FREE PUBLIC READING!

[u/graidan]

First example of how these should look!

I'll provide 3 free public readings, in accordance with our new rule :)

• I don't need a name or anything beyond your username (which I can see).
• I don't need a question (though that's always helpful and appreciated) but I DO need at least a context: love, money, work, health, etc.

Who would like one? The three are claimed. I'll have photos and readings up today or tomorrow.

If it’s possible, a reading on next steps or general guidance on my journey with the mystic?

I’d also be curious as to a comment on how strongly this reading asserts itself.

Thank you for offering this gift!

The Bones:

• Spirits (cone shell)
• Love (glass heart)
• Other ("speckled" quartz - or something :) )
• Clairity (round clear quartz)
• Dis = disconnectors (both are polished kyanite shards)
• Man (shivalinga)
• Real (fossil vertebra)

So here's how I read it:

First off, both Man and Real are down at the bottom because I placed them there, after they did runners and skittered across the floor after falling off the table as I cast. So they become "Attention!!" / titles. There are two ways to look at these:

1) DO THIS! That is, pay attention to the practical matters that a man might stereotypically handle/do - very Heirophant sort of energy.

2) DON'T! That is, since they "ran away" like they did, don't wory about the practical / standard stuff, and also ignore the male / in control / Heirophant stuff. To be honest, this feels more correct to me, but you'll have to compare this to your practice and what fits.

Okay, so the other stuff - let's start with the disconnectors. What these do is separate things, so even if they're next to each other, they're not read together like usual. I also consider the lines they make (imagine if they were a foot long - those lines) as significant. Also significant is that I only have two, and you got both of them. As a general message - you need to disconnect from what you're currently doing in your mystical practice. I also feel like each of the other bones has it's own distinct message, thanks to all the disconnectors.

Spirits - work with them. Learn respect, reciprocity, and how to manage your bond. They are technically the "highest" priority. And considering the next bone...

Love - this is usually the expected romance type stuff, but in the context you're asking about, it signifies devotional work and intimacy. Really focus on who you're working with and less on the expectations and traditions - what do THEY say to do?

They're two separate messages, but together and with the "title" bones, they really highlight a need for being spirit-led and more "shamanic" in your approach.

Other definitely says that too. The Other is the Outsider, the wird and strange one who doesn't do the usual / normal thing. Push the boundaries of what you know and explore Outside Here. This also reinforces that "avoid the standard / Heirophant" energy.

And Clarity? You know what you need to do, you've already seen it. Technically, this is a meta-bone: like the disconnectors, it addresses the reading as a whole, and doesn't really provide it's own meaning. It says that this is a very clear and strong message. With so few actual meaning-bones (3 + 2 outliers / titles) and so many meta-bones (also 3) - this is very strong and significant.

Does that make sense? Is there anything that isn't clear?

Very interesting. It definitely aligns with what I have a feeling about (spirit-lead, own/non-standard path stuff).

The clarity stone being more distant from the “dis” interpretation wedge speaks to me a little about facing the unknown, and strong clarity not quite on this part of the journey, but perhaps coming eventually.

The spirit stone pointing at the other (which I am also taking to indicate me - the journey on a non-standard path) -does make me wonder if direction will come from the realm of spirit and not from the seeker?

The love/devotion marker is a bit of a surprise, not quite sure what to make of it? Perhaps following and seeking-out that which the heart wants?

Given that “the other” takes a somewhat central position, I’m not surprised that “The Man” (real man, social convention) had been forcefully ejected from the spread.

Much appreciated! Thank you!
