It looks like the Empress might be taking over from the Queen of Cups as my follow-me card. I think it's a positive step... right?

The draw I just did for myself (and I don't, usually, I haven't drawn for myself in AGES) was hilariously enough covered by the Eight of Swords-- yeah that's my icon there-- and crossed by the Empress, so. idk.

But my outcome cards? Six of Swords and Five of Pentacles? Not such a bright future, okay, I've already been displaced once, and I'm already living on someone else's good graces.

....mmmyep, feel like a drag on my parents again.


Okay, before I pass out, have a song I've been listening to while I've been doing these readings. It's 17 minutes long, but lovely.

Joanna Newsom - Only Skin

snippet of lyrics (full ones here):

well, what is this craziness? this crazy talking?
you caught some small death when you were sleepwalking

it was a dark dream, darlin', it's over
the firebreather is beneath the clover
beneath his breathing there is cold clay, forever
a toothless hound-dog choking on a feather

but I took my fishingpole (fearing your fever)
down to the swimminghole, where there grows bitter herb
that blooms but one day a year by the riverside - I'd bring it here:
apply it gently
to the love you've lent me
