Studio film, 1957 (Mario del Monaco, Leyla Gencer, Ettore Bastianini, Fedora Barbieri; conducted by Fernando Previtali) (no subtitles; read the libretto in English translation here)

Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor

New Year Tarot/Oracle Card Reading

I did a last minute card reading for the new year. Mom gave me a new deck for Christmas, so I figured I needed to break it in. Last time I did this, the theme was self-care. This time was...a bit different.

Here are all five cards I pulled. From top, moving clockwise, the decks I used are:

Animal Totem Tarot by Leeza Robertson

Fantasy Cats Oracle by Paolo Barbieri

Tarot Familiars by Lisa Parker

The Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron Reid

The Oracle by Calm Club

First card I asked "What is the theme of this year?" and I pulled the Nine of Cups, which is the butterfly. The butterfly is all about transformation, and not always an easy one. When a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it isn’t a pretty process. Change can be hard and you can’t always go back. This year is going to be one of transition, the end of one era and the start of a new one. And while the process might not be easy, the end result is something to look forward to.

The second card I asked "What do I need to focus on this year?" and pulled Sleeping. Which, yes, sleep is amazing. But this card is also about letting go and allowing myself to rest because I’ve earned it. My mind and body need rest and rejuvenation. Cats are the masters of letting go and being true to themselves. They sleep deep because they are true to themselves. 

For the third card I asked "What do I need to be aware of?" and pulled the Hands. This card encourages me to ask questions like who is reaching their hand out to me, and who am I reaching out to? Questions around relationships and if I am being supported and being supportive.

For the fourth card I asked “Who is guiding me?” and pulled the Starfish. The starfish is open to unlimited possibilities and urges me to reach past my limits and challenge myself. Who knows what will happen? When cynicism says no, starfish says yes, yes, yes. Open yourself to the power of dreaming big and don’t be limited.

My final card was from a new deck I got for Christmas. I asked “What is coming this year?” and pulled the Five of Wands. This card represents struggles, obstacles, and labor. I made the joke that, since it was spelt that way, it means I’m going to give birth, but that’s just hopeful thinking.

Overall, seems like this is going to be a year of changes. We're trying for a baby, so hopefully this is the year I become a mom, which would indeed be a big change!

Goblin King (Permafrost #2) by Kara Barbieri

Goblin King (Permafrost #2) by Kara Barbieri

Many thanks to Wednesday Books, St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for the ARC. This book is being released today November 17 2020.

Warning: There will be spoilers for White Stag (Permafrost #1) in this review.

My Rating: 2 stars

I picked up the first book in the Permafrost series, White Stag, last year with high hopes and ended up disappointed. While I did like Janneke as a protagonist…

I don’t understand why book tumblr is still sleeping on White Stag by Kara Barbieri. I need fanart and I’m not talented.

[trevenbran]

Barbieri tarot. Not really sure what to think of this one. I tend to avoid "portfolio decks" were an existing body of work is arranged in a way that vaguely resembles a tarot deck, but only if you squint. But this one needed a home, and I liked the empress. Oh, and the king of swords appears to be drizzt do'urden.

In this stunning sequel to White Stag, Janneke must find how far she's willing to go to save her world from destruction--even if it means sacrificing everything she's fought for. The Hunt is over but the War has just begun. Against all odds, Janneke has survived the Hunt for the Stag--but all good things come with a cost. Lydian might be dead, but he took the Stag with him. Janneke now holds the mantle, while Soren, now her equal in every way, has become the new Erlking. Janneke's powers as the new Stag has brought along haunting visions of a world thrown into chaos and the ghost of Lydian taunts her with the riddles he spoke of when he was alive. When Janneke discovers the truth of Lydian and his madness, she's forced to see her tormentor in a different light for the first time. The world they know is dying and Lydian may have been the only person with the key to saving it.
