Pay what you can Tarot Readings

I’ve never done something like this before, but I have a 6 day old baby and I suddenly find myself emotionally drained and in desperate need of money. I have a 175 dollar bill due tomorrow and another ( electric ) due to be shut off if not paid by the 2nd of November.

I am not here begging for donations, I’m offering my services. I will do 3 card, detailed readings for anyone willing to offer any sort of tip. This money will instantly go toward keeping a family warm and fed for the next month until I can find proper employment.

Examples of past readings

Send your questions with your sun/moon signs, initials, and anything that can help me focus on you to give a reading as accurate as possible. 

Pick your deck:

Tarot decks:

The Robin Wood Tarot

The Lovely Omens Tarot

Penny Dreadful Tarot

The Tarot of Vampyres

Oracle Decks:

Heart of Faerie Oracle

Healing with the Faeries

Any tips/donations and feedback are sincerely appreciated!

All readings will be done asap.

I am currently working on a 30 prompt writing challenge just for entertainment and to get all our creativity flowing. If you have any suggestions for the list- feel free to send them my way. 

[dear-poetry]

poetry is inside us all

and she’s rattling 

our rib cage,

begging us to

breathe.

[dear-poetry]

I need suggestions/opinions

You all know how much I love you and value your opinions. So before I explain more or make any full decisions - here are a few questions:

If you are a creative writer and run a patreon - what are some of the things  you offer your subscribers? Alternatively, for those who would sub to me - what are some things/content you would enjoy seeing every month? Price per tier?

Patreon or Ko-fi - which one is better for a writer like me? Pros and cons of both sites please as I am still doing my own research. In your opinion - which is better?

Is this venture pointless? Is anyone even interested? If you are and don’t feel like giving more feedback - a like on this post will do! <3 Regardless, I love you!

Are there alternative sites I should be looking into instead?

“I’ve recently been struggling with my identity. Biologically a female, I’ve never felt that nor have I felt like a man. I always saw myself as in between, but the people I’ve confided in have discouraged me. They think I’m perfect as a girl, and have refused to see me otherwise. They think it’s a waste because I’m too “pretty." “

[dear-poetry]

Should I bring back my ‘secrets’ poetry series?

Just want to hear from you guys on this. My mind is a lot more clear emotionally and I think I could continue once more. However - if I do, I may make a whole new blog instead of a side blog to keep things better organized. Opinions?

The anatomy of my survival.

I am machine, cold, though I want to be devoured like sweet blood oranges. Scarred, crimson fruit in autumns alleyways. & for those unaware, this is a freudian slip. I have never known the meaning of silence. I am too loud, not loud enough. My knees are their own bruised universe as I ask for wisdom spread along my soil. My branches - they shake with insecurity. This cemetery cat: I want him to hurt me. Claw his way through my anatomy - into the darkest parts of me. This is not love. This is back-alley romance, untamed wanderlust & he begs for the chance to find it. - He is pieces, emotionally cursed. A black cat, & I am not superstitious. Yet, I take shelter within the mere, forbidden thought of his tombstone teeth along the strong steel of my rib-cage. I will never get the smell of death or glory out of my sheets. This alone is merely the anatomy of my survival.

Writing something tonight - I feel confident for once.

Anons where you at?

Ask me stuff. Talk to me. I’m bored

Who needs the moon or the stars when a hyena sleeps within your marrow? New ink. Im in love.

[dear-poetry]

Hello there :) I have been following your poetry for a few years now, and have considered you my favorite ever since. I just recently began a poetry writing course at University and I was asked to do an analysis of my favorite poem and I would love to write about one of yours. I was just wondering if firstly this was okay, and if you've ever been published anywhere?

Feel free to write about any of my poems! Also, no I have yet to be published anywhere. However, I’m working on a self-publication for the near future. And I apologize that I did not see this sooner. Tumblr is bad about notifying me. 

- Kayla

I stared at the mirror today trying to remind myself that I am a hyena.

Misunderstood, but great.

Hell - I’m lying to you. To the world. To myself. I’m not even a cicada - At least they have a voice to scream.

May flowers grow in the saddest parts of you.
