DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
Tarot Reading: How About a Little Time Off?
Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009 at 09:22 pm
Deck: Housewives Tarot
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
Yesterday, after drawing the Cross+Tree+Mice daily, I decided to ask the Housewives what I need to know or do at this time instead of doing a general daily.
The cards are Emperor + Hermit + Fool
I always find it a bit amusing whenever my cards make it a point to reiterate something I’m already aware of except I happen to also be ignoring it for one reason or another. It almost makes me want to roll my eyes with a Yeah, yeah, I know. Tell me something else already! whine. But I did ask what I need to know or do at this time, so I’ll be good, shut up, and perhaps try not to ignore the solemn advice. Though of course, the Housewives don’t really go the solemn route anyway- except it felt the need to throw me 3 Majors in a row. ;p
Lenormand Reading: Speedy Results After Mountain
Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 03:18 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: General 3-Card Draw
I was flipping through my journal when I came across this mini reading I did last Friday but didn’t get the chance to post because I got really swamped by work. It played out in a very straightforward manner, and I thought I’d add it here for musing.
The cards are 17 Storks + 21 Mountain + 1 Rider
I was weighed down by a project I was supposed to finish by this past Monday… except I wasn’t making any progress at all. I was completely stuck, and I was beginning to seriously fear that I wasn’t going to get it done in time (or at all) which would be bad because my job is depending on this series of projects right now. I decided to ask whether there would be a breakthrough and I would somehow miraculously finish it in time.
Mountain itself in the middle definitely showed the state of things very well. Storks+Mountain further reinforces the setbacks and the slow progress I was experiencing. Rider’s movement coming at the end was optimistic as Mountain+Rider also means no more delay.
I was infinitely relieved to see that, though I’ll also admit that I was a bit dubious too because I was so stuck that I couldn’t imagine how I’d get out of the mess. Come Sunday morning, the kinks smoothed out bit by bit and I was suddenly cruising on green at high speed. I managed to finish what I couldn’t do for a whole week in one night of no sleep… and got it done by the deadline on Monday after all. How’s that for no more delay? :D I love it when the cards are right (which I should have trusted by now because they’ve yet to let me down).
Gypsy Cards: Judging and Evaluating Love
Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 03:23 am
Deck: Gipsy Fortune Telling Cards - Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten
Spread: General 5-Card Draw
I mentioned before that this blog would probably eventually be expanded to include various other oracle cards I use as well, so I thought it was about time I actually post something. I’ve just been a little wrapped up in the Lenormand lately as you all can see. :p
Anyhow, today I’m sharing a reading using the Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards (Zigeuner Wahrsagekarten). Like the Lenormand, there are 36 cards total but they’re not numbered nor do they have playing card insets. This was a reading I did last week as a complement to the Lenormand “try-out” reading I tested with my Journey spread (which I’ll also be adding soon).
The cards are Death + Sadness + Loss + Some Money + Judge
The topic is a general reading regarding love (look, not about work! lol). Once you see my Lenormand and Tarot reading using the Journey spread, I’m sure you’ll understand my feeling of dry amusement when I saw these cards. Well, at the very least, the cards sure know how to drill the same message home regardless which oracle or deck.
New Deck Reading: Housewives Tarot
Posted on Sunday, May 31, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Deck: Housewives Tarot
I got The Housewives Tarot a few months ago but, for various reasons, haven’t had the chance to truly sit down and spend some time with them until today- which is a real shame because I absolutely love this deck. (I’ll put together another post to talk about the deck soon.) For now, though, it’s time for another one of my “new deck” intro reading. :D
I usually use a spread with specific position/question assignments for this type of reading, but I thought I’d keep it loose like the one I did to ask about my Lenormand journey. So! Just a general 3-card draw, asking how my relationship with the Housewives deck would be like:
The cards are 2 of Wands + King of Wands + 5 of Wands
I had to laugh the moment I took a good look at these three cards. Well, this deck definitely knows how to get right to the heart of the matter and in quite a practical sense too!
Lenormand Reading: Things Looking Up at Work?
Posted on Friday, May 29, 2009 at 03:11 am
Deck: Blue Owl - Lenormand
Spread: Line of Five
With all the readings I’ve been doing regarding work, I’m sure it’s obvious by now that I’m having a lot of issues in that area. I’m at the last stretch though, and depending on how everything turns out, I may either end up leaving the company or possibly “end” what I was doing and get promoted or something similar. I know that sounds contradicting, but the situation is rather complicated.
I’ve recently just finished up the 1st phase of a major mock-up and proposal for a project that we’ve been working on for over a year only to be demolished completely by my liar of a manager’s horrible misdoings. Depending on how well this is received, it’s basically the decisive point for a lot of issues including my position within the company… so in short, it’s very important, and I’ve barely slept all week just trying to complete it.
I sent the files out to G, who is a key figure within the company and also someone who has been helping me greatly in this whole mess. He was the one who gave me this opportunity and assignment, as well as the person who would coordinate with my department head about all this in order to come up with the final verdict. However, I haven’t heard back from him at all after 2 days, which is very strange for him because he’s been waiting for this and is also usually very good at getting back to me immediately. I’m a bit worried, so I drew some cards to ask why I haven’t heard from him yet- with a bit of timing thrown in, as well as the circumstances surrounding the topic. Here’s what I have:
The cards are 28 Gentleman + 17 Storks + 2 Clover + 14 Fox + 31 Sun
NOTE! This entry has been updated with additional results and feedback!
