Empress Blogs (a new thing she will attempt at doing more often)

*breathes*

Okay so this is me pouring my heart out to all of you. The passed couple of days have been pretty damn bad. I got treated like a piece of trash at work again but this time it was harassment. I can’t perform legal action because them being a small business would make it pointless in the long run. Nothing will be done of it but I am feeling absolutely attacked every moment I am there.

I am doing my best in order to move on from that place that used to be a haven for me. Sadly, I need to be able to make enough money to continue paying my home. That is where all the new things I’m planning come in. I am working on my commissions page which I will post after the convention I’m going to tomorrow. I am going to try to make friends and talk about @cosmicfluffcreations and hopefully get orders as well.

I also want to put up donation buttons on my personal, my crochet blog and two others. I will add all this to my commissions page in time but it goes without saying I really need help. I’m planning to go back to blogging as Rin Matsuoka over @ringivesadvice as well as Ryoji Mochizuki @deatharcanafortunes in hopes of fellow fans to enjoy the content posted there and maybe assist in keeping this cosmic fluffy bunny in her home.

Honestly, I have always said to myself I can get out of this, it will get better, but clearly I need to take a different approach. With enough support, I will open a Patreon and keep you updated all the time with many original goodies from stories, crochet, and tarot. Those friends that read through all this thank you so much, I will be posting more information on commissions and other goods shortly.

I love you all and please do have a wonderfully cosmic day.

xoxo Lucy

Please do give this a read folks. This gives me a chance to go back to doing tarot readings like before. Thanks for your time!

"Death leads to resurrection." — Rachel Pollack from Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom

[empressarcana]

I had wanted to finish this by Friday the 13th/Full Moon/Ryouji day but real life happened. Inspired by the Silhouettes Tarot, my new favorite Tarot deck. Also, hoping that somehow Ryouji will make an appearance in the new Persona material… but the likes of that happening are real slim. 

Happy belated Ryouji day to all. :) For more Tarot and Ryouji shenanigans, follow deatharcanafortunes.

Happy Ryoji Day!

(or Pharos/13th Arcana/Death. Ryoji Day sounds better though)

Lenormand Keyword Chart.

[empressarcana]

I gave a friend a reading and decided to use both tarot and lenormand. It was the best decision ever. The reading itself felt even more insightful. It was amazing :)

[deatharcanafortunes]

"I must take notes as well," Ryouji looked over the tarot spread, "I really like this idea of using both the tarot and lenormand systems."

[empressarcana]

Finally, my copy of the Silhouettes Tarot arrived. I’m in love with them. All the hype was certainly with reason. They first caught my attention because they reminded me of the Persona 3 tarot cards. In fact both Justice reminds me of Nyx Avatar. In the end, the art is absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to bond with this deck. :)

[deatharcanafortunes]

"Yay, Mun finally got her Silhouettes Tarot deck! And wow it really is a beauty! I can't wait to read with these cards!" He thought about it once more, "That's of course if Mun lets me use them..."

[deatharcanafortunes]

Uh, so... I've heard a lot about you and I wanted to ask for a reading... Any kind of reading... is fine.. I just want to know what to expect this summer. Anything that stands out? Or whatever...

THE FOOL’S BOX HAS SPOKEN~ WELCOME WELCOME TO DEATH ARCANA FFF—-

PFFFF…It’s you... Are you joshing me, RinRin? I take this very seriously, you know. 

[ringivesadvice]

"You seem really into this," Rin sighed as well, closing his eyes, and clearing his mind best he could. He focused on his concern and only their breathing was heard as Ryouji shuffled the cards.

He opened his eyes and observed Ryouji split the cards into three piles. It’s as if Ryouji knew which pile Rin had in mind because he went for the middle one. Rin was entranced by the cards, finding them to be quite the sight.

[deatharcanafortunes]

After choosing the middle stack, Ryouji turned the card over to show (ironically) the Wheel of Fortune card. Ryouji gave an all-knowing look in Rin's direction, "You wanted to know about this summer..."

"You can expect many changes coming this summer," Ryouji continued as he observed the mechanics of the card(he knew this card well), "You're playing a game with fate. Rin, the wheel can go in your favor or it might go in someone else's favor. In the end, you will know your answer and feel fulfilled by it. You have the powerful vibes of the planet Jupiter on your side though. Yes, luck is on your side. Whatever you do learn, don't lose yourself in the moment," he took a deep breath, "And be careful for misunderstandings."

He handed him the card and a soft smile escape him, "Take a good look at it. What do you see?"

Rin sat down and watched Ryouji curiously, “So, how does this work?” Huh… Vibes… What does he mean by all sorts of vibes? This kid is a weirdo(yet Rin is the one who went to him for a reading).

[deatharcanafortunes]

With a bored look on his face, Ryouji sighed, "Just relax. I would like you to clear your mind," he observed Rin, "then focus on your concern. That way your energy is not scattered." Ryouji took his deck of cards and began to shuffle them.

[ringivesadvice]

"Would I have come to you if I wasn’t serious?!" Rin growled and shook his head, "I mean it, I would like a reading… or whatever…" He sighed and looked away, "Nevermind I asked…"

[deatharcanafortunes]

"Fine," Ryouji sighed, "I'll give you a reading." Shaking his head, Ryouji pulled out his deck of cards, "Sit and calm down a little though. I'm getting all sorts of vibes from you."

What You Can Expect To Get Out Of A Tarot Reading.

[deatharcanafortunes]

Hello my beautiful fools, Ryouji here. Just a friendly reminder that the Fool's box is open and anyone that has a concern can send me a message. Mun and I are working on a FAQ as we get more followers. Right now, we just kinda want to get back to the scheme of things.

Here are a couple of things, which I will elaborate in the FAQ section later. You will have the option to choose from a free Tarot reading, Oracle reading, or Lenormand reading. If you are confused, Mun will post some guidelines later.

We will be posting some sample readings for our followers, just so you can get an idea of how everything will be laid out.

People with RP accounts can submit/send asks as well and I will respond back to your character. In fact, that will be a lot of fun. So, don't be shy. *evil grin*

Any and all questions can be sent to either the Fool's Box or my Mun empressrevealed. 

Thank you and may your day be bright.

[deatharcanafortunes]

Small update.

This blog now has a new layout! :D I am quite pleased with this one since it has a more Nyx Avatar to it. Hopefully, Ryouji will get to doing readings really soon. Mun has been going through a lot so sorry for the slowness.

Until then, farewell.

It all started with a story…

Background tracks include, Loreena McKennitt’s “Incantation” and “Vorpal Blade” from the Alice: Madness Returns soundtrack.

Silhouettes tarot shots. Sorry for the funky angles, I was trying to avoid the glare (and I was unsuccessful).

This deck is interesting in that it came with two sets of Justice and Strength; Justice as 8 and 11, then Strength as 8 and 11, so you can swap out whichever one you prefer.

Also, it comes with 3 ‘blank’ cards upon which you can draw your own designs (that’s the 2nd picture). At the bottom they say Spirit, Mind, Body, respectively. Very cool.
