So guess what just came in the mail today! (Err well not technically today as I was out of country but y’all know what I mean!)

That’s my copy of the 2nd edition Oracle Dice by @publishinggoblin, as you might know by my posts I am a big fan of Tarot and tarot adjacent practices but I also a big fan of the first oracle dice which I got as an add-on in one @publishinggoblin’s previous crowdfunding campaigns (believe it was for The Narmol Tarot 2nd Edition) which I absolutely adored. Haven’t really posted it much about it mostly because it more than an other form divination seems to almost gleefully cut to the heart of things and hit nothing but nerves, but not in a bad way? Honestly don’t know how to explain it, it’s just the reading we’re always intensely personal and raw, so I never felt comfortable posting about my readings with them.

Anyways, when this 2nd edition was announced I backed it almost immediately at the Etched in Stone tier, to get those fancy dice made of, you probably guessed it stone. So I’ve decided to do this rambling review first impression thing for… well anyone who wants it!

First a look at the mat

The very that jumps out at me is what an improvement it is over the first one! Not to say the first mat is bad, the things takes center stage of my tarot reading and in fact has shaped it radically I love it to bits but the design of this new mat is just 💋.

Plus the texture is just fantastic, has that fantastic smooth silky thing going that I just love to glide my hand along.

And then there is the second side, while the loss of the rubber bottom to prevent slippage is regrettable this second reading space is wonderful. I haven’t even cracked open the guide to see the traditional use and interpretations but I am already feeling inspired. I cannot wait to get started, and I have a distinct feeling this may well be taking over as the centerpiece of my divination practice going forward.

Now then, onto what is probably the main event, the Dice

Ahhhhhh they’re so preety 😍 As a reminder these are the fancier Etched in Stone tier dice, each is made of a different stone and the faces are all etched in and inked and look absolutely stunning in person. Just holding them is a treat and the noise they make when you shakey-shakey them in preparation for a throw is fantastic. I fear now that I have experienced non-plastic dice I will never be able to go back, I have yet to even properly cast them but I love them already.

But wait, there’s more!

There were two Oracle decks on offer so of course I had to get both.

On the right we got the Dice Face Oracle which turn each dice face into its own individual card along with a guide to reading them as cards, but also encourages you to read them as their dice versions meaning you have options when performing readings and I love that shit, there is nothing that I love more than a reading that evolves and shifts the more you stare and stew on it. Also every one of the dice face icons are excellently designed and having them in a bigger blown up form is wonderful.

On the left we got the 22 card Lords of Oracle deck. Each of the dice has its own lord who is an embodiment of their die with their own lore and my god I love this art! I can absolutely see myself pulling one of these cards and having on of these lords color a reading in a completely new light, the potential is just breathtaking.

And last but certainly not least, the tomes.

I haven’t had a chance to truly sit down and read the guide, but from a quick skimming it is still written in the same easy to understand way as the 1st edition. The first edition was a fantastic guide to a admittedly complex divination practice and as long as this second edition continues that with the new dice it is a welcome edition to the books I reference on the regular, plus having page size version of the Lords of Oracle art is just wonderful.

The reading journal is a fantastically designed tool especially for those beginning with these dice. I would have loved something like this for when I started with the first edition as it was a tad bit overwhelming with it’s… everything. I will most certainly be making use of it

Righto, that’s my first impressions/ review of the Oracle Dice 2nd edition done. Will be trying a few reading when I have a chance and will hopefully remember to talk about is here! So if you got any questions or if I forget to talk about the reading experience feel free to textually yell about it here or in my ask box, see y’all!

[witchw0lvesnwist]

Hey, 😊 this is my Feedback. The reading is so accurate. You understand very well my feelings. You know that I am very anxious, but as you gave me advice, I will try to be more optimistic and open minded for new things in my life. Thank you! 🥰

Thank you again for choosing me to assist 🙏🏽 blessed be! Always have faith in yourself! You are the only person who can make things in your life happen. Change & all

"Mermaids Oracle Deck and Guidebook: Wisdom, Insight, and Enlightenment from the Legendary Creatures of the Sea" by Melissa Maxwell and Paula Zorite

Recently, I had received this oracle deck. It is based on the a many folklore and mythology of waterpeople and their wisdom or finsights.

Note that cartomancy is different for everyone and may only be used as reflection for topics that are not too sea-rious. For anything that requires actual help from knowledgeable people, such cards cannot be a substitute for that at all. I had already detailed this in a previous entry on the "Mermaid's Purse Oracle".

I have quite many of such aquatic cartomancy decks and I think this one is my favorite so far. It shares so much fin-formation and knowledge that can be fished out of the folklore surrounding waterpeople. This deck is shrimp-ilar in the tides of some literature that reflect the wisdom of folkloric waterfolk such as "Mermaid Wisdom" by Brenda Rosen or "A Mermaid's Tale" by Amanda Adams. It is shell-tacular, for it even dives into lesser-known waterpeople like the Gurindji karukayn that many may not know of. The deck has such a wide sea of folklore from the global waters which is utterly amazing. Many other cartomancy decks also depict diverse waterfolk from the entire world, but this one bases it on the actual folklore and mythology of the people. It also covers some literary waterfolk like the Little Mermaid and I really appreciate that it is also detailed how it is literary and not necessarily traditionally folkloric. However, it even dives into the fin-sight of fabricated waterfolk like the Feejee Mermaid hoax which I adore. I am someone who likes to think a lot and the card which is shown is so fin-tastically depicted of how one should question and rethink some aspects in life. From what I know of now, it is one of my favorite cards in the deck! It depicts this wisdom in such an elegant tide. The artwork by Paula Zorite portrays the waterpeople so amazingly and accurately, I am awe-finspired!

Much knowledge is ascribed from them according to the folklore of the past, but some may be newer tides of fin-terpretation. I adore it, yet know that such may not represent the more "traditional" aspects of a waterperson. Still and all, folklore has always been changeable and adapted to more contemporary tides and that is how it survives in the first tide. The German nix has "Forgiveness" as his ascribed fin-sight, yet he can also be dangerous. What I do not very much appreciate is that it seems to reduce some symbolism only to one aspect meanwhile many waterpeople are multifaceted and cannot be reduced to one aspect. However, such wisdom is not fished from unclear waters at all. The wisdom is understandable and may aid one very well. One can always fin-terpret for oneself and encompass the other aspects of a waterperson that may not be listed in this oracle deck.

What I do not think I will get to understand may be why so much media surrounding waterfolk is only named after the mermaids. This deck tells of mermen and many others. I assume it may sometimes have to do with discoverability since mermaids are usually commonly regarded by the majority when thinking of waterpeople which is quite of an obvious observation. Sometime I shall expand my streams of thoughts of that topic here.

The only real critique I have is that this deck does not list any sources in the guidebook. Many claims are still accurate to my knowledge, but some are not such as the ancient Greek sirens who are described to be mermaids meanwhile that is only true much later in history. That same author also wrote "The Little Encyclopedia of Mermaids" which I had reviewed in an earlier entry and some sources listed in it fin-cluded Wikipedia, which is not the most reliable source in most tides, yet I still think that the author did re-sea-rch properly to an extent! This deck is the best cartomancy oracle surrounding the fin-sights in the mythology and folklore of waterfolk. The deck has a very prominent focus on the folkloric or mythological wisdom of waterfolk and that is why I adore it so much. Other decks like "Oracle of the Mermaids" by Lucy Cavendish dive into some folkloric aspects of waterpeople like so, yet not all too much, usually only for some cards. "Mermaids and Dolphins and Magical Creatures of the Sea" by Gillian Kemp has a primary focus on folkloric waterpeople, but mostly only European ones. That one does not cite any sources whatsoever and got some strange claims swimming in its text such as that the Inuit Sedna rides on a "golden chariot", which I have never read about before, yet overall that deck still has much value alongside.

Thanks for diving into me and my sea.

PAC: Messages from the Fairies🧚🏼‍♀️ You asked for them and they are here ✨

Masterlist -Paid Readings-Paid Readings Reviews-PAC Readings

Choose your pile intuitively. Take what resonates and leave the other things. If you think this reading is not for you then choose another pile. If still it doesn't resonate then this might not be your reading. There are Three Piles.

Hello Pile 1~~~

Okay pile 1, the full moon is approaching us soon and we have your first card as Moon Eneregy tells me that this full moon might be important to you and your energy. You might be the pile who gets affected a lot by the full moon and its energies. The Fairies are asking you to put your intention on Full Moon towards everything you want and have been manifesting. The fairy of the moon appears when we have too many thoughts and we are struggling to sort them out. The New Moon phase is the perfect time to plant the seed of a wish you may have. This might also open a Magical Gateway for you (as shown in the second card). Pile 1, you are entering a new life and a new portal has been created for you. You are being asked to be more courageous than you already are and step into the new reality. Leave everything behind that is no longer serving you. If you believe in reality shifting, this is a message from the Fairies that you are shifting realities whether or not you have been doing it consciously. The Fairies are asking you to be a little gentle on yourself these days because you need love and the love should be coming from yourself to yourself. Fairies are also asking you to reach your friends for help(if you have and believe them fully) otherwise new Friends are entering your life once you cross this portal. I heard something about your Soul tribe too, if someone here has been wondering where are their people then my love your people are coming for you. You have been alone enough and now it's time for you to shine ✨Also, the Fairies are reminding you that they are always by your side, you just need to call their name and they will sprinkle their magic.

If this resonates with you, book a personal reading with me :)

Hello Pile 2~~~

Oh wow Pile 2, we are starting from the Friendship card. Are you here from Pile 1 or perhaps you should check Pile 1 in case you are called to. Well, your messages from the Fairies are also about reaching out to more people if you need help. My love, I know you have the habit of doing everything alone and feeling everything alone but Fairies are here to remind you that you don't have to be lonely. Try to reach out to more people if possible, you never know who is also waiting for you to reach out. Never leave regrets for anyone (?). Friends can offer advice that can give us hope and another point of view. It could also be time to make new friends and leave the people behind if you don't resonate with them anymore. If you are called to practice Divination, fairies are here to remind you that you don't have special abilities or tools to practice it. If you don't have Taror/Oracle decks, practice them on your own. The Fairy reminds you that you can also use Divination to help you through challenging times and circumstances. Also a message for specific someone- if you have been skeptical about getting a reading for yourself through a Tarot reader and you have been struggling to find someone, you can call the Fairies and connect with your intuition more and it will guide you to the right person. Anything can be used for divination purposes: cards, crystals, clouds, coffee, tea, etc. If you are called to do it, then you can always proceed. The Lost and Found Fairy is here to help you find something that you might have lost recently or even if you are feeling lost..this Fairy is here to help you find it. This also serves as a reminder that it's okay to lose things and yourself sometimes, just make sure that you always find your way back home- to yourself. ✨

If this resonates with you, book a personal reading with me :)

Hello Pile 3~~~

The first thing that came into my mind was the dialogue from the famous kdrama- The Sound of Magic and its dialogue- "Do you believe in Magic" ( 아저씨. 마술을 믿으세요?). So my love ask yourself this question do you believe in Magic because even though we cannot see the magic, it exists among us. In our everyday lives and even in mundane moments, magic is everywhere. The Fairies are here to remind you also to believe in the magic that is inside you. Believe in yourself. Also, if someone wants to see the Northern Light or Aurora take this reading as a sign and go watch it if you can. You might find yourself there now or in the future. As the text says on the card "Open your eyes and see the magic that's all around in nature". The fairies are calling you into nature, also I heard "touch some grass" which could literally translate into going into nature and touching some grass. You need it, my love. You could be so much into your head and you need some freshness and nature can give you the clarity you have been looking for. If you have been struggling with manifestation or manifesting things for yourself (I know I have been ) then the Fairies are here to tell you that one of the simplest manifestation techniques is to write down whatever you want and then surrender to them or the Universe. Be sure to keep a lookout for any fairy signs that you might get along and follow their advice. Same as Pile 1, new Beginnings are on the Horizon for sure. You might not see it now but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist just like the Magic. Your Pile has the Fairy Godmother herself and she is here to remind you not to give up, not now. Your precious dreams and wishes will soon attract a new opportunity and growth period for you. This is also a reminder that all of your Spirit Gudies are near you and are helping you ✨

If this resonates with you, book a personal reading with me :)

Thank you and Love,

The Perfect Tarot Deck

Finding the perfect tarot deck is a deeply personal journey. With thousands of decks available, choosing one that aligns with your energy, intuition, and reading style can make all the difference in your tarot practice. This guide explores different types of tarot decks, where to find them, and how to determine if a deck resonates with your energy.

Understanding the Different Types of Tarot Decks

Before choosing a deck, it’s important to understand the different types available.

Traditional tarot decks

Most tarot decks follow one of these three classic systems:

• Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) – The most widely used tarot system, featuring detailed imagery that makes intuitive readings easier. Ideal for beginners.

• Thoth Tarot – Created by Aleister Crowley, this deck has esoteric symbolism, astrology, and Kabbalistic influences. Best for those with advanced occult interests.

• Marseille Tarot – A historic tarot deck with simple, pip-style Minor Arcana (like playing cards). Ideal for traditionalists and those interested in historical divination.

Themed and Artistic Decks

Many tarot decks incorporate different themes and artistic styles:

• Fantasy, Mythology, and Folklore – E.g., The Tarot of the Divine, which uses myths from around the world.

• Gothic, Dark, or Occult – E.g., The Deviant Moon Tarot, perfect for shadow work.

• Nature & Animal-Based Decks – E.g., The Wild Unknown Tarot, focused on nature’s wisdom.

• Pop Culture & Modern Decks – E.g., The Modern Witch Tarot, a contemporary take on the RWS deck.

Oracle Decks vs. Tarot Decks

Tarot decks always follow a structured 78-card system. Oracle decks have flexible structures and meanings, great for freeform divination but not interchangeable with tarot. If you’re new, sticking to a tarot deck based on the RWS system is a good idea before branching into alternative styles.

Where to Find Your Perfect Deck

Once you have an idea of what kind of deck you want, you’ll need to find the right place to get it.

Online Marketplaces & Specialty Stores

• Amazon, Etsy, & Bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, etc.) – Great for mass-market decks with reviews to help you decide.

• Independent Creators & Publishers – Many artists sell decks directly on Kickstarter, Instagram, or their own websites.

• Metaphysical & Occult Shops – Shopping in-person allows you to physically handle a deck before buying.

Secondhand & Gifted Decks

• Buying Used Decks – Some believe secondhand decks carry previous owners' energies, but cleansing them can refresh their energy.

• Receiving as a Gift – A common superstition says your first deck should be gifted, but this is not a rule. Buy your own if it feels right.

DIY & Printable Decks

• Make Your Own – Some practitioners create their own decks by hand or digitally print custom images.

• Printable Decks – Some artists offer PDF tarot decks for purchase and printing at home.

How to Tell If a Tarot Deck Resonates with Your Energy

Once you have a deck in mind, you’ll want to check if it aligns with your energy and intuition.

First Impressions Matter

• Look at the imagery – Do the colors, symbols, and style speak to you emotionally?

• Hold the deck (if possible) – If shopping in person, feel the deck in your hands. Does it give you a strong reaction?

The Deck Interview Spread

Before fully committing to a deck, try a short reading to understand its personality. Use this 5-card spread:

• What is your personality?

• What kind of readings will we do best together?

• What can you teach me?

• How should I best work with you?

• What is our long-term potential?

If the responses feel clear and meaningful, the deck likely resonates with you.

Physical & Energetic Sensations

Some people feel a tingling or warmth when holding a deck that connects with them.

If a deck makes you feel uneasy or drained, it might not be a good fit.

Try a Simple One-Card Pull

Ask, “What do I need to know about working with you?” and pull a card. If the message is clear and insightful, it’s a good match. If it feels confusing or off-putting, you may need more time with the deck—or it might not be the right one for you.

What to Do If Your Deck Doesn’t Feel Right

Sometimes, a deck doesn’t resonate immediately. Here’s what you can do:

• Cleanse and Reset the Deck

• Smoke cleansing (sage, palo santo, or incense).

• Moonlight charging (place the deck under the full moon).

• Crystal cleansing (place with selenite or clear quartz).

• Knocking the deck (tap it three times to reset energy).

Give It Time

Some decks require time to bond with. Spend a week shuffling and pulling daily cards before deciding.

Trade or Rehome the Deck

If it still doesn’t click, consider trading it with another reader or gifting it to someone who might connect with it better.

Finding the perfect tarot deck is a journey of intuition and self-discovery. The best deck for you is the one that feels right in your hands, speaks to your intuition, and makes readings feel natural. Whether you’re drawn to a traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck, an artistic indie creation, or a secondhand find, trust your instincts and let your deck choose you as much as you choose it.

How to Handle Difficult Spirit Communication

UPG Warning: All of this information comes from my personal practice and is not universally true.

To start, spirit communication can be challenging when done solely through divination, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. For beginners, I suggest researching how to sense and perceive spirits. After a while you'll likely begin to develop your own personal methods.

That being said, you don't need to have highly developed spiritual perception in order to communicate. This is where divination comes in. It can be difficult and sometimes frustrating but the more you practice, the easier it will become.

Let's dive into some of the common causes of unsuccessful spirit communication:

You don't know who you're reaching out to or why.

I think this happens more often among beginner practitioners. It was definitely one of my first mistakes when starting. You want to get into spirit work so you dust off your divination tools and start searching for the first spirit willing to talk to you. This IME has resulted in spotty or inconsistent communication and downright unpleasant experiences.

You should know why you're opening channels for communication. Are you attempting to contact a specific individual? Are you searching for a spirit guide or familiar? Are you seeking information or help with a working? Maybe you just want to honor your house or local land spirits. Maybe you suspect that a spirit is trying to get your attention and you want to find out why.

Whatever the reason, you want to make sure that you have a vague idea of who you're contacting and what your intentions are. One thing that I've found when reaching out without direction is that sometimes several unrelated spirits will come through, tying up the lines and confusing the reading.

Divination method is too limiting.

Some spirits prefer specific divination methods so it's important to experiment. Not getting results while using the pendulum? Try something else, like automatic drawing/writing, shufflemancy, or scrying. Tarot meanings not lining up? Try reading the images or elements and numbers instead, or adding an oracle deck to the mix.

I find that using two or more techniques at one time yields the best results. This includes asking for signs and performing dream work or spirit travel.

Results are being overlooked

I always make sure to write down results during divination. Otherwise it's very easy to miss out on key information. Let's say that I'm doing some bare bones spirit identification. I choose to use tarot and shufflemancy. During the session I notice that I'm pulling a lot of wand cards and many of the songs mention fire in some way. So, okay, now I know that this spirit is likely connected to the element fire. Good enough for now.

The next day I ask a follow-up question and don't get any results. This is when I would go back to my notes and review them. It's possible that my question was answered during the previous session and I had overlooked it while focusing on the more obvious information (the fire themes), and the spirit is frustrated with having to repeat themselves.

Questions are too broad or too restrictive.

Let's go back to general identification. I break out my tarot cards and ask, "Who am I speaking with?" and the cards that I pull aren't making sense. In my opinion this question is too direct and open-ended. I might want to rephrase it and ask something like "Which of the images on these cards best represent your preferred form?".

If successful, I would at least have a general idea of appearance and go from there. I might take note of additional details like the suit of the card, it's elemental and planetary correspondence, and assigned meaning.

I would avoid yes/no questions completely. In my personal experience they're always inconsistent, frustrating, and require a lot of guesswork.

Certain actions are required for contact.

Depending on context, culture, folklore, personal path, etc., some spirits may require that you perform a certain ritual or provide an offering before they will speak or work with you.

Now I'm not suggesting you leave offerings for just any random spirit, but there are some situations where it's appropriate. If contacted by an unknown spirit, for example, I would skip all forms of veneration and go straight to divination. But if I were to try and work with, let's say the spirit of my local river, I would have my offering ready before introduction.

You're communicating too often.

Just like any activity, spirit work takes energy. Overdoing it can and will result in burn-out.

If your attempts at communication are unsuccessful you might just need a break. Make sure to step back often and focus your attention elsewhere, like self-care, socialization, and hobbies. Answers will often present themselves after or even during a period of rest.

🤍Feedback🤍

I thank you so much for this reading and how empathizing and helpful you were to me🤍 In general I felt a bit better after talking to you since I have some struggles and bad mood rn.

The reading really resonated and also gave me more hope and more certainty. I wasn't feeling like I was on the right path lately and you telling me that I am now and that better times are coming (which I know but sometimes it feels like the bad times will never end and I tend to forget) really lifted my mood. Also about the share of my talents, resources and being open with my heart to others Is fitting since I actually want to be myself and share my love with others which is really hard, it makes me think sometimes to just close myself up again, which hurts me since I actually don't want to but sometimes I am doubting myself and just close myself up to protect me. But knowing that my Idea and push towards opening my heart up to people isn't just a dumb Idea/pull but actually somewhat my destiny and ehat I am supposed to do is just encouraging and motivating me more to not be afraid to just let loose and be pure self🤍 Also the same for the intuition part. Sometimes I forget to really pay attention to it or It happens that I just ignore it out of uncertainty or because I think it's not THAT important which I am already planning to stop and avoid to do for a year now because my intuition is always right and really helpful to me and I just want to listen and fully trust it. And breaking free from ego is also something I am working on!

Also about informations and signs. I always pay so much attention to these and I always get kind of "downloads" but sometimes I am just thinking that I am dramatic or maybe just exaggerating and crazy about the stuff being signs and everything and I wasn't sure If I really get informations and signs about situations and people but now with the messages you gave me I feel more confident about this!!! Thank you🤍

I am also strictly protecting my peace and I always NEED quiet time to let things that happened sink in and to think what to do next or to analyze things and I do get messages there. I am actually so happy that all these themes appeared in your reading which confirms all those important points to me I was actually thinking about. I wasn't really expecting that🥰

Your reading is really helping me to keep moving forward and to what I need to pay attention. I am doing and having the right things in mind and I know that now. Thank you so much🫶🏼 wishing you all the best🍀✨️🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much for your feed back I’m glad I can help! It was my pleasure to be able to help guide you! Blessed be!

"The Mermaid's Purse Oracle" by Olivia Rose

Yesterday, I received this shell-tacular oracle deck. It deeply resonates with me. While I have a variety of aquatic card decks, this is one of my favorites of all.

I want to clarify that such oracle decks can mean many different thoughts to people. Some can only appreciate the art or the messages, some can both. These are not meant to be substitutes for anything serious like life decisions and only meant as supporting guides, reflection and sometimes clarification for me at least. They are not works of anything supernatural. I do not base my decisions solely on such cards. They should not define me and be a definite tide of guidance. Instead, if one uses them in a similar tide, many cards can be fin-terpreted by oneself and only bring more reflection or clarity into a case, for in our subconscious we may already know the answer deep down. These may show some new ideas or perspectives one may not have surfaced in one's mind to help with one's own topics. The cards are often good self-reflection tools, but should not replace other means of help such as advice from educated ones as aforementioned for anything serious. Such cards do not even have to be used for guidance, but can be used as affirmations with short messages or their art can also just be appreciated. It is still important to not only use such cards to promote rather difficult tides of thinking such as positive messages of hope that may undermine one's true negative emotions and situations. I use them to explore my sea further and not to swim on the surface to avoid my actual feelings below the waves. Anyhow, this is only my own sea of thoughts. This topic in of itself is as vast as an ocean itself, so please keep that in mind.

The art of Olivia Rose in the general tide is very enchanting, breathtaking, graceful, sublime, rather complex or ambiguous, and surreal in a glamorous tide. It is somewhat abstract and allows one's mind to finterpret in larger waves. The majority of this deck looks like as if the radiant aquatic world is bioluminescent in the deep sea which I crave. Some researchers claim that life originates from hydrothermal vents in the deepest waters of our planet and fin general the depths may reflect the depths of our world and our minds. Everything is so complex and ambiguous, which is beautiful since it is diverse. If everything would be "shallow", it would not be an expansive experience here. Only one presiding force or idea may not allow others to flourish, controlling everything. If one oneself would be "shallowly" thinking, one would not think through everything that may swim across. One could get caught by the wrong, unforeseen current and be swept off. Some cards such as Clarity have colorful parts of the seascape, making a powerful distinction of the card's message for me, for almost every other card the background is dark like the deep sea.

The deck itself was created with the fin-tention to be a guide in one's life when one's waters would be stagnant and if one would be lost in such. As of now, my waters are quite stagnant and murky. No currents swim by to drag the uncontrollable debris out of my own stagnant life stream. Some sundries have changed with some currents, yet not for the best. This month I had to visit the funeral of a grandparent who I lost suddenly out of the blue... despite them having been healthy. Other people I knew left me alongside since last year already. Such currents can wash one away into quite murky waters. This and last year alone, I had many of such currents and still have many persisting ones. Fin regards to my creative works I have been rather stagnant alongside. I began expanding my creative works, hoping to develop and expand my horizon above my sea, yet it has not very much to my liking or what I expected. I tend to spiral into vortexes of negative thoughts which I have fought to escape from. And I fear that if I do not swim against it, then I will be swept away to the negative, deserted bottom of the sea where I cannot escape from forever. I tend to get furious over aspects I cannot change meanwhile I should dive into my own mind and change myself, often to not much of an avail. While waters may be calm and sea-rene in a stagnant state, it does not allow room for experience. We need it to grow and reflect upon ourselves. However, it is somewhat ironic since usually I despise change, but only if something changes for the worst. A still lake may be calming, but parasites and bacteria can breed there in larger quantities than in a running stream, those are known as "stagnant waters" and often pose environmental hazards in life. Similar to how certain stagnant systems can restrict other people and not enable diverse minds to surface with the changing tides of time. A running stream is vital, for it is life and is the water that makes a calm lake in the first tide. Moving currents are that what keep the ocean alive. We must keep breathing and our hearts must keep moving, otherwise we are washed away. I want to experience and learn for the sake of it. And I want to create. While it is difficult, I will keep on swimming and try to improve. While some currents may not aid me, I will stay resilient in my waters until I may be able to surface from them and the pollution that pesters me and my sea! Attempt to fight pollution in a sea, literally and mentally! One cannot swim in it forever. Still and all, when something is out of one's control, sometimes one has to accept it and change what one can do on one's own, depending on context, yet do not lose all hope. Hope can resurface.

Those cards I pulled really resonate with my situation, Change and Acceptance. I wish that I can accept that the world may change not for my best and the sea can never be tamed, yet that I can still change sea-rtain aspects for the better which I can change by myself. Later pulled cards fin-clude Closed and Communication. Now, I am quite like a closed seashell or a hermit crab hiding in its shell. It reflects my current state in clear waters. Communication is what I do here, sharing my siren song. Despite me not feeling that I am in stagnant waters regarding my work, especially in regards to being acknowledged, I am glad that I can make anything at all and that some acknowledge what I do. I am so grateful for all those who have been there for me and are there for me. Fin regards to this blog, I began these entries to share my voice and thoughts on my fin-terests. I hope that anything I create can be bene-fish-ial to some.

So many of these cards hold fin-tastic messages. The Past card's message of how the past is still valuable uses the nautilus as an example of how ancient the creature is while still persisting into present tides! Oh sacred Oannes. There also came some stickers and more. I put the stickers into the oracle box since they look like sublime windows in a castle.

As a side-note, the aquatic world of this deck is reminiscent of the videogame Aquaria by BitBlot, the first ever videogame I ever got to witness. It is peculiar, surreal, and wonderful like the deep sea. The starfish with eyes that are depicted on some cards seem similar to those eyed starfish that come from the upper, brighter waters of Aquaria. Upon being awakened, those shoot stars from themselves at Naija, the watermaid of the story in Aquaria. Since this game speaks to me very much, this oracle does alongside. If one finds fin-terest, please consider diving into Aquaria. It is a not so well-known thoughtful experience and a poignant work of art.

This somewhat strange or otherwordly, yet sublime and almost ethereal aquatic surrealism is stellar in this oracle. When I sea such imagery I rethink about how peculiar, yet wonderful our world is. Selcouth, meaning strange in the earlier English language, also describes it very well. For fin-stance, when I think of any extraterrestrial creature that looks surreal and think back to the deep sea on our own planet where the creatures are so different than we may think, I am both in fear and awe. It shows how nature is incomprehensible to us mortals, how Socrates described the more one knows, the more one knows how much one does not and may never know. This diversity is so awe-finspiring. Imagine standing on a cliff or floating before the abyss, looking upon the depths, the world, its wonders. There will always be something to explore and learn anew. Now, if we would not change and develop, we would not be able to explore. It would be cold and boring, not fin-teresting at all! Nature itself can be strange, chaotic, and even cruel, yet even beautiful. While it is chaotic, it is diverse and still persistent in many tides. While so much has happened and will happen, we still exist. If distress would be washed away by the tides completely, who would know what bliss would be? It is a balance which is as everchanging, yet as constant as the waves of the oceans. Change is the only constant aspect in life. If we would not be in a form of balance between many forces, it would be fin-vasive and stagnant. If we only would be in balance forever, it would be stagnant alongside. As an example, if one would want to improve, one often has to exceed certain limits even if just to a small amount and try something new. It is paradoxical, but I am glad anything exists at all...

How those waterpeople look in the oracle, their expressions, it is so serene. They seem to be knowledgeable. I find the aura that they reflect so sublime. It seems as if they acknowledge the world and accept how diverse it is while still being true to themselves by looking after their needs. They seem to respect the world and themselves, dwelling in the waters of self-awareness, acceptance, respect, and acknowledgment. It is important to look after oneself and others, establishing a healthy balance between one and other people can be helpful in some situations, but sometimes one could need to stop and think if one would need to set boundaries. It all depends. I cannot splash the waves enough how they are designed alongside. Each possesses an unique appearance and design, reflecting the diversity and beauty in every aspect.

I also adore those somewhat triangular fins shaping their heads such as in the Closed card. They remind me of some characters with similar triangular heads I had seen. The Awaken card has a half-moon head which seems similar to the main character in the Hylics videogame named Wayne as an example. The Ascension card has a head like a hammerhead shark. The even vaguely triangular shapes are nice. Triangles are sacred symbols and often associated with wisdom, stability, and much more. It is my favorite shape and I like the concept of the triangle heads, especially in relation to the wisdom association. The number three is frequent and speaks to me very much because it reflects many trios such as land, sea, and sky or past, present, and future as some fin-stances. There is more, but this explains it fairly well. The trident is a significance alongside in the deck as many waterfolks would bear such. It is a very important symbol especially for triumph, victory, and power like in this oracle. The art of the oracle is often symmetrical and those shapes are so neat to look at. It looks complex, yet shrimp-le. It has this ancient feel to it, being regal and sacred, yet mysterious and perhaps transcendental. While the deck is, well, complex in of itself, it still has some set system and a simplicity in its art. Everything looks like some form of sacred geometry applied in an utterly beautiful tide in the deep sea. Yea. Sea. Yea. <It is written similarly, but pronounced differently. Yea...

Thanks for diving into me and my sea.

Yea- What the shell am I doing with the yea. Holy crab.

Haha.

Ha.

H lol

Yea, pl-sea-ure is fin-finite.

Fin fin!

This is now FIN-ished, fellow.

Dive into another entry for Oannes' sake!
