *mean* something.

Now, I love tarot cards and their symbolism/meanings, so ofc I thought of the "wheel of fortune" major arcana card.

Then it clicked.

The major arcana, also called "the fool's journey" each has major themes that (in my opinion) correlate to it's corresponding episode number.

– Episode 1: Piece of Cake/ the Magician, the 1st card

UPRIGHT: Manifestation, resourcefulness, power, inspired action

REVERSED: Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents

How it relates: Kazuki's resourcefulness, and also his poor planning. Also I thought the whole Santa/Rei hiding in a box looked like a magic trick.

– Episode 2: Kiss of Death/ The High Priestess

UPRIGHT: Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind

REVERSED: Secrets, disconnected from intuition, withdrawal and silence

How it relates: This card urges us to feel, rather than think. Also represents a secret (Miri)

– Episode 3: Spice of Life/ The Empress

UPRIGHT: Femininity, beauty, nature, nurturing, abundance

REVERSED: Creative block, dependence on others

How it relates: this is the episode where we meet Miri's mother, Misaki. The empress represents the maternal figure.

– Episode 4: What will be, Will be/ The Emperor

UPRIGHT: Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure

REVERSED: Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility

How it relates: This is the Episode where Kazuki forfeits documents to legally become Miri's guardian.

– Episode 5: Crunchtime/ The Hierophant (the Taurus card)

UPRIGHT: Spiritual wisdom, religious beliefs, conformity, tradition,institutions

REVERSED: Personal beliefs, freedom, challenging the status quo

How it relates: in this episode, Kazuki (a Taurus) worries about the family's finances. Taurus rules over the second house in astrology, which is the house of finances and material things.

In this episode we also see Kyu reminding them about their "tradition", their institution, the organization, and we also get a bit of a "wedding" imagery, whether they intended it or not.

– Episode 6: Love is Blind/ The Lovers

UPRIGHT: Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices

REVERSED: Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values

How it relates: "our genes!!" "Our *what*?"

Lol but really the whole episode is about love. Miri and Taiga, Kazuki and Rei, Miri's values being questioned.

– Episode 7: After Rain Comes Fair Weather/ The Chariot

UPRIGHT: Control, willpower, success, action, determination

REVERSED: Self-discipline, opposition, lack of direction

How it relates: this is Kazuki's backstory episode, very sad, his wife was killed bc of a car (two cars), and the chariot represents moving on forwards.

– Episode 8: Nothing seek, Nothing hide/ Strength (the Leo card)

UPRIGHT: Strength, courage, persuasion, influence, compassion

REVERSED: Inner strength, self-doubt, low energy, raw emotion

How it relates: well, it relates to Rei specifically, since it's his birthday, he's a Leo, and there's a lot of fighting, persuasion, self doubt and raw emotion.

– Episode 9: No Sweet without Sweat/ The Hermit

UPRIGHT: Soul-searching, introspection, being alone, inner guidance

REVERSED: Isolation, loneliness, withdrawal

How it relates: maybe it's bc Kazuki and Rei are isolated from their real world.

As The Hermit walks his path, the lamp lights his way – but it only illuminates his next few steps rather than the full journey. He must step forward to see where to go next, knowing that not everything will be revealed at once. In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind, The Hermit holds a long staff (a sign of his power and authority), which he uses to guide and balance him.

This reminds me of when Kazu, Rei, and Miri all ran towards the end goal of the race, to win the gold medal. They do not know how the rest of the journey will go. Only the next few steps.

– Episode 10: Lost at Sea/ Wheel of Fortune, the 10th card

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point

REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles

How it relates: the sudden turn of events. The ferris wheel. Leaving Miri to her destiny with her bio mother. Knowing that their destiny is to be alone, live in the shadows, and that they "weren't able to change"

Now what's left are three episodes, 11 (Justice), 12 (the Hanged Man), and 13 (Death, the Scorpio card, Miri's card)

Death doesn't need to mean actual death, it symbolizes change. If I'm gonna be optimistic, maybe they will be able to change by the end.

And if I'm gonna be really, REALLY optimistic, maybe last episode has an open end, and we'll have a second season, with ten episodes, to end the major arcana.

I guess I am done for tonight. Am I okay? No. Do I need help? Yes.

PAC 5 : MESSAGES FROM NATURE

Greetings. The 5th Pick-A-Card Mochi brings is a part of a series planned. They will be messages from the various persons/universe has for you.

The motifs for this series will be the Twelve Months in Japanese, split into four parts depicting the different seasons. The four seasons will represent the four different messages for you from people and things, and there will be three piles to pick from each season.

For this second part of the series, it would be Summer, bringing you the messages you need to hear from nature, what the sun wants to tell you; what the rain wants to tell you; what the breeze wants to tell you.

Remember, this is a general reading and I do not expect anyone to resonate with it completely. Take only whatever you need to hear, and leave the rest. Although I believe algorithms play a part in this, I also believe that if you feel a pull or a connection to this PAC, there may be a message in it for you.

Ground yourself, take a few deep breaths, and pick your pile.

This Pick A Card is solely for my entertainment purposes. Take only whatever you feel like it. If it doesn’t resonate, it’s okay to just drop it.

Decks used: Linestrider Tarot Deck, Luna Cat Tarot Deck (Major Arcana), Flower Petals Oracle Deck, Sweet Dreams Oracle Deck.

The piles go from left to right.

Found your pile? Let’s go!

Pile 1: Satsuki

Satsuki, or also known as Sanaetsuki, is the month of early-rice planting. I would like to associate this month as a month of growth, a month where you plant your seeds and work hard with the aim and goal of a bountiful harvest in the end.

The flower for this month is the wisteria flower. It bears different meanings according to its colour and culture, but generally it represents love, fertility, beauty, creativity. Lavender coloured wisteria could also mean delicateness, refinement, grace, and most of all, royalty.

For some reason, I’m reminded of the wisteria flower in Kimetsu-no-Yaiba (The Demon Slayer) anime. The wisteria flower is known to be poisonous to the demons, but bears no harm to humans. With this, it could also mean some form of purity and strength to some other people.

This was the first art I worked on and I had fun but also there’s some form of pain in it as well. Honestly speaking, all art in this series has driven me up the wall at some point, but this was probably the easiest to work with. It’s probably of the colours.

First of all, I’d like to address the fear y’all have been feeling, the sense of vulnerability y’all have been hiding and ignoring. No, ignoring them doesn’t change the fact that they’re still there. It’s alright to feel weak and afraid, it’s alright to search and ask for help. It sure isn’t easy to step out to ask for help when you’re so used to hiding in your own shell and pretending things are alright, but the warmth of someone else’s hands are strong and gentle to be able to guide you out from the conflict you have in your head. Your vulnerability is not your weakness, but your strength. By allowing yourself to be vulnerable, you possess a greater strength than many could imagine, and by doing so, you allow yourself to be exposed to the wisdom and beauty of the world, as well as honouring your inner grace.

The scales are not balanced, so it’s time for you to check if you’re doing yourself justice. Check if you’ve been spending too much time on other people and have been ignoring yourself. For some reason, the thought of you spending time on your crush or a very close friend, and ending up ignoring yourself appeared in my head. If this is you, you may need to take some time back and work yourself a little before you continue spending your energy on another person. Remember, you are your own priority, and no one else out there should be feeding on your energy.

When you think Fate is not on your side, remember it’s you who needs to turn the wheels and head towards the direction you want to go. You are your own Captain, you decide where you wanna go, may it be the nearest port or wanting to stay the night in the middle of the sea.

Now the next message may sound conflicting but I feel it’s necessary. Some of you may have been the authoritative Captain, or the Captain that has been taken advantage of. Either of it will still put a huge burden on you and will make you crumble, questioning yourself and your position. You are called to listen with care and speak with kindness. When it’s time for you to take pride in your works, take pride in them; when it’s time for you to step back; then take a step back. Being mature and reasonable is not easy, but this is a lesson you’ll need to learn. Your past and current friendships may have taught you this and you need to take them in.

By growing, only then you’ll be able to welcome abundance into your life, only then you’ll be able to challenge life again, because you have accepted the vulnerability as part of yourself, you have opened your heart to your faults and mistakes, and have learnt to grow. Your fears won’t disappear overnight, but that’s when the healing process starts and you’re more comfortable in letting your intentions be known to the people you care about.

Song recommendation: Turbulence by ATEEZ. This song came up when I was typing and I really had to pause typing things out cuz I felt this connection between this pile and the song.

Pile 2: Minazuki

Minazuki, the month of water, is the sixth month in the Japanese calendar. Water is usually needed for the rice fields, for the rice to grow well and feed the people. A month that makes me feel comfortable.

This pile gives me the feeling of dreams, sun, warmth and growth. There are three cards with Nine, and this itself already tells me that you’re on your way, close to achieving something already. It’s a time where you’re not thinking where to go, but how you wanna reach the path you’ve set.

You’ve been going through a lot of challenges. Somehow, for no reason, you find yourself being someone’s… Imaginative rival. It’s like someone doesn’t like you and often compares themselves to you, always wanting to win you in every possible manner and field. (I am hella close to saying that they’re kiasu af.) You tend to push them aside, as they definitely do not align with your values and purpose. But oftentimes, you continue to struggle. You are determined to not let them mess with you and your head, but there are times you will definitely feel overwhelmed, and of course, get defensive. Though I don’t see this defensive side of you in the open. It’s probably you ranting to your friends, or bottling them in you, or writing them down. In case no one has told you, remember that failure is not fatal. If anything, I think it’s telling you to take this time and retreat, check in on your own alignment, to cut away what’s not needed, clear out the weeds that are blocking your heart. Focus on wholeness, above and below. And in this case, focus on getting yourself whole again. You matter.

Hope is coming. Whenever shit gets bad, do be reminded that hope is there and things will get better. Sure, it can be difficult to believe that things will turn better when you’re deep in grief and pain, but hope will definitely shine on you. Do not let your fears eat you up, trust that things will be better and that there’s always a silver lining there. Manifesting would be a theme. Care for you now, care for you tomorrow, and life will present its gifts to you. Recognize your self worth and know that you’re doing well enough. And when an opportunity presents itself to you, go for it. Take that chance, take that jump. Remember that you manifest that chance, so go for it. That’s what you’ve been working and grinding for the entire while, so why pass it up? Once again, do not let your fears eat you up. Sure, the opportunity given to you may require you to do a bunch of changes and you’ll wonder if you can make it. And when that happens, remember that you came across this Pick A Pile and this pile is telling you that you’re good enough for whatever that’s offered to you. You can do it.

You’re a bright ray of sunshine, and sometimes you don’t see it yourself when you’re clouded by your own thoughts. Know that the rainy clouds are there only for a certain time, and you will dry up the tears of your beloved, giving them the hope and care they need. I wanna specifically mention that The Sun and The Star appeared. The sun’s also a star, since it shines on its own, so they can bear a similar energy. Just that one is visible during the day and one’s visible during the night. However, remember that they both are always existing to shine on Earth. This is you, your presence constantly lights up people’s lives. You may think you’ve not talked to a person for a long time and they may have forgotten about you, but no. You’re still on their minds. They may suddenly be reminded of something fun you said, or something warm you did. This, is you. You’re the sun, and it’s always brighter to have you there. Do not sell yourself short. Let go of self-criticism and the self-deprecating thoughts of yourself, be kind to yourself.

Dream. Dream big, dream wild. Life presents you opportunities via dreams at times, and use it to learn. Go to the places your dreams bring you, experience the wonders and the joys, relish and be delighted in it. You’ve been down for quite some time so let yourself lose, allow yourself to dream, and go on to tackle real life by making changes.

Pile 3: Fumizuki

Fumizuki is the month of erudition, great knowledge. And kikyo, Japanese bellflower generally means unchanging love, honesty and obedience. I’d like to see this love directed towards oneself, living a life obedient to their true hearts and remaining honest to themselves.

I felt cold and a bit lost when I started to shuffle for this pile, where I immediately turned on another smol light on my table (even when the lights in my room were enough). I could feel a gust of cold wind blowing towards me and when the cards fell out, I immediately went “Ah, that’s why.”

There’s a sense of stagnancy, it’s like you’re supposed to be on a journey, or you’re ALREADY on a journey. And yet, you have not really taken up the chance to do self-exploration. It’s like… You’re covering your eyes, unwilling to see the various possibilities and strength you have around you. The wind is gushing you, trying to blow away the blindfold covering your eyes. It’s urging you to see, urging you to set yourself free from the various self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, and to step out to go on the journey you’re supposed to go.

You may think that you’ve rested enough and should get moving. But the thing is, you’re not really well rested. Because of that, you’re still feeling sluggish and find it very difficult to start doing things. Breathe in, breathe out. Sleep, and allow yourself to transition the old you into the new life you’re supposed to go. You need to be well rested, only then you’ll have the strength, both physically and mentally, maybe even emotionally and spiritually too. Slowly, take a step, two steps, and get moving. The wind is your strength, your compass. It is blowing towards the direction you need to head, so go.

Sometimes you may feel that the world is against you, you think you’re still unfit for a lot of things, believing that people around you are delusional and are having unrealistic expectations for you. Treat yourself with kindness, listen to your heart, be reminded that you have what it takes.

Take that step with courage. You’re not alone. Be ready, know that the best is on its way. I know that many people around you have already said so, but you just… Find it difficult to convince yourself. You’re wishful, wanting and hoping something good will be coming to you. Take this reading as a sign. I’m telling you, that something much better than the “good” you hope for will be coming. Stay strong as you ride through the waves. I’m here for you. Do remember to drop by and let us know once the best have arrived, okay? Let us all be happy for you.

I have a feeling that relationships play a huge part for the people who chose this pile, may it be friendship, romantic relationship, familial relationships, corporate relationships, etc. I’m feeling more of romantic relationships and friendships. It’s most probably family may have disappointed you in some way or another, and that you find solace in friendship, thinking you’re unworthy of romantic relationships. Just to share a phrase I saw from one of my favourite web-novel, “Become a better person, improve yourself, and you’ll be surrounded by people who are equally excellent.” You’ll attract people who are as excellent as you, no worries! You’ve learnt the lessons life has taught you, so it’s great that you’re looking at opportunities, and that abundance will come to you.

Are you treating yourself right? Are the scales in your heart and mind balanced? For some reason, I believe this pile calls out to those who are very obviously not balanced, mind and heart. I have a feeling that your brain and heart have been fighting for a very long time. Probably something like a tug-a-war, where both sides fight to see who’s the strongest, but in the end, both end up tired and lethargic, and neither was cared for. It would be great if they can take turns to work things together, instead of both the heart and mind ended up being battered and couldn’t deal with anything anymore.

Remember to tune in to your emotions and intuitions, to not let your anger consume you. For some reason, some of you may have anger issues, and have sometimes been acting authoritarian. I have a feeling that y’all may have recognized that trait in you and yet y’all decided to not do anything about it. Remember to put in effort in acknowledging your emotions, to face them and do something about them if they affect your daily life.

For some unknown reason, I feel that… If you’re single, a person may come to you when you’re down? Yeah I’m having this feeling… Hmmm we’ll see.

#ceyrann #back with the PACs #just to let you know that i have this in mind for a very long time #i mean #it's an entire series that's planned #i've finished the readings for this so long #but have never published them cuz #i wanted to do the other one first lmAO #don't ask me why #feedbacks are very much appreciated #via rb comment or asks #idk sometimes i'm feeling very detached when i do readings recently #so yeah #hope y'all enjoy them

Tarot but DND

I'm working on adding tarot to dnd. The way it will work is I'll have 4 piles Swords, Cups, Wands, and Penticals. Each pile will have 5 major arcana mixed in with the fool and world being added to a randomly chosen set before being shuffled. At the start of a player's turn, they can announce they want to pull a card and from which pile. Effects happen immediately, the player can pull a card out of combat.

These are the effects I have for the Wands suit, the tarot set I'll be using is the same as in the arcana so Wands is dragon-themed.

1 Ace of swords; As you pull the card for a moment you can hear a god speaking to you. (you may ask the DM one question about the current situation, but their allowed to lie.)

2 of swords; Picking up the card the room is overwhelmed with a calming sensation, everyone must make a charisma or Wisdom saving throw with a disadvantage. (If failed, until attacked or an ally is attacked you cannot attack anything within the card's effect range. 30ft sphere around the player that pulled it.)

3 of swords; As you pull this card you’re struck with this feeling of heartache and loss. The deep-seated sadness clenches at your heart like being stabbed by three ice daggers. (For this turn and your next you have a disadvantage on attack and saving throws. This does not affect death-saving throws.)

4 of swords; Looking at the figure you could swear you saw it wink at you. (roll 4 d4 temporary HP)

5 of swords; As soon as you so much as touch this card let alone pull it you’re overwhelmed by the sensation to kill the nearest thing to you. Conflict calls to you. (you can either go into a rage and blindly attack the nearest person npc or player or make a Wisdom saving throw that has to beat a 15)

6 of swords; picking it up a random uncommon magical item appears in your backpack however, all your money is now gone.

7 of swords; As soon as you see the fiery background an illusion appears of whatever small to medium thing you were thinking of while drawing the card.

8 of swords; the tranquil colors of the card wash over you as you gain immunity from all damage until the start of your next turn.

9 of swords; Looking at the swords pointed at the head of the dragon you’re overwhelmed by all your nightmares and anxieties. Trying to shove it to the back of your mind you left with a soft sense of dread. (You have a disadvantage on Wisdom saving throw until the next short/long rest.)

10 of swords; (DM picks up to 10 random people to make a Dexterity saving throw, with the minimum of 4 creatures targeted. 1 = 10dc, 2 = 12 dc, etc 1d8 stabbing per sword if failed) Looking down at the figure impaled by swords on all sides you have mear moments to react as ten swords appear and stab into the ground. Disappearing a few moments later.

Page of swords; a determined dragon stars back at you wielding a sword. Moments later you sense something land right behind you. The silver Wyrmling that is shown on your card has arrived. (The Page of Swords is ambitious and restless, eager to take on new projects with enthusiasm.) LG

Knight of swords; A large black dragon takes flight mid-breath attack as swords rain down behind it. You can already sense the power from the card as wham a young black dragon charges up next to you careful not to necessarily hurt you or anyone as it looks around for combat and bloodshed. (The Knight of Swords cuts through all opposition, striking fast to the heart of the matter.) CE

Queen of swords; a pristine white dragon lays on the card carefully looking over her sword as the air grows colder. It starts with a shadow and before anyone can react a large adult white dragon lands nearby quietly looking down at the party, like you’re some annoying ants at her picnic but makes no move to attack. (The Queen of Swords carefully orchestrates her plans, taking every variable into account.) CE

King of swords; even just looking at the card you can sense the electric energy coming from it. Pulsating with raw power. Make a Dex saving throw with advantage (dc 5) as a giant ancient blue dragon lands nearby, his wings spread out in a show of just how big he is. Lighting crackles harmlessly around his scales as he lets out a deep growl looking over the situation, but makes no other move to attack. (The King of Swords holds complete authority over the mind, using logic to accomplish his goals.) LE

Important note the Page - King will NOT attack the players unless provoked.

The page being rash and hasty will rush into combat against whoever is attacking the party or will look around keeping an eye out if outside of combat.

The knight craves combat and will rush in guns blazing. If there is no combat they will attack anyone nearby, a city, village, that NPC the party is supposed to be protecting. The knight only cares for combat and violence.

The queen is cold and calculated. If she doesn't think she can win or theirs no combat she'll leave. Unless specifically asked to help with something in which case she will think about it. Probably good to offer her something in exchange.

The king takes no bull when summoned. If you're in combat he'll help if he can win or not. However, if you're by a village or city he might try and take over it for his own domain as long as it's not claimed by a dragon already.

If attacked the Page is the most forgiving the other three will immediately become hostile to whatever tries to hit them. Even if they did 0 damage.

They'll leave either after combat or if out of combat in 2 d20 minutes.

As for the Major Arcana so far I only have the fool and the magician but for the major Arcana, the player has to roll a d20. 1-10 reversed and only bad things will happen, 11-20 pass and only good things will happen.

The fool;

Upright - You feel magic pulsing through your very being like you have the power to be anything to do anything, you just need to say the word. (You’ve gained a wish)

Reversed - You can feel yourself begin being absorbed by the card. Throwing it away quickly you’ve gained -1 to three abilities of your choice

The magician;

Upright - a rare magic item of your choice appears on top of the card you’re holding.

Reversed - No matter your class until your next long rest any spell has the chance to become wild. (1-9 the spell goes wild)

Queen of Cups ~ Deck of the Bastard Tarot

. Deck of the Bastard Tarot The most successful and balanced of the Cups, in some ways of all the Minor cards, the Queen is almost a mundane version of the World Dancer. Coming between the outer responsibility of the King and the passiveness of the Knight, she shows the possibility of blending imagination and action, creativity and social usefulness. Her throne, decorated with cherubic mermaids, sits on land, indicating her vital connection to the outer world and to other people, at connection more real than the King's. At the same time the water flows over her feet and merges with her dress, signifying the unity of self with emotion and imagination. The water suggests also unconscious forces – the underlying spiritual patterns shown in the Major Arcana – nourishing conscious life. The unity of water, land, and the Queen implies that we do not feed the imagination by giving it complete freedom to wander where it will, but rather by directing it into valuable activity, an idea that most artists would endorse. This idea appears even more strongly in the Nine of Pentacles, emblem of creative discipline. Waite describes the cup she holds as her own creation. It is the most elaborate of the Cups (whatever we may think about its style!) and symbolizes the achievement brought about through using the imagination. Notice its church-like shape. Until the modern age (and still in more archaic cultures) all art expressed and glorified spiritual experience. The Queen stares at the cup intently, showing the strong will that directs and moulds creative force without suppressing it. At the same time her look suggests that the creative person derives inspiration for future activity from her or his past achievements. Compare her fierce gaze with the dreaminess of the Knight, or the cloudy fantasies of the Seven. Willpower alone will not unite imagination and action. Only love can give meaning to her actions, and realize her goals. These goals are not simply creative in the narrow sense of art, but in the wider sense of making something whole and alive out of the opportunities and elements given by life. They can include emotional goals, especially family, for while the King symbolizes society, the Queen symbolizes the family, for men as well as women. What is most important is that she joins consciousness to feeling. She knows what she wants and will take the steps necessary to get it. Yet she acts always with an awareness of love. Waite says ‘loving intelligence and hence the gift of vision’, terms suggesting that a vision of life as joyful can only come as a gift, but love can open us to receiving such a gift, to recognizing that it exists. With intelligence joined to love we return the gift by taking that vision and making something real and lasting from it. Rachel Pollock. 78 Degrees of Wisdom The Queen of Cups is another “perfect” court card. She is Water of Water, exemplifying the breadth and openness of this element. A body of water can receive rain and snow and mist; it can incorporate minerals and microorganisms, absorbing whatever comes yet remaining one ocean, river, lake. At the same time, although water flows as one body, it invariably encompasses countless currents and eddies. Thus we talk about exploring “the waters” (plural) of a given ocean or diving into “the deeps” (again, plural). In Hebrew, the word for water is always implicitly plural: mayim. We understand this Queen better when we realize that she too is always at least implicitly more than herself, more than just one person. Just as water is always “the waters,” so does she embody the heart of a whole community. In short, she bears a boundless heart of gratitude. “Gratitude is confidence in life itself,” writes Jack Kornfield. “Gratitude receives in wonder the myriad offerings of rain and sunlight, the care that supports every single life.” 82 Water of Water, the Queen of Cups lives a life of gratitude. She is open and clear and startlingly present. Her confidence makes her fierce in love because she knows nothing will be lost if she gives her heart. And if sometimes she seems a bit quiet, it’s only because she is waiting for you to speak. She knows how to take her turn, and how to encourage you to live your truth. She brings out the best in others. Yet sometimes she does so to her own or the community’s detriment. Her clear waters run deep, and her gifts are often exactly what the moment requires. Don’t mistake her silence for fear or shyness. Ask her what she thinks, and prepare to listen. Lisa Freinkel Tishman. Mindful Tarot.

Learn with me! 📖Major Arcana - XIV The Temperance (Witches Tarot)

“The Greek Goddess of the rainbow - Iris, faces forward and stands at the edge of the water, her golden wings outstreched. Her sheer white gown has a golden triangle on the bodice, which signifies balance and creativity. Her gwn flows softly around her, and one of Iris’s feet is on land while the other dips in the water, Neither on shore nor in the water, she is in an enchanted location where she is in both worlds - an inbetween place. “

This Major Arcana represents the blending of different mystical elements to create something new, just as rain and sun make a rainbow. The Temperance also represents the personal alchemy of spiritual transformation. Now is the time to focus on healing your spiritual self. This is the perfect opportunity to find the right balance or “flow” in your magic and life. Observe the messages from the gods.

The Temperance card is connected to flow states, where time seems to extend or stand still. It’s a sensation of everything feeling easy and effortless. Those who engage in creative activities such as painting, drawing, or dancing often experience states of flow. It can also occur when you embrace your natural working pace and rhythm. Part of the creative process requires you to figure things out as you go. Have faith in yourself and your abilities. You don’t have to know everything right now. Trust that you can get the knowledge you need as you go. Things don’t have to be perfect right now for you to start.

Temperance Witches Tarot is a card about balance, in many forms, and about all types of relationships – friendship, family, love, and colleagues, all your concern needs. This is also a card about special powers (alchemy) or mix and match. You may have to try several different approaches to things before you find what works for you.

Meanings:

+alchemy, moderation, restraint, find your balance, look for divine messages, spiritual healing and transformation, flow, harmony.

Reversed:

-addiction, out of balance, unruly

THE MAGICIAN - i've always taken this card to mean that you already have everything you need, it is just up to you to actually do something; in the same vein, you have everything you need at the start of rain world. unlike a metroidvania, there are no upgrades earned mid-campaign. it's just you, and eight buttons.

[design notes under the cut]

this card is meant to look like survivor at the very start of their campaign, with all the main things needed to progress and survive in rain world - food (batfly and bluefruit, the most common foods found in campaigns) and weapons/defence (rubbish and a spear). again its meant to convey that 'everything you need is within you' energy (<- reference to the minecraft end poem) and the idea that despite its similarities to metroidvania games its really not one (metroidvanias are largely defined by the 'get movement/ability upgrade, kill boss' style gameplay loop. in contrast in rain world('s base game) upgrades are either visiting echoes or visiting pebbles and have nothing to do with ability or movement upgrades unless you count the campaigns itself and their difference in slugcats.)

other design notes: -ive finally figured out scug anatomy! i dont know why it took me so long to finally settle on how slugcat anatomy works but i did in this piece. -the rubble was intentionally chosen those three are my favorite rubble types hell yeah brick :DD -again the background is survivor (and monks) starting room in outskirts. to reference its in outskirts (and to reference that one map in the miraheze wiki that puts all the region maps together) i put a slight tealish green blue gradient over the whole piece. -it wasnt intentional totally intentional but the spear is referencing the actual magician tarot card which always seems to hold either a candle or some other manner of stick -very intentionally does not have the survivor sigil on top. this is to reference the fact that number one you do not have it at the start and number two the like. forty cycles it took for me to get it the first time i played rain world (im pretty sure i only got it after receiving the pebbles karma upgrade)

Hiiiii it’s your favorite stalk- I mean person! I hope I’m doing this right, may I please request a general tarot reading for success? Sometimes I feel like my dreams are too big and I’m too old to start out

ksfhsjdskd hi darl!! Hope this helps!

tarot cards: ace of pentacles, ace of swords, the world, seven of wands, eight of cups, king of swords, nine of pentacles, six of pentacles, knight of pentacles, the star.

Okay lets get into it.

You said in your ask that sometimes it feels like your dreams are too big to go after and that you’re too old to start. Well, I think these first two cards - the ace of pentacles and the 8 of cups - are talking about that exact sentiment. The ace of pentacles is a great card to start with. The aces represent the beginning of something and pentacles are the suit mostly closely connected with finances, careers, all that sort of tangible down to earth stuff. But it’s being clarified by the 8 of cups which symbolises walking away from something. These cards are the temptation to give up before you’ve really begun.

But, beside them we have the ace of swords clarified by the king of swords and the knight of pentacles. Another ace, another opportunity. As a suit swords are related to the mind and what it can do. The ace of swords is the “breakthrough” card. It’s saying you still have a chance to make whatever your dream is happen. The Kings are the oldest of the court cards and the king of swords specifically is symbolic of authority, truth, and clear thinking. This card is a reminder that age and experience aren’t bad things. In fact they can be very useful things. The king of swords uses his head over his heart. He deals in facts not feelings. However you might feel about the situation, this king is a reminder that you don’t need to let your age or anything else hold you back from embracing the opportunity the ace indicates. And the knight of pentacles...like most of the pentacles cards he revolves around work, effort and responsibility. He’s patient and hard working and dutiful and that is the energy you need to bring to this opportunity. You will not reach your goals overnight but the knight of pentacles is here to tell you that any progress is good progress, no matter how small it may seem. If you have a chance to start on the road towards achieving your goal (as the ace of swords indicates you will) then you should grab it by both hands. Go after it with the confidence of the king and with the hard working ethos of the knight and you’ll be well on your way to making it happen.

Next we have The World and the nine of pentacles. I can sum up both of these cards in one word: Achievement. The World is the last of the major arcana cards and as such represents completion, fulfilment and achievement. The nine of pentacles is about the fruits of your labour, rewards and success. You’ve been through the ups and downs of the journey described in the tarot cards, you’ve put in the time and effort and now it’s paying off. This is the success you’re aiming for. This is the outcome of going after what you want and taking every opportunity you can.

So those three sets of cards seem to be describing the past/present/future (or thereabouts) of your story of success. But what of the last three cards? What of the seven of wands, six of pentacles, and The Star? I think these cards are sort of general advice. Things to remember on your journey.

The seven of wands is a card of conflict. Traditionally it depicts a man holding a staff, fighting off 6 other staffs pointing at him from below. It represents perseverance, defensiveness and maintaining your position. This isn’t conflict related to starting a project or beginning something new. This is the sort of conflict that happens as you work towards completion. It could come in the form of other people encouraging you to give up or being in competition with you or just making things harder for you, it could also be setbacks you experience or moments when you don’t feel you can keep going. But the seven of wands is an encouragement to stand your ground and remain dedicated to your goal so you can overcome whatever challenges you face.

The six of pentacles is about generosity, charity and sharing. It’s a reminder to be generous in both times of prosperity and hardship. This can be generosity in a financial sense - donating money or material possessions to someone - or generosity of spirit, mind, time, etc etc etc. It could also be an indication that someone will be generous to you - perhaps someone in a position of power will offer you help or guidance, or maybe it’s that you’ll have a friend on a similar path you can share resources or knowledge with.

And finally, The Star. This is a card of hope. It’s a promising sign of great opportunities approaching. It’s also about keeping the faith. Even if things seems hopeless or unachievable, this card says that as long as you believe and are willing to try, success will be possible.

I also pulled a few oracle cards.

From the Artists Oracle: Buckminster Fuller. The cards in this deck give the querent 3 pieces of advice for three aspects of life - Life, Work and Inspiration. I’ll type out all three but it may be that not all of them relate to the situation, so take what resonates for you and ignore what doesn’t.

So, Buckminster Fuller - an architect, inventor, author, and designer - says: Live to serve, serve to solve. / Invent the words by which to live your life. / Great heights are best seen from your lowest point. To me, just from the cards I’ve pulled, that last one seems to fit quite closely with the messages we’ve been getting. Now is the time to start working towards your goals. Right now when it doesn’t feel possible.

From the Spellcasting deck: Confidence. A lack of confidence will keep you from living your life to the full. Trust in your own gifts and abilities, turn away from your inner critic, and stop comparing yourself or your progress to that of others. You can do it!

From the Green Witch oracle: Tomato (Love) and Thyme (Courage). I think courage speaks for itself really - It connects with the confident and courageous energy of that king of swords. Love on the other hand seemed a little out of place, so I looked it up in the guide book that came with the deck and I found something interesting. First of all it says “Tomatoes will inspire and ignite love into your life of all types and on all levels. Alignment is signified, as are chances for an increase in assets. Plans are liable to change, and you should be ready for adaptation in this and other areas. Be careful to communicate effectively with your partner and close friends.” So i think the ~plans are liable to change~ part ties in with that 7 of wands/6 of pentacles/the star energy which talked about standing your ground and holding onto hope and being generous/kind even when you feel like things arent going great. The guidebook also says that the magical uses of tomatoes are related to love, protection and prosperity, so it definitely fits more with your question that I initially thought BUT the other interesting part is that each plant in the guidebook has a magic spell you can cast using that plant. And the one for tomato is this:

Attract money into your home or business with this simple spell.

Place a perfect green tomato in a green bowl and set it on a shelf. Shower it gently with gold coins and say, “Money, rain upon us now.” Set a green candle on either side of the bowel and light them. Leave the candles until they burn out and eat the tomato when it is ripe.

Idk how into witchcraft/spellwork you are but if that is your jam this could be of use! I’m not sure if that was a misprint or something because it was labelled a love spell but there we have it! Very interesting!

Next we have a card from the Prism oracle: Abundance. Green cards in this deck signify an opportunity for renewal, be it through gratitude for abundance, movement on a new project, or rest. The abundance card specifically asks you to recognise and celebrate the abundance in your life. It also says that while the card depicts coins, it doesn’t have to mean financial abundance. It could relate to love, friendship, career, or in your case, success. It’s definitely a good sign that things can go the way you hope!

And last but not least I also pulled a card from the Making Magik deck. Each of these cards depicts a magic symbol or sygil and you got the Triple Moon - Embracing all aspects of yourself; the divine and the earthly.

#card readings #hoo boy this was a long one!#gonna have a lil break for dinner before i do the next ones!!

Divination with DnD Dice

There seemed to be enough interest in the DnD Dice Divination system that I decided to go ahead and write it up. I couldn’t fit it all on here though so I might be making more posts in the future about it. I’ve included the most important stuff here to get started.

I’ve included a zine to download and print off if you want to take it with you. I actually recommend the zine, it’s a better format than what tumblr would let me put together.

Please consider tipping me and definitely credit me where you can.

I know there are other systems out there and I don’t have a monopoly on dice divination but this guide did take a lot of time to put together and is built on my own collection of frameworks, meanings.

Dice sets can be picked up for cheaper than most basic tarot decks making the barrier to entry lower. My goal was to create a system that could get a similar level of complexity of information to tarot and oracle cards. I found in test readings, I could get roughly the same as I would get from a four card reading. So it’s a good start!

It’s my mission to make divination more accessible, tipping me helps me devote more time to this.

Zine: https://www.scribd.com/document/380692727/Divination-With-DnD-Dice

If Scribd gives you trouble try here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/21613135

Read description for printing directions or it might not come out right.

If you can’t print it off, the same information is included below the cut.

Hope someone finds this useful!

D4 - Element

1 - Air - Mental, Academic, Communication, Anxiety

2 - Fire - Spirituality, Passion, Ideals, Anger

3 - Water - Emotional, Romantic, Connection, Depression/Sadness

4 - Earth - Physical, Material, Home, Emotional Block

I use the Element dice to give an indication for the area of life the reading pertains the most too. I look for indications with other dice as to what the element dice might be speaking to more specifically, but it gives me a place to start.

D6 - Problem

1 - Plot - drama, conflict, things outside of your control, change

2 - Character - another person is blocking/causing problems, fixation on a person, possibly even loss of a person

3 - Thought - paradigms getting in the way, not in touch with reality, judgmental, fear/anxiety, getting stuck in your head

4 - Diction - how a person talks is causing problems, speaking too much/too little, passive aggression, divisive or hateful language

5 - Song - Harmony with another, being out of sync with oneself or another, learning to join the choir/group, teamwork

6 - Spectacle - Things seem worse than they actually are, petty fights, aesthetic/surface level changes, playing with how things are perceived to achieve an outcome

The Problem dice is based on Aristotle's Six Elements of Tragedy, a dramatic and literary analytical framework. I use this to see what might be the at the crux of the problem in the area the Element dice indicated. The Action Needed dice can also refine the Problem.

D8 - Action Needed

1 - Right View - seeing the situation for what it truly is, actions have consequences, material reality, paradigm shift

2 - Right Resolve - being intentional, recommitting, choosing what is right, dedication and ambition

3 - Right Speech - be honest/don't lie, don't be passive aggressive/be forthright, speak compassionately and for the benefit of others.

4 - Right Action - don't harm others, act compassionately and for the benefit of others, take positive action

5 - Right Livelihood - don't profit from harming others, long term commitment to benefiting others, take only what you need and give what you do not, ethical employment

6 - Right Effort - Exert influence on your environment to cultivate a better internal world, set strong boundaries, avoid negative influences and seek out positive ones, "just do the thing"

7 - Right Mindfulness - Don't make things out to be more than they are, see them for what they are, know life is in transition, don't define the self by these external transitory states

8 - Right Concentration - unification of the mind/body, unlocking higher levels of thinking and feeling and operating, don't let desire for what might be get in the way of what is, healthy detachment

The Action Needed dice is based on the Eightfold Path of Buddhism. While the particulars of the path vary by the different schools/traditions, these seem to be the most common English translations. This dice is usually pretty straight forward, especially when taken in consideration with the rest of the dice.

2D10 - Difficulty

Pretty self-explanatory. The higher the difficulty, the longer the process will take. Gives an indication about how important or long term the reading will be.

D12 - Time

The number can refer to a month of the year which you may have your own associations you can pull from or classify into a season and pull meanings from that. I use the seasonal method most often.

Winter - focus on the self, rest, restore yourself, weather the storm, be the light the world isn't giving you, inner strength

Spring - new beginnings, plant seeds, the rain and the storms lead to new growth

Summer - wait to harvest, find shade, relax

Fall - harvest, make preparations for winter, celebrate accomplishments.

You can also think of what sabbat is in that month and the lessons inherent in that holiday. It can also be time of day.

9-5 - Work related, stress, out of your control

5-12 - Free time, friends and family, hobbies

12-9 - rest, dream, restore yourself

AM if there are more even than odd numbers and PM if there more odd than even. You can also take the month and the time to be literal if the reading calls for it.

D20 - Lesson

1 - The Magician - jack of all trades, master of none, experiment, unfocused, learning, skilled but unrefined, beginning

2 - The High Priestess - balance, intuition, insight, between worlds, lessons learned while solitary

3 - The Empress - growing, flowering, creativity, taking what you have and making it thrive, thriving where you're planted

4 - The Emperor - expand, leader, confidence, step up and create the life you want/need, protect what/who you have

5 - The Hierophant - balance between material and spiritual, lessons learned from teachers, benevolence, structure

6 - The Lovers - connection, union, positive outlook, nostalgia, romanticism, love given freely

7 - The Chariot - power, confidence, leadership through passion/emotional intelligence, decisive action

8 - Strength - rely on internal direction/sense of self, internal strength and peace, resilience

9 - The Hermit - internal knowledge and discovery, minimalism, truth is inside you, you are capable on your own

10 - The Wheel of Fortune - things are outside of your control, this too shall pass, ebb and flow of fortune, reversal of luck

11 - Justice - objective truth, standing by/doing what is right, lawful good, cutting ties with deceivers, protect the community

12 - The Hanged Man - Insight, understanding impermanence, sudden realization, enlightenment, major paradigm shift

13 - Death - the old makes way for the new, the cycle of life, we all die in the end, reinvention

14 - Temperance - spiritual balance, abstaining from negative influences, taking responsibility for one's internal well being

15 - The Devil - materialism as bondage, enjoy pleasure without becoming victim to it, pleasure seeking as escapism

16 - The Tower - being shaken to the core, foundations pulled up, self of self overturned, ego shaken

17 - The Star - uneasy hope, possibilities, leaving and traveling, opportunities somewhere else, dare to dream

18 - The Moon - deception, things aren't always what they appear, intentions and actions do not line up, reflect, see the true nature of things

19 - The Sun - relax and enjoy your accomplishments, celebrate with friends and family, share your abundance, revel in joy

20 - Judgment - shine a light on everything, be honest, be critical and fair, lay firm boundaries, take up the old and make it new

The lesson dice is there to indicate what can be learned from the situation. Every situation is an opportunity to grow and evolve. It's based on the framework of the Major Arcana as teachers and posits that every situation can likewise be a teacher to us all. This dice can help refine the problem dice as well. It can be hard to keep this dice from getting preachy so make sure to be honest about what this dice is saying but temper it so as not to be patronizing.

Putting the Reading Together

Like all divination, the goal is to look for patterns and craft those patterns into coherent themes. Like reading a novel, you’re reading between the lines to make the reading more useable than the raw info the dice turn up. An example of my notes for a reading are:

D4 - Element: 2 - Fire

D6 - Problem: 3 - Thought

D8 - Action Needed: 3 - Right Speech

D10 - Importance: 51 - Middle

D12 - Time: Evening/Summer

D20 - Lesson: 8 – Strength

This is the reading I gave:

“The reading suggests there’s some conflict stemming from letting passion overtake reason in your interactions with others. You believe very passionately in your ideals, but how you talk about them to others looks like it’s causing tension. This seems like it will be of moderate difficulty to grapple with, not easy but by far not the hardest thing you’ve dealt with. The reading suggests being mindful of your words and advises to concentrate on your inner power rather than seeking validation for your ideas from others. “

When pulling together a reading you want to look for conflict, strengths, and resolution.

There was a lot of fire (passion) and air (communication) in this reading, while they work great in harmony, they can really hurt the user when out of balance so that was the conflict. Passion is a beautiful thing even when it’s not in alignment and I didn’t want the reader to think their ideals were the problem since the rest of the reading pointed out their words so their passion was their strength. The resolution lay in relying on their own internal strength for validation rather than others, that that would lead to better communication and less conflict overall.

I’m still learning myself. It takes practice so don’t give up!

I hope this was helpful! Please let me know how this works for you. I’m totally open to people changing it to fit them better but I wanted to provide a model for how this could be done. I also got some really solid readings out of it. So it definitely has potential.

Temperance ~ Wheel of Change Tarot

Water and Fire, Rain and Sun, Blood and Milk Are Brought Together Temperance is a card of magic. In the Thoth Tarot (Aleister Crowley’s deck) this card was renamed Art, to clarify this meaning and to separate it from the commonplace meaning of the word temperance. The magic the card speaks of is the simple magic of everyday life that we perform in every action. It is the magic of combining two opposite materials in order to create something new. When we eat we combine the food with our bodies through the action of eating. When we read we integrate the information in the written word with our mind. When we converse with our friends our lives are entwined through our emotional understanding. In the card this combining of opposites is shown in many ways. First, the opposing fire and water are poured from the hands of the Goddess and intermingle under her feet. It is the relationship between the fiery sun and the watery earth that creates the life of the planet. Water, usually associated with the moon, here flows from a bowl made from the sun’s metal, gold. The solar fire drops also from its bowl of silver, the moon’s metal. In itself, this represents the combining of opposites and symbolizes the magical properties of containment. Containment provides us the opportunity to recognize something as unique and to separate it from its surroundings, making it available for practical use. Once in a bowl, a material may again be combined—through magic—with other things, and we can make more magic—bread, cookies, clay, whatever. From the breasts of the Goddess flow the fluids of life: blood and milk. Their combination in the large vessel symbolizes the greatest creation we participate in: the making of a new life. In the sexual act, as the woman and the man come together with the essence of the magic of opposites, his part and hers are merged. Then the magical recombinant DNA goes to work inside the woman, to be nourished first with her blood and then with her milk, as a new and separate life grows free and learns to make its own independent decisions and in turn its own magic. The vessel is the physical representation of the magical containment of the elements that allow us to act upon them, permitting growth and change, as the womb protects and contains the fetus as it grows and the bowl allows the bread dough to rise. The circle in which the Temperance goddess stands illustrates the special place where the magic of the natural world is visible. The intermingling of the elements of sun and rainwater create the magic of the rainbow, present only when the two elements are actually observed together. Even when they are not seen together, their interplay over time provides the nourishment that supports the grass and trees whose growth is the action that combines the sun and rain, made visible on the material plane. The mystical meaning of the Temperance card is contained in the simple magic of action. The card symbolizes the apex of the Magical Triangle, a precept in most mystical texts, which represents the combination of two things, represented by the two bottom points of the triangle, while at the apex is the action that mixes them (see the appendix). Of course, the real magic is the result of the action, symbolized by a dot or arrow emanating from the center of the triangle. Temperance, however, symbolizes the active part of the triangular relationship. It is one of two cards that represent the Magical Triangle; the other card, which represents the bottom points of the triangle, is the Lovers. Aleister Crowley, in his book on the Tarot, says, “This card [Art] is the complement and fulfillment of Atu IV, Gemini [The Lovers].” He also states that these two cards are the “most obscure and difficult” of the Major Arcana.32 The difficulty they represent is the most fundamental teaching of magic, which is that the world and all we know and see is governed by the relationships expressed in the Magical Triangle. What develops from this knowledge is the certainty that all things are linked together in a series of these symbolic triangles and that this is the fabric of the world. If we are all linked in such a way, then it follows that any notion of god as ultimately separate and distant from us must be a symptom of our dualistic notions of the world, and that any true God must be one with us and within all of us. Δ When Temperance appears in a reading, it is a symbol of the magic you experience in your life. Temperance is a card of integration; it points to the action required to actually create something new. You must be willing to stand like the goddess in this card, who physically combines the opposites, and like her you must take action. This action will place you in direct relationship with what has appeared to be separate and outside of you until now. Through the action of this important card you will find yourself involved in the dynamic part of this new relationship. The other important symbol of the Temperance card is the vessel where the combining takes place. Part of your job is to create a symbolic bowl, a space, so that the action you must take will be nurtured and will create the desired result—the point inside the triangle—just as a pregnant woman must clean her body by eating healthy food and must stop drinking or smoking in order for the child to grow in health. This is a magical and special card; it is—as Crowley says—a card of great power and importance, for the ability to act in the world is the essential quality of life. Alexandra Genetti.

Tarot Reflections Playlist

I’ve been working on this for longer than I should probably admit, but I finally finished my complete Tarot Playlist! I’ve chosen one song for each card of the 78-card RWS Tarot deck. In the spirit of the little white book, I have excerpted a line or two from each song to justify its association with its chosen card. Each suit has its own musical themes, and some of the songs were chosen to invoke the elemental association of the suit. The Court Cards get their own playlist because it can double as an astrological playlist. There are also a few sillier songs picked primarily for humor value (though hopefully still in keeping with the theme of the song). What follows is a complete index, so you can easily listen to whichever parts of the playlist you want to or browse the whole thing.

4. The King of Pentacles (Taurus, the Bull): “A Farewell to Kings” by Rush

“Cities full of hatred, fear and lies, withered hearts, and cruel, tormented eyes... Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise, beating down the multitude, and scoffing at the wise. Whoa, can't we raise our eyes and make a start? Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?”
