Silicon Dawn and Graduate School

[rax]

So I got my copy of the Silicon Dawn Tarot today. (You should all go buy one.) Because I'm having angst over this lately, I decided to ask it about graduate school --- how it was going, why am I here, what am I getting out of it. I realized that rather than traditional tarot spreads, most of which other than three-card draw I've never really liked

This is the best entry ever written. I am going to do this spread for myself immediately and come back here and show you a picture. I love this to death.

Please tell me more about this gorgeous deck I am seeing?

I am glad you like it!

The deck you are seeing is the Silicon Dawn Tarot, drawn by my friend shatterstripes and published by Lo Scarabeo. Her website has almost all of the cards --- it's just missing a few of the Secret Extras like the 8 and a half, or the She-Is-Legend, or the fourth fool, which I can imagine some people taking out but I really like so far. (Although the one time I drew the scrawny androgynous cat-thing I had utterly no idea how to read it. Need more practice.)

That's quite the spread you've got there! (I didn't know you did tarot at all, awesome.) I really like the ten of cups as the sort of Final Destination card for you, in any of the decks I know well. In both the Waite and Peggy's deck, water is born[e] in air, but in Peggy's deck it's more of an active process and the style of jubilation isn't so... well, pastoral.

(Oh and if you are interested, you can get it from Amazon although apparently they need to restock.)

Thanks!

That's all very interesting. I hope you bond more with Death and cups. :)
