Back in college I was The Queen of the Sparkle Bunnies. This was my pseudonym for the school newspaper. In the school newspaper, I wrote the horoscope column. It was a fun thing to do and I got paid to do it. (Not a lot, but enough to keep me in ramen and vodka for a week or two.) Every now and again, I get on these kicks where I want to start doing them again. The other day I wrote up some completely nonsensical things for the signs and found that I hit the mark on some of them. That creeped me out a little bit. Back in college when I wrote the horoscopes I also managed to hit the mark more often than not.

One of my other hobbies is tarot cards. Yep, I read tarot cards for people as a hobby. I had a deck that worked very well with me. It was called “The Pages of Shustah”. It was a really nice deck based on color and symbols much more so than normal tarot cards. When I used that deck I almost always gave accurate readings. Before I moved out here to Atlanta, my dog ate that deck. I took it as a sign that it was time for me to move on to a new deck.

I still haven’t found a new deck. It’s also true that I haven’t been looking very hard for a new one. I was actually thinking about designing my own. Instead of four suits and the Major Arcana, it would have six suits: Water, Air, Fire, Earth, Chaos and Order. I would also add in the Major Arcana, but perhaps I would expand it a bit. It would be a rather large deck. About 100 cards. but who knows, this project may fall by the wayside just like my others.

I’ve been in the mood to do tarot readings again. I didn’t think that would happen.
