You know what, why not? It's been a while since I've done one of these, they're generally fun, and I can always use the practice.
The Basics
I'll do free one-card draws today and tomorrow, until midnight PST on Sunday. [ETA: Now closed! Thanks for all the interest!] Ask a specific question, or just see what messages arise from the ether.
I'll also draw additional cards to address specific questions at $1 a card, up to seven cards. (Use the PayPal button below if you're interested in that option! Then, you can either comment with the email which sent the payment, or put your journal name in the Paypal notes.)
You can see an example of the sort of depth and analysis I do in a previous Tarot post.
The Decks:
I use a somewhat non-traditional approach to reading, with two different decks:
1) The Endangered Ark art card deck, which is not traditionally used in divination, but which I've found to have a very good signal strength. In my experience, this deck is good for illustrating a particular issue and digging up surrounding issues – bringing things into the light, as it were. My interpretation of Endangered Ark cards has a lot to do with the art and the symbolic as well as biological/ethological qualities of the animals depicted, but it also incorporates my interpretations of the numbers and suits.
2)The Crow's Magick Tarot. I like to call this my "brutal truths" deck; every time I've used it to read for myself, it's given me firm answers that dig up things I don't actually want to look at or face, but which end up being spot-on. I've never used this deck to read for other people, but I respect it a heck of a lot. The Crow's Magick has keywords on the cards as well as its own book of interpretations; because I believe in taking decks as they present themselves, I use these less-traditional readings as well as the more-traditional Tarot readings in interpreting them.
If you don't specify a deck, I'll use the Endangered Ark, as I think it's a bit better to get a general read.

The Obligatory Disclaimer:
If you have medical, legal, or similarly serious problems, I strongly advise that you consult an expert and not a deck of cards. I make no guarantees on accuracy or precision of results. I'm somewhat agnostic on Tarot and tend to regard these as useful means of self-diagnosis, with my own analysis of the cards giving me as much insight into them as the selection of the cards themselves, but whether you regard readings as pure fun, Jungian diagnostic tools, or applied magic, you're welcome here.

The art on the card undercuts that a bit, though the otter's face does seem to be lit as though from within; the art is very earthy-and-watery, somewhat flattened into something iconic. The otter looks out at the viewer with an open, somewhat avuncular look.
Sea otters are among the smallest marine mammals, but the largest species in their family. Unlike other marine mammals, their warmth – their protection from the elements – doesn't come from internal blubber, but external fur. They use whiskers and paws to find things by touch underwater when they cannot see, and is unique among sea mammals in that it can turn over rocks and such on the sea floor. (It's worth noting that water is the element of emotion, mystery, creativity, magic.)
This all seems to communicate that something new exists, perhaps in a place where you exceed your peers but feel as though you still have a long way to go. Even if you can't see what that looks like, feel your way through; remain open view yourself and your surroundings as though they are an art to be completed, and approach the unknown with a sense of interest and play. You have an armor which protects you, be it of mannerisms or habits or works; this allows you to move into new creative spaces. Let your passion, even if it is a passion for something untried and untested, move you into new waters; you may find yourself well-suited to being there.
