A dog checked in today that was large, black-furred, thick-coated, and male that was named “Osa.”

Having a bit of a slow night, and after running into a lot of spiritual activity last week I decided to revisit the situation, what I've learned, and turn to the daimon/spirit that's been with me this past year or more to ask him a few questions, mostly about himself.

I am using a spread called "What the hell is your deal?", which has proven very effective, and the deck I am using is the Dark Grimoire. 

"Who they really are." -- XIII - Death -- In the Nameless City the mad poet who wrote the Necronomicon also wrote the famous verses: "What can live eternally cannot be dead, and in strange aeons even death can die."

"Why they hide their true selves." -- Two Chalices -- The Chalices are Dreams and represent emotions and the Element of Water, corresponding to your own emotional centre, joys and pains. Dreams are delicate and are held in the heart like wine in a chalice. Dreams sometimes well and overflow, like tears in our eyes when we are moved. // Two: Diverse energies face off in the depths; obstacles, a critical point, accumulation.

"The mask they hide behind." -- Knave of Pentacles -- The Pentacles are Shadows and represent matter and the Element of the Earth, corresponding to our own physical centre, the body, its needs, and the material that surrounds it. Amidst the Shadows grows attachments of men who identify themselves with their body and with the objects they possess. // Knave: Presage of the onset of a transformation; the secret learning of the hidden knowledge of the Pyramids. 

"How this affects your relationship." -- III - The Empress -- In the grottoes of the isle of R'lyeh, the Lady reigns over the creatures banished there while waiting to be conjured up to once again reign over the surface planet together with Cthulhu. As during the long winter, Mother Nature veils herself in darkness and awaits the propitious moment to manifest life again. The Lady is the mother and the Goddess of the Ancient inhabitants of the world.

"Advice for you." -- Nine Swords -- The Swords are Demons and represent thoughts and the Element of Air, corresponding to our own intellectual centre, with the mind and its potentially  If thoughts escape our control, they can become obsessions, taking the form of Demons that enslave the mind. // Nine: The experience produced abundance; wholeness, but perhaps also isolation and crisis.

"Outcome if you follow advice." -- Knave of Chalices -- Chalices; Dreams, emotional centre, joys, pains. Knave; Onset transformation, secret learning of hidden knowledge.
