Clow Card Divination 101
In this post I wish to share with you my favorite form of divination!
It's a long one so more under the read more!
The Clow cards (later Sakura/Star cards) are from the manga & anime Card Captor Sakura. The series follows a girl called Sakura Kinomoto who finds a book in her father’s study called the Clow book. The book contains Clow cards which were made by Clow Reed before his life ended; sealed away until Sakura accidentally releases them. With the Clow cards gone and only left with The Windy, the story follows her capturing all the escaped cards. When she finally has all of them it becomes clear she is next in line to become the master of them. Thus, the cards ‘evolve’ into the Sakura/Star cards by Sakura signing her name onto them.
Clow Reed and The Clow
Clow Reed was a sorcerer born with both English & Chinese heritage. His parents were from very powerful families of magic users and because of his mixed heritage, Clow Reed came to be the most powerful sorcerer ever known. He created The Clow; cards encompassing both Western (Sun) & Eastern (Moon) magic. Each card has their own personality and tremendous power. With the creation of The Clow he also created two guardians called Cerberus & Yue.
Cerberus
Cerberus (aka Kero) is one of the two guardians of The Clow. He is bossy, confident and overindulgent, but also positive and fun. Clow Reed left Kero with the task to find the next master of the cards when he died. Although Kero chooses Sakura out of consequence, he becomes her guide for The Clow throughout the story and helps her through many ordeals. His power is that of the sun & western magic and the cards under him reflect his personality and domain. Just like the sun he generates his own energy instead of needing his master’s to survive.
Yue
Yue is the other guardian of The Clow. He is cold, serious and aloof but he has a kind heart. He cared very deeply for his old master, so much so that he had a hard time accepting Sakura as the new one. Yue is in charge of judging the person Kero chooses to see if they are worthy of being the new master of the cards. Because of his hard time accepting anyone other than Clow Reed it took a while before Sakura could convince him; not wanting to hurt him. His power is that of the moon & eastern magic and the cards under him reflect his personality and domain. Just like the moon he doesn’t generate his own magic and needs his master’s energy to survive.
System
The Clow cards work under a hierarchy. The attribute cards rule over the elemental cards and the elemental cards rule over every card underneath. When laying cards, if any of the attribute cards or the elemental cards come up they influence the reading greatly with their meanings.
The Suits
The Light Suit
The cards under The Light stand for all that is everyday life, lightheartedness and fun. The exception to this suit is The Shadow, but without light there is no shadow, thus it is included here instead of The Dark suit. I also relate The Light suit with the major arcana in tarot, albeit the positive side more than the negative side. Positive things like having good fortune or good things that we do not have immediate control over.
The Dark Suit
The cards under The Dark stand for all that is mysterious, unknown, and otherworldly. This includes parts of life we might not like, but still have to go through. Just like the Light suit I relate The Dark suit with the major arcana in tarot. It talks about things we thus far had no control over, but notifies us to think about those aspects and invites us to take the necessary steps for positive change. It will be a challenge and we might even fear it, but life is filled with ups and downs. When we get through our down period, we face the better times triumphantly with an experience richer and we might even be better equipped to handle a similar situation in the future.
The Fire Suit
The cards under The Firey stand for action, passion, temper and upheavals. It tells us that one way or another we need to put our all into it. Whether it’s to keep trying, fully take something out of our lives or try our best to hit that mark. Yes, it may be challenging and the road might be bumpy, but the vitality & creativity of the Fire suit tells us that we can do this. Sometimes all we need is willpower & determination!
The Water Suit
The cards under The Watery stand for emotion, relationships and intuition. Although the Watery is an aggressive card of its own, the cards underneath it tend to be more calm, soft and some are even fun! However, the cards underneath the Watery are also related to how we handle situations and react to the world and people around us on an emotional level.
The Earth Suit
The cards under The Earthy stand for stability, security, & strength. They are about the material self or about things related to the self. Whether this is protecting one’s self, finding balance around one’s self or breaking material cycles.
The Wind Suit
The cards under The Windy stand for communication, truth & clarity. It's about taking a step back and thinking it through sometimes. Although the element of air is related to the mental realm not all cards in the wind suit are related to it. Some are about literal movement as well.
Individual Card Meanings
This is a long list with a few words per card. I am working on a more in-depth document regarding The Clow because many people, including myself, don't think the official fortune telling book really fits with its descriptions. The Clow cards each have their own individual & unique personality which shine through in their meanings. Why not add those into the equation? There are also meanings that come from my personal use of the cards. Use what you feel is right!
The set I bought came with The Miracle card which I use myself so I included it here as well. It does not belong to a suit like The Hope & The Nothing.

Project Sekai-Inspired Meditation Journey
This is a little bit of pop culture magic designed to help identify and process strong feelings. Knowledge of the game/vocaloid lore isn't required; anyone should be able to use this if you'd like!
Instructions
Find a peaceful space which you can comfortably meditate in.
Once you're ready, close your eyes and meditate in whatever way works for you. That could mean sitting still and focusing on the breath, rocking back and forth, using prayer beads, or smoething else.
Once your mind is calm, focus on the feelings you're dealing with. Maybe it's about a certain situation, or just a general feeling of discomfort. You don't have to name it. Just let it in without judgement.
When you're ready, enter your own sekai. This is a small little imaginary world created from your feelings, designed to help you discover them. Simply let yourself "appear" there. The important part is not to question what it looks like. We don't get to choose our sekai. Just allow whatever pops into your head to be, and trust that it will come to make sense over time.
As you continue to meditate, each sekai also comes with its own incarnation of Hatsune Miku. Just like the sekai itself, don't try to force it. She'll appear how/whenever she appears. Miku here serves as an ambassador to the sekai and a personal guide. By nature, your Miku is built to care about you and want to help.
Spend as much time in the sekai as you like. Explore the world, talk with your Miku, whatever feels right. You can also return to the sekai in future meditations if you want to, since it might take more than one visit to get everything out of it.
Reflect on the meditation afterwards. Much like a dream, the way things manifest can be significant. What might your sekai mean for you? Your Miku might represent what kind of help you need in real life. For example, if Miku were to appear as a nurse or maid, it could mean you want to be supported or nurtured. A badass, confident Miku might be a desire for more confidence or a strong direction to go in. Your answers will be entirely personal.
If you try this meditation, please let me know what you think! Please feel free to ask any questions about sekais/Miku if you're interested in trying it but are unfamiliar. :)

Someday, you will die.
I hope, when that day comes, you are mourned.
I hope many prominent people eulogize you.
I hope that the day you die, you will end.
Your body will remain sterile;
Your memorials deserted;
Your memories forgotten.
I hope that, from the day you die,
no echoes of you will remain.

> new series release (space babies) coincided with the uk seeing the northern lights for the first time in years
> the devil’s chord coincided with paul mccartney’s long-missing hofner bass guitar being found, by a doctor who fan no less
> boom coincided with an actual meteor crash
> 73 yards is coinciding with a rise in bizarre supposedly-occult animal sacrifice rituals in britain (the folk horror part) and rishi sunak finally calling a general election (the political drama part)
> hypothesis: russell t davies has somehow managed to tune in to the universe’s divine frequency ??
> conclusion: messing with the forces of fate, cause&effect and coincidence, even if it’s for the pop culture franchise you’re showrunning, actually turns it into an egregore, but only if it’s been going for long enough (sixty fucking years to the dot) and watched by enough people (tens of millions). which it has
> ergo, postscriptum: television magick is real and is being unintentionally performed by the creators + audience of the world’s silliest science fiction show

oh no, now I'm imagining Dick opening jars for 14-yo Tim during Prodigal
Tim doesn't even think to ask him at first; his dad wasn't at home often enough for it be a habit, and like hell was he gonna ask the older boys at boarding school to open stuff for him like he couldn't do it himself :/ and while staying at Wayne Manor, well, with Alfred around the jars were without fail already open by the time they reached the table.
so when it's just the two of them, fending for themselves both on Gotham's streets as Batman and Robin and in the Manor's kitchen as Dick and Tim, it doesn't occur to Tim to ask.
Dick watches him wrestle with the jam jar like it's Killer Croc for a long minute, chin propped in one hand and eyebrow raised in amusement. Then he just reaches over and plucks it out of Tim's grasp with a casual, "Here, kiddo. Let me."
now, Dick could tap the jar against the edge of the counter, all around the stubborn lid. or he could run it under warm water. or gently twist his warm hands round and round the metal rim to heat and loosen it that way. teach Tim all the standard tricks of the jar-opening trade.
but for some reason, he doesn't.
instead, under Tim's startled, expectant gaze, Dick finds himself taking firm hold with the vise grip of his trapeze artist hands, flashing the kid a showy grin, and just twisting with a hard flex of muscle.
the loud pop isn't half as satisfying as the beam of admiration on Tim's face.
Dick should feel silly. jeez, it's not like he suplexed a Rogue right in front of the kid or caught him out of a 10-storey fall or anything.
(who's more ridiculous - Tim for being impressed by so little, or Dick for feeling so undeniably smug about it?)
(is his life seriously such a mess that wowing the baby Robin with feats of basic domestic competence counts as a win? seriously? get a grip, Grayson.)
"yeah, yeah - I loosened it up for you!" Tim laughs, but when Dick hands him the jar with one hand and scrubs vigorously through his hair with the other, he can still see his little brother's pleased smile as he attempts to duck away.
so Dick keeps doing it. Tim always insists on having a go at it himself, first, but shoving stubborn jars at Dick with that expectant look quickly becomes automatic.
it's a Thing. like many Things about Tim, it could easily be annoying, but somehow it manages to be endearing instead.
maybe that's just how little brothers work.
Dick does teach the kid how to do laundry and fold clothes and replace broken windows and cook basic meals for himself because he's not about to do all the work in this big old empty house, but he never does teach him how to open stuck jars.
#Dick and Tim#Dick Grayson#Tim Drake#batfam#dcu#Nightwing#Robin#Cam posts#Cam writes#also#Dick remembering his Dad opening jars for him and his mom#just running up to him like HERE please?? and pop! like magic#understanding the smile on his dad's face#the little rush of satisfaction from helping out his family with such a tiny insurmountable thing

Clue
Ashley received an anonymous invite to a escape room / murder mystery game called the 'Best Investigative Mystery'. Supposedly dozens of participants had tried unsuccessfully, disappearing without a trace after failing. But Ashley considered themselves too smart and agreed to the terms.
They had 24 hours in an isolated mansion to find a solution to with what, by whom, and where the murder would occur. There were a dizzying amount of options to explore. The surgical center, the exercise room, the laboratory. They found a syringe, a ball gag, even a sharpened high heel as possible weapons. People were hard to come by, but there seemed to be a trophy wife, a social media star, and even a dominatrix roaming the halls too.
By the time the 24 hours was up, Ashley didn't have a clue. It turns out the answer was the MILF maid, in the hypno media room, with the magic 'Bimbo' choker. Which would've been easy to discover if they had just looked in the mirror...but BIM had made sure Ashley wasn't as smart as they thought they were!
