Tarot and Your Characters

[Asher Daniels]

So far your readings have been very accurate and I'm curious.. Could you do one for Azazel Savage and Asher Daniel? <3

[Hideki Yoshida]

I'm going to pretend I didn't look at their profiles beforehand and view this reading as objectively as I can.

I'm going to use a four card spread:

1. What brought you two together?
2. What feelings does the other person arouse in you?
3. The natural culmination of this relationship.
4. The one thing that defines the relationship. A "landmark" or symbol of the relationship.

Since Asher's asking the question, the "you" is him and "the other" is Azazel.

1. Eight of Pentacles

The Eight of Pentacles is usually seen as a card of "work", of mastering a craft, of industry. Was it something work-related that brought them together?

2. The Tower

The Tower is sudden, destructive change, and is one of the more negative cards in the deck. This suggests that Azazel arouses very strong feelings in Asher. A "Tower" person is often very self-destructive, and it's rare that anyone embodies this major.

3. The Lovers

Can you say "irony"? The Lovers symbolizes a union of opposites (much like Temperance), and is, as you might imagine, a good card for relationship readings in general. It's also a card of choices. Opposites attract, perhaps?

4. King of Swords

The King of Swords is "a man of the highest ethical standards" (from here: www.ata-tarot.com/resource/cards/skg.html). He may be active in the fields of law and government. However, he lacks empathy. This card might signify Asher himself. Perhaps this relationship is going to test his moral and ethical boundaries. Perhaps it's cautioning him that he needs to be impartial, like the King of Swords.

[Hideki Yoshida]

I found this article entitled "RPG Character Creation Using Tarot" (Part One) and thought it might be of interest. It's for tabletop RPGs, but I think it would work for boards like this.

[Heinkel Wolfe]

Would it be too much trouble to request a reading for Kiara Newheart and Heinkel Wolfe? I'm curious as to what the cards have to say about this new Mistress/Slave pairing... XD <3 :3

[Hideki Yoshida]

Coming right up!

What brought you two together?
Three of Wands

The Three of Wands can be a card of new beginnings, of success after hardship, and of respect for oneself. I think that the first and second meanings are particularly apt in this case. I'd consider slavery to fall under the definition of "hardship" and I think Heinkel would agree, wouldn't she?

What feelings does the other person arouse in you?
The High Priestess

Normally I would say something about intuition, but the High Priestess is also a mysterious figure who keeps their secrets to themselves. The High Priestess's attention is focused on what's inside, not outside of herself.

What does all this have to do with Kiara? Maybe Heinkel just can't figure her out (for whatever reason) or maybe Kiara seems rather closed off.

The natural culmination of this relationship.
Three of Cups

LOL, I call the Three of Cups in the Tarot of Vampyres "the threesome card" because it looks like the two females in the card are taking a male away for snack time nefarious things. The Three of Cups can be a "party" card, or a "just hangin' with my friends" card, either way, it's a good card to come up if you like happy endings! I think it might also mean that they'll definitely be more open and honest with each other as time goes on.

The one thing that defines the relationship. A "landmark" or symbol of the relationship.
Six of Swords

The Six of Swords is the "odd one out" in this reading. It can signify a journey of some sort, but it can also mean leaving emotional turmoil behind or maybe even running away from your problems. Since it is out of place in this otherwise happy-go-lucky reading, I'd pay special attention to it. Maybe it's time to leave something that isn't useful to either of them behind? Maybe they are going to be taking a trip at some point. I suppose you could also see the relationship as a journey in itself.

[Heinkel Wolfe]

Amazing how accurate the cards are... *bows to the epicness*

[Hideki Yoshida]

My Tarot of Vampyres LOVES relationship readings....I have no idea why...it's like how some people swear that cars have personalities.

[Heinkel Wolfe]

I've noticed that... *has done some online stuff, as she doesn't own her own tarot deck* Which makes me sad...

[Kiara Newheart]

^ That was an awesome reading. I'm curious to see how the Six of Swords will play out! xD Also- Three of Cups description was hilarious.

Now I have to get out my decks and use them more often... (I collect tarot decks. It's sad.)

[Hideki Yoshida]

I have about sixteen decks (including non-tarot oracle cards). I think the collection's grown since I last counted, though. I'm trying to keep purchases to a minimum, though. It's an expensive little collection (although not as expensive as my friend's dolls, the cheaper ones are like $600).

[Kiara Newheart]

I have about 4 decks at the moment- had more, but one went to my mother, another to a friend... And I can only find one of the decks that I own ><" And it's a deck that doesn't click with me, unfortunately. It's pretty, but ugh.

[Hideki Yoshida]

I know that feeling, I wanted a Paulina for ages, and then I got it in a trade and I felt...nothing. The artwork is nice, but I feel like it's this expensive china doll that I can't touch because I'll break it.

Anyways, who wants another reading? I'm itching to try out my oh-so-creepy Bohemian Gothic Tarot.

[Caleb Fletcher]

Thankfully, the deck I'm not clicking with (lovely art- I got it because it was bright and had manga-based artwork) seems to be because I just haven't really handled the cards. I now can use them.... with spotty success and feelings towards them. But I miss my dragon tarot so much!

Caleb Fletcher and Alfie Price! ^.^ Soo adorable. I'm curious.

[Hideki Yoshida]

*shakes her Bohemian Gothic* Wake up, you!
BG: *yawns* But I want to go back to being dark and broody...
Me: You're doing relationship readings!
BG: Don't you use the Vampyres for that?
Vampyres: *twirling around in a gothic lolita dress and wearing a silly hat* Wheeeeeee!
Me: >_< You're taking over for the Vampyres tonight!
BG: *SIGH*

1. What brought you two together?
The Magician

If I were feeling lazy, I'd be tempted to say that the Magician is the Slave Master: charismatic, powerful, trickster-like, but it could also stand for a sudden burst of creativity in some way.

2. What feelings does the other person arouse in you?
Nine of Wands

Duty and responsibility. Does Caleb feel responsible for Alfie in some way? The Little White Book also indicates that this sort of duty comes with a cost, so be wary of that when considering how he feels about Alfie.

3. The natural culmination of this relationship.
Eight of Wands

The cards seem to think this will be a brief relationship, or that a lot might happen at once. Perhaps a friendship will develop into a love affair before either of them can say "go".

4. The one thing that defines the relationship. A "landmark" or symbol of the relationship.
Three of Swords

Oh boy, the heartbreak card. The LWB states: "pain over the failure of a sexual partnership or a passionate friendship". I think the overall message is that they're better off as friends.

I'm feeling generous this evening, so I'm going to draw a card from the Goddess Guidance Oracle, because the goddesses love everyone and their sugary sweetness will make all the doom and gloom ALL BETTER!

The card I drew is:

Artemis: Guardian
"You and your loved ones are safe and spiritually protected."

Oh, well, that makes perfect sense NO IT DOESN'T!
Erm, well, Artemis is a virgin goddess, so I think she's definitely saying they should stay friends! There, that works!
