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.

Date: 2013-07-22 09:39 pm (UTC)From:In my readings of this deck, clubs correspond to pentacles, the suit of earth, stability, practicalities, and wealth or monetary concerns. Jacks, being face cards, can be taken to represent a person or a force with agency. The art here is clear, for an underwater scene; near to the surface, with a reef and reef life. The turtle seems to have a serious, penetrating expression, but swims closely with a school of fish who do not seem to be reacting to threat.
It seems that the message of this an issue which may be submerged, but is still known – you or someone in your life may be growing into a more balanced role with the people around, whereas once it might have been more damaging. Growth and maturity, while perhaps slow-growing, bring a greater harmony with the environment, and the things taken as nourishment (literal, metaphorical or spiritual) from the environment color one's own inner life and identity.
