#querent: jasper-the-menace

[khajiit-reads]

I'd like a Grand Tableau reading! I'm Jasper (they/them) and I'd prefer a masculine significator (feel free to choose whichever one you think fits best) and…well, I'm aroace, but perhaps a masculine significator for a QPR? I've barely ever dabbled in Lenormand, so I'm admittedly a bit lost on the cards 😅 Hopefully I am a good guinea pig for this reading regardless!

~Jasper

For clarity, 28 is You, 29 is your potential QPP or whoever.

The rest of your reading is under the cut for length. It's long. I hope it's accurate, I'm not the best at reading Lenormand all the time lol!

The deck used is Healing Light Lenormand by Christopher Butler.

Center Cards

The two center cards represent what the reading centers on, the "heart" of it.

We see Clover and Birds here in the center - Clover represents luck, lightheartedness, and all things positive in the emotional sector. Birds represents however, negative emotions and flightyness.

This can be taken to mean that this spread will be a great mix of these two things - The positive and the negative. Your spread will face your emotions and it might not always be an easy journey.

The Houses

The house is the card that normally numerically belongs in that spot (the first card in the reading is in the House of Rider for example.) The first word is the card, second is the house.

Mountain | Rider : Mountain is all about blockages, but Rider is about progress and messages. This ultimately represents blocked energy and passage, something standing in your way.

Bouquet | Clover : Bouquet is about flattery and the social life, and Clover is about all things positive emotions. However, you have great social bonds in your life at this time that could or do help you.

Heart | Ship : Heart represents relationships and bonds, and Ship something leaving you or leaving something behind. But at the same time, some bonds are leaving you. They may or may not return, this card doesn't suggest that to me.

Child | House : This one is a bit hard - While one could take Child semi-literally as the inner child, this card is more about new beginnings. So regardless, that is affecting your foundations in a positive way.

Lily | Tree : Lily in this context represents wisdom and ethics, which Tree has made grounding and foundational parts of your life and experience. Wisdom is part of what grounds you and is foundational, is what I mean.

Cross | Cloud : Cross is all about faith, convictions, but also suffering and burden. Cloud is about uncertainty and secrets, things being hidden. And yet your faith or your convictions are stuck in a place of uncertainty. You have great knowledge in yourself, but do you feel stilted or lost in place somehow? Are you questioning yourself?

Moon | Snake : Moon represents the subconscious and that which we don't know we know, and Snake is desire, seduction, and craving. You're in a phase right now in your life where you're trying to figure out what you want, but perhaps you already know and just need to access it.

Stars | Coffin : Stars here is much like The Star in Tarot, being a card of hopes and dreams. But Coffin represents something ending, but also something transforming. However, I'm taking this as you hoping that something is ending, something that isn't serving you or making you feel happy.

Rider | Bouquet : Rider is all about passion and moving forward with things, as well as fast things, while Bouquet in this context, I think, represents a gift. A gift from someone, somewhere is on the horizon, and that gift will help you. My gut says maybe, just maybe, it's your self-gift of new decks, that maybe they'll bring you to the next level.

Sun | Scythe : Sun is another positive card, but more about external positivity that internal like clover, this card also represents power and success. Scythe represents hasty decisions, but also danger and a warning. Your success will come at some form of price. Something you have to give up, that you might be willing or might not be willing.

Ring | Whip : Ring is all about commitments, promises, honor, the sort. Whip is about conflict, however. Do your past commitments haunt you, have you made promises that you don't want to keep anymore? Or is it more simple and easy, that you just don't want to keep doing things the way you've been doing it?

Bear | Birds : Bear is about power, control. Birds about worry, but also excitement. Do the things before this card, the allusions of conflict in your commitments, the success at a price worry you? Are you seeking power in your life, but that power also worries you, but also excites you?

Whip | Child : Whip is about conflict, opposition, and anger. Child is about new beginnings. Are these changes in your life causing you grief, because of some reason? Are they not coming as easily to you as you'd like them to?

Clover | Fox : Clover represents small happinesses, luck and positivity. Fox can represent selfishness, self care, and general trickery. Do you find yourself self caring enough, is it bringing you the joy that you seek and need?

Snake | Bear : Snake is about seduction, desire, and perhaps even forbidden knowledge. Bear is about power and control, being the boss. You're still seeking power and knowledge about what will help you, taking control of your own life and learning more about what you need for you.

Tower | Stars : Tower represents solitude and authority, and Stars represents hope. You're finding hope and peace within your path alone, and finding yourself to be an authority in your life.

Partner | Stork : Partner is about... well, your partner. Stork is about change, growth, and a new cycle. This card could be saying that you'll meet someone or be with someone (I don't know your current status in QPR land) who will help you grow into the person you want to be.

Mice | Dog : Mice represent dwindling, deficiency, and depletion. Dog represents loyalty and friendship. Do you find yourself with friendships that aren't making you as happy as you could be? Or perhaps, seeking more friends to fill in where you feel dwindled and depleted?

Fish | Tower : Fish is about finances, business, and wealth. Tower is about being established, but ultimately isolated and aloof. This does bode semi-well on a business endeavor, that it will be fruitful, though it might not be the best for you.

Letter | Garden : Letter is about communication, speech, and information. Garden is about public affairs. This might be about your blog in some form or another - Letter and Garden are both positive-leaning cards so it could be an encouragement to keep up your blogs as you are.

Coffin | Mountain : Coffin is about endings, but also transformation. Mountain represents difficulties and hurdles. Something will end but it will be quite difficult for you, and it'll probably be an experience you wish didn't happen.

You | Crossroads : You is... you. Crossroads is about paths open to you, and about choices. This quite plainly means, especially so close to the center, that your choices are extremely important for you right now. You need to make wise ones and deliberate before making any choice.

Everything past this point is about the future. The things before this aren't necessarily the past per se, but rather perhaps what has been affecting you so far.

Birds | Mice : Birds is about anxiety, worry, and nervousness. Mice is about something dwindling and falling apart. This can be a good omen, especially so close to the significator, that the things that worry you won't be a problem for too terribly much longer.

Book | Heart : Book is about secrets and knowledge, Heart is about bonds and relationships. You're going to learn something new about someone sometime soon, hopefully positive.

Clouds | Ring : Clouds represent anxiety and nervousness, and Ring represents commitments and promises. Your problems with these things might also fade quickly, so close to Book | Heart.

Key | Book : Book is about knowledge and information, and Key is about openness and revelations. You'll learn something new that will bring you to some revelation.

House | Letter : House is about safety and stability, about customs and also privacy. Letter is about communication and information. You're going to go through a time of figuring out what it is you want from learning about and from others in some degree.

Scythe | Man : Scythe is about accidents, Man is about a person. You might find you make some mistake with someone sometime soon that might cause quite a bit of pain.

Dog | Woman : Dog is about loyalty and friendship, Woman is about a person. But at the same time, you'll make a new friend and make a new bond, which will last you quite a long time.

Ship | Lily : Ship is about departure and farewells, Lily is about ethics and morality. You might find yourself arguing with yourself on something and changing your mind on something. It doesn't have to be as grand as it sounds here, it could be quite mild and minor.

Tree | Sun : Tree represents being grounded and growing, Sun represents happiness and victory. You're going to succeed in grounding yourself sometime soon, and it'll bring you great happiness.

Fox | Moon : Fox is about selfishness and self-care, about being strong and dominant. Moon is about what we don't recognize that we do know. You're going to maybe realize that you need more of this in your life for your own good. Do you find yourself being a people pleaser or anything like that?

Stork | Key : Stork is about change and cycles, Key is about openness and realizing something. You're going to recognize a change that needs to occur in your life, and you'll hopefully pursue it.

Garden | Fish : Garden is about public affairs, community and social networks. Fish is about business and monetary affairs. Your public life may lead to a road where you can make some money.

Anchor | Anchor : Anchor represents foundations, being faithful, and achievements. You're going to find yourself building a new foundation that will bring you great achievement.

Crossroad | Cross : Crossroad represents having many options available to you, and Cross represents faith. This might be a final send off to the Houses simply choosing to say that you have a lot of options available to you, and that none of them are particularly wrong.

Four Corners

The left corners represent the past. We see Mountain and Scythe. Within your past, you've had a lot of obstacles and things standing in your way, accidents and things you never intended.

The right corners represent the future. We see Rider and Crossroad. But within your future, you've many options before you, and all of them are valid and possible for you.

The top corners represent things beyond your control. We see Mountain and Rider. Beyond your control however, is how easy it'll be to actually make the change you should be pursuing.

The bottom corners represent things within your control. We see Scythe and Crossroad. And within it, is how you pursue it, and to avoid harm and hardships.

Rows

In this section and the next, I won't list every card we see because I like my sanity, and just go over the general understanding.

The center rows represent the present. We see both you and your companion card here, so both of these are obviously in the present. Things are difficult to some degree, but you're handling it well and with the aid of those around you. Commitments are being made or debated on that will guide you towards some form of revelation. Something is falling apart and ending right now. Money is an important factor in your life at the moment. You're learning something new at the time.

The bottom row is what's in your control. You're in control of where you can go and how to mitigate damage. You have loyal friends, and you can choose what things end and what things don't. You choose your own foundations.

The top row is what's not in your control. Obstacles are not quite in your control, nor is the fact you need to make progress and moving forward. You will make more friends within this time, and these will bring you to new beginnings and betterness.

Columns

Moving from left to right, with the center three columns being the present, we see the past to the future.

First column, there's obstacles and hardships, perhaps a fear and anxiety around money, and yet joy in your past. Second column, there's a lot of socializing and commitments, plenty of communication and loyalty. Third column, something ended, perhaps a relationship that you enjoyed a lot, but you had the power and capability to move past it.

Fourth column, into the present, we see yourself first and foremost in this column, which puts extra importance onto it. You're faced with conflicts in your foundations, and are seeking a new beginning in some form or another. Fifth column, you're anxious about something but also at peace about it, knowing that it'll all turn out okay. You're spending time taking care of yourself in the ways you can, and bringing yourself peace. Sixth column, you're learning knowledge about your faith and what you want for yourself, coming to realizations you didn't know you would come to. You're moving forward into something new.

Seventh column, into the future, you'll need a lot of self-introspection and time to yourself to figure out what you actually want to do. However, insight for others might also be helpful, but not as helpful as self-introspection. Eighth column, we see foundations being formed, likely with a new person, which will lead to openness and new things, bringing you hope and new ideas. Ninth column, something old will fall apart and lead way for a new road and path to be taken, and new foundations to be formed.

Conclusion

I always forget how long the Grand Tableau takes! I think this was 2 hours this time. Hopefully, my hard work was worth it! (I signed up for this so it's for me to endure.)

[khajiit-reads]

Now it's time for me to invade your inbox. Jasper, they/them for pronouns. I would love to get a general reading on a certain fanfic matter, as I'm currently chewing on ideas for the next major fanfic in a soulmate AU (which…has little to do with soulmates, admittedly). I'm trying to figure out the best way to tie together my main protagonist (Scorm the Scorpion King, a villain in recovery who's already taken two shots meant for the other main protagonist), my other main protagonist (Laval the Lion Prince, your classic hero), and my main antagonist (Sir Fangar, a villain with a grudge against the classic hero). None of these disasters have soulmate marks for each other, but soulmate marks do play a big factor in part of the nightmare situation involved in this plot. Let me know if you'd like further context for the reading!

~Jasper

Well met, internet traveler!

# Deck: The Citadel | Fez Inkwright I chose this deck because I've always used him for relationship spreads and I felt this is also something a fantasy D&D inspired deck would excel at (plus I think he just wanted to shine lol), though it is a bit of an interesting choice because you've mentioned that you want this deck a lot! So, let's see where this goes. I'll be pulling 2 cards on his request.

We've gotten here Upright the Sentinel, and Reversed The Guide.

On the Sentinel, the keywords are Determination, Certainty, but the guidebook also alludes towards extreme focus, of determination and not letting yourself be swayed, and to balance unexpected situations with thought and wisdom. Reading into the archetype, the Sentinel is a grand protector, often of the King and Queen. Can be seen as a soldier type sort of deal. They defend their home and their people with strength and valor.

On the Guide, the keywords are Inheritance, and Correction, and the guidebook talks of a long struggle to put something right, perhaps not aided by others in your journey, but ultimately finding the courage and confidence in your next endeavor. Reading into the archetype, the Guide is quite straightforward. But seeing as it's reversed, as can take this card to mean something like bad advice, or a bad mentor. Or, it can conversely mean a wrong road taken.

As for how I'd suggest given what context I have on the fanfic in store (which I'd love to read even though I don't think I'm in the fandom for it), and what you're looking for (a way for Scorm and Fangar to be tied together for the third side of the hater triangle):

I'd say that have these two have a similar end goal. The same thing they're working towards - But to fulfill the distaste they have between each other, absolutely no (or little, your fanfic your choice, I'm exaggerating a bit lol) compromise between the two. This could also bring in extra fun stuff in terms of them pulling each other off their path to their shared goal, which could strengthen their distaste. As they share a goal, you could have them have some level of "Okay, I'll keep you alive, but only for my benefit" kind of thing going on, as well.

That's the suggestion the cards have for your fanfic! For something like this especially, take it all with a grain of salt and as advice, not a "You absolutely must do this thing". I look forward to your fanfic coming out! And if this doesn't fit your fanfic at all whoopsies

I hope you have a good rest of your day and tomorrow!

[khajiit-reads]

Throwing a question in here for you to chew on for the funsies. I have a little fake succulent in a tiny porcupine-looking pot, and I'm trying to think of a type of spell to connect to it. I'd like to see if any of your divination methods have opinions about the ideal type of spell for such a little thing. Jasper, they/them pronouns!

~Jasper

Actually, funnily enough, I have an entire green witch deck that provides spells. If nothing else, you can rework it to make a spell for you to cast!

The deck is Green Witch Oracle by Cheralyn Darcey.

I've pulled Geranium, the Healing card. Interestingly, one of the Gods listed under magical correspondences is Thoth, or Tehuti, who I'm pretty sure if I recall right is one of yours? The usages, however, are for comfort, virility, peace of mind, love, and happiness; with being connected to Venus and Aries respectively.

The exact spell provided is as such, for your consideration:

Healing Spell Mix up a crystal water remedy to promote healing. Place a few geranium flowers, a clear quartz, and a bloodstone crystal in a lovely jar and fill with water. Sip as needed to promote healing on all levels. Keep refrigerated for three days. The crystals can be washed and re-used.

As a safety hazard, only perennial geranium is safe to ingest. Some sources I find however say they're entirely poisonous and may lead to nausea and vomiting, especially for pets, though this might be talking about annual geranium which is a different plant. So use your safest discretion if anybody reading this chooses to take that spell at its fullest and research your specific geranium before ingesting.

As an oracular meaning, this card also asks you to take others opinions into account, and also to take care of yourself and connect more fully to yourself. Creativity in groups is needed. This can also lead to some ideas for your spell, hence why I'm listing it!

I'm not the best at spell crafting, I admit, so my spells can be pretty hit or miss and usually just rely on shoving a bunch of relevant herbs and spices in a small envelope with a pentagram and calling it a day, but hopefully the pulled card of Healing helps you pick some form of healing spell for your little plant and porcupine friend. Best of luck!

(Note to everyone else reading this: With Khajiit's permission, I am playing a character in one of my fanfics for this reading, because if any of my characters need divination advice on Tumblr, it's Jaren.)

Hey there, I'm Jaren (he/him pronouns). I'm not used to this sort of thing, but I heard that you do divination…? I imagine it's not like the card tricks that the Obscura here do, but I'm interested in seeing what happens. I'd love a reading with those charms that I saw in one of your posts, they look interesting! 💚🤍

Well met, internet traveler Jasper Jaren! (I'm gonna be extra silly in this reading by the way. For the context of others, the only context I have on this OC was gained through joking about the unfortunate charms lol.)

For your reading, I'll be using Astrophel, my charm set and giving a general reading on your situation.

The white diamond is the querent (you!), the red heart is your companion (not necessarily romantic), the pink triangle is your family, the pink circle s your friends.

Meanings of each charm:

Butterfly: cause and effect • consequences

Feather: shedding to bring better things

Flower, Pink: growing chaotically

Heart, locked: unlocking oneself • reservation • not opening up (enough)

Key, silver: shadow work • knowing oneself

Moon, with a star in it: dreams • chasing dreams

Music Note: expressing oneself • deep emotions

Star, lightning: outreaching • expanding your goodness

Swan: beauty, esp unappreciated beauty • harmful beauty

Yellow Abstract: good things that are hard to understand • being blindsided

Things I'm seeing:

⛤ The Querent sits underneath the rest of the charms, with only the key on equal footing. This can indicate being drowned and overwhelmed by everything above you, but you having one thing at your side: You know yourself.

⛤ Broken heart next to family and beside butterfly... Jaren I may have some bad news! There's definitely a lot of tension between you and a family member, which may be due to some serious consequences for someone's actions... or maybe some consequences that need to come.

⛤ There's also the locked heart and the silver key next door to each other, underneath the companion. However, this is not the correct key for this lock - That's the heart key which doesn't show up in this reading. However, one could possibly brute force the lock with this key... but that has its own consequences.

⛤ Swan sits right next to Friends, underneath the Moon. You might be harming yourself and your friendships by chasing the beauty of unattainable dreams.

⛤ Music note, the charm of expressing oneself, is hounded on two sides by friends and family, with the chaotic growth of the pink flower below it.

⛤ Yellow Abstract sits far away from everyone else, including the Querent (you). This means that the things not understood are even more misunderstood. It's in a northwestern position comparatively to you, which to me sings more of blinding you like the sun more than the guiding light of the North Star.

⛤ Everything else sits in a relative clump. Alongside representing a possible massive, overwhelming situation, the things within this clump represent an outreach (star, lightning), with the key, heart locket, and flower leading to a situation where you need to open up in order to get places, but you're moving at a pace that won't serve you in the end.

⛤ Feather points towards swan (and some of the clump in general), which can represent that you're shedding old things to move towards an unappreciated beauty. You may be one of the few who finds this beauty in the world, and find it truly beautiful.

Thank you so much for your patience with me performing this reading. (And thank you Jasper for this practice opportunity! It was fun!)

OKAY SO, since you've now read my entire MTG/Skyrim crossover fanfiction thus far, I am here for writing advice from your decks or from whatever spirit guides want to help.

As you know, I am stuck on the Bthardamz part, with Peryite's quest. How should I approach writing it? It gets very exhausting to go "and then they turned another corner in the Dwemer ruins" over and over again, and I don't want Spara's approach to be "murder everything and move on to the next quest". I don't want this chapter to be three times the length of every other chapter I've written so far, but I also don't want it to be as short as chapters 6 and 7 were. I need advice for finding a good balance between "detailed retelling of the quest" with "isn't as boring as the 37th in-game trudge through Dwemer ruins".

~Jasper, they/them

Well met, internet traveler! Hi Jasper!

Today's spirit guide is Patchouli Knowledge (who is more observing than anything else today), and the decks are Oscar, the Under the Oak Tarot by Ofride & StregaDelleMele, and Iris, the Prism Oracle by Nicole Pivirotto.

Let's tackle them individually first, then together.

Upright III of Pentacles | This card represents teamwork, collaboration, shared goals, and pooling energy. In the art of the card, we see The Girl alongside a dormouse (I'm pretty sure it's a dormouse), and the snake that signifies the King and "companion" of this Arcana, all looking down into a pool upon the crystals (which artistically replace the pentacles).

Rejection | Rejection is one of the orange cards, and means quite plainly rejection. It can also mean things going wrong and not the way you expected them to, or things generally just failing. The art of the card is a simple three-piled x, which can indicate compounded failure.

Together, I think this is saying to focus on the characters going through the dungeon chatting with each other and working together. Instead of just silence, or just speeding past it or even lingering on their movement, have them chat and discuss and have a good time, despite the whole... y'know. going through the dungeon. Highlight how they work together to succeed as well.

It can also be good to bring some level of conflict into them, so it's not just a blanket conversation. Have some conflicts pop up between ideals and goals, or even just them not liking the way another person speaks on something. It's normal for those in a party to agree, as much as it's normal for them to disagree.

I hope this is helpful writing advice! It took me a bit of ruminating to figure out what Oscar and Iris together were saying to me here, but I think I got their advice in my head now.

Thank you so much for your patience with me performing this reading.

Alright friend, hit me with your choice of deck or spirit guides poking their heads in. Jasper, they/them. I want to know what I should keep in mind during or in preparation for round 3 of the Three Kings Divination project I'm working on. And don't say "pace yourself better", I already know that 10 slots was. Too many.

~Jasper

I'll make sure they don't just say pace yourself better lol, no need to hit the nail further into the wood than it already is.

Today's spirit guide is Azura (my turn to be the messenger where Azura bonks you from)! Today's deck is Bonamie (she/qe), the Herbal Astrology Oracle by Adriana Ayales and Joséphine Klerks. This is actually one of Azura's favorite decks of mine.

So, let's start at the top and go over what each card means before I get into the overall meaning.

Horsetail Reversed brings a challenge and stubbornness. It also speaks of impatience. The guidance of this card speaks of the power of patience and the power of failure. It asks us to connect with the spirit of Horse and connect to the earth, and adapt to changes and hardships on the journey.

Mitragynia Upright speaks of subconscious healing and aligning our "inner world" with our "outer world", as well as transcending past illusions. It also, interestingly, speaks of time travel and shapeshifting. The guidance of this card is about what it dubs "subconscious healing", and to directly quote a line: "Ask yourself, have I tended to the changes I am wanting to make?"

Passionflower Upright asks one to sacrifice and surrender, and to choose growth. The guidance of this card is to evaluate what you must let go in order to take in something else.

The overall reading: So, I think you're definitely being asked to slow the heck down. Don't try and do ten million of these readings a day - You're gonna burn out if you do that. It's probably fun as heck, don't get me wrong I find reading fun too, and you're likely invested in testing this out which I wholly support, but you're also openly stating that you're wiping yourself out with every single one you perform.

It's also important to remember that if it doesn't work out the way you thought it would or intended it to, that's okay. You still did it, you still learned from it. Let yourself be willing to adjust things as needed, even if it requires uprooting the whole thing (though I hope it won't come to that!)

Azura also seems to just be imparting general advice here, about connecting your inner and outer existences (think your emotions versus your actions kind of thing, are they aligned and are you behaving in ways that bring you joy?), one can take "time travel" to refer to healing of the past and how it affects you in the now. Azura's energy that I'm getting is a little [ lovingly brandishing a stick to bonk you gently ], that Azura is worried about you and wants you to take good care of yourself now.

With "sacrifice and surrender", I think it's also returning to the "You gotta slow down!" part, that it's not a complete giving up, but rather just... take a breath. Take a break. Return to it when you can. Don't burn out. You're doing wonderfully, yes, but you gotta take care of yourself, too.

The cards decided you definitely needed to hear that you're right to pace yourself from now on.

Thank you so much for your patience with me performing this reading.

I am always happy to be a guinea pig in turn for you. Jasper, they/them, and I'd love to see which one of your spirit guides wants to hit me with a steel chair this morning. Thank you!

~Jasper

The spirit guide present for this reading is Koakuma (she/her). Now, we don't actually know much about Koakuma canonically other than she is a devil who serves Lady Patchouli Knowledge in the library. Some fan theories say that Koa is Patche's familiar (some implications from ZUN exist, but not many so it's ultimately non-canon as of current writing). Some fan theories also label Koakuma as specifically a succubus for... some reason? Likely just because she's a devil. There really isn't much on her which a cursory look of her touhouwiki page (linked on her name) shows.

But, from my understanding of Miss Koa, She is very smart when it comes to magic thanks to being in the service of Patchouli. Hence why she chose the Talisman Oracle by Nora Paskaleva to be one of the decks she'll speak through today, with the other being the Touhou Poker by the Mystia's Izakaya team.

Koakuma has a lot she wants to say, so let's go!

Obviously, we have Koakuma's card sitting at the top to act as significator - She didn't want to use it in the reading so it's significator now.

First up, we see reversed Shirasawa. Shirasawa the name comes from somewhere I don't know, but seems to be, in this deck, used to signify the hakutaku form of Keine Kamishirasawa, the version that can create history. The best example I can give is Keine ate the history of the human village during Imperishable Night, before re-creating all of it as a hakutaku when the incident was resolved. This card reversed signifies the part of our histories that we want to reject, deny, ignore, and otherwise flee from.

Next, upright Soga no Tojiko. Tojiko is a ghost, previously a vengeful spirit, who can manipulate and create lightning, and thunder as well by proxy though officially, just lightning. Upright, it can signify moving past that which doesn't serve you anymore - as Tojiko lived as a vengeful spirit for many years before ultimately relaxing and chilling out and is now just a ghost.

Finally of the Touhou Poker Cards, there's reversed Doremy Sweet. Doremy is a baku, a youkai that eats and creates dreams. Think Drowzee, because Drowzee is also based on the baku. Reversed, Doremy can represent a failure to follow ones dreams.

Next row, we get into the Talisman Oracle. First, there's Leadership. This talisman asks us to take charge and lead our lives as we need to, and not to let others command us beyond what we are already willing to follow.

Next, Good Luck. This talisman brings good luck upon the reading, essentially. Not much else to that one.

And finally, Confidence. This talisman reminds us to be strong-willed and have, well, confidence. It can be used for the same reason as well.

— ☆ —

Overall, Koakuma wants to ask you - What is it in your life that you're not facing? What have you been through that's sapping your confidence and your ability to be a leader? You need to work hard on moving past that which doesn't serve you, and follow your dreams. You have great luck on your side to aid you in doing all of that.

The past is the past. It's happened, it's done, it's over. All we can do about it is move forward with what we've learned and endured, and try to find and create joy within what is available to us. The past may have dampened your dreams, made you feel like you couldn't actually reach what was there for you, even though all you really need is a nice stepstool.

Luck is on your side. Your spirit guides are on your side. While you're being asked to focus on yourself and what YOU can achieve as a leader of your own life, that doesn't mean that you can't rely on others to support you and you make your own commands in life.

Koakuma sees your capabilities and your successes. She encourages you to use magic to help pursue and achieve your goals. The talismans sigils on the three cards have been left for you below, in case you wish to use their power. She sees all that which is supporting you right now, and also is behind you in support.

Very, very interesting reading result... I've been thinking about having Scorm foil Sir Fangar in this sequel fanfic, so this reading certainly gives me plenty to ponder...

If you're interested in giving the fanfic a read, here's a link to my Tumblr masterpost about it! It's for a LEGO theme from 2013-2015 and I'm one of about three people writing on AO3 for it. It's a hot mess and I love it so much.

As for how I'm finally going to finish off this hater triangle...it really does hinge on Laval as far as in-story events go, but the pivotal choice will definitely be Scorm picking between Laval's way of doing things versus Sir Fangar's...and we'll see what he chooses >:3c

Thank you so much for doing the reading for me! Do you mind if I reblog your reading guidelines post to my blogs?
