Pick a pile: The Mark of the Dragon: What part of your power are you terrified to claim?
Before you begin: Draconian energies are heavy and difficult. You may read things you don't like. The Draconian path is dark and will drag you through the mud. Reading a pick-a-card won't change your life, but it can confront you with things you don't want to face. I speak from my own experience. Now that you've been warned, it's up to you.
Pile 1: Kinf of pentacles, queen of pentacles and the tower.
You are destined to reign in the material realm. The appearance of the imperial couple of Earth demonstrates that you possess the innate gift of manifesting abundance, managing empires, achieving financial success, and governing your stability with absolute mastery. You are the dragon guarding the true treasure.
You are terrified of claiming your economic sovereignty because in your mind it feels like a betrayal of your lineage's poverty. Believing you deserve luxury, comfort, and money makes you feel guilty about the effort and hardships your ancestors endured. And hey, I understand, because you feel that if you live well, it's like telling them their effort wasn't so valid, but isn't the culture of hard work so outdated? Studies have now shown that 95% of people born into poverty will die in poverty. If you are among the 5% who can escape it, fight for it. We will envy you from below.
Pile2: Page of cups, page of swords and the hermit.
You have the gift of being guided by the Sage's mastery. You possess a magical intuition, the ability to channel messages from beyond and capture energies, as well as a brilliant, strategic mind, capable of deciphering secrets and truths with extraordinary mental acuity. You are the seer who knows how to read the invisible threads of the world.
You are terrified of accepting how intelligent, wise, and perceptive you truly are. You fear that your intuition might be real and prefer to doubt yourself rather than take responsibility for your knowledge. You are terrified of being the "odd one out" or misunderstood. Your power is claimed in solitude and self-examination. Draconian energy asks you to stop seeking external approval or validation of your thoughts. Isolation is not for hiding, but for lighting your own lantern. Stop pretending you don't know what your soul has already discovered.
Pile 3: 3 of pentacles, the star and 5 of swords.
You know, I understand that this terrifies you. You face a soul challenge that connects directly to exposure, brilliance, and the wound of past humiliation.
Your power lies in your ability to inspire and create within a community. You possess masterful technical talent, artisanal artistry, or a unique skill for working with others, and your destiny is to shine with your own light, to be a beacon of healing and hope for others, and to express your unfiltered authenticity. You are the dragon that guides with its starlight (you should connect with Hekate easily).
You are terrified of showing vulnerability and success to others. Your shadow holds the memory of moments where, in trying to stand out or collaborate, you suffered betrayal, envy, humiliation, or toxic competitive dynamics. Your mind tells you: "If you shine too brightly, they will come after you, and you will lose again." You must heal that past battle. The universe is asking you to lower your shield because defending yourself is dimming your light. Your power is reclaimed when you understand that your light doesn't compete with anyone; it simply exists.
