Where were we?


Whew! I can not tell you how good it is to be back on a blog that works. Struggling with something you can't fix is the most frustrating thing. I know the place looks pretty weird, I'll fix it up later. It's like coming home after being away for a long time. You have to straighten things up and kick out the dust bunnies.

I was looking at Tarot cards last night, I searched for garden cards and didn't find any, but, I found the Moon Garden deck. It's pretty, I like the aces, but, it doesn't speak to me. I don't like too much fantasy in the cards. We don't live in medieval times and there are no dragons to slay or wizards to avoid. Metaphors sometimes bother me, it's like, get to the fucking point. People don't want ambiguous bullshit, like that goofy stuff they write in Tarot instruction books. Those sucky books! They want to know real things, like, am I pregnant, is my husband cheating? You can't shit rainbows in a unicorn field. It doesn't help anyone.

I also found someone who made their own deck with photos and photo shop. It's called the Temperance deck. I like it, it's artsy, but, too personal for me. I don't want to see my photo or family photos staring up at me from the deck while I'm trying to work. The only way I think I can start this project is to make a card, put it on here and let you guys see it. With explanations of why I did it the way I did it. Then you can add things that may help me change it. I know there are other readers who read my blog and people who go to readers. And a lot of amateurs who have their own deck. Never underestimate an amateur reader, they cards give things to anyone interested. Anyway, that's my thought on the original Tarot deck today. Damn, it's good to be Disher again.

LMAO! First comment was from a bot. I deleted it, but, isn't that ironic? Blogger has cookies that stop a blogger, they are aimed at bots. They ruined the garden site, but, the bots are happily botting away with their spam bullshit. Whoever runs blogger is a big asshole. I hope their dick falls off.

Man, I had just remembered the web address for the garden. That's ok, this one is easier. :+)
Have a great day DD.

Yay! I am glad you are back and the site is working. I will pretty much read whatever you want to talk about!

Nina said...

Pat,
I think your Tarot idea is excellent!! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Art is my second language!!
I follow the posies so where ever it works for you is good by me.
I'm just waiting for the book to come out...

Hey! You even have your old alien icon! LOL...'tis good to be back home again, eh? Once my husband saw the DD page open and thought it was for nasty, naked "dirty" talk...of course thats what he wanted to believe I was looking at. Ass! But I laugh, men are so so stupid. I didn't tell him what REALLY goes on here. I dont think a man would get it. Except Eric and Nelly Boy. Where's Nelly anyways? Crabbie is back home too. Niice...ahhhh....now relax

Ahhhhhhh, 'tis nice. Bitching again with no tech problems. LOL at men thinking this is a porn site. Tell your hubby I had my libido removed. It was nothing but trouble.

They probably think we're comparing dildoes HAHAHAHA

Is that your Old Maid deck? That woman with the deflated titties, the Old Maid? LOL...
JK, those cards are pretty cool.

Dildos? Where? The Rabbit? I honestly would buy me some fun toys. But I know I would die one day while using them or in my sleep and my poor kids would have to find them and think I was some pervert! Altho I happen to know my daughter uses them! But she doesnt know I know that. haha...no I wont buy anything like that. No huge purple shiny dicks will lurk under my bed waiting for some action. Scares me to be found out when I'm dead!!!! LOL!!!

Dirty Disher said...

Yeah, at my age you have to think about what people would find if you died. I don't want to be remembered as grandma with the dildo. Ewww.

OMG..once we found one at work. The shop carries used books and people trade them in..once this woman came in with a bag of si fi books from her sons room and we found a gigantic purple butt plug in the bag. Oh gawd, it was so gross. We threw the whole bag away. Everytime I see that woman I laugh.

This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between tarot reading and palm reading, besides the obvious? I've never had my cards read but have had my palm read quite a few times. One woman scared me with her observations, they were so spot on. I actually cried when I left!
I've always been intrigued by this stuff.

What is the best approach for someone who knows nothing about Tarot cards learn more?

Is there a good website?

Where do you find a reader?

What kind of information do the cards reveal?

The only time I had a card reading I went looking for something I wanted to hear re: an ex lover, but, I didn't get it. Instead I was told of my now husband, with lots of details, like hair color, skin color, height, personality, and how he was gonna love me and be there for me always, but, not about how soon I would meet him. I met him a few months after I got read, few months after that we got married.

When I first scrolled down, I didn't go far enough and I thought those were the cards that prosttutes put in the phone boothes in London. I brought home a bunch of those for my teenage son. It made him mad, but his friends wanted them. I get along better with his friends than I do with him. He's grown now and had to move back home--no job. He still hates me and that hurts because I always did the best I could do for him.
I'll give you an example of the kind of kid he was. When he was in 5th grade, we got a call from his principal. He wanted us to come to school. When we got there we found a large mound of RUBBERS on his desk. It seems my son had gone into business. It only got worse from there.
By the way, I happen to teach in the same school!

Maybe one day he will see that I wasn't so bad. My one wish is that he has 6 kids all like himself. The only problem is---he will probably still be living at home.

Weird....I totally believe in "The Secret"! Was in a bookstore a couple of days ago and my oldest daughter (17) expressed interest in Tarot cards. Then, we were watching Bravo, and saw an episode where Tarot cards were used with the designers. I remembered I had a deck and book in my house, and found it with some searching. Now, see this here on your site?! Craziness!
