　　　　　　　— 　 WHAT TAROT CARD ARE YOU?

you are DEATH.

A cheery woman’s voice chimes from above. "Game over! Please restart and try again." The old woman holds a baby in her arms and makes to pass it to you. Will you take it?

what ghost haunts you?

the ghost of your bloodline.

you were doomed from the start, weren’t you? born to bend yourself to the will of a bloodline that sneers at every effort you take towards betterment. you are stained by the hand of your father, your mother, perhaps a family member that looms over your weary shoulders. the first grave is the childhood home, after all. you can escape all you wish. your body can leave the home, the state, the country, but you will always be haunted by what raised you. when chelsea dingman wrote, “i have been trying to go home my entire life.” when graham greene wrote, “from childhood i had never believed in permanence, and yet i had longed for it.” when oscar wilde wrote, “a burnt child loves the fire.”

what type of ancient greek love are you?

pragma [longstanding love]

although it is the least commonly used, considering it is speculated to be of newer origins than greek context, pragma is the balance of love; the act of mutual participation and compromise. if given this result, you likely honor loyalty and commitment in a relationship. not only that but also favor the words: 'till death, do us part.'

your card is — DEATH.

you need rest. more than anything, you must allow yourself rest. death is frightening– it is inevitable, it is unstoppable– but, it can also be a thing of great beauty. it is an agent of change. it is the forest fire that paves way for new life. allow yourself this rest, and be prepared for the change to come. brace yourself. it will be hard, it will not be kind, but you are more than ready. you just need to rest first.

WHEN DO YOU GAZE AT YOUR SOULMATE?

when they're working

see this is what you love most. their eyes light up and no one can do it quite like them. whether they are a fighter or a healer. whether they are full of grace and gentle poise, or brute strength and wild energy, you love them when they are at their purest form. raw and unfettered. unadulterated by social cues and careful masks we all wear. when they are just them, trusting their instincts, using their experience, relying on the skills they earned. this is when you heart swells with pride. and you can never decide if you want to interrupt them and draw them into your arms with a hungry, appreciative kiss. or if you could sit there and quietly observe them for hours with more satisfaction than anything physical could bring.

WHAT CRYSTAL ARE YOU?

snowflake obsidian

you are all grit and closed fists. you refuse to let anything in through the cracks of your armor. YOU WOULD BURN THE WORLD TO PROTECT THOSE YOU LOVE. the heart of a warrior burns in your chest. and it also weighs your shoulders down. what is the price for being so strong? what have you sacrificed to make yourself feel safe? when was the last time you let someone see your soul? when was the last time you let someone see you and not just the masks you hide behind? not everything must be a fight.

ARE YOU A SOLDIER, A POET, OR A KING?

THE SOLDIER.

"There will come a soldier / Who carries a mighty sword / He will tear your city down" Righteousness. Strength. Violence. You see a door and break through it. You wonder, sometimes, if anger is the only thing you can feel. Remember : love is passion too. You made your own rules and will follow them to death. You try and forget that there is only one rule, and that it is "FIGHT". You are tired of fighting. You try to forget that, too, and keep going. You dream of quiet. Your love is where you heal. God knows you deserve to. (Really. You deserve to.)

Where Does Your Power Lie?

the mouth.

sharp teeth, sharper tongue, all growl and bark and bite, bite, bite. your power is gritted teeth and set jaws, quick and powerful words, decisive actions. everything you do is so personal and vulnerable - the way you love, the way you are loved, the way you attack, the way you drink in and feast on life.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠?

𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄.

"i survived because the fire in me burned brighter than the fire around me."

oh, little soldier, how long have you been at war with yourself? how much of yourself have you lost to the fire that's made its home in your heart? oh, but who can blame you? for as long as you can remember, you've had to face the world alone. all bared teeth and bloody knuckles. you learned young the only person you could rely on was yourself, didn't you? learned that the others would leave you to the wolves? and so you learned how to fight, how to stand tall even if you stood alone, how to shed the softness that wounded you before.

but that isn't very sustainable, is it? the embers you swallowed, the fire you cloaked yourself in, it doesn't just burn the world around you. you have watched piece after piece of you go up in smoke: your hope, your smile, your mercy. what you seek is an end to the seemingly endless burning. and, little phoenix, you deserve it. please, breathe out. lean on me. the world isn't as cruel as you've made it out to be: it is okay to stop fighting. it is okay to let go of that anger. there is so much more to you, so much more that you have. the serenity you seek can be granted, but only once you are willing to work on letting go of the hate you've harbored for so long now.

[zorkaya-moved]

what does your heart look like?

broken, missing pieces that once were there

Your heart has been torn before, chipped and maybe even shattered. Some pieces will never be recovered, and you are shaped by the loss. But it can still be shaped into something tangible, something good, even with its flaws and imperfections. You don’t have to do all the work of rebuilding by yourself. Allow other hands to leave their fingerprints on the new heart you create from the remnants.

what is it you want from love?

you want... yearning.

restless minds at night and listening to melancholic songs in the dark while thinking of them. you spent so much time loving while going unloved that you’ve found comfort in it. it’s the only way you know how to, your heart learned to love in the same beat you learned to lie about it and you’ve found a home in the unrequited.

[zorkaya-moved]

WHAT'S PECULIAR ABOUT YOUR SOUL?

Your soul is... Pristine.

... Do not consider it a compliment. There is something deep and awful hidden beneath that gleaming coat. Years of harrowing actions- malicious decisions and excruciating consequences- have worn this vessel thin. It pulses weakly, its exterior eroded from all the years spent scrubbing at it, removing even the most minuscule specks of wrongdoing. Creating perfection at the cost of learning from such mistakes, however painful. You wonder if you ever would have been liked for who you really were. You understand that there is no going back and finding out.

which unpopular archetype are you?

the higher power

you’re the best, you’ve always been the best, and now everyone who’s ever doubted you is gone. you’ve gotten everything you wanted. you smoked all your competition. but something inside of you just won’t settle. all the evil of the world is still out there, all the big problems that you never got around to. in spite of your skill, this is something you simply can’t handle yourself. but that’s ok. you’ve got new, shiny pawns to play with. you know how to make people do what you want. the ends justify the means, right?
