A comfortable fit

I asked my Nine Coins Oracle if it liked the new bag I got for it...

I'll take that as a Yes. 😊

When I'm not reading them...

... I'm doing jigsaw puzzles of them. 

Seriously, how could I resist? I'll be starting this today. 😁

Wishing Everyone a Happy & Healthy 2022! 🎉🥂🔮

As "seasonal" music goes, I've always liked Carol of the Bells.

Rearranged in a minor key?... Love it.

Wishing you a Happy Whatever!

Update - The deck is still available for download but is now behind a minimum pay wall.

The lovely Kristen, teacher of art-meets-oracle classes and maker of tarot and oracle decks, has added a FREE TO DOWNLOAD "Spooky Season" themed 32-card oracle over on Ko-Fi.

"Oracle" Jigsaw Puzzle for Easter 2021

I'm having an "Easter" break from RRs today. Instead, I've set up another

JIGSAW PUZZLE

for your entertainment.

I chose an appropriate card from the Magdalene Oracle
by Toni Carmine Salerno.

Have fun!

Random Reading – Rebel Deck edition (including gifties 🎁)

I've given up on doing the usual RRs for now because the messages are all being influenced, unsurprisingly, by… current events.

So, in the immortal words of Shannon Gomez, creator of Rebel Deck: The Oracle with Attitude – "F*CK IT!" Let's have some "bad a$$" cards instead.

Don't wind yourself up over the stuff going on around you. You have zero control over that sh*t.

Focus your energy and emotional resources on doing the right things.

Now to the gifties.

Shannon is giving her Rebel Coloring and Rebel Pages digital downloads away for FREE “during the COVID-19 crisis”. 👏👏👏

Stay home. Stay well.

I always knew I was certifiable

Phew! Thank goodness for that. Could have been embarrassing otherwise.

20 for '20

To kick off 2020, I'm giving a free mini reading to the first 20 people to comment on my post in Judy Reads Cards - for free! (<-- click here!) on Facebook.

Freebie Friday - #7

Pages of Shustah is a strange deck, with its quirky-cute images in stark primary colours, and its unusual background and concept. Plus it wasn't easy to get a hold of a copy, so I really ought to use it more.

On that note, I would like to get in a bit of practice with it, so if you don't mind being a guinea pig...

I bought my copy in 2015, direct from Temple of the Living God's Miracles Bookstore. It's also listed by Morning Light Bookstore but I don't know if that's up-to-date.

Random Reading - #37

Paris Debono gets a fair bit of stick around the cartomancy community. I don't really get why. Yes, he has a somewhat outrageous personality and doesn't mind having a laugh and a joke. And yes, he does rather churn out the decks and isn't shy about promoting them.

But he's a damn good reader, he's very generous with his knowledge and his time, and the decks he produces are generally attractive, unique, and useful.

I mention all this because I was looking around my collection today to see what I wanted to work with and decided on this little number -
Paris Debono's "Gypsy Tattoo Mongrel Deck". 😁
Yep, it is a bit of a hybrid, but it works.

This is one of the very few decks I read with reversals, because of the differing playing cards suits in the corners and the effect it has on facings. I love this aspect of it, as well as the art, and the fact that it has repeats of some cards with opposing facings and different suit combos.

But I only discovered all of that once I had it.

I bought it because it had this card...

How useful is that, right?! 😂

So.

No one took me up on my last Freebie Friday offer. Dang, can't even give the things away. 😉

I expect anyone who read the post sensed I probably wasn't in the best frame of mind to do any readings and thought, sensibly, "I'll pass for now, thanks", LOL!

But with the Silly Season safely out of the way, I'm good to go...

### CLOSED ### Try the next one... 

We're fast approaching the time of the year that I affectionately refer to as the "C-word". This will probably be my last Freebie Friday until after the silly season.

But I have next week off, so between writing C-word cards, racking my brain trying to come up with C-word present ideas, shopping for C-word presents, wrapping C-word presents... I should still be able to squeeze in one little reading.

### We have a winner! Better luck next time. ###

It's that time again. And I'm changing it up a bit this week 'coz Mama's got a brand new deck. 😁

Instead of tarot or playing cards, I'm offering a 5-card reading with these little lovelies -

Idalia Fortune Telling Cards

"Idalia" is a Lenormand variant printed in England around 1910. Lenormand works best with clear questions about practical matters. So if you have such a question...

Clare - please drop your question in the comments. Ta!

A little while ago I hinted that I might be offering another free reading here soon. As is always the way, things immediately got too busy, so it didn't happen.

Until now.

Is anybody there? 😏

**Closed** The offer has been claimed, but I'll probably post another one in the not too distant future, so stayed tuned.

I'm beginning to wonder if anyone actually reads my scribbles.

The stats are depressing and I've yet to get a comment.

I don't mind lurkers. I often lurk myself. But I always tick Like or a reaction button just to let the person know someone's been there.

I was thinking about this as I was dropping off to sleep last night, and I came up with a cunning plan.

Colour synchronicity!

Guess who pulled the same Color Mage Oracle card as me yesterday.

None other that the fabulous Bernard Charles himself!
