Tarot Reading

At the dinner party last weekend aaron and I hadn our tarot reading done.

We both got this unpleasantness:






Which is a groundshaking, game-changer that you can't possibly see coming.  (all I kept thinking was:  Well, if I can imagine a pregnancy at least it won't be a pregnancy!)

This week we fell to pieces.  Ground shaking, game-changing pieces. 

It was quite terrifying.  honestly.

I'm hoping that the worst has passed, and that there's no more evil tower in store for us.  (Or unexpected pregnancies!)

However, i must say, in doing a google image search for the tower card image (none of them, incidentally, seemed quite as threatening or ominous as did the one in andrea's beautiful deck), i came accross one that made me smile.  Oh, sure, i know it's supposed to conjure all kinds of dire implications and shadows of patriarchy and sexual dominance and power and whatnot, but the thirteen year old girl inside me couldn't help but ghasp and giggle and then look closer... hmmmmmm....

anyway.  How's this for a threatening tower?


See more of this intriguing and sexually-charged deck here: Nudie Tarot ;)
The artwork is rather arresting...
