#oracle dice

[publishinggoblin]

The Goblin's Oracle Dice return for their final iteration. Two full 22-dice sets of divinatory click-clacks. One from the past editions, now called The Seasons Set. One all-new, The Key Keepers Set.

Choose which dice will foretell the future, then cast them over the reading grids. Four reading grids offer versatility in your readings, and 44 dice to choose from means you can tailor your focus quite clearly.

With guidebooks to teach you the nuances of each die, cheat sheets to make learning easier than ever, and wooden carry boxes, as well as an all-new Chest to store the full sets with all their extras, this is the final edition for a reason. This is the Oracle Dice as they were meant to be.

We launch May 1st, will you join us on Backerkit?

[worm-dark]

In three days (May 1st, 2025), join @publishinggoblin (and me!) in the ephemeral smoke of a quiet night.

The 22 Seasons dice return, each face unique and custom, including @cryptotheism's Alchemists die, @charminglyantiquated's Mariner's die, and my Metamorphosis die.

Or venture into the unknown with the Keys dice set. The dice from the Misery Tarot (illustrated by @0ddoblivion, deliciously dark and twisted), Oracle of Play, and Hot Housewives Tarot find themselves among this set, and there is also a new 7-dice basis in this set: The Keepers of the Keys.

There are cloths, guide books, a chest, pins, and more (fantastic work by @ezraillo)! Tell a spooky friend or your favorite dice addict. 🎲

You all thought I was only going to have a discount code for my ko-fi shop through the end of last year, didn't you? HA! I've got another one good on all physical items (blind book dates and handmade dice/cosmetic bags currently, and I am still working on some origami crane good luck charms) - the new discount code is: HI2025 and is good through the end of the week

And of course all tarot and oracle dice readings, are also still discounted for the same time frame, pay what you can starting at $3 each (usually $5 for dice and $7 for tarot)

[the-nameless-juan]

So got some time to finally take a crack at doing a reading with @publishinggoblin Oracle Dice.

Drew up the reading in the reading journal and then cracked open the guide and proceeded to have all of the raw nerves (some I didn’t even know I had!) touched with just the core and body/summer quadrant and had to put it down for the day. Currently working on interpreting material/autumn and anticipating even more emotional damage.

10/10 will use with caution-anticipation-dread, considering adding a copy with my Alleyway Oracle pledge for the road.

Oh the box is even prettier than I'd imagined

I am going to enjoy these SO much aaaaaaa

BACKERKIT: Oracle Dice

I recently received, after a long time of waiting, my Alleyman’s Tarot! The maker who was making that mentioned he was making an Oracle Dice. I have some Oracle Dice from Etsy, but I was excited for this one as I think with the card side options, it will play well with the Alleyman Tarot, which somehow became my favorite go to deck? (Don’t tell my other decks)....

https://www.backerkit.com/c/publishing-goblin-llc/oracle-dice#top

One thing I think is interesting is that last time the Publishing Goblin used both Kickstarter and BACKERKIT. One to start it and one to finish it. Apparently BACKERKIT wanted to start playing Kickstarter’s game. I don’t know who I have my money on for being better. I am also not expecting this for at least a year, I ordered this on June 2022. 

It funded in July 2022, and before it funded I added enough money to get two journals for reading notes but the campaign said it would be available if it made it to a certain amount, and I guess it did but no one could see it? It made it with preorder sales. I am happy for the maker, but I wish I was better told this, because I otherwise allocated those funds as tip. I don’t mind tipping but I wanted a journal more. But Backerkit is still working out how it does add ons and hopefully in the future its a more straight forward process so opportunities, like the journal. 

Preorders are finalizing in August, and I should be charged for shipping in August/September. Timing wise, if they can ship in September 2022 (even though I would prefer to have shipping included, I get it) I would be thrilled. Of course more delays happened. And I know I am being kind of harsh, it happens, but it would of been cool if it did not happen this time. Shipping is now going to be in February 2023. What reads odd is other projects come out, and they mention on there they have THOSE shipping times solid but not others. 

Got an update in December of 2022, and it looks more like March 2023 for shipping. At least there is more of an end in sight? I would love to get an update that says we are on track not more and more behind but that is ok. I would not be shocked if this took a year to materialize again. Got an update in March, ya know when shipping was supposed to happen. Dice are being finished, and shipping is now supposed to be April 2023. 

In April, shipping was charged. While it would be less than a year since the original order was placed, I still kind of can’t believe how long these take. 

(Almost) 1 Year Later...

It has arrived. Well part of it, the first part of the order came in May. I had my dice, oracle cards, wooden holders in this shipment. The second shipment should of had my clothes, oracle books, and tarot book. I ended up getting two oracle dice/card sets and an alley man tarot deck for my sister. Who doesn’t want matching nontraditional divination tools? The second shipment arrived the next day with books, cloths, and booster packs. So everything arrived! 

So I know the question on everyone’s mind, have I played with them yet? Almost. They function like tarot cards, and there kind of needs to be some understanding. Playing with them is one thing, but reading makes it that much more deep. So the “getting to know one another” process has been slow but food. I made a couple of posts about it so far, and I love the content coming out of this playtime. 

Realistically, I am not shocked just a little disappointed in the year long timeline. But, after this came in-me and my sister will have a matching set of oracle dice and tarot cards and I can’t imagine what more we would need. So I don’t mind the wait, it is worth it but makes me less inclined to be open to future projects. There is an Alleyway’s Oracle and while that would be a fun addition for the collection, do I feel like waiting another year for project? We shall see...

Elemental Dice Oracle

Heavily inspired by Stephen Ball's Elemental Divination: A Dice Oracle, I've developed my own system of a quick and versatile dice oracle. All you need is a set of 3 six-sided dice.

The d6 numbers are associated with 6 elements as per Elemental Divination. In brief, they are:

1 - Air 2 - Fire 3 - Water 4 - Earth 5 - Sun 6 - Moon

If you enjoy this divination method, Elemental Divination is excellent supplementary reading, but you do not need to read the book as I will detail my method in full.

Note: Unlike Stephen's method, I read all three dice and infer the answer based on elemental interactions, and the elemental nature of my question. This means a "Greater X over Y" and "Lesser X over Y" oracle can exist in the same reading.

A great read on a similar concept using tarot can be found eloquently written by @windvexer in this post 😊

The elemental nature of the question:

Depending on your approach to the subject of divination, you can associate yourself and your efforts with one of these elements should they appear in the reading, or treat the question's element as a secret 4th dice.

Air: matters of the mind, learning, logic, memory, intellect, communication, travel, work relationships (acquaintances, colleagues, customers/clients), persuasion and public speaking, matters where rapid action and quick thinking is needed.

Fire: matters of desire, motivation, passion, sexuality, willpower, inspiration, and health (in terms of innate constitution and vitality), situations where might and zealousness is needed.

Water: matters of subjectivity, emotion, connection, personal/intimate relationships (partner(s), family, close friends), overseas travel, opinions and perception, dreaming, intuition, charisma.

Earth: matters of objectivity, physical health and circumstances, money and savings, long-term projects, practical skills, practical relationships (business partners, teachers, neighbours).

Sun: activity, growth, visibility, reputation, self-expression, expansion, public life - outcome is inclined to be positive and have an observable change.

Moon: passivity, stillness, self-reflection, retreating inwards, invisibility, private life - outcome is inclined to be negative or have no outward effect.

Method

Very simply, throw 3 dice and read the interactions between them, whether the interactions are auspicious, or inclined towards a certain behaviour.

The most positive outcome is a balance of elements that interact well with each other. For instance, Water, Earth and Sun is a very auspicious omen as these elements are optimal for growth and life.

Alternatively, if you have a strong desire for a certain outcome, then the appearance of an element associated with your goals may indicate how things will play out.

3 of any element strongly indicates an outcome that is based on the nature of that element. This can be positive or negative, but is usually undesirable. This is because there is nothing to balance out the activity of that element, so its activities can spin out of control.

Sometimes an element in Excess is a great omen and exactly what you want, other times it shows something is in overdrive. It all depends on the circumstances and the question asked.

Elements on a 1:1 basis are Moderate and have unique interactions with each other.

When 2 dice are the same element, this element is Greater.

When 3 dice are the same element, this element is in Excess.

An element that is Greater can match or overcome another element it is weak to, or completely diminish a weaker element.

It is up to you how you interpret elements that are Moderate, Greater or in Excess, as they can represent different omens depending on your situation.

Elemental attributes & relationships

This is a general overview of each element and how they can be interpreted in an oracle.

Air

Air is active, fast-moving, multi-directional and erratic.

Moderate Air (that is, Air in balance) allows movement and progression, it brings novel ideas and fresh experiences, it facilitates communication and understanding, enables learning and critical thinking.

Excess Air is pure thought and fantasy, plans not grounded in reality, communication that lacks empathy, empty promises and unconfirmed speculation.

Air feeds Fire, but can also drive it out of control. Hence, Air is weak to Fire, benefits Fire, but Greater Air can influence Fire.

Air balances Water, as aerated water supports life. In symbolic terms it is a balance between heart and mind. Greater Air can stir up Water, as thoughts stir up emotions, symbolising persuasive speech shaping perspectives. Whereas Greater Water indicates the strength of emotion overpowering logic and reason.

Air is weak to Earth and moves around Earth, as Earth directs Air the way a fan or musical instrument does. Air and Earth are a positive combination in the creation of music, song and speech. Greater Air can move Earth, as a tornado does, but the effects are disastrous and short-lived.

Fire

Fire is active, expansive, transformative and destructive, and is greatly influenced by the other elements.

Moderate Fire (that is, Fire in balance) brings the spark of creativity and inspiration, invigorates the will, and grants the energy and vitality to overcome challenges.

Excess Fire is inflammation, unmitigated destruction, conflict, anger without reason, passion unrequited, and burnout.

Fire depends on a balance of Air and Earth to thrive; without these, it is short-lived and diminishes over time. Just as one's motivations can be limited by external factors and one's ability to plan and strategise.

Fire feeds on Air, symbolising passion and zeal that is balanced by a clear mind. But Greater Fire becomes violent and unreasonable, lacking the rationality of Air. Contrarily, Greater Air can manipulate Fire, it can spur Fire in a different direction, but cannot mitigate Fire's destructive nature. Greater Air can also extinguish Fire, as wind blows out a candle, but this depends on the strength of Fire.

Fire feeds on Earth, indicating a goal that is achievable, but Greater Fire is unsustainable and depletes Earth's resources. Contrarily, Greater Earth smothers and extinguishes Fire.

Fire is weak to Water, but Greater Fire can influence Water, as heat turns water into steam, as passion and charisma stirs the heart's emotions.

Water

Water is passive, slow-moving, fluid, soft and mutable.

Moderate Water (that is, Water in balance) inspires connection, empathy, shared identity, culture and experiences. It cools, enables, cradles and nourishes. It softens the rough, and brings relief and growth.

Excess Water is a treacherous ocean of emotions and subjectivity, opinions and perspectives unchecked by reason, obsession and infatuation, a lack of boundaries, unhappy outcomes, and improbable goals.

Water and Air are a harmonious pair, as heart and mind are in balance. However, Greater Air can stir up Water into a storm, as persuasion and propaganda shapes one's perspective.

Water diminishes Fire and keeps it in check, but Greater Fire transforms and diminishes Water, for good or ill. Either way, they are always in conflict.

Water and Earth create life. Water nourishes Earth, and follows the paths laid out by Earth. Greater Earth restricts Water and keeps it contained. Contrarily, Greater Water erodes Earth, and turns Earth to mud, creating stagnation and difficulty.

Earth

Earth is passive, inactive, stable, unmoving and persistent.

Moderate Earth (that is, Earth in balance) indicates favourable circumstances, available resources, and long-lasting results. It defines boundaries, lends form and structure, and creates strong foundations upon which other things can be built.

Excess Earth becomes rigidity, authoritarianism, stubbornness, unnecessary sternness, and leads to stagnation, repeated errors, and fruitless results.

Earth and Air are a harmonious pair, embodying plans that are feasible and bear fruit in the real world. Greater Air can mean overthinking, or that one's ideas are hit-or-miss, with only moderate chances of success. Greater Earth indicates physical constraints, but success is still possible using clever strategy.

Earth and Water are very auspicious together, enabling growth and life. Greater Earth symbolises ground water, i.e. some effort is needed before the benefits of Water can be obtained. For instance, rules and boundaries need to be established before people can work together. Contrarily, Greater Water symbolises muddy earth which slows progress and creates stagnation.

Sun & Moon

The 4 elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth do not affect the Sun and Moon. Rather, the 4 elements are impacted by the light of Sun or Moon.

Sun brings out the more positive, active, or extroverted qualities of the 4 elements.

Moon brings out the more negative, passive, or introverted qualities of each element. Moon can indicate a blind spot or unknown influence.

When appearing in a reading together, Sun and Moon can indicate a balance of their respective domains.

However, Moon is weak to Sun, and Greater Sun thoroughly defeats the influence of Moon.

Alternatively, Greater Moon can overcome Sun (an eclipse) and indicates inner qualities overcoming outer circumstances – this can be positive, as in the case of personal resilience overcoming external challenges. Or, it can be negative in terms of self-sabotage.

Excess Sun is where personal joy and self-expression turns into self-gratification and arrogance.

Excess Moon indicates unknown influence, delusion and deceit.

3 element oracles

We've covered 2:1 oracles and 3:0 where one element is Greater or in Excess. Here are some examples of interpretation where all three dice differ in the elements shown. As always, remember that every oracle can have multiple interpretations depending on how the question is phrased.

Water, Earth, Sun: As mentioned before, this is an excellent omen of fortune and growth. Success will come easily.

Water, Earth, Moon: Gestation. Growth is possible, but halted. Patience is advised. Wait until conditions ripen, it is a matter of time.

Air, Earth, Fire: Take action and pursue your goals ardently, you have all the resources you need for success.

Water, Earth, Fire: Success is possible, but be wary of possible conflict and difficulty.

Water, Air, Fire: Strong likelihood of conflict and disagreement. Create distance, or be prepared to be diplomatic and compromise.

Fire, Sun, Moon: You are going up against a stronger and more skilled opponent and have very low chances of success. Retreating is advised.

Fire, Sun, Air: Your opponent is stronger, but you can obtain some success if you re-think your plans and method of interaction. There is a good learning opportunity here.

Fire, Sun, Earth: Your opponent is strong, but conditions are favourable and you can hold out for now. However, plan for your current strategy to fail in the near future.

Sun, Moon, Earth: Neutral oracle, everything is as it seems. Patience is key, wait for the situation to unfold over time.

Air, Earth, Sun: Your plans are likely to bear fruit, so long as you stay focused and maintain your efforts.

Air, Earth, Moon: Your efforts and plans will have little effect, as the situation is not ripe for change. Turn inwards and work on yourself.

Air, Water, Moon: Expect a period of sadness and difficulty. Your perspective needs to adapt to the situation. More understanding and open-mindedness is needed.

Conclusion

I hope I have demonstrated just how versatile this oracle can be, and there are even more possibilities than what is written in this post. It has become my favourite method of divination, as the dice can be thrown and read quickly, while offering a precise and in-depth answer.

Upsetting a Deity (You Probably Haven't!)

Upsetting a Deity A lot goes around about upsetting a deity, but the chances are you haven’t! Deities won’t be upset about little mistakes or being unable to pray because you’re having a flare-up. They understand and they care. Most likely, they would want you to be well and safe. It would take a LOT for a deity to be upset in a significant way.

Upsetting a Deity example In Hellenism, you must be clean before offering or communicating with a deity. We should all research thoroughly, but sometimes things are missed, so not washing your hands before offering food may not be looked upon favourably. However, you can learn from this and embed it into future practice. Apologise for the mistake and move on, dwelling will only make things harder for you and your relationship with the deity.

What if I didn’t give them an offering today? That’s okay. Give your deity an offering when you next can. You don’t have to give offerings daily, or on any set timescale. If you can’t do offerings at all, that’s fine too. There is no must for offerings!

What if I just realised my old actions were disrespectful? Then you’re learning and that’s great. Let’s remember that deities aren’t human, their stances wouldn’t be like ours. Apologise for your past mistakes and move forward. If you’d like to build a relationship with that deity, begin doing so with your new found knowledge on being as respectful as you can be.

But I made a promise that I couldn’t fulfil? Try avoiding making promises you can’t keep, especially specific promises. Try making a loose promise, so rather than a set time for a specific offering, promise to do it when you next get the chance. Deities understand that things change. As long as you intend to fulfil your promise at the time you make it, they know your intention was there. If it didn’t happen, do it when you next can.

But I feel bad anyway, how can I fix things? If you feel bad or would just like to do something to make it up to the deity, do what you would normally do. Apologise, honour them, provide an offering, and share how you have learnt from the experience. A small mistake or getting something wrong will not have an everlasting impact on you.

The deity isn’t responding properly to me anymore! Are you communicating with a clear mind? Your emotions and mindset impact how you communicate and may be overriding the responses or even how you interpret them. Take a break, realise you can apologise and move on, and relax. When you’re in a calmer mindset, try again.

What if they don’t want me to worship/work with them anymore? How do you know this? Deities are deities, they want to be worshipped. I can assure you, the chances are you haven’t done anything bad enough to where a deity no longer wants you to worship/work with them. Like before, take a break, apologise, relax, and move on. Communicate about topics when you’re in the right mindset to do so.

So I can do anything and the deities won’t be upset? No. Like before, deities are deities. They are divine. They see your intentions, they know when you’re being truthful, respectful, and honest. Don’t try to fool them or purposefully disrespect them, you will not be granted their favour by doing this. Likewise, do try avoid making promises, oaths, and similar, that you know there’s a chance you might not be able to keep.

PAC: Your January Forecast 🎇❄🦢

Sup y'all, I'm back for the very last PAC I'm gonna write for 2023. By the end of the weekend, we will have shifted to a whole new year, with a new moon close in tow. I'm gonna be honest, this has been a rough year for me, but not without its bright spots. Like the birth of this blog, for one! I'm already planning the 1 Year Special.

The plan is only to expand from here to see what more there is to do! There was a lot I wanted to do this year but didn't get around to doing because of life, so I have a lot lined up for January.

Thank you for your support this past year in helping my blog grow! The circle is small, but each like and reblog makes a difference, especially to newcomers like me.

Please choose your swan ornament below to find out about how your January will look for the new year. Instead of Tarot today, I'll be using my Black Salt Lenormand deck and Astro Dice to get details along with oracles for advice.

Pile 1 - Black Swan Pile 2 - White Swan Pile 3 - Gold Swan

Pile 1 - Black Swan

Death, Sun; 49. Sun A♦, Cross 6♣, Crossroads Q♦; Uranus, 11th House, Aquarius

Hi, pile 1! Hope you're feeling alive and well for 2024. I kinda called this the "zombie pile" while drawing cause I'm getting this sluggish energy dragging along. Mumbling, creeping, hair disheveled. Goodness, this past year had you wiped out, didn't it? If you're feeling pressured for a resolution, I wouldn't, because for you I think simply sloughing off the old year like snake skin is your main priority for January. I'm hearing Usher's lyrics: "I feel like a zombie come back to life." Maybe you could treat this month like an extended New Year's Eve party. You can't force yourself to be excited for it, but you can slowly build up to it.

There is an emphasis on positive thinking with this pile. You have two Suns from different decks. Doing what brings you simple joy will be healing for you this month. Focusing on little joys can help you shift perspective. Being in the present is very important right now, and you're being asked not to think too much about last year as it will only drain you of further energy. You can't draw healing to yourself if you're spending all your Magic Points on looking backwards for answers. It it feels difficult to be positive, think outside the box at how you can move away from past thinking, like making a vision board for what you most desire to experience this year.

One of the real impressive things about your reading are the dice. You have Uranus, its natural house 11, and its sign Aquarius. Emphasis on CHANGE, much? You know how in movies, where the main character is falling into darkness and has relinquished all hope of being saved, and just as it fades to black someone swoops in to help them while casually laughing off "hah, yeah, I just happened to be in the neighborhood when I saw you falling into an infinite chasm, y'know?"

The word "Deus Ex Machina" is also popping up, or "god out of machine". It's a Latin term referring to an ancient Greek theater technique where a crane would lower an actor dressed as a deity onto the stage during the final act of a comedy, delivering sudden divine intervention and saving the day for the heroes. In other words, there is massive and very unexpected change for you, one that's gonna pull you out of the sluggish stupor of 2023. This is why resolutions aren't important for you now; whatever 2024 will be for you, it's coming in lightning hot and will do that for you.

And I think this change, however large and surprising, will be ultimately wonderful for you. There is so much sunlight emerging from this fog, new life will be breathed in for you by divine planning. It's going to help you work through some of the damage that last year left behind. It will also help you pivot to your next chapter in life. It may feel weird going into a new year with very little expectations, not knowing where you're going to end up next, but it'll be worth it. When the door swings open for you, it will BURST open, so stay on the bright side and focus on regenerating your health for now.

May your new year be shockingly bright, pile 1!

Pile 2 - White Swan

Strength, 25. Sapphire; Garden 8♠, Anchor 9♠, Person A♥; Gemini, 12th House, Pluto

Hello, pile 2! This month will be a quiet one for you, in a good way. This will be a time of retreat for you. If you found yourself being rather social at the end of 2023, expect the new year to start off with a whimper. I see you going into a hermit mode and disengaging from regular activities, especially involving other people. I get the sense that this pile is the type to want to overextend and please everyone around them. If you need a resolution suggestion from me, it's to put the brakes on now before you careen over the edge. January is putting a halt to this behavior.

Yes, you are strong. No, you do not always need to be strong for everybody else. It will wear you thin to even try, and you may end up resentful over it. It's not worth the struggle. I'm not asking you to snap at anyone who comes too close, but consider not adding more of other peoples' errands to your schedule. Consider saying, "actually, I can't go today," without feeling the need to explain why. You have a right to your own personal space away from distractions now.

This pile could belong to a group of people or community that's close to you, which could be going through a lot of hell or has been in the past year. They may have asked a lot from you with few other options. It's made you have to stand up and advocate, at the cost of your own issues being put on the back burner. It is not selfish to walk away for a while and take care of yourself, doubly so if the group in question deals with a lot of arguing and gossip. If it feels bad, trust your gut and keep your distance for now. Don't try to solve big arguments while Mercury is retrograding.

I know how Pluto in the 12th house is, as it's prominent in my chart. Imagine walking downstairs to get to your basement, only for the stairs to never end until you find yourself floating in a weird little wonderland. Somewhere, in that surreal underground mindscape, is a deeply entrenched karmic pattern that may elude you at first. Some shadow work may be required here to dig through the trenches for unpolished gems. If a pesky pattern is repeating in your life, it's time to withdraw and connect to your dreams and subconscious for clues. This pattern may have something to do with this group.

You're actually going to get more progress done by meditating and seeking out nature rather than getting too involved with these issues. The time will come when things can be handled with a clearer mindset. But your higher self is pulling you inward to help ground you through this, to remind you that you are your own amazing being even when you're separate from these people. You have the strength to stand on your own, otherwise there wouldn't be so many folks seeking you out in need. Sapphire wants you to marry your heart with your mind. It's a stone of wisdom guided by compassionate understanding and care. You spin your wheels overthinking an issue, when instead coming back to your heartspace will provide the key.

Take it easy this winter, pile 2, may your dreams give clarity and hope for 2024!

Pile 3 - Gold Swan

Protection, 15. Opal; Bouquet Q♠, Person A♥, Crossroads Q♦; 4th House, Capricorn, Mercury

What's going on, pile 3? Looks like somebody wants to enter hibernation mode, lol. I don't blame you one bit. As the full moon in Cancer has passed and the season changes, there's a strong desire to nestle into the home. Your house will be like your castle for you to improve during this month. You may feel up to redecorating or rearranging furniture to make it feel more cozy or season appropriate as you settle in. Or you may simply desire to clear out old things to decide what to keep.

You may want to do a spiritual cleansing of the house to ring in the New Year, too. Try infusing magic herbs like lemon verbena into your cleaning products, or toss cinnamon outside the front door while ringing a bell to invite prosperity in. A simple incense stick with a very fresh, mild scent like lavender can also do the trick. Does your family have a special trick or recipe they use? Whatever herb and scent combination brings out that "New Year New Me" feeling is best!

I heard loud and clearly, "YOU'RE PROTECTED!" for whomever needs to hear it most. Things might feel shaky and ungrounded at the moment. I wanna wrap a big blanket around y'all. You're being totally protected right now by your guides, so please don't let the uncertainties of 2024 leave your head dizzied. Yes, there's a lot of plans to be drawn out and a lot more work to be done, and you may not know where you're heading next, but perhaps there's a reason we like to begin the year at such a slow quiet time, after all the festivities have passed. It's not sound to start off in a rush.

You're being heavily affected by Sun in Capricorn doubled with the current Mercury retrograde, regardless of your chart placements. This is absolutely not a time for rash decision making, even if it feels you're not being your most productive. Our modern society doesn't like it when workers take a break or listen to their body's needs in any way. It will always have its excuses for its ruthless standards. After a while, though, you have to learn to shrug those expectations off and do what's right for you, or you'll risk burning out before the new year has even started.

Some of you might be thinking of even doing the Dry January trend as part of your resolution. If it's a serious issue, I'd talk to your doctor about how to do it sustainably. If you're already stressed and at risk of burnout, more pressure is not going to help. But a sober month could prove beneficial for you overall. This is not a command for you to have a Dry January if you're not interested; this message is for those who already plan on doing so. Try to take it one day at a time, keep your head free of self criticism, and don't guilt yourself over "cheat days". I will be doing one as well, so please reach out if you need a supporting voice.

Wishing you all the best to come this year pile 3, may you succeed in your resolutions!

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! All tarot and dice readings (under the 'readings' tab) are discounted to pay what you can starting at $3 (usually $5 for dice and $7 for tarot) AND! If you get one of each, I'll throw in a single oracle card draw on top of it FREE OF CHARGE! There's no code needed for that one, I'll apply it automatically.

CLOYING CHOKING INDULGENCES

NOSTALGIA HAS ITS PLACE

BURY YOUR BURDENS AND MOVE ON ANOTHER CAN HAVE THEIR FRUIT

LET THEM JUDGE YOU ARE FREE

You are choking on the finer things in life, buried under indulgences and treats. But you are not happy, the cloying sweetness is rotting you away, infecting you with all manner of things. You dream of a simpler time, whether it be some half remembered childhood, or dreams long since abandoned. Perhaps it’s time to pick them back up? Whatever responsibilities they say you have, you can just walk away, you need not stay, they will judge you, decry you, but their burdens need not be yours. At the end of the day, you must pursue your ambitions and dreams, for none will do it for you.
