Still going to hang with the Ananda Tarot - this week I'll be switching over to the Moonology Oracle though.  Posted this a little early as I'm working on a big project tomorrow and have vowed to stay off the internet tomorrow.   We'll see if I actually do that, LOL.  🚫

Hoi Polloi Tarot paired with the I Ching Pack - thanks VGimlet! 🦋

[AJ-ish/Sharyn]

VG is the project associated with the nanowrimo you generally do? Do you have a book written now, maybe several? 

 

 I'll be working with my new Sola Busca. Lovely cards except for being so shiny.

Thank you for the thread, VG. 🎃

It is!   This years NaNoWriMo I'm not working on just one book, instead I'm going to try to finish  three  novels  set in the same universe.   One needs about 20,000 words, one needs about 30, and the last one is about 10 away.   Which isn't quite what I usually do, but it needs to be done, and NaNo is a good way to focus.  I Haven't published anything yet, but I'm a step closer.  I have a good friend who is an editor, and she's going to take a look at them in exchange for credit when I finally do publish.   I have been researching eBook publishing, and apparently it's better if you have a body of work you can publish.    🙂    Right now I'm re-reading all three to make some preliminary notes about what I need to work on.   It's going to be fun, if a little different.    It's hard to put those new shiny ideas on ice though.

 

I'm glad you found your Vertigo tarot Madame Squee - it took me awhile to find my Ananda.   I know BASICALLY where all my decks are, but not exactly sometimes, Heh.

This week I'll be using the Hoi Polloi Tarot published by Hoi Polloi Inc. The oracle I'll also use is the I Ching Pack created by Richard Gill and Anthony Clark, and published by Thorsons. Today's cards are Two of Pentacles and 'Lake over Lake' (hexagram 58):

 

          There are times when I must juggle multiple tasks, but before I do, it might be best to ask whether guilt or approval-seeking is pushing me to take on some of them. I can handle a few obligations well, and many poorly. Quantity (how much I do) doesn't really matter when the quality of what I've done sucks. And when I'm in that frenzied, tap dancing and juggling mode, the one responsibility I often overlook is taking care of myself. As Michelle Obama put it, "We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list." Hexagram 58 (Lake over Lake) suggests unusual depth and clarity which describes "Truth and true friends - two joys that bring delight and success." Objective honesty that comes from those who love me can help me see past my juggling to what's actually important and necessary. That kind of clarity can generally whittle that 'to-do' list down to something much more manageable.
