✂ AND WE'LL DANCE ALONE TO THE TUNE OF YOUR DEATH.
Notes: a little thing I wrote at 3 am instead of sleeping. Better with this song in the background. Remember that English isn't my first language, and I write to improve my skills and for fun!
Characters: Fyodor Dostoevskij, reader.
Genre: angst I guess?
Tw/cw: fem!reader, Fyodor being a bit ooc I think, major character death, fever-dreaming, slightly religious themes.
Tumblr media
One step to the right, another one to the left.
Their feet barely touching while the rest of their bodies seemed to merge into one.
Two steps backwards, one forward.
Her head on his chest, her hands one on his shoulder, the other one tightly interlocked with his fingers.
A quick spin.
No words left their mouths, but the beating of his heart alone was enough. Piano notes came from somewhere in that dark ballroom. Only a few, shy, dying candles lit the death-stenched atmosphere.
Fyodor's other hand rested on her hip, guiding her through the soft music.
-You hold me a bit too tightly to be the one that killed me.-
Words sweet like sugar and her kisses, yet sharp as his knives, echoed in the ballroom together with the music. Still, she didn't dare to oppose his touch and he didn't dare to push her away.
-Maybe I regret doing so.-
His breath flew through her silky hair, like a fooling caress made by a way too sly wind.
-I find it hard to believe.-
She chuckled, but her laugh wasn't crystalline like before; her chest didn't tremble like flowers by the wind anymore. She was just clinging to Fyodor's body, like a stiff, lifeless doll.
Was her heart even beating?
Was she even alive?
"No" was the sad truth in a way too tempting reality, in which he didn't stuck too much to his own pride. But he and his pride were one, inseparable and omens of catastrophic events. Still she loved Fyodor dearly, like a devoted follower loves their God; and like a soldier craves war and like a starving hunter craves their prey to fall.
Even though he stuck with his pride, selfishly like a spoiled noble man, Fyodor missed her. He missed her fingertips through his hair and on his body, their skins against each other, her insatiable mind and her soothing voice.
Fyodor had let the house they shared burn and the gorgeous garden she sweetly, intensely cared for became ash, together with the land she was buried in.
The stench of death in that large room was almost like a perfume. The stench of death to Fyodor wasn't the same as everyone else. The one he felt invading his lungs was sweet: it was flowers, the ashes from his cigarette box and her garden, books and freshly washed clothes, rain, tears and despair of a loved one left to rot in a fancy coffin.
He looked up at the ceiling of the ballroom, while he kept on dancing with the imitation his mind had made of his past lover.
And the ceiling looked back at him; millions of eyes, eyes of angels and eyes of demons, eyes from the Heavenly Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins, and eyes from tarot cards' figures observed his elegant movements. But those eyes looked so much, too much, like hers.
They were judgmental, but he had no fear of those wary stares from statues and painting.
-You are right. Even if it had to be done, I still miss you.-
He looked back down at her hidden figure and pushed her slightly, enough to see her face. She was just as beautiful as he remembered her to be. The light of the candles, barely surviving, traced her facial features just well, perfectly to refresh his memory like sea breeze.
-You are a cruel man. And you are terribly lonely. I took pity on you and I gifted you my heart out of love and devotion for a lonesome man that believes himself to be sent by God.-
Her lips barely moved, her voice was low and sounded heavenly to his ears.
-And I gifted you my heart back, milaya. You took it to your grave. My heart, that was the price I paid to lose you.-
Fyodor raised his hand over her head and made her spin, one, two, three times.
-That's the only thing that consoles my restless soul. My nails are now digging and carving your heart just like you did to mine. But beware that your heart, nor my love, will be enough to save you from your sins and your faults. My tears and care weren't enough to wash the blood off your hands and clothes, and my arms won't be enough to stop demons from dragging you to Hell.-
A candle died completely and he noticed that only two of them were still fighting to light the large room. The music started to fade, sounding distant as if the mysterious pianist was walking away with his instrument.
-I know. Soon I'll reach my goal, and I will rest in the same land were you lie, my dear. I'll make sure to leave my corpse next to yours and my soul to your judgment. Until then, haunt me. Bruise my skin and make me insane, but don't leave me.-
Fyodor spun her around two more times. Another candle faded away like a silent whisper in the night as their dance became more aggressive and the music grew more distant.
She moved her hand from his shoulder to his face, cupping his cheek gently.
-I won't leave you. Maybe I'll even follow you in Hell, who knows... Perhaps loving you was a sin itself.-
He raised his hand again to spun her one last time, but the music abruptly stopped and the last candle gave up to the darkness before he could face her again.
So he woke up, in a puddle of his sweat, a mess of his hair and sheets.
His forehead was hot and his vision blurry, he felt cold and oddly nervous.
Fyodor calmed down his breath and dizziness, and promised to himself that he would bring flowers to her grave and check if she were still in the coffin next time he visited her.

THE TWO OF CUPS IN THE ORIENS TAROT IS PENGUINS.
FOR THE NON TAROT READERS:
Via Wikipedia:
The Two of Cups shows power that is created when two come together. This is the card that lovers want to see, and, in fact, the Two of Cups is the minor arcana equivalent of the Lovers in many ways. 
Via Labyrinthos:
To see the Two of Cups is an indication of a partnership that is built on the union of forces, a strong connection and a balanced and equal partnership. The exchange of cups suggest that each party's emotions are intertwined with the other's, and each participant's feelings have profound affects on the other. A strong pair is indicated here, the joy of two becoming one.
Via TheTarotGuide
If you are in a relationship, the Two of Cups represents a perfect union, proposals, engagements and marriage. It a great omen as it indicates that your relationship is harmonious, loving, balanced and mutually supportive and that you are both feeling very content. You should soon find yourself taking your relationship to the next level of commitment or finding a deeper level of connection with your partner when this card appears. Although the Two of Cups is less intense than similar cards in the Major Arcana, it is an indicator that the relationship this card relates to is potentially with your soulmate.
TELL ME THE PENGUINS ARE NOT FATE. One penguin is even a RED PENGUIN (I frequently tie Matt to fire + warmth, plus it's Matt's color) while the BLUE PENGUIN both shows balance (theme of TRT) AND can stand in for Jane (I frequently tie her to water/ice + coolness to show they balance one another).
THIS IS THEIR CARD.

— eddie and a spiritual reader.
Tumblr media
masterlist. / nav.
❰ warnings. gn!reader, eddie will give you many pine cones and rocks
❰ note. i know he would LOVE having a witchy-warlock s/o. he loves the magic of d&d, so why not? magic in real life!
Tumblr media
Your first meeting went like this:
Eddie saw you at the table in the woods with some raw clear quartz rocks, thinking they were drugs and was like, “Hey, what are you selling? Is that some new stuff?”
Giving him readings when he asks about the future of his band. Sometimes he doesn’t want the tough love of tarot, and mostly asks for oracle readings
Tarot will call him out, and he doesn’t like it. He’ll throw hands with it
Eddie: “What’s up for my future, fuckers?”
Tarot: “I see you haven’t graduated yet bitch.”
Eddie: “‘87 will be the year. I PROMISE.”
Going to spiritual/crystal shops and he’s like a little kid in his enthusiasm
He’d spend 10 minutes just smelling all the different kinds of incense
Him seeing watermelon tourmaline. “Are those jolly ranchers?”
Making little protection spell jars for his trailer and his van
“So you can, like, hex people and shit?”
Him asking you, “Am I your soulmate in this lifetime?” 🥺
He’s always thinking about you and what you could use for your spiritual work. Which ends up being every rock he finds. His pockets end up being full of them, and you end up with a whole collection of just random rocks from him
SINGING BOWLS. He loves the sound, and it relaxes him
Eddie immediately going to you whenever he thinks something is a “bad omen/sign”, but it ends up just being his anxiety and him overthinking
“Eddie, it’s raining! Get some jars!”
You and him standing out in the rain, collecting it, and getting absolutely soaked but you do it for moon water and spells
Eddie’s uncle complaining about the constant smell of incense in the trailer
Eddie loves learning about mythologies and deities, and he’s always wondering what your patron deity thinks of him - he wants to make a good impression and will leave offerings
Making him a love and peace bracelet. He wouldn’t dare take it off

Hi! If I may ask, what is the current situation with the royal family right now? I've been reading some tweets about tarot readers who after getting the cards found that some of them included 10 of Swords, Death and Tower which don't have to be a good omen. I would just like to know if they are wrong or not, mostly wrong.
I don't do readings for the BRF until the end of April if there is a serious event. Yes, I don't feel anything, just rest for everyone.
I focus on individuals because there will be movement in May and June for everyone

The witchling and the god [Loki x Witch!Reader] Chapter 20
Summary: The Avengers were looking for someone to help Loki fit in with the team. To become socially acceptable, so to speak. He had been given the choice of sitting in a cell in Asgard or serving some sort of community service probation on Midgard. The Avengers and Shield both felt that as long as Loki was on Earth, he should be under supervision. This is now your job. Why? Because you’re a witch. You’re not sure why this qualifies you, but here you are, giving it a shot. What could possibly go wrong?
Tags: Witch!Reader, Magic, Witches, slow burn, everybody lives in the tower, character development, Loki‘s redemption, Stephen Strange is a friend, Loki and Stephen are frenemies, Tony Stark is a good bro, kids love Loki, Tony has stupid nicknames for everybody, eventual smut

Chapter's Note: Just a small chapter this week. Beta by @zaria-04
Tumblr media
Chapter 20: A bad omen
It's unusual for the compound to be so vast. Most of the Avengers have left and the corridors are empty. Although the common areas are spacious, there is always someone around. Of course, there are still the usual suits working for Stark Industries and Shield, but they don’t count.
You retreat to your cottage and tend to your neglected garden.
It's just the right time to harvest raspberries, and you gather enough to get a few jars of jam. The first zucchini is already ripe, too. The pumpkins, however, are still growing. You'll check on them again in a month or two.
Your path leads you to the large cherry tree that stands in the back of the garden. Its branches reach over the hedge that marks the boundary of your property. A glance up tells you that you've sadly missed their zenith. The cherries are all pitted throughout, and some have dried up. Birds and other animals have feasted on them. Too bad, you would have loved to make a cherry pie. But that's the price you pay for not paying attention and spending most of your time in New York. You're okay with it.
After cutting some of the lavender and hanging it in bundles to dry, you bring your garden harvest indoors and stash it in the kitchen.
The healing potions you were supposed to brew for the Avengers' use are already on their way south. Tony had provided you with a drone in the tower for this purpose, which will deliver the bottles safely to the Avengers. You'll check in with them when they arrive.
In the meantime, you sit down at your kitchen table and shuffle your cards. You want to see what the future holds for you.
You divide the tarot cards into three piles, put them in a different order and shuffle them again. Then you spread them out on the table. You haven't consulted the cards in quite a while, you had no reason to. But now the time feels right and you focus on your question about the near future.
Your first deck of cards had been given to you by your mother back when you were young. She was also the one who taught you how to read them. You treasured her cards for a long time but eventually they were worn out. Time did not stop at paper.
You relax and drive away any other thoughts. Your hand hovers over the cards, then you draw one and turn it around.
Death.
Okay, that's not bad. A new beginning, something old will end.
In fact, it's felt like change for a while now. Your new life in New York, Loki. Maybe it's time for a complete move. You're hardly ever in your cottage anymore anyway, and only to use the kitchen. You’re sure you could set up your own in the tower too. Then you wouldn't have the problem with the five hour time difference anymore.
You may miss your garden, though.
You draw another card.
Death.
You pause, taken aback. That's not possible. There are no duplicate cards. You blink, wondering if this is a sick joke, if your eyes betray you. But you're still looking at the same card.
An uneasy feeling rises in you and you dare not breathe as you place the card next to the first and then move your trembling hand back to the rest of the row.
You take your time feeling for a third card and you turn it around.
Death.
Goosebumps come over you. It seems as if everything around you has suddenly fallen silent: the birds have stopped singing through your open window, no sound of the wind can be heard.
Three in a row.
You have no idea what this means to you. Somewhere in your brain comes the thought that you should contact your mother. She has an answer for almost everything.
Suddenly your phone rings in the silence and being on the edge, you jump up in surprise. You bump into the table and a few of the undrawn cards fall to the floor. One comes to rest face up. You notice only peripherally that it is the Wheel of Fortune. A card of inevitable fate, out of all.
Looking at your phone you see it's Tony with a facetime call. With shaky fingers you press the green button.
"Yeah?"
"Hey, She-Severus, your potions just arrived." Tony's gaze is on a point off camera and he's giving someone instructions with a few gestures.
That gives you a few seconds to calm your nerves, since there's obviously no emergency at hand. You brush a few stray strands of hair out of your face.
"Great... I've included instructions, but you do much wrong. They are like a small kick of energy. It speeds up the healing of wounds. You guys can drink it too if you need something to keep you going. It would work like coffee, but it’s magic," you explain absently, rambling. You mentally go through all the dangers that could happen on the mission. It's certainly no coincidence that Tony called just now. There are no coincidences.
Tony's eyes light up at the mention of magic coffee and he looks at you. "That's something we should definitely look into again. I'd be happy to make myself available for field studies."
"Is Loki around?" you ask without responding to that. The last thing you want to do is make small talk.
Tony grins and walks through the Quinjet. "Sure, lovebird. Do you two need a room?"
"Yes, and can I also order a candlelight dinner?" You try for sarcasm but it sounds more like a nervous chuckle. Fortunately Tony passes the tablet to the Asgardian in that moment and you see Loki appear on the screen. Immediately, your heart lightens. "How are you?"
"When I see your lovely face, every burden is bearable. Even working with wimpy humans." His words make you smile. You wish he was with you and you could feel his closeness, inhaling his scent. You miss him, even though you've only been apart for a few days. It's a testament to how much you've really grown to love him. How much you've fallen for him.
"Silvertongue," you accuse him rightly. "If complimenting is still so easy for you, then it can’t be that bad."
"Everything's fine. It's a lot of work though,” he reassures you.
"But no unusual incidents?" you check again. "Just ordinary human work?"
"Yes, love. Why do you ask?" He looks at the image of you a little closer. "You look worried. Did something happen?"
You quickly wave it off. "No, it's just..." You pause for a second. "I can't wait for you to be back."
That's not a lie. Still, Loki notices you're holding something back - but he drops the subject. "Miss me, already? We better hurry up then," he says instead.
You smile, but it doesn't reach your eyes. "I hope so. I gotta go, but I'll have brownies waiting for you when you're back." You blow him a kiss and hang up. Immediately your put-on happy face collapses and a worry line appears on your forehead. You glance at the table where the tarot cards lie. They are still laughing silently in your face. Something terrible will happen, you are sure.
Loki, meanwhile, thoughtfully hands the tablet back to Tony. He would love to rush to you, because something seems wrong. He just wishes you would talk to him about it.
Tony claps his hands once. "Break's over. Let's get back to work." he announces loudly to everyone. "Or as Cap would say, Avengers assemble. And yes, that includes you, lover boy." He points at Loki, who rolls his eyes. Tony is getting more creative with his nicknames, but the Asgardian can't seem to mind anymore.
"It's lover prince, thank you very much," he deadpuns.
Steve steps into the center of the group, drawing general attention. "We need people to clear the big debris and cars off the street." He nods to Thor and Banner, who stepped forward voluntarily. "Loki, you make sure the potions get to where they need to be-"
A loud rumble of thunder cuts through the air. Astonished, the Avengers look up, automatically glancing at Thor, but he shakes his head. This is not his doing obviously.
Another crash sounds in the distance, a dull, deep noise that goes through bones. The Avengers rush out of the hangar of the Quinjet, which has become their unofficial headquarters on site.
In Steve's belt, the comm device from the operations center cracks.
"We've got an emergency! The dam is about to break. We need to evacuate!"
Steves turns his face toward the dam, which is not far away from the town. If it’s really going to break, the water would flood the valley and wash away everything that was left here. It would wipe this town off the map.

I swear something isn’t right in the head with AB, why she follow the comedians from the place Chris was allegedly at. 😂 what the world. People said she’d follow them within the week and she was like nope….just a few days. The girl is desperate.
It’s hilarious to me because I feel had this actually been real, they wouldn’t have had to try to hard. Chris was hot commodity yet ever since she got in the picture……it’s all just toxic and crumbling.
If she was FS things would be smooth sailing but they aren’t and never will.
She’s like a bad omen and no matter how hard she or they try, it won’t work out for her, I’m just waiting for the big blowup at this point.
Everything she touches falls apart. She needs to do some deep soul searching. If she wants her karma to improve I suggest ending this stunt with Chris Evans and moving on with her life because the longer she’s stays in this mess…..it’s going to get to a point she won’t be able to bounce back at all and she’ll be miserable the rest of her life. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Imagine not realizing your happiness is elsewhere but you’re wasting time trying to fight tooth and nail with something and someone that’s not meant for you,
I’d never be bold enough to mess with the universe, not even her karma tattoo can save her ass, she and he were warned when everything kept falling apart and now they’ve done this “marriage” crap and I’m just like….. it won’t end well, but carry on. 🫣😬🫠
Again, the more they push this mess the more they are taunting the universe and once the universe fully steps in and says enough is ENOUGH……YIKES!!
It’s crazy that you said that because another tarot reader got done with her reading on you tube and said that Chris and AB aren’t meant to be together and eventually they will fall apart

I spent the whole day with my sister from another mister (yup, everybody in my building believe we are sisters and we are working in reinforcing that fact), and we talked and laughed a lot and checked out the Good Omens Tarot (she is a pretty talented tarot reader) and then we geeked out talking about theater and pragmatics and narrative and then we watched many versions of Hamlet's "To be or not to be" monologue... And we ended sharing recommendations and watching series together.
She showed me the first chapter of Blue Eye Samurai. It is cool! I will watch it this weekend, I believe. The plot seems great, the animation is beautiful, and the characters are endearing.
I shared the first two chapters of Broadchurch. She couldn't stop. We watched four chapters (I finished watching the season on my own, because I couldn't stop either). We screamed at the screen, laughed a lot at our reactions (and at the quick quips between Hardy and Miller), ate chips and popcorn, she adored the series (perfect writing, perfect casting, beautiful places, airtight plot and our favorite thing: EVERYTHING has CONSEQUENCES)... And decided that we are going to make a tv night once a month, on a Sunday, because we miss having someone to react with when we watch something really good.
It is fun, discovering that even when you're past 40 you still need that little things. We are never too old for this sort of joy, and I believe we should make space for that sort of shared experience, as simple as it might seem. Sometimes adult life seems so... complicated, but having an afternoon to sit down with a friend and just sharing something you watch and like and reacting together can make a magnificent day.
Oh, and that's why I'm behind on the promised Good Omens Tarot readings (but I'll do them in the morning).
it was a lucky day, and a great way to end our Winter holidays, before returning to full speed next Monday.

Hello, Anon reader here. I've done a general reading about my dearest Evan to see what's up with him, his current energy and what's coming for him in the next days. Let me dig into it:
I've shuffled my deck for him after meditating and bringing up his energy, asked the cards “ What should I know about Evan's current energy now?” and two cards fell off;
First card we have “ 10 of Cups” : This card is a good omen all about fun time and celebrations, it also represents having a good time with family members or group of friends. It represents as well feeling security, caring and home, so most likely he is home in St.Louis especially it's Thanksgiving and this is what family gathering and celebration is indicating this card.
The Moon: This card could indicate complicated emotions, could be about career, personal life or life in general. Emotions here could represent any kind of emotions happiness, stress, confusion... etcetera, but here the kind of emotion I'm getting from him is Anxiety as it seems sort of vagueness. Possibly something related to career future project maybe? we'll see. The moon card is a symbol of uncertainty in love readings, so here probably he is not being serious towards dating and dating life.
Queen Of Pentacles and knight of Swords: The queen of pentacles is an indicator of a female figure has been in his life recently, this card shows a down to earth type of person, mature, either has a child or has something to do with children related to her work or they met through either children or through a mature female figure. This person has light eyes to dark features, shorter than him, fair skin, and casual. But I don't see the presence of this feminine energy in his current energy, because if you noticed above i said “ has been ” not still. However I can still see more than one in his energy, so he could be just having fun around as the previous cards showed him not taking dating too serious.
Following the 4 of Wands: Which represents high sexual attraction or physical activity. Possibly hook ups most of the time, incapability of controlling temptations.
Also certain cards here are representing, old mature nurturing female figure spending much time with him, most likely his mother. And male figure has something to do with law and courts, older than him, is showing him way to explore light in his life. A come back of an old friend, not very old but this friend and him didn't met and connect in a while and they will soon, this old friend is most likely a male, fair skin or light, same height as him or shorter , mature or married. An old lover is nostalgic to old days with him, this is a female young and fair skinned.
Possible signs: Pisces, Libra, Gemini, Aquarius, Virgo and Scorpio.
Last but not least, you are going to hear from him soon. Something about traveling or going home. New job offer and celebration. Other than that enjoy the reading.
New reading! ✨♥️
✨ A gentle reminder: tarot is for fun and we should always take everything with a grain of salt and be opened to all the possibilities! ✨

hello chicken!
Already asked one question, so feel free to ignore either one because it’s a bit of a double whammy. I recently pulled some cards to see how a spell I did for my friend went, and I pulled all aces. Does that carry any significance? I’ve heard about repeating suits meaning something, would you consider the same for numbers in tarot? Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply.
I'm not so sure that I have any insight into your specific situation. I'd probably take all aces as a good omen.
Anyway I'm trying to write this ask and I think I may have come to the conclusion that actually
going by book meaning, like,
reading the meanings of the cards out of a book and applying them to each card one by one in a spread laid out,
May actually be the worst method to learn tarot,
Is an ineffective method of reading tarot for many people,
And furthermore may actually be a technique that should be reserved for advanced readers who already know how to read tarot.
I'm not 100% on this hypothesis but it's been percolating for me for a while and I think that if I had a tarot student I would not start with book meanings at all, until quite a ways in.
(Of course, I do not have a tarot student, so who knows)

Tarot: About Spreads and Readings
I’m aware that the big majority of the tarot books, manuals and guides are based to the “this spread, cards in this position, this mean this, period” kind of mindset and, as an eclectic asshole who hate when people tell me what to do, I struggled a lot when I started my journey as a tarot reader a decade ago, to only figure out later that there are way very few rules in witchcraft, and how use tarot is not one.
I’m also aware that there are books now exploring the different ways to do tarot, like The Big Book of Tarot by Joan Bunning (My friend Ethan do an excellent review of that book and others here), but well, a book of 150 pages can be dense to read, and that one in particular is impossible to download for free, so I will do a “simple” post about this topic.
And as warning, I’m not a professional, and I speak mostly from my own experience, so take all what I say as you always should do: with a grain of salt. Also, the next ones are not “official names”, are my way to separate them to make it easier to explain.
                            About spreads…
Pre-Defined Spreads:
This are the typical spreads that you can find everywhere, the “Cards in specific sites mean exclusively this”. Like the “Past Present Future” spread or the “Celtic Cross”.
Tumblr media
These ones are pretty good to beginners because are easy to remember, have not so many variations and their structure made it easy to read, more if you have the guide of the cards close to you.
Of course, there are exceptions, like weird complex spreads as this one:
Tumblr media
The bad thing with the pre-defined spreads is that give little room to adapt the questions to our specific needs, so if the spread itself don’t have the “questions” you need, then lol…
Semi Open Spreads:
With the practice, you will maybe want to be more open and change the questions as the “form” of the spread remain the same. So instead “past, present and future” you can ask “yesterday, today and tomorrow” if you are not interested in check the far away past or future. So the idea of the meaning of the position of the card is the same, the variation come from the details of the question.
You also can just add cards to the spread. For example, instead of do the Wheel of the Year with one card each month, you can add one or two cards to add depth, or to see the bad and good thing of each month in particular.
Open Spreads:
In this case, the position and all is gone, and you just made up the spread accordingly your needs. For example, the “one card to answer a specific question” is one of this open spreads. But it can turn so complex or simple as you need. You want to add two more cards for details? A spread of 5 cards where the one in the middle is the important? A spread in which you use 20 cards in any position? Any question? The where, the what, the who, position, quantity… Is all up to you.
                  About Readings (or interpretation) …
Of the Book: This is the one people mostly use, the reading with the full guide on hand. Is great to when you can’t memorize a ton of details (specially if your deck is advanced with a ton of numbers and stuffs), pretty logic based, and, why lie? Is comfy and secure, you rely almost solely in what your cards say. I know, you will be like “As it should be, right?”, but I will touch that in the next, calm.
Intuition Mediated: Is pretty much as the book one but using the perception to change a little the meaning of the cards if they “feel” different. For example, in a spread with good cards, you have The Tower, which by the book is not a very good one, but the context of the spread was because you are going to a beach where is a lighthouse, so you feel The Tower is more a symbol of that lighthouse, than a bad omen. Is a good technique, it can bring info that’s outside the cards, but it demands be in touch with your perceptive side and very aware that unconsciously you can be changing the meaning of the cards, because the subjectivity of the mind see different things, and our minds hate the info that goes against our own beliefs.
Full Intuition/ Clair: The opposite of the book, the cards lost their main specific meaning and the reading depend fully in our perceptive side. This demand even more of our perceptive side or clairs, since the main info come from “us” and not from the cards. The cards are more a mirror of what we are detecting, so the reading become into an introspective research than just “read” them. In this way we can get info that we maybe couldn’t take from a logical reading, but also is even more affected by our own unconscious mind.
                 About the “Norms”:
There is a lot of bullshit about tarot, but also, DO WHAT SUIT YOU.
Some don’t believe in buy cards; others buy them all, others made their own.
Some use the major arcana only, others the minor too, normal deck, playing cards, oracles (which technically are not tarot), etc.
Some shuffle until a card slips away the deck and they pick that one, some shuffle until they feel enough, some shuffle and spread them all and watch until some call them.
Some don’t allow others touch it or cut the deck, some do.
Some don’t do a spread if is not over a specific cloth, or in their altar, some spread it even in the Mc Donald’s.
Some cleanse and charge the deck before and after use it, some only when they feel the deck “needs it”, some never.
Some have specific rituals with them, some put them names, some use different decks for different kind of questions or even day times.
Some use one deck and never mix them with other, some do a collage of cards (ehem… I use a playing deck, an oracle and runes in the SAME time lol).
If you like it, if it works for you, go ahead. The type of spread, the reading, anything. Is your craft. What you learn and read from books are important, yes, because only KNOWING, is when you can discern what is in tune with you and your needs.
The only norms I would suggest is: No cultural appropriation. And say “Thanks” is basic manners team.

I wanted to share that I have been working with the Good Omens tarot deck, and it is a great deck. The creators of it put a lot of thought and effort into it. I am not a skilled reader, but I asked for a card to represent Aziraphale and Crowley, and out popped the Duo card, synonymous to the Lovers card in the Major Arcana. How cool is that? Had other interesting responses as well!

i will make proper posts for both of them later but here is a brief rundown on the two d&d / bg3 ocs on this blog.
tallulah vaelfore - daughter of a tarot reader and fortune teller who works for the traveling troupe of magicians and minstrels, a carnival-type group that travels across faerûn. mother originally hails from zakhara, she never knew her father. tallulah picked up her mother’s skill for tarot and was left to inherit the position when her mom read her own cards (considered to be a bad omen) and disappeared into the desert the next day. 10 years later to the day, tallulah did the same thing to try and understand what happened. she dreamt of a halberd at the bottom of a lake and a voice calling to her, waking up the next day with the exact halberd and fish scales growing on her shoulder. she left the troupe and joined the clergy of umberlee after several clerics claim she was chosen, attempting to figure out if this is the case or a misunderstanding. she now floats between towns along the sword coast. (tallulah was the pc for a tomb of annihilation campaign a few years back, however out of respect for the DM and being happy where her story ended there, i will play her prior to visiting chult.)
laureline belgrave - the youngest and last of a once noble family. centuries ago, her family became obsessed with eternal life based on a vision her mother had, devising a ritual to keep their souls alive despite the condition of their bodies. this angered an aspect of death who came and cursed the family in various ways, gifting them with forms of immortality that would cause further madness. laureline, the only one not involved in the ritual, was cursed as a revenant - brought back to life whenever she died - and sent out to ensure that the ritual could never again be completed. she carries all scars and wounds from killing blows dealt to her. throughout her years of exploring and investigation, she has taken different names and different skill sets, joining the order of the ghostslayer around 25 years ago. her most recent alias is antonia bettencourt, a fighter from a waterdeep merchant family, which has been maintained for the last five years or so.
