I was walking from the car to work, minding my own business, and I see on the ground a playing card. The four of diamonds. Divination happens with playing cards, that is how we got them in the first place. A friend of mine is quite good with them. I forgot to call and ask him, but I have a reference book!

From Simply Fortune Telling with Playing Cards by Jonathan Dee:
"The Four of Diamonds is not an exciting card; in fact, it implies a period of slow, steady effort toward a specific goal. It is likely that this goal is financial in nature, or connected with property."

Okay. Confused. Ray is the one that is on the job search and has the financial goal. Is this a patience message for me? Do I work toward more frugality because progress will be slow? Is this message to boost hope? All questions only I can answer. But things I'd like to know.

Perhaps a further reading on the topic when I feel better and have more energy.

So I woke up a three am and what else does one do while waiting for theraflu to cool down, but do a Tarot reading? I used the DruidCraft deck, Awen spread.

past ideas-5 of Cups
past emotions-R Prince of Cups, message R5 of Swords
past manifestations-High Priest

present ideas-R2 of Cups
present emotions- the Moon
present manifestations-9 of Pentacles

future ideas-10 of Pentacles
future emotions-R7 of Pentacles
future manifestations-6 of Wands

So yes, I've been feeling a bit wounded as of late. That should change. True I am a bit unhappy with my job. And things should be looking up a bit. Okay.

Then I tried to go back to sleep after that. I remember the beginning of a dream were I was on a boat with men in black cloaks being taken to meet the God. Flip the whole Mists of Avalon thing and you've got it. The God came close to me to give me my message and I startled awake. Wonder if I will get back to that one or not?

Two things with this that struck right away. My other half did a one card pull the night before and drew the Magician in his deck. Last week I saw the Chariot live. A trailer on a motorcycle with one black and one white standard poodle standing in it enjoying the ride. Quite different.

Instead of summary now of the reading I choose to incubate in the dream world.
