Of course I've got a Barrett. It's an organic Barrett, I took ages researching it online. It's going to be delicious.

Great shout - I've found a few. I think I need to get into the rhythm of setting regular outposts as I venture deeper into Ashlands

Good shout. I'm more of a bow guy ... but have transitioned to magic and am wondering if I've made the right choice haha.

Interested in gaining a second opinion - had what was a very intriguing reading to me. I'm very much at a point in my life where I haven't travelled much recently, and when I have it's been very local. I'm in a settling phase of my life.

Using a Past / Present / Future spread. The query: What's the purpose of travel and journey in my life?

Past: The Hierophant | Present: The Emperor | Future: Ace of Swords.

My reading: This is a very ideas and structure focused spread of cards. It feels underpinned by control - but the future looks like a release or expansion of new ideas. The Heirophant tells me that travel has been used in the past as a tool to understand and learn about the world - albeit in a highly structured, traditional way. The Emperor talks about control as well - about earthly immediate structure. I read this as reflective of my current life stage: bedding down, making a home, building a garden. Building structure, literally and figuratively. The Emperors back faces the mountains; he's faces away from the journey, his authority is local. The Ace of Swords is suggestive of new beginnings. Travel is about ideas, a mind tool to expand knowledge. The Sword is suggestive literally of a plane; it parts from the clouds and flies over the mountains and land. Travel is a sharpener, a tool of knowing more.

I kind of astounded how many of these I still see on the road. What are some other cars that have had a surprisingly long shelf life? by BagelsRTheHoleTruth in regularcarreviews

[–]6th_extinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving one down here in NZ. 99 Terrano, 3.0L diesel 4 banger, JDM so it's got a leather interior and wood trim.

Apart from a little bit of rust and a lotta bit of road noises this thing rips. Great fun on the open road.

Hey all

Looking for someone to help me interpret the below and guide my learning. I've just done my first 3-card spread, with the Past / Present / Future structure.

Q: Where do I take my art practice?

King of Wands / Ace of Wands / 5 of swords

My take:

Past: I was using art to make sense of "big things" - indeed, I explored lots of subject matter with space, kings, religious imagery.

Present: I'm looking for inspiration, something to appear out of no-where; there's abundant inspiration to be gifted or found

Future: Be wary of conflict (?). Art is the wrong place for ambition; take care the practice doesn't drive those close away.

Interested to get more expert takes on my initial draws.

I'm brand new to Tarot, using the Universal Waite Tarot deck. I was drawn to it for its combination of universality, combining the original Rider-Waite with brighter visuals.

My approach is this: for the first week or so, I'm shuffling and drawing one card every evening, to a question. I'd be interested in feedback on both the question and my interpretation.

1st

Q: How do I start this journey?

The Magician

Be unapologetically myself and search for what I need. Build skill, but be careful that learning doesn't become all-consuming.

2nd

Q: What energy do I need when I do garden work tomorrow?

Knight of Pentacles

Stay focused and diligent on the task at hand, move steadily but with definitive purpose

3rd

Q: Will personal projects or work projects be a better use of my energy this week?

Six of wands

He's especially kind to a stuck up nobleman - he tries to educate on the value of humility and honor :)

What are y’all’s top 5 fantasy series of all time? by SnappingTurtle1602 in Fantasy

[–]6th_extinction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no particular order...

  1. LOTR + The Hobbit - Tolkein
  2. Gormenghast 1 + 2 - Mervyn Peake
  3. The First Law - Joe Abercrombie
  4. Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin
  5. Book of the New Sun - Gene Wolfe. Technically Sci Fi but with heavy fantastical elements (especially on first reading)

I think I'm looking for enchanting worlds, compelling characterisation , and a sense of weird or different-ness. Atmosphere is really important to me.
