Sick Dreams


 2/6


  Due to staying up all night watching Aquarius and finishing off a bottle of cheap guinea pinot grigio I was too lazy to write down my first couple of dreams that came with the ice storm. No worries, the third made up for them all. I was back in the house in Oakland only it was different, and there were other occupants including an old balding man. The place had a massive attic, and the old man opened up a grocery store up there. He said it was always his dream. I was flabbergasted by the bins of fresh fruits and vegetables: peppers and bananas. There was a keg of chardonnay, and I filled my fishbowl glass from the floor. But there was more, a lot more. At the far concrete block wall was a set of restrooms and an elevator. Beyond that was another room, a Christmas room, brimming with decorated trees with baskets of ceramics, ornaments, and crafts on the floor. I saw Mummy and Daddy, and none of us could believe it. Daddy was a bit overcome with it all and just sat and rested. The old man took me back to the front of the attic where there was a little room with a window that led out to sea. On a deck were a group of native fishermen and the water was swarming with black and white fish about the size of bluegills with fangs like a terrier. Dreaming, I knew their name, something like spelt. They were thrashing against the glass and broke through, three of them were flopping on the floor. There were a couple other women standing against the wall. I left the room having to use the bathroom. The bathrooms were a surprise: three of them, all different. The third was big for handicapped and pretty standard, but the first two were decorated with wreaths of raffia with red ribbons, hand towels, and other country decor. The first one had a shower with a plastic curtain. None of them locked, however, so I couldn’t use them. Mummy was there, using the second restroom. After leaving I wanted to go downstairs as I knew there were more bathrooms there. First I ran into Tim. He asked me if I could get him a Mountain Dew, and I told them they had Dr. Pepper. Then I met my brother and told him about the natives and fish. There were all sorts of cardboard boxes lining the wall full of an assortment of things including Red Witch who I took. I was wondering what she was doing there and if the old man had looted my dollhouses, only I could not remember seeing them. Then I came upon a girl, who I knew; she told me she was with a guy who I had dumped while taking a bath. I told her that was not how it happened as I was picturing it in my mind: I was in a clawfoot bathtub frothy with bubbles. My hair was tied back, and I had a natural sea sponge. Jess from Gilmore Girls came in, and I told him to get lost or something of the like. Then he, Jess, joined the girl. He was wearing a long dark wool coat and a red scarf. I still had to go to the bathroom, which is common in my dreams because I really have to go. 😂 That’s when I met Matt Koett. I showed him Red Witch, and he asked about the other dolls. I said that I didn’t know that I’d only found Red Witch. I finally reached the elevators where there was a girl with red hair that I’d known in the dream. She was selling fresh vegetables like green peppers and had a sign on her stand that read Live Oats. We spoke for a bit, and I moved on to where a woman was standing at the elevators complaining about missing her flight due to the monstrous market. There was a wall of stuffed animals like pink Squishmallows and lots more behind her when I woke up because I  had to go to the bathroom. 


2/7


  Very sick last night, so I did not dream until morning. I was at a class reunion. It began beneath a yellow and white tent where I was with some dream people that I knew when Janeen joined us, cute and chatty as ever. After she had gone John  came in, and when he heard that Janeen had just been there he said that she was such a slut. I told him that I’d heard the same about him, so he left. I was folding a burgundy satin sleeveless gown and a little black sequined shrug in the back corner that I had planned to wear to the outdoor ball later. Then there was a sort of alumni variety show. Theresa was there afterwards although she wasn’t in my class, which I hadn’t thought of. There were others, dream people, that I don’t really know. Theresa and I were in a dark sort of alcove, a place where two doors met. Curt, dressed in black, came in and stood against the door. He was trying to get my attention, “Dana… Dana”, but I was talking to somebody and had my back towards him. He got huffy and left. Theresa said that he was rude as usual. I told her that he had gotten snippy with Susan lately too. Now we had a kind of This is Your Life spread. It looked like a flea market, (I dream about them a lot), but the items were not for sale, they only represented our lives. I was talking to a woman who at first I did not remember, Cindy, maybe. She was accompanied by an older woman with black tied back hair, dressed in gypsy like silk skirts, her aunt. There was a black and white eight by ten photograph of her with her late parents. Supposedly she was some sort of debutante or lesser royalty. She had silk dolls that her aunt had made. When it got time to pack our stuff up and put it away I was helping her. Then I remembered having met her when we were teenagers. I put a little box with yellow and orange plastic gems in a box and taped it up. Her aunt said that it was cheap, and that she hadn’t made it, perhaps, her sister had. I was so busy helping others that I had avoided my own hoard that Theresa was packing up. I looked under a table, there were lots of big cardboard boxes, but they all had somebody’s last name printed in red magic marker on them. I looked at a box of mine that Mummy had sent. It was full of junk including a naked wooden doll with a primitive face wearing a bonnet. Her body was smooth and straight. She was a bit bigger than a Barbie. I noticed a beautiful black and gold Japanese bed with white silk sheets that a woman who was not in my class had in the front of the room. I was thinking that people had brought their very best. Leaving through a sunny glass door like you’d find at a diner, Jennifer Davidson told me to keep in touch. I was thinking that I wouldn’t, but that maybe we’d have a party and how much I liked parties.

Captivating Tarot


 Got my copy of Captivating Tarot today. They far exceed my expectatations and are printed in America. Look around, everything, including US Games, are printed in China. As a teacher and simpleton I developed these cards seventeen years ago so anybody might be able to read them. Aunt Fawnie taught me to read playing cards when I was nine. We saw my cousin, who she had raised, was going to jail. Same cousin, who I still adore, stopped talking to me years later for not reading his cards which I knew would be bad. The Banshee cried when he died. I don't care if Mummy always said I was full of myself. I've got umpteen Tarot decks, and these are my favorite. Be sure to pick up instructions and symbolism at a  discount if you are a novice.

Captivating Tarot


 Like my DARK SHADOWS cards, Captivating Tarot has not been available since I was printing them myself and selling them on regretsy. It's not only available again, but you might pick up reasonable instructions and symbolism cards as well as notebooks. They are not included with the deck as I tried to keep the price down. I attempted to print them out on the cards, but the print was too small to read. I'm going to include them here.

Tarot Notebook


My Aunt taught me to read cards. I always keep the original intention of playing cards in mind when dealing with the Tarot, seeing them as a kind of spiritual solitaire. I am not at all certain of what kind of force is behind the cards; I just know that they are accurate and true. I have learned to trust the cards as I have come to trust my own intuition. Perhaps that is the power of the cards; I believe they are born of the subconscious and the Jungian notion of the collective unconscious of the world.

I have always read all of the cards, shuffling like a gambler and cutting the deck three times while formulating my curiosities in mind. I tap on the top card three times before laying out the spread.

Keep in mind while dealing with the Tarot that the cards reveal the big picture; that is to say, that you may think something is very important at the time that does not even register with the cards, as they are attempting to reveal something far more critical to you. Most of our human issues are pretty petty in the light of the world, God, life, and death.

I can tell at first glance if the spread is accurate or not. The cards will be rendered inaccurate if you attempt to do several readings for different people, one after the other. Perhaps the reader’s energy is sapped, I believe, or perhaps confusion takes over.

I have color coded this deck. The Major Arcana, being the most powerful cards, have a black background, enveloping everything, reminiscent of the womb, the cave.

The cards are also elemental. Swords/Spades have a red background representing violence, destruction, hatred, war fare, the power of air, the atmosphere, metal, forged by man, the mind and blood of man. Blue, gray, the colors of air, also prevail throughout the suit, as are black and gold, the tangible colors of man. Generally speaking, Swords usually represent people of a militant nature. They usually have dark hair, light skin and eyes, the wintry sort. But, remember, with the Tarot, the physical as well as spiritual nature of the person is represented.

You may think the person to be of one suit, while the cards will deem them otherwise. You must wait and see what the cards say about the person. When doing a reading, the person’s court significator will reveal itself. They may even be represented as a card from the Major Arcana. Their significator may change over the course of time.

That being said, the Wands/Clubs, have a green background, representing the creative force of nature, the power of fire, and wood. It is not a fire of destruction, but the creative, metaphysical fire of passion, magic, and ambition. Wands are doers. While Swords represent the air signs of the zodiac, Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra, the thinkers, and talkers, Wands represent the fire signs, Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, people of a more childish, physical nature, artists, writers, teachers…The active colors of fire, gold and orange, are also spread throughout the suit. Wands usually have brown or auburn hair and light skin and eyes.

Cups/Hearts are represented with a blue background, the element of water, the realm of dreams. They are from the deep, the merpeople, and are often misunderstood, for their world is not the tangible world of man, but the watery depths of the heart. The golden color of the chalice is also dominate throughout the suite; however, unlike Pentacles, not the gold of man, but the golden lined clouds of dreams, captured eternally in the depths of the chalice. Cups are the dreamers, deep water signs, Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. They are visionaries. Usually they are fair haired and lovely. Addiction is the ill fated quality of the Cups.

Pentacles/Diamonds have a golden background, representing the earth element, the power of gold, money, and man. They are the earth signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. They represent the power of wealth, family, real estate, the land, and worldly things. Like the Earth, they are slow, but steadfast. They are the best with practical matters and live in the real world with feet rooted to the ground. They are usually dark complected, with dark, curling hair, and deep, rich eyes.

Generalities with the suits concerning race…Not the rule, as with life, so with the Tarot…There are exceptions to every general rule.

Swords: Celtic, Saxon, Asian

Wands: American, Irish, Australian, New Zealand

Cups: Nordic, Anglo, Eastern European

Pentacles: African, Mediterranean, Jewish, Middle Eastern, Indian

Certain races such as the English, Irish, German…etc…are extremely difficult to categorize into one specific suit. For instance, how can all Asians be Swords? That is why it is difficult to determine suites according to physical attributes such as race or even birthdays. Personality and psychology have more to do with the Tarot, where intuition and imagination replace realities such as time or place.

The Royal House

Kings are mature, decisive men of great power. They rule the suits with great calm and authority.

Queens are women of a subtle sort of power. Theirs’ is more power of the manipulative sort. All the Royals are capable of great power of their own making, both good and evil.

Knights are the young, life’s blood of The Royal House, the activists, chivalric, or arrogant, noble, or incredibly stupid, they all portray valor of action as their element. Knights, as in chess, are always depicted on horseback, suggesting their harness on nature. They are men with great power of suggestion. Jacks, in playing cards, are more a combination of Knights and Pages.

Pages are youths, studious, or disruptive and unruly, they often symbolize and personify other elements in a reading. They are both boys and girls.

***

Please Note: If more than half the cards in a reading are reversed, this does not necessarily mean that they are all ill dignified. Some of the cards, most, I believe, only have one true meaning, which is why I have not included upright and reversed meanings for all of the cards. I have tried to simplify matters without losing the true meaning and integrity of the cards.

The Twenty-two Major Arcana

The Fool dances madly and blindly amongst rose colored clouds. Joy, childishness, stupidity. The Fool is a wise creature that disregards all reasonable, sensible solutions. Carefree and gullible, The Fool follows the heart, is rash, and rushes into whims and folly.

  12. The Hanged Man is hanging for his treachery, his noble treachery. He has some valuable information, and his pocket watch has stopped. Funny thing is, he could escape if he wanted, but hangs, suspended, seeing the world from another perspective. The rope is the line between life and death. This card also depicts suicide.

  13. Death The Mothman is an omen of death and disaster. All death, red, yellow, and white are dispelled, or perhaps it is ash, or a warning in SONAR. He also symbolizes change, metamorphosis.

  14. Temperance An angel mixing elements into art, she is virtuous, patient, and kind.

  15. The Devil Under cover of night, The Devil is a charming man, staring in fascination with his latest kill. Surrounded with flame, devil’s ivy, and devil’s tongue, he is dangerous and beguiling. He symbolizes pride, greed, and lust. He is sadistic and controlling.

  19. The Sun Nurturing force, white light, happiness, well being, abundance. If ill dignified it is a warning of fire, big fires, far away, and watch for small house fires.

  21. The World Fate in action. Travel, success. Things are working in your favor. Worldly events.

Readings

1.) Sometimes I like to pick just one card from the deck and meditate on it. I also find this provokes dreams, which can lead to deeper understanding of myself.

2.) I find the alchemist’s runic reading of only three cards, representing the past, present, and future to be useful at times. In this case, the past, may be distant past, and the future is to be within a year or two.

3.) I usually read the cross spread:

11

Outcome


6

Best possible outcome







1& 2 Significator

Querent

Present

3

Crosses you

5

Past

4

Foundation

Basis

7

Future

8

Querent

Answer

9

Enviroment

Others

10

Hopes

Fears




















Choose the significator’s, questioner’s or querent’s card from the deck, or who you think may best represent the person you are reading for. Lay it down, face up, shuffle, and cut the deck. If you are reading for someone else, have them shuffle and cut the deck while formulating their questions and concerns in mind. Lay out the first five cards as according to the cross diagram.

2) This card is laid directly over the querent’s card and represents the present and now.

3) This card is crossing the querent and reflects what is opposing, obstacles in the way, whether good or bad.

4) This card is the foundation or basis of the reading and reflects both the past and present environment.

5) This card reflects the querent’s past, perhaps distant, but usually not. It is usually a reflection of how the past affects the future.

6) This card is the best possible outcome of the situation. That does not mean it is the definitive future, but rather, depends upon the actions of the querent. This is, perhaps, the trickiest card of the reading.

7) The card of the future. Could be six months, might be a couple of years


Now lay out the last four cards.


8) This card either represents the querent, is their significator card, or somehow answers or describes them.

9) This card reflects the querent’s environment or home life. Other important people in the querent’s life may appear here.

10) Hopes and fears of the questioner appear here. This card can be a little cloudy as well, because people tend to hide from their fear in one form or another.

11) This card is the final outcome, the most important card of the reading. If you feel that the reading was faulty, you may take this card, use it as the significator card, and start over.

Dreams 7/8


 Dreamed I found two tiny precious kittens, one gray, the other brown. I was holding them, squeezing them, stroking them, and loving them. They were both boys, brothers. I was definitely keeping them and thinking of names like Astaroth, Francis, and Raphael.

Dreams 2/28

 

The dreaming began in Mummy's kitchen. I was eating Jolly Time popcorn and reading Daddy's paperback book, The Most Dangerous Game. It was fat with a playing card, the queen of spades, on the glossy black cover. A blonde woman was there pouring Poppycock into a bowl, talking about the nuts and work. I went up to Mummy's room and was reading a typed letter from a friend to her that said that Becky Dowling now lived in Ottawa. 

In the next dream I was part of a group at a crystal convention or show. I was with another girl, checking out a man's booth. He was sitting there, and the girl was taking her time looking over a tiered collection. I could see a couple plastic mermaids with curled tails that I handled and returned to the top tier. I had a small pack of laminated cards in the palm of my hand. When the girl was finally done looking the keeper got up said, "That's enough.", and closed the display, folded it up like a ladder, and returned it to a case behind the counter. I told him I didn't get a chance to look at it, but he didn't care. I looked over the rest of his goods and the little pack of cards that had photos of capybaras on them and put them back. I continued to browse through the many vendors with big crystals and red hematite points, but didn't see anything I wanted. One of the sellers told me that the salty man had things stolen from him. 

Finally, I walked past Ron's study. He was sitting at his desk and had something dark running down the temple of the left side of his head. He asked me to leave so he could cry.

Dreams 3/17


Dreamt I was at a fashion academy. I was sitting in an auditorium watching the head instructor who looked suspiciously like Prince. He had two girls on stage with him. The one was unremarkable, but the other was dressed as the goddess America, according to head master Prince. She looked like a cockroach. The dress was brown and flapper meets armadillo. The armadillo won. It had layers of what looked like big scales and a little matching cap formed out of two scales. Next, Prince had a good looking Latino boy who must've been dressed like a conquistador. That was until Prince got to him and made him more like the Hawaiian King Kamehameha. Apparently Rico Suave could not stand up in his current garments, however, as by the time the dream ended he was on the floor of the stage, sliding around like a fish out of water, trying to stand back up. Prince was no help. He seemed angered that Rico could not wear his fashion.

Dreams 1/12


Last night I dreamt that I was in the back yard of the house where I grew up. My mother was there. There were two kittens, maybe four or five months old. One was a calico, and the other was black with auburn undertones, almost like a black Siamese. I was holding the dark one. She was very vocal and lovable, soft and a little bit fuzzy. 

From The Black Death

   "usury and all commercial ventures were suspect because they assumed control over the future, a mortgage of time which was reserved...
