#Tarot Writing

[whileyoureinschoolidothisallday]

the fool & the high priestess!!!!

AYYYYYY HELLO MAO!!!! Thank you for the ask! =D

THE FOOL: BEGINNINGS (What is the opening line to your current work?) 

Since the Dabi!oneshot is the only thing I'm actively drafting, I'll give the opening lines of that!

...

"You could always be found by the water."

THE HIGH PRIESTESS: WISDOM (What are your go-to craft books or resources?) 

Oh man, I'm gonna be honest and say that I have not read a craft book since graduating college, BUT I do have recommendations from one of the writing discords I'm in that I'm actually interested in!

2k to 10k by Rachel Aaron - Basically a book for increasing your daily word count, especially good for people who do Nano, BUT even if you're not apparently it's really good for organizing your writing in general, which I can always use more help with!

Craft in the Real World by Matthew Salesses - This is apparently an overview of fiction workshops and also a pushback against them, so I am VERY interested in reading this cause I lowkey don't like the current standard of workshops.

The Shit No One Tells You - A publishing podcast that apparently goes pretty in-depth about the industry with advice about query letters, pitches, query packages, etc.

But also, I've learned a lot from following folks on tumblr, and I've saved all of the really good advice over on my writing blog in The Craft tag!

(also! The OneLook Thesaurus. I would marry this website if I could.)

Send Me A Tarot Card and I'll Answer Writing Questions!

11, 19, 28 on the writer's tarot asks!

11. JUSTICE: TRUTH (What is the 'truth' of your novel i.e the prevalent themes or overarching motifs?)  Without Love "It" Cannot Be Seen this is tougher than I expected. I think there's a couple:

While Religion can be a force for Good we must understand it is also a force for Evil

People Change

Everything has a Cost

19. THE SUN: POSITIVITY (What is your greatest writing strength or skill?). I honestly think my narrative voice is pretty strong? Because I am an anxious person, I like to tint the narration with anxiety and I think that works out well in my writing (unless I supposed I tried to write for a non-anxious POV but no point in worrying about that yet!).

28. SEVEN OF CUPS: OVERWHELMED BY CHOICE (How do you decide which story idea to pursue? How many do you have?)

Well in my "Haunted By Story Ghosts" Life it's basically whichever ides is "Haunting" / Nagging me the most. And yes a degree of shininess helps. I have told people before I try to let it sit and stew a bit so there's more "substance" to the idea, as that is advice I have been told, but ngl I am very bad at waiting when it comes to this sort of thing, so I usually start pretty quickly. Amount I have... I have one other fantasy series I want to do (have wanted to do for over a decade, it's just that this my current WIP was more... needy.) I have an idea for a romance novel I want to write, and let's see... 3 Short Story WIPs, at least 5 that are a ghost of an idea, and a short story I tried to write and then realized it would need to be at least Novella length, so I've put it on the back-burner. I have a thin Hobonichi A6 notebook I store most of my story ideas in (and notes when I'm editing) and it's running out of room. Maybe I should order some more notebooks (and stickers!!!) soon.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, i cannot express how helpful keeping a list of the activities, people and things that help you feel at peace can be for your healing.

when you're feeling disjointed take the list out, how long ago since you last had a conversation with someone that makes you feel loved, did your favourite hobby, made your favourite meal or drink, visited your favourite place, watched your favourite film or listened to your favourite song? how long ago since you last did something you truly love, simply for the joy of doing it?

#hoping i can get this into my head #for me its things like reading and writing and tarot and journaling but for you it might be something completely different #i stopped doing those things a while ago and i just realised i haven't felt right since #recovery #self care #love letters to you

[histhoughtslately]

During this time, speak these 5 words into existence…

“I can let go now…”

Repeat it. Chant it. Sit with it. Feel it. This is your moment; now! 🌱

What do you need to know? Pick-A-Pile✨

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pile #1

ten of swords, the sun, the knight of swords, and the three of swords

There was or currently is a difficult situation that you are overcoming. It has been draining, and exhausting to the point where all you have energy for is laying down in bed. There was some sort of betrayal that occurred, wether from someone else or yourself. You are now in a state of surrendering and feeling the ending of the situation. But guess what? Acceptance is exactly what will bring you joy and success. Understand that what happened was meant to happen, let the feelings flow out, and allow space for light and hope. Once you do, you will feel mentally ready and clear to dive directly towards what caused the pain, and properly heal it. You are now standing up for yourself. No more tears left to cry. You are now seeing things from such a logical way, that there’s no confusion to what led you towards feeling defeated to begin with. Seeing things for what they are can be painful, but choosing to head straight to it with no fear of losing something is exactly what you need right now. You will feel better and might become overprotective of your heart, but you know what? That’s totally fine. Your heart is your biggest treasure, and not everyone or every situation deserves to receive the type of love that only you can provide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pile #2

king of swords, the sun, ace of pentacles, and two of pentacles

You are on a very powerful analytical mindset right now. Your mind is clear and sharp. There could be a masculine energy in your life with Air (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) or Leo placements that fits this description as well. There’s a lot of joy and success that is either coming your way or already with you at the moment. This could either be from a new job, promotion, venture, or extra money that allows you to not only plant a seed for future financial benefits, but also allow you to balance out your finances in general. If you find yourself needing to cut down some expenses, it won’t budge or bother you. Actually, you’ll see it as good and necessary, hence why you’ll be able to balance things out better. Overall very positive energy radiating from you, the masculine energy that’s approaching, or the situation that’s heading your way.

If the masculine energy is not a romantic partner, they could very well be someone who could come offer you a work opportunity. Someone very intellectual, fair, and whose words carry a lot of authority.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pile #3

three of wands, ten of pentacles, page of cups, page of pentacles

You are either looking forward to expanding your horizons towards finances or wanting to cross borders, meaning, travel (particularly where your family or ancestors come from). Nonetheless, there is an expansion that will be felt in your life when it comes to long term financial success, family, and relationships. There is a potential suitor for you, perhaps someone that has a crush on you, and wants to make it known by taking a step forward. They could be a wealthy foreigner that you meet while traveling, that doesn’t take things too fast, and is quite dreamy when it comes to love. They will make careful, steady, yet romantic steps towards you. If its not a partner, then it’s definitely some sort of venture that you will take on that will give you financial abundance, and allow you to confidently manifest or master abilities to ensure your future is held on a strong foundation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for reading! I truly hope these messages are able to resonate and reach exactly those that need divine clarity. If not, do not worry, it will come your way regardless.

second installment of the eddie knows tarot-verse

decided to flesh out this post !! enjoy !! xoxo

part two is posted!!

edit: look at this AMAZING art by: @amethyst-crowns !

“What are these?”

Steve is gesturing to Eddie’s deck of tarot cards on top of his dresser.

Today has been just like every other Saturday has been for the past several months.

At the ungodly hour of nine a.m. Steve knocks on the trailer door to summon the boy out for their standing Saturday breakfast at the diner. After several cups of coffee and a rather mediocre stack of pancakes, they find themselves back at Eddie’s where the rest of the day is typically spent with Eddie strumming at his guitar and jotting down song lyrics and melodies while Steve entertains himself by either listening, interjecting with questions, or rummaging through Eddie’s things.

Today, he’s spotted Eddie’s deck.

Shifting in his spot on the floor he props his guitar against his bed and stands to walk to the dresser and retrieve the deck. 

“I knew you were gonna ask that,” Eddie jokes as he pulls Steve to sit on the bed with him and starts shuffling with the cards.

Steve’s eyebrows furrow and he lets out a questioning hum making Eddie huff a laugh.

“They’re tarot cards,” he starts, dropping his voice low for dramatic effect. “Set aside your skepticism and allow the cards to tell you your fortune.”

Steve chuckles, “Don’t think I would call myself a skeptic, ya know, given the circumstances of the last several years of my life. But I’ll bite. What kind of future can they tell me, oh wise one?”

And see, as of late, Eddie has been working on not running away from things that scare him. Has been the reason he has run directly toward danger in situations severe enough to nearly cost his life. 

Point is, one would think that by now he would know which scary things are hills worth dying on.

He doesn’t.

His big, fat crush on Steve Harrington clouds his judgment and drives his own morbid curiosity and self-destructive tendencies to have him saying, “Well, my favorite is the soulmate reading. Let's do that one, yeah?”

Steve’s eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. “They can tell me that?”

Eddie starts focusing his energy more intentionally on his card shuffling. Furrows his brows in an attempt to convey his seriousness. 

“They can tell you anything, sweetheart.”

Decidedly dragging his eyes from the pretty flush covering Steve’s cheeks at the pet name, Eddie gives Steve a quick lesson in what he’s doing.

“So, basically, I just focus my energy-”

“Sounds dangerous.”

“Shush!”

Steve giggles.

“I focus my energy on communicating to the universe what I am asking the cards. So this time, I’m asking them to tell me about the soulmate of the great Steve Harrington.” He catches the card that jumps out of the deck and into his lap and places it face down between them. “And that, Stevie, is how we pull cards.”

Steve looks questioning but not dismissive. “So you pick the ones that fall out?”

Eddie scoffs as he pauses his rapid shuffling and pulls a rogue card from where it’s peeking out from the deck. “Ones that fall out. No, Steve! I pick the ones that speak to me.” He resumes his shuffling and is immediately gifted with another two cards spinning out between them both.

Lifting his hands in a gesture of innocence Steve mutters apologies as Eddie stacks his remaining cards and sets them to the side.

‘Okay, pretty boy. Last chance to back out before all is revealed,” Eddie whispers, lining up the four cards he pulled. 

Its an out for Steve if he was just feigning interest, and it's a copout for Eddie. Eddie who is actively psyching himself up to face disappointment at the task of telling Steve allllll about his dream girl.

Steve shoves his shoulder. “Shut up and tell me about them.”

Before flipping the cards face up, Eddie points at each one and tells what it is going to represent based on the reading format he chose.

“Alright, this first card is going to be representative of how your soulmate views you. The next one tells you who they are and how this person comes into your life, and the last two are descriptors of your soulmate.” 

Steve takes a breath and gives a resolute nod. 

Eddie steels himself and flips the cards.

Freezes.

Instantly his mind is running a mile a minute, both in shock and what the fuck he is going to tell Steve.

Let it be said that Eddie is nothing if not quick on his feet. And Eddie Munson knows for a fact that Steve doesn’t know anything about tarot. What’s he going to do? Correct him?

He claps his hands together and plasters on his most predatory smile. 

“Stevie, Stevie, Stevie,” he tuts. “Now this is no surprise,” he starts.

And you see, the best kinds of lies are ones that are based in truth. That’s the reason that Eddie taps a finger over The Magician and says, “Your soulmate sees you as a person of great power and influence. King Steve, if you will.”

True.

Steve bristles a bit but nods along.

Pointing at the next card, “The King of Cups,” Eddie tells him, “Now this, this is a good one. This one says you’re going to be a great boyfriend-”

Not quite true.

“- and that your soulmate is a new person in your life. You meet a new girl and not tell me, Stevie? I’m hurt.”

Steve laughs and runs a hand through his hair. “I mean, I don't think so, no. Haven’t really had much time since the apocalypse, ya know,”

Eddie’s brain short circuits a bit at the idea that he is the newest person Steve knows. Right. 

He opts to press on. “Ah this is interesting. The reverse King of Swords. Well, typically this represents someone abrasive. Brash, even.”

True.

“But since it's reversed, it means the opposite,” he says.

Not true. 

“She’s going to be gentle and kind. Aw. Isn’t that sweet, Stevie.”

Even the thought of it makes Eddie’s heart flip over and twist with discomfort. Despite the fact that he’s lying out of his ass.

Steve is getting really into it and picks up the last card himself. “What’s this one? The Tower.”

Eddie twirls a piece of his hair around his finger and thinks for a split second before responding with the first thing that comes to mind. 

“It’s a landmark. It means you’ll meet her somewhere you’re familiar with. Maybe that farmer’s market you like to go to on Sunday’s! That seems like a good place to meet someone.”

Steve wrings his hands together and then takes Eddie’s notebook from the floor to jot down what he’s learned. 

If Eddie wasn’t already trying valiantly to hold back his own impending panic he might find his enthusiasm cute. As it is, he’s experiencing the heavy feeling of dread settling low in his stomach of the realization of what this reading actually says.

The Magician actually says that Steve’s soulmate had to learn to use their intuition to get to know him. Had to look past his power and influence, his King Steve persona. 

The reverse King of Swords actually says that it's someone abrasive and blunt. Someone who uses words as a weapon and easily finds themselves in harm's way. 

The Tower actually says that this person comes close to chaos, destruction. Has had their life turned upside down. When pulled with the reverse King of Swords it implies that this person nearly fell victim to their own rash decisions. 

If that wasn’t enough, it's the King of Cups that really put Eddie over the edge. Because it tells us that Steve’s soulmate is someone older than him who came into his life with a bang. 

It also says it's a guy.

But Eddie just agrees with Steve’s request to join him on a trip to the farmer’s market tomorrow and puts his cards back on the dresser with a ringing static sound in his ears.

He’s content to join Steve on his quest to find his nice girl at the farmer’s market if it means he never has to tell him the truth.

That the cards said Steve’s soulmate was him.

_________________________________________________

It's Tuesday night and Eddie is nose-deep in some book Gareth recommended to him. Truth be told it's boring, but he’s reading it because his friend liked it. He can never say Eddie never did anything for him. 

A firm knock on his door frame has his eyes shooting up.

Wayne is standing there, hands in his pockets. He nods Eddie’s direction.

“Got a call from that Buckley girl, kid.”

Eddie furrows his eyebrows as he walks to the phone in the living room. 

He answers with a question in his voice. 

“Hey Bird. You okay?”

He is cut off from asking anything else when Robin launches into one of her rambles.

“Well honestly I feel like I might be going crazy because like a year ago- well I guess it was two years ago. Anyway- this one Summer our tv went out and I had to find other ways to entertain myself, and you know I’ve already read every book I own and Steve was working on his house and was busy all the time so no one could drive me to the library-”

“Bird! What’s going on? Why did you call?”

She groans dramatically, “I was getting there Eddie. But fine. I learned how to read tarot and I don’t know what you said to Steve about the soulmate reading you did for him, but I know for a fact that The Tower has nothing to do with the farmer’s market.”

And isn't that just it? All of Eddie’s carefully crafted lies coming back to bite him. 

“I- Robbie. You can’t tell him. Please?”

Her voice drops in a show of sincerity. 

“Of course not Eds. I won’t tell him.”

He heaves out a breath of relief.

“Thank you, Bird. I owe you one.”

She giggles.

“Your secret’s safe with me.” She pauses before she speaks again.

“Not with Steve though. He’s the one who taught me how to read the cards.”

♡•° Fast Facts about your Future Spouse ♡•°

Without further ado let's get into the reading, So take a breath and choose a pile. Always remember to trust your intuitive guidance and to only take what resonates for it is rarely wrong…

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do for my pride, and I know that it is a long shot. I am taking the biggest shot in the dark that I have ever done, and I hopefully will never again in my life need to do this.

My name is Severin. I am going to be homeless soon if I cannot find some way to gain money, and I am making this post to beg on my hands and knees to find help.

You can message me for the links to help, as I have no follower base and I'm afraid this post will disappear entirely if I try to out in a link or tag it in any way. If you'd like a tarot reading, I can do those. If you'd like a piece of writing, I can do that. I'll edit your school paper. You do not need to send me anything for nothing, if you want something in return I will do what I can. But I need help. What I need in the long run is $2,550— what I am asking for is $500, even $100 cumulatively from anyone, anywhere around this site who has anything to spare.

I know this is a long shot. I know this is the site of disabled queer folk who have nothing for themselves. But I am hoping against hope that if I swallow my pride and put this out there, I will be able to scrape by without ending up homeless.

Please reblog if you can... I know most of us don't have money. I'm just trying to not be out in the literal cold for a Canadian December.

#mutual aid #community aid #tarot reading #writing commisions #please gods let there be someone who can help. i know what i am asking. please no one feel obligated i just dont want to freeze to death. #i will give a breakdown of what the money is for if asked i just. i cant bring myself to put it out there like this. #also if anyone has tag recs to grt this out there...please send them to me
