Today's Card: The Devil

BONDAGE

MATERIALISM

IGNORANCE

HOPELESSNESS

According to learntarot.com...

experiencing bondage

feeling tied down against your will losing independence allowing yourself to be controlled being addicted and enslaved submitting to another

focusing on the material

being caught up in appearances believing only in the physical forgetting the spiritual

staying in ignorance

being unaware operating within a narrow range experiencing limitation choosing to stay in the dark fearing the unknown being taken in by appearances

feeling hopeless

despairing lacking faith seeing a cold world thinking negatively doubting

How appropriate.  That about nails it.  Oh, cards o'mine, you know me well.  

Not staying here. Time for a serious change.  

Up, up and away!

Lady with Tiger

My new tiger art got here today. Yay. Of course, I had to unknowingly get an odd size goodie thinking it would be easy to frame, only to find out that... no... odd size... no frame. Bummer. 

But it's here. And I like it.  I do wish I knew what it said. I'm typically against buying things that say something I can't read and understand myself, but... I just totally had to have this. Twas a soul cries out for kind of thing again, not sure what that's about, Oriental matches nothing in my house, but I kept going back to it, even dreamed about it, it was driving me crazy. So I bought it. 

This shall serve as it's unveiling. 

Lady with Tiger...

I like it. Don't care if it matches. It's going to look good when I frame it.  Need to take it down with my Book of the Dead Papyrus and frame them up good.  What an ecclectic house I am making.  My framed signed books, my Freya statue, my Oriental Tiger, and an Egyptian Book of the Dead Papyrus. Interesting.  I should find out what that papyrus says.  Whatever. Looks friggin awesome. :)

Freya's unique space all of her own.  Yay.

Freya Plays Jewelry

Yep. Freya's been playing jewelry maker.  It's fun.  It's hard.  I kinda suck at it.  But I'm learning so... yay. I want to learn how to make wire wrap jewelry, pendants and bracelets and such.  Spent the weekend just messing around with some of my new stones and beads, and made... hippie jewelry.

I'm getting the concept down, I need to get some better wire, nicer wire, but.. I'm getting it figured out.  Most important... I'm having fun making stuff.  It makes me happy.

Got myself a bunch of moss agate, tiger eye, amethyst, and stones that I have no clue what they are for practicing on. 

Go jewelry, go jewelry. 

WooT!
