PRESENT WHEEL] 1: Inner self, karmic path. The very first card represents what kind of changes are happening in your clients’ life now! This card could be positive or negative, but this is the immediate change.
2:Security and relationships. Court cards will usually indicate someone significant in the clients’ life. Also depends on what the client needs for the security, it may well be financial, health, or something else.
3:Plans, ideas, philosophy. A positive care here is a very good sign, as it shows that other areas lacking can be repaired quicker. This area can also express hidden areas of assumption behind someone’s beliefs. Tread carefully, as this can be especially personal. People’s dreams can also be found here, showing a secret side of them that they may not be fully aware.
4:Background, parents, home. Has your client been helped or hindered by any of these? You may find some harsh feelings when exploring this. However, if the client is ready, this can be a way to bring the problems and feelings into the light and come to terms with them. It is very possible that this card can show problems that are beyond the client’s ability to change.
5:Hopes, desires, pleasures. A positive card can help nullify the potential negatives found in the 4'th position. It is also possible to find that the client is trapped within some social construct; perhaps a faltering marriage, or dead end job. The diviner also shares some responsibility if the hopes and desires are out of this world unattainable.
6:Health, concerns: The book states to simply refer to a MD if the client admits any sort of health problems, but ignores potential readings thereof. I am still trying to divine a good explanation of this position, or to change it out.
7:Partners, loved ones. Close relationships are the target of this card. Energies relating to partner(s), children, family, business partners are all intertwined. Compatible energies will show a synergy between them, while non-compatible energies will hinder to the point of subduing. This card will show where he stands in the support of those loved ones.
8:The Mystic Symbol-portrays potential gains. This card can be negative, but usually shows positive gains that the querent can have now. However, a warning is made as well; if the querent procrastinates, these gain may disappear. These gains are usually attributed to a ‘ripening’ of karmic fruit.
9:Distance, travel. Travel does not have to mean going somewhere afar. This can also mean that the querent may have to go somewhere they do not usually frequent. It can also indicate that the querent will have to go elsewhere to apply for a position. It can also mean that someone is trying to reach them, if a court card shows up.
10:Karmic amplitude-life’s work. This card contains the seed that carries the querent’s intention. It could be buried, or on the surface, but it is there. What karma has he earned? Has he expressed his talents? What is the querent doing with this life?
11:True desire for self and others. This card represents the full and true desire for what we want. The author states to question the querent as to if this is a good undertaking, and to query if this is a good undertaking. I disagree with the author’s assessment. Going against the true will is never a good thing. Instead, I interpret this as a way to keep the querent on track of what they truly want.
12:Hidden vibrations, only known on subconscious level. If the client is denying their true desire, this can nullify the querent and potentially paralyse actions. This is the card, mainly for the diviner, that will show if the client is lost and how to find them.
(SOLIDIFIER #1, card 13) 13: This card is “The Key to the Inner Wheel”. This card confirms the reading given by the first 12 cards, and links to card 14 which deals with future activity. If a court card is present here, it means a new person will be playing a prominent part of the querent’s life soon. An Ace of any suit also means that a new cycle in the querent’s life is due to begin.
[FUTURE WHEEL] 14-25: These cards are to be read for the Querent’s future, using the same definitions as above. According to the author,says the reading only goes 3 months into the querent’s future.
14: Inner self, karmic path. The card represents what kind of changes are happening in your clients’ life in the future. This card could be positive or negative, but this is the immediate change.
15: Security and relationships. Court cards will usually indicate someone significant in the clients’ life. Also depends on what the client needs for the security, it may well be financial, health, or something else.
16: Plans, ideas, philosophy. A positive care here is a very good sign, as it shows that other areas lacking can be repaired quicker. This area can also express hidden areas of assumption behind someone’s beliefs. Tread carefully, as this can be especially personal. People’s dreams can also be found here, showing a secret side of them that they may not be fully aware.
17: Background, parents, home. Has your client been helped or hindered by any of these? You may find some harsh feelings when exploring this. However, if the client is ready, this can be a way to bring the problems and feelings into the light and come to terms with them. It is very possible that this card can show problems that are beyond the client’s ability to change.
18: Hopes, desires, pleasures. A positive card can help nullify the potential negatives found in the 17'th position. It is also possible to find that the client is trapped within some social construct; perhaps a faltering marriage, or dead end job. The diviner also shares some responsibility if the hopes and desires are out of this world unattainable.
19: Health, concerns: The book states to simply refer to a MD if the client admits any sort of health problems, but ignores potential readings thereof. I am still trying to divine a good explanation of this position, or to change it out.
20: Partners, loved ones. Close relationships are the target of this card. Energies relating to partner(s), children, family, business partners are all intertwined. Compatible energies will show a synergy between them, while non-compatible energies will hinder to the point of subduing. This card will show where he stands in the support of those loved ones.
21:The Mystic Symbol-The result of the harvest. Whatever the card indicates, the results will be beneficial to the Querent. This card will show an action that will free the client of circulating patterns that trap them. The querent may not take this opportunity, but is made available. If this path is chosen, the querent’s life can change completely.
22: Distance, travel. Travel does not have to mean going somewhere afar. This can also mean that the querent may have to go somewhere they do not usually frequent. It can also indicate that the querent will have to go elsewhere to apply for a position. It can also mean that someone is trying to reach them, if a court card shows up.
23:Karmic Amplitude-Source of satisfaction. This card can be thought of as a rescue card. This card can show the avenues of possible success, and how to navigate which ones will be in line with the querent. If you detect frustration or disharmony in the spread, you will find guidance here. Note that reading in the future 28 days can be adverse unless one is adept at the Rahdue’s Wheel. It is recommended to take advantage of the full 3 months granted by this reading.
Also note that 21 and 23 are to be read in conjunction with the “Present” wheel.
24:True desire for self and others. This card represents the full and true desire for what we want. The author states to question the querent as to if this is a good undertaking, and to query if this is a good undertaking. I disagree with the author’s assessment. Going against the true will is never a good thing. Instead, I interpret this as a way to keep the querent on track of what they truly want.
25: Hidden vibrations, only known on subconscious level. If the client is denying their true desire, this can nullify the querent and potentially paralyse actions. This is the card, mainly for the diviner, that will show if the client is lost and how to find them.
(SOLIDIFIER #2, card 26) 26: This confirms the information passed on in the Future Wheel.
[PAST WHEEL] The past only goes back to the beginning of the esoteric month. The author claims it is from the beginning of the current month to the stroke of midnight of the 28'th. Given her extensive use of the Kabbalah, I would dare say that she is wrong to use the solar calendar. The Jewish peoples still use a lunar calendar in which each month is 28 days, which I believe is more in the spirit of what she has made.
27-38:These cards follow the same definitions as above, but applied to the past.
27: Inner self, karmic path. The card represents what kind of changes are happening in your clients’ life in the past. This card could be positive or negative, but this is the immediate change.
28: Security and relationships. Court cards will usually indicate someone significant in the clients’ life. Also depends on what the client needs for the security, it may well be financial, health, or something else.
29: Plans, ideas, philosophy. A positive care here is a very good sign, as it shows that other areas lacking can be repaired quicker. This area can also express hidden areas of assumption behind someone’s beliefs. Tread carefully, as this can be especially personal. People’s dreams can also be found here, showing a secret side of them that they may not be fully aware.
30: Background, parents, home. Has your client been helped or hindered by any of these? You may find some harsh feelings when exploring this. However, if the client is ready, this can be a way to bring the problems and feelings into the light and come to terms with them. It is very possible that this card can show problems that are beyond the client’s ability to change.
31: Hopes, desires, pleasures. A positive card can help nullify the potential negatives found in the 29'th position. It is also possible to find that the client is trapped within some social construct; perhaps a faltering marriage, or dead end job. The diviner also shares some responsibility if the hopes and desires are out of this world unattainable.
32: Health, concerns: The book states to simply refer to a MD if the client admits any sort of health problems, but ignores potential readings thereof. I am still trying to divine a good explanation of this position, or to change it out.
33: Partners, loved ones. Close relationships are the target of this card. Energies relating to partner(s), children, family, business partners are all intertwined. Compatible energies will show a synergy between them, while non-compatible energies will hinder to the point of subduing. This card will show where he stands in the support of those loved ones.
34:The Mystic Symbol-Karma Shared. This position shares an insight in which the querent and someone else shared a particular situation. She claims the beginning of the esoteric month is on the first of every month and ends at the stroke of midnight of the 28'th. A Rahdue’s Wheel reading on the 14'th would only see in the past to the 1'st of that month. The remaining days of the month (29, 30, 31) are accounted by the Future Wheel ).
35: Distance, travel. Travel does not have to mean going somewhere afar. This can also mean that the querent may have to go somewhere they do not usually frequent. It can also indicate that the querent will have to go elsewhere to apply for a position. It can also mean that someone is trying to reach them, if a court card shows up.
36:Karmic Amplitude-adjustment relating to karma. This card relates some kind of significant change within the querent that happened within the recent (esoteric month) past. The effects of said event may not have caught up with the querent yet, but the event has surely done its action.
37: True desire for self and others. This card represents the full and true desire for what we want. The author states to question the querent as to if this is a good undertaking, and to query if this is a good undertaking. I disagree with the author’s assessment. Going against the true will is never a good thing. Instead, I interpret this as a way to keep the querent on track of what they truly want.
38: Hidden vibrations, only known on subconscious level. If the client is denying their true desire, this can nullify the querent and potentially paralyse actions. This is the card, mainly for the diviner, that will show if the client is lost and how to find them.
(SOLIDIFIER #3, card 39) 39: This puts a capstone on the recent events of the querent that lead to the present.
We have now completed the 3 wheels, in the center. Now, we will delve within the past life situations that have lead the querent from their past, present, and future. We start this by the cards in position 40 through 49 called the “Dagim Block”.
[DAGIM BLOCK] (Hebrew name for Pisces)
Unlike the positions of cards above in the wheels, these cards are meant to be read as a block. The sequence of cards does NOT indicate a time sequence. the purpose of the Dagim Block is to compare a past life situation to one that is relevant in the immediate present.
Court cards are important in this block. They represent people only.If you are reading for a female, the first Queen represents the querent. Other court cards represent people in that lifetime that are here now in the present of the querent.
If you are reading for a male, the first King is the querent and other court cards represent other people as explained above.
If the client is not yet 29 years old, disregard using kings and queens, and instead use Pages. This rule applies to either sex. (I am still going to read myself as the first queen though only 26)
(SOLIDIFIER #4, card 49)
This card solidifies the querents intended karmic patterns. Do not reveal this card until the Dagim Block has been appropriately interpreted. Five of Shells reversed - firefly, there’s a lack of hope and sadness in this karmic pattern. Sadness and despair permeate all my lives past, present, and future. Something needs changed to fix the karmic pattern.
[PILLAR OF TALEH] (Hebrew name for Aries)
The Pillar of Taleh holds the memory of our relationships of past lives. These ‘genetic memories’ are preserved to remind our higher selves which were beneficial and harmful. You may learn whom you are to meet again, whom you are not, whom you will love, and whom you will befriend.
The Pillar of Taleh works as similar as the Dagim Block, but with the focus being on people associated with the querent’s past life relationships that are relevant to the present.
If the querent is concerned about a family member’s attitude towards a situation, a valid question would be “Is this a Karmic Reaction?”. The answer will usually turn up in the Pillar of Taleh. The possible lack of court cards could indicate that a situation is setting up that will initiate a relationship.
(SOLIDIFIER #5, card 59)
This card is called the “Key to Knowledge”, and is placed next to card #58. A king solidifier indicates a female will find her soulmate. A Queen solidifier indicates that a male will find his soulmate. This card only confirms past life relationships that are relevant to the present.
[PILLAR OF SHOR] (Hebrew name for Taurus)
The Pillar of Shor holds our memory of experience of our past lives. This memory is called the Karmic Seed, by the author. The Karmic Seed contains the cause.
Questions to watch out for are of the type “Why do I do the same thing over and over again?”. These show the same result from the same unresolved Seed. Relationships can dissolve, and success can be unattainable given the previous patterns that are repeated.
Many people never have the chance to look at the Cause of the actions they respond to. People get stuck in ruts, or make the same mistakes again and again.
As in the previous Pillar, we read the 9 cards as a coherent block. Individual card interpretations come after the whole picture is developed.The purpose of this Pillar is to show how the Karmic Seed developed, or what is happening in your present life that is related to the Karmic Seed.
Another pitfall is there can be more than 1 Karmic Seed! At the time of the reading, the diviner will be shown 1 seed and how it relates to the querent. If there is much trauma from 1 seed, the whole picture may be shown.
However, if the pillar shows how the seed developed, the querent may already have gone through this experience. The diviners’ job is now to explain what happened, how it was caused and why.
(SOLIDIFIER #6, card 69)
Also called the “Key To Open”. It is the key to the querent’s consciousness, and the hidden reasons and past experiences. Four of Crystals- Beaver, control and security, stability, power, success, endurance. I need to have control, stability, and security to best approach and get to my past experiences.
[MALKUTH BLOCK]
This block is to be laid out, FACE DOWN. Card 74 should be line up with 6, 19, and 32. This block is not to be read or flipped until all other cards and interpretations are done.
During the preparation, the querent wrote down up to 9 questions. Many of them may have been answered with the rest of the reading. This block is for the unanswered questions that still linger from the beginning.
If the querent has 2-9 questions, you have the querent ask them, and the diviner flips up the first card in the block. You do 1 card per question. Each question is interpreted BEFORE going to the next question. The rest of the cards that do not have a question are to be left FACE DOWN. This retains the power of the reading.
If the querent has 1 question, ALL the cards are to be used for answering. In this case, you turn over the 1st Malkuth card and read it. Once the first is read, then you turn over the second card. After each card is analysed one at a time, then the diviner can look for connections between them.
If you were wondering what this would be like, wonder no more.
Since my best friend and I have a great deal of magickal motivation and are clearly insane, WE COMPLETED THIS READING.
It was roughly 5 hours of direct cardwork and reading, but we took breaks for food and rest, so the total time spent, between taking the cards out of the box and putting them back in, was about 9 HOURS.
(Photo ft. bad lighting and my unbrushed hair.)
I had the privilege of choosing the cards, setting them up, and giving the reading for my much-beloved @haemoferedoll, who was a very patient and open querent.
By the end of the reading, we were decidedly exhausted. My eyes were blurry, my head was swimming, my brain seemed to have deteriorated into rude, viscous mush, and my throat felt raw and sore from having talked so much. Even my joints were achy. I was basically an old crone by the end of it.
But, oh, let me learn you a thing. THIS SHIT WAS
E N L I G H T E N I N G.
The cards spelled out a clear story, with significant life lessons, warnings, and even illuminating information about past lives. I’ve honestly never had a reading with such clear and definitive messages. It was like the veil just parted to let the universe throw us some handy-dandy-4-1-1.
For real, the cards were super specific and helpful.
Actually, after we were done, I was told that the reading was “more helpful than years of therapy.”~. Potential hyperbole aside, I think the reading really did assist real and significant progress for my friend, which I’m wicked pumped about.
IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS READING YOURSELF, I say to fuckin’ go for it. It was a great experience as a diviner, an awesome chance to practice, and very affirming of my ability, and @haemoferedoll found it really helpful.
However, PLEASE read all of the detailed information on the spread and how it works BEFORE you start the reading. If you don’t, you’re gonna have a hell of a bad time.
Also, be aware that a significant portion of the reading revolves around past lives. If that doesn’t align with your personal beliefs, I would suggest you either skip those parts of the reading, or replace them with specific questions of your own.
ALSO. I’m pretty sure this reading doesn’t NEED to last so long. I was extremely thorough, and I’m very picky with choosing cards, so just the process of setting up took almost an hour.
I also personally went into a lot detail with helping my friend interpret the cards and their story. If you simply do a quick overview, I bet the reading would be way faster and much less of an ordeal.
For me though, the “ordeal” of it made it an experience. It was absolutely worth the effort for what I got out of it.
TL;DR: We did the thing. We liked the thing. The thing was exhausting. If you do the thing yourself, do the thing your own way and be smart about it.
AND LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS! #fuckyeahdivination
Instructions for the reading are found through the OP’s link, where she also provides information on the book this is sourced from.
Fact: bisexuals make up a majority of the LGBT population.
Fact: the majority of bisexuals are closeted.
Theory: If all bisexual people came out, straight people would no longer be the majority.
Do we really make up a majority? Cause the way we’re erased i had no idea. Like really. I thought we were in minority…
The Human Rights Commission of San Francisco released a groundbreaking report on Bisexual Invisibility in 2010 which revealed that, even though only 28% of bisexuals are out (compared to 71% of lesbians and 77% of gay men.) bisexuals out-number gays and lesbians combined, Many studies have followed which verify this data.
Bisexual Invisibility more like Bisexual Invincibility
reblogging for the last comment
Happy 20BiTeen, y’all. Time to reblog this chestnut and piss of the biphobes.
This is because the majority of people in general fall in the bisexual range of the sexuality spectrum. Only about 5% of people are completely straight and only about 5% of people are completely gay. Due to compulsory heterosexualality more people identify as straight when they could identify more comfortably as bi. And more people identify as gay when they could identify as bi because of the pressure to “pick a side.”

say what now
There are so many straight people who suddenly see a guy or girl who’s attractive and go No homo but… and I’m like Y'ALL, ACCEPT THE HOMO
Steps for another older piece! This was one of my last pieces I painted with Painter. I loved that program so much. 😭 Photoshop just isn’t the same. Still one of my favorite faces I think I’ve ever painted too. 🤔
Here’s her account, her tattoos are so fantastic to look at.
reblogging for the tattoo artists IG to be boosted
I keep seeing this post and I’ve gotta speak up on it, because that isn’t a good example of color on dark skin.
I’m a tattoo artist, and I’ve had a bunch of clients come in saying they were told dark skin can’t take any color whatsoever, which is bullshit. The long and short of it is dark skin can take plenty of color, provided it isn’t too light.
Tattoos look best when they’re fresh because the ink is still on the top layer of open skin. As the skin heals over the tattoo, the color gets less vibrant and defined. This is true of anybody of any skin tone. Tattoo pigments tend to act a lot like watercolor; they’re not terribly opaque in the skin, meaning that as that tattoo ages, the white will fade into patches of slightly lighter skin, and may disappear altogether, as will lighter colors like yellows and pinks. Many artists consider doing tattoos entirely or mostly in white ink to be irresponsible for that reason, and use white ink very sparingly to create small highlights, in places where even faded ink will add contrast.
Notice how the yellow is all but gone on even the lightest skin, while the deeper reds have stayed. And that isn’t even factoring in sun exposure, how often the skin is submerged in water, friction, or how the skin in the area bends and flexes. I know extremely pale people who lost all the color in their tattoos in 5 years due to a variety of those factors; I’m pale as they come, and the yellow in my oldest tattoo is only 2 years old and already super faded.
Color that lasts a long time is darker and more saturated than the skin it’s in.
See how the butterfly is still noticeably purple, and stands out in all the skin tones?
Teals, yellows, pinks and whites photograph beautifully in dark skin, but ultimately don’t have longevity as tattoos. Dark skin, however, can still take reds, blues, greens, purples, and browns beautifully! The best way to make color vivid in any skin is to put it in a strong black outline; tattoos like the one below will look like bruises as they age, and the fading color doesn’t have structured black to contrast and frame it.
Here’s some color on dark skin that will age well!
The yellows in this tattoo are very saturated and framed in lots of solid black; even if they fade, the fish will stay nice and vibrant.
Similarly, the white in this tattoo will definitely lighten, but the dark reds and blacks will hold the tattoo together very well.
Tl;dr, have a solid black outline, make sure the colors you pick are darker/more saturated than your own skin, and don’t rely too heavily on white. These are basic tattoo principles that can and should be used when deciding on any tattoo, regardless of skintone. Hope it helps!
Reblogging for the amazing fucking information I just received on tattoos
Alright so basically you watch some animated movies- I chose only 2D animated movies because I like the classic look, but It really doesn’t matter… I guess it doesn’t even have to be animated. THEN: You pull out a pencil, you get some paper, you pause the movie here and there to catch some good faces and expressions, and then you draw! The overall goal of this exercise isn’t to make thing perfect its mostly to give you a wide range of versatility and familiarity with different expressions and cartoon facial structures. I bet most of you could guess a lot of the movies I watched! :) Good luck friend and keep drawing!
So there's art styles that use things I want to strive for in my own. I've found all the artists in it are guys ( + you ). The sexs' brains function different, & I'm concerned that because I was born a girl I'll never be able to achieve what I want to with my art. I've always felt like a guy, and lately this has brung tears/frustration. I know that your art will only be as good as you work to make it, but there's only one girl in that list. Do you think that someones gender affects their art?
Hello! I think gender does not effect your style at all. Your style is what you want it to be and how hard you are willing to work regardless of what gender you are. You don’t don’t have to worry or limit yourself, just keep practicing.
This is tragic. Damn. Feel compelled to make a list of awesome ladies (sorry if I assume your gender incorrectly. Tried to research the prefs of everyone included):
There’s a bagillion more. But yeah. Damn. Making me think twice about leaving gender options unmarked.
Everyone look at this list!! LADIES! Ill dig through my follow list and add on! If anyone else has any fave lady artists please feel free to reblog and add them!
