Tarot readings by Creature. Come get some! ;)

[Creature]

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

Ok, so yeah. If you want a tarot reading post in this thread. Anyone posting here (no matter what they're posting) will get a tarot reading unless I get bored and stop doing them altogether. I'll go in chronological order, first post == first reading.

I got a bunch of decks and will use whichever I want (no, you don't get a say >:[ ) I'll let you know which deck I used for your reading and will try to post a picture of the layout. I'll start out using the following layout (which I came up w/ a few minutes ago)

[1]
[2][3][4] [5][6] [7][8][9]

[1] - overall card for the reading
[2-4] - past
[5,6] - present
[7-9] - future

------- EDIT 5/14/09 ---------

please indicate your gender. Sometimes it matters when the court cards are concerned (knights, kings, queens, pages)

unless you specifically ask me to give you the reading in private (PM, email, etc), I'm gonna post it in this thread. For people who've already posted before I posted this: let me know if you want me to take your reading off the thread and I'll edit my messages.

------- /EDIT 5/14/09 ---------

If I decdie I don't wanna use this layout anymore at some point I'll let you all know and start doing another one.

After I post the reading, please respond and let me know if the past and present parts of the reading make sense and how (unless you want to keep that lats part private). I'll try to get a hold of you in about 3 weeks or so to find out about the future part. If you have an e-mail address or im or whatever that you'd rather I use instead of this forums PM system for future contact, please either post it here or PM it to me.

In your response to whether or not a certain part of the reading was accurate, please go in as much detail as you can. Please tell me which specific parts were accurate (and how) and which ones weren't. Unless it's something private you don't want to disclose.

You can (but don't have to) ask for a certain theme for the reading, example: job, move, etc. Please don't ask yes/no questions.

Otherwise I'll just give you a normal general reading.

If I get behind, just be patient. I'm not ignoring you I'm just busy or something. I'll pick up where I left off when I get back online.

This is just for fun. I know I don't have to say this here, but please don't make any life-altering decisions based on Creature's readings (unless the decision involves sending Creature lots and lots of money... You can go ahead and do that if you really want to. >_>).

If you post anything else in this thread, other then a request for a reading, I may or may not respond depending on whether or not the time allows. Since I'm doing this mostly to train up some mad awesome Tarot skills, the readings come first. Another thing that I may do is give you a reading first, then, a few posts later, if I have time, respond to a non-reading question.

So! Who shall be my first victim? *rubs hands together laughing maniacally*

 

[GoodKat]

I wouldn't mind a past reading to see how specific you can get and still be right(I'm a skeptic towards everything)

 

[Netheralian]

Bring it on...

 

[PuppetXeno]

fun!

Mind that i will verify your reading with my own, and that i know atleast half a dozen witches whom i'll ask to critically review and thoroughly test the results, especially if you're going to touch any 'romance' bits! :twisted:

 

[ThetaOmega]

fear the fluffy bunny card!
It means death for us all!

 

[Mycernius]

Oh the woo of tarot. Originally a card game that was adapted by the woo brigade sometime in the 17th/18th century for divination About as realiable as reading sheeps guts.

 

[Creature]

Ok, 'yall, there are 2 important things I forgot to mention in the first post:

1st -- please indicate your gender. Sometimes it matters when the court cards are concerned (knights, kings, queens, pages)

2nd -- unless you specifically ask me to give you the reading in private (PM, email, etc), I'm gonna post it in this thread. For people who've already posted before I posted this: let me know if you want me to take your reading off the thread and I'll edit my messages.

Anyways, I've only got time for 1 reading today. Will be back this weekend if things all goes well:



GoodKat:

For your reading I'm using the Quest Tarot.

Past:

Father of Stones -- a male person, wise and down to earth, perhaps someone who owns a business or is in charge of some material enterprise. He is not young.

The next 2 cards are: Son of Cups and The Magician.

I feel a definate transition between the Son of Cups and Magician.

I can see it two ways:

Either the Father of Stones is someone else, like a mentor, who was watching you struggle w/ new ideas that were sometimes conflicting and inspired by moods and emotions that were changing (Son of Cups). Then, from this chaos of ideas and emotions you were able to make sense of it all (the Magician), skillfully use them to lead to the best possible benefit.
Another way to look at this is you being the Father of Stones, and then the new ideas and temporary uncertainty comming into your life, that you later found a way to resolve. Not sure here, but I think I'm gonna go w/ the first interpretation.


Present:
Ace of Wands reversed, Strength reversed

It doesn't seem like you are at a good point in your life. Lack of inspiration and new energy to move things along (inversed Ace of Wands) and lack of courage and control (inversed Strength).

Future:

The Star, Nine of Stones, Two of Stones

Looks like things are looking up. The Star symbolises hope, divine inspiration, purity. Each stone of the Nine of Stones has a different astrological symbol on it. Different fources working together to achieve a positive, powerful effect on the material realm. Perhaps new business opportunities?
Two of Stones -- harmony and balance in the material realm. This card feels to me like it's not just talking of monitary and business matters, but of your overall environment: family, friends, etc.

Overall card:
Two of Swords
This deck's 2 of swords seems different then the usual one. The secondary description written on the card is "Peace" The two swords are facing downward, stuck in the ground and there is a bubble of air or watter (not sure) between them. It's kind of a static moment without opposing fources going at it. A time for stuff to develop on its own w/o a lot of push, spontaniously.

Please let me know how accurate each part was.

I wouldn't mind a past reading to see how specific you can get and still be right(I'm a skeptic towards everything)

It's kinda hard to get too specific w/ card readings. It's a 72 cards fit all deal. There is not "Your aunt Agatha is going to come for a visit this weekend and you'll have to fix her front passanger-side tire" card, unfortunately.

I may edit this post in the future to post a photo of the spread when I have time to go find a host for images and register w/ them.

Well, your first interpretation was closest, I did go through a conflict of ideas that ended up changing my worldview, however no men over 20 were aware of it, and I've never really had any "mentors", I've always been too independent of a thinker. I'm certainly not old or in charge of anything really.

It doesn't seem like you are at a good point in your life. Lack of inspiration and new energy to move things along (inversed Ace of Wands) and lack of courage and control (inversed Strength).

Much more accurate, I am deeply lacking in motivation and am rather confused as to what to do with my life.

I honestly can't judge the "future" reading, things are too uncertain at this point.

Now, not to accuse you of cheating But I have to say that I have almost explicitly stated the stuff you got right in my posts. I doubt that you read them, but like I said, I'm a natural skeptic.

 

[CupOfWater]

Ok, 'yall, there are 2 important things I forgot to mention in the first post:

WHAT :shock:
I didn't know I had a son!

Oh, and I'd like a tarot thing too, I'm male.

 

[Creature]

I'm gonna add another card into the spread for the present. I have no idea why I made it so that past and future got 3 cards and present only 2. There will be 3 cards for present now. Sorry for the confusion.

GoodKat:

Thanks for the feedback

I honestly can't judge the "future" reading, things are too uncertain at this point.

Is it alright if I check back w/ you in 3 weeks or so to find out if anything "came true"? Also if something interesting happens that relates to the reading, please either post her or message me to let me know.

Now, not to accuse you of cheating But I have to say that I have almost explicitly stated the stuff you got right in my posts. I doubt that you read them, but like I said, I'm a natural skeptic.

Nah, I haven't been frequenting this place all that often to know anything about anyone. It's one of the reasons I chose to do the readings here, don't know anyone enough to have that knowledge interfere w/ the reading. The other and more important reason is that most people here are skeptics. People who aren't sometimes want to believe so much, they give you false positives.

PuppetXeno:

Mind that i will verify your reading with my own, and that i know atleast half a dozen witches whom i'll ask to critically review and thoroughly test the results, especially if you're going to touch any 'romance' bits!

I don't mind at all! I think that'd be awesome. It's a learning experience for me and all feedback is highly appreciated.

I'll do your reading next, I'm going in the order people posted.

Netheralian:

Past:

Strength reversed -- you were weary, tired. Not physically, but in your mental state. There was some stuff that you could do something about but you chose not to, because of "Awww, fuck it! I'm fed up with this shit. Don't want to bother w/ this anymore" sort of thing.

Two of Pentacles Reversed -- being lost and out of touch with the world. Things that were happening were not making much sense.

8 of swords -- pinned down and restricted, wounded, herpahs (though probly not physically). Your goal seemed to be way out of your reach, way barred by more immediate troubles and dangers.

Present:

The Lovers -- two distinct choices facing you right now.

Page of Pentacles -- A possibility of new growth. Perhaps a new person comming into your life who will aid you with this. If you were sick, there is a good chance your helath may begin to improve.

Ace of swords -- a new trouble or challange arising, but I do not get the feeling from this that it is bad, rather for the best. It may give you excitement and re-new your interest in things. Good excersise.

Future:

The Magician (Reversed) -- YOu will find that things that you are used to, things that you thought you were in control of are spinning out of control and doing their own, unexpected thing. Think of this: a trainer of animals in a circus brings some of his trained animals to perform. The tiger is supposed to jump through the flaiming hoop, but he goes to pee in the courner instead. And the trainer's like "WTF?" o_0

9 of wands (Reversed) -- Energy doing the unexpected thing, getting out of control. As a result of this little outburst, a certain obstacle that was in the way (but you were used to it) is broken, removed. May or may not be a good thing.

King of Cups -- This man knows how to calm turmoil. He is wise and benevolent and know how to handle and manipulate emotions, but not in a bad way. Kind of like a psychologist manipulates emotions, for the greater good.

Overall card:

Nine of cups -- There seems to be a lot of emotional stuff comming your way that you are not quite sure how to deal with. It may not be bad stuff, but if you are a primarily intellectual person, all the emotional stuff may get you confused. Perhaps the King of Cups may help you w/ that?

Please let me know what you think of the reading, which parts were accurate, wich inacurate, etc.

We puts a quarter coin the machine for lolz

I'll let you know

Admirable.

 

[Josan]

Ah screw it! I'm in for a reading aswell (male)

 

[Creature]

Forgot to Mention the deck I used in the previous reading: it was the Mystic Dreamer's Tarot.

Today I'm back tothe Quest tarot.

PuppetXeno:

Past:

Daughter of Cups (Reversed) -- You were disconnected from your emotions.

Nine of Wands (Reversed) -- Something was sucking in the energy. A power grid about to be overloaded and give out. An unneeded burst of energy. Could be a fight of some sort or an outburst. Sounds kind of contridictive of the first sentence, but what I'm getting is this: burst of energy as far as the overall situation is concerned, but this has drained your personal energy.

Father of stones (Reversed) -- A selfish man who has the potential to be destructive. He may be connected with the burst of power in the previous card.

Present:

Two of wands (Reversed) -- Discontent. Two people who's ideas, goals, and passions are incompatable or at odds. They aren't actively fighting, but a conflict may errupt in the future.

Son of Swords (Reversed) -- a person who is unwilling to see reason. Stubborn. Values his own wants over logic. Bay me one of the people involved in the conflict of interest described in the previous card.

Ten of Stones -- You have a lot of capital at your desposal.

Future:

Four of wands -- You will know how to put your ideas and passions to work to manifest what you want and it will be done in a calm fashion.

Strength -- You will gain new confidence, optimism and desire to move foreward.

The Hierophant (Reversed) -- YOu will take unconventional approach to things. you will not travel a traditional road but will go against the establishment and invent a new way of doing things.

Overall:

The Chariot -- The driving force behind everything is your willpower. It will give you the courage to overcome adversity, learn from misfortune, and force things to go into a positive and beneficial direction for you.

Please let me know where I was right and where I wasn't. I'll follow up w/ you in 3 weeks or so about the future portion.

 

[Jotto999]

EDIT: Oh, forgot about the gender. Male.

I'm skeptical but interested nonetheless.

 

[PuppetXeno]

Ahh cool! The reading's arrived, let me check:

PuppetXeno:

Past:

Daughter of Cups (Reversed) -- You were disconnected from your emotions.

Nine of Wands (Reversed) -- Something was sucking in the energy. A power grid about to be overloaded and give out. An unneeded burst of energy. Could be a fight of some sort or an outburst. Sounds kind of contridictive of the first sentence, but what I'm getting is this: burst of energy as far as the overall situation is concerned, but this has drained your personal energy.

Father of stones (Reversed) -- A selfish man who has the potential to be destructive. He may be connected with the burst of power in the previous card.

The only thing I can really tie in is the Father of Stones, a former unit manager (my direct boss) who had been extremely biased against me because of his personal frustrations with... everything. I've moved to a different unit so I don't have to deal with him anymore. I could say that he has drained my energy, but this didn't come in bursts. I've not been experiencing bursts of anything really, everything in my life is levelled, tempered, or gradual. Ok so my dog died 2 years ago, that was tough, the heaviest burst of emotion I've had since childhood. But I can't really say I've been disconnected from my emotions, not before, not after.

Present:

Two of wands (Reversed) -- Discontent. Two people who's ideas, goals, and passions are incompatable or at odds. They aren't actively fighting, but a conflict may errupt in the future.

Son of Swords (Reversed) -- a person who is unwilling to see reason. Stubborn. Values his own wants over logic. Bay me one of the people involved in the conflict of interest described in the previous card.

Ten of Stones -- You have a lot of capital at your desposal.

This could only refer to my only direct coworker, who is theist. Lol. Though - he's really an ok guy, except he's stubborn in his beliefs. Atleast he's accepted evolution.. But he tends to relapse every now and then. Still I can't fit that in too much with the two of wands, as I'm not that close with him. I'd like to link that to someone closer, a family member or someone in the band, but I'm not experiencing discontent in that area.

Oh.. a lot of capital - well I guess I'm doing ok, but I don't consider myself very wealthy. Let's say I don't have any financial worries - apart from having to work 40 hours a week.

Future:

Four of wands -- You will know how to put your ideas and passions to work to manifest what you want and it will be done in a calm fashion.

Strength -- You will gain new confidence, optimism and desire to move foreward.

The Hierophant (Reversed) -- YOu will take unconventional approach to things. you will not travel a traditional road but will go against the establishment and invent a new way of doing things.

Well yeah that sounds just about how I deal with life alright

Overall:

The Chariot -- The driving force behind everything is your willpower. It will give you the courage to overcome adversity, learn from misfortune, and force things to go into a positive and beneficial direction for you.

Please let me know where I was right and where I wasn't. I'll follow up w/ you in 3 weeks or so about the future portion.

Yes, I like the Chariot card a lot. I'll tell you a secret, I toyed with trying to create some sort of board-game out of a ouija bord, using runestones as "pawns" and tarot cards as "action" cards. Because of all the symbolism involved, it became way, way too elaborate to play with family, but it was lots of fun trying stuff out. During the test runs I had picked the "Chariot" card as my avatar card, so it's nice to see it show up here aswell :lol:

Ok, so overall: I couldn't identify well with the Past part, the Present part certainly does have elements I recognize, and the Future and Overall part is "on spot" with my self-image and what I want to hear

So, not too shabby!

That sounds SO awesome, I am definitly going to try something similar if I ever have to much time on my hands

 

[digitalbuddha48]

I want one! (male)

 

[nasher168]

Me too! (male).
I'm interested too, particularly as this is the only place I've ever come across a supposed tarot card reader who actually checks their results with the people. It shows a level of openness that I've never seen with this kind of thing. Also, I can only think of one major thing I've revealed on these boards. (Not telling where, though!)

 

[Creature]

PuppetXeno: Thanks for the feedback. I'll check back w/ you in about 3 weeks regarding the "future" part of the reading.

ThetaOmega:

Using Mystic Dreamer Tarot

Past:

2 of swords -- you were trying to make a decision, but couldn't make up your mind between 2 different choices

Wheel of fortune -- Fate, forces impacting the situation that are not in your control. decision was made for you.

The Hermit (Reversed) -- putting off making a decision, being alone.

To summarise: You were struggling w/ a decision, couldn't make up your mind. You took too long, then something happened that put the outcome of the situation out of your control.

Present:

Queen of Cups (Reversed)
Queen of Swords
Queen of Wands (Reversed)

Wow. Werid. You got 3 out of 4 queens, in a row, out of a deck of 78 cards. What are the chances of that?
Anyway, they could either represent 2 different women or, from what I'm feeling different aspects of one woman: Cold and uncaring, scheming, willing to twist any situation to server her needs alone. She posesses bad energy, corrupt. Basically: a bitch.

Future:

7 of swords -- picking up the pieces after something like a fight or a party. Dealing w/ the aftermath. At least that is what I am picking up from the card's illustration. The book has a rather different interpretation:

"The Seven of Swords indicates the potential for thievery, sneaking about, and trickery. Someone involved in the situation has deccided to use subterfuge to achieve his or her goals, which may or may not be honorable. A strategic plan has been devised and enacted and will likely be successful, at least as means to an end."

Page of Wands (Reversed) -- a person charging into a situation w/o thinking. Too excited to see what's going on.

10 of cups (Reversed) -- Not all will be well with the family life. Misunderstandings and minor discontent.

Overall:

7 of Pentacles -- You have worked hard, are tired, and it is almost time to reap the rewards of your hard work.
Can't say that this card makes much sense w/ the rest of the reading (at least from my point of view, what do you think?)

Please let me know what seems accurate/inacurate, etc.

Sorry it's taking me so long to get back to you guys. Creature's busy of late.
