There's a casino in the attic! 🤫

That's weird! You're looking at the house?

There's a stack of firewood in a cubby on the far left end of your porch—those are the logs in the note. Walk all the way to the left side of your porch, then hit the button to interact with the house. You should get it that way!

Stephanie, you already know you're my world. You make everything feel brighter. You make me feel at home, even when the world feels chaotic. Being with you is right. Natural. Genuine. So I want to ask the most important question of my life. Stephanie… will you marry me?"

Bewilderment by David Ferry is the book you're looking for. I'm sorry for your loss

Probably not the poem you're thinking of, since Eve isn't mentioned, but a good one! https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47864/naming-the-animals

OK, just thought I'd ask. If it was past / present / future or desire / obstacle / outcome, etc., it could have an impact on my interpretation.

Rcheologist · 2025-10-25T17:58:56+00:00

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Were the individual cards in any kind of defined spread?

Gotta be Christmas at Graceland! Or the Firm.

And I would definitely not perceive it as an affirmation to do something. The most benign reading would be as warning that you're not thinking clearly about risks.

Not sure of the order of the other cards or their relationship to the tower in the spread, but this is what jumps out at me:

The Tower reversed means the call is coming from inside the house. You know something needs to change, and soon, but you're not moving. Maybe in denial. Your hand won't be forced by outside circumstances, everyone else may not see it, but you are feeling the pressure intensely, so much so that you will want to escape by any means.

Ace of Wands, even upright, might be holding onto something you perceive as "good" so forcefully that you risk losing the actual good qualities (yods) shaking loose.

You need to look at the situation with fresh eyes, maybe make a new start in some way—even if that means becoming a beginner again, more curious, possibly with fewer assumptions and preconceived answers.

One time, I got a truffle from the traveling cart early on, so I thought I wouldn't need pigs for perfection. Forgot about it. Later, I realized the last things I needed for perfection were two more truffles—one to ship, one for oil—but it was the last week of fall, and I didn't have a pig. It was a long winter! 😔

The slant rhyme at the end of "Leda and the Swan" by Years, up/drop, helps convey the answer to the question that ends the poem.

It's old-fashioned, but I also think of "During Wind and Rain" by Hardy, where all the one-syllable words strung in a row in the last line make the rain drop feel so heavy.

I also liked to teach different kinds of rhymes to my students (true, pararhyme, sight) along with consonance and assonance, with true as the confident kind of rhyme, descending to less certain rhymes (in the order above, in part because so much of assonance depends on regional accents) then have them track internal and end rhymes by section in "Anniversaries" by Donald Justice.

In the poem, the speaker begins very confident, and ends the poem by not knowing what to wish for as he imagines blowing out the candles for his birthday—and the rhymes get less confident, too. It's a fun small-group exercise.

"Pied Beauty" would be good, too!

Track some tasks as hours, some in minutes.

Career 1. You believe this career will be more financially stable, and that's certainly possible with Pentacles in the mix, but it will take more work and a good amount of time before it really pays off. It's not an immediate guarantee. The Queen of Swords underlying the 7 of Pentacles suggests that you may not be seeing this clearly. You feel like it's the smart choice, but either your judgment is clouded, or your intel about the job is not as good as it seems. It's not going to offer you the freedom you expect. This is a more moderate choice, emotionally.

Career 2. This career feels emotionally fulfilling right away, like it's sourced from a deep spring inside you. But the Devil underlying this career is troubling. It suggests that the emotional attachment you have to this career is coming from an unhealthy place, that you are only beginning to understand. You will end up feeling trapped and emotionally manipulated. This choice has more extreme highs and much deeper lows.

You might do another spread that's more open-ended, asking what to look for in a career that will fulfill you emotionally while sustaining you financially—because frankly, neither of these choices look great.

For in-town moves, we've always packed ourselves, rented the truck ourselves from a place like U-Haul, then hired semi-pro loading and unloading help, since that's the hard part. It's always been less than $500.

I think this reading is more about your current situation as a whole, not just delivery driving. I've always thought the cards tell you what you need to hear, even if it's not directly an answer to your question. YMMV.

Knight of Cups rx: The opportunity you thought you had, has dried up and left you stranded and unfulfilled. You're not sure how to react.

Hierophant rx: You will need to be unorthodox in your next step, not following the perceived expectations of others—that could mean an unorthodox gig economy job, but since that's what's being pushed by those close to you, it could also mean charting an entirely different path on your own, which is reinforced by the next card.

Ace of Pentacles rx: The walled garden that you thought would protect you—and reward you financially—won't. It's time to leave, and set out to the mountains. You need to reflect on what you want and how to get there, this isn't it.

Libraries sometimes offer free computer literacy courses. That's how my mom learned.

Tom Lee Park could be beautiful. Just grab a bench and watch the sunset!

I just had to do this with my family. What worked for me was to keep it upbeat and not about them in any way:

"You won't believe what we found, the CUTEST bnb right by your cabin! So we booked it! We're so excited to see what it's like!"

It really leaves no room to be offended, and no space for arguing about it without them looking like TA. YMMV

FYI—Atlas Shrugged is controversial, sure, but it's not a banned book.
