Hi. , sorry, I'm a little nervous, wandering in uninvited and all. i've joined a few societies on HooToo and none have made me feel as nervous as this. I'll try again. What I wanted to ask was, do you guys do Tarot? I've just started and would like some guidance, if you can help me. If not, I'll just have a and be on my way.

I have done some Tarot but not a great deal, more into Runes myself. However feel free to have a drink! Its all on tap, meed, wine, ale, etc.

Hi there , I read Tarot, have done on n off for a few years, no expert yet but getting there and will help if I can. Did you see my entry on reading Tarot on the front page yesterday?

Dakarat: Runes? How do they work?

Serephina: yes, of course I saw your entry. Congratulations. In fact, that sort of led me here.

Thanks, I rescued it froom the flea market, had to do a lot of rewriting and additions though!

so anyway..tarot..have you found a deck you like? which are you using?

Yes, I have a deck.
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sasha-fenton/ is what it looks like, if you are interested. It's a bit femenin, but it does the job. How about you?

ahh ive not seen that one. i use the rider waite deck, but have also tried the thoth and marsailles

Runes are based on characters of the Eldar Futhark (and sometimes the newer Furthark or Northumbrian Futhark) alphabet and there meanings as historically recorded, one of the few long surviving methods of ancient divination. Each character has a meaning when drawn from a rune medicine bag and then is put into context with more runes if necessary, there is generally 28 Futhark runes with a few northumbrain runes that can also be added for more interpretations. Wikipedia has a pretty good article on them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runes

Thanks for the link, but that sort of made my head spin.
BTW, regarding drink smilies, may I fill up the bar a little?

We could add , and . I will of course not be adding non-alcoholic drinks to the bar. What kind of monster do you think I am?

Purple and green?

Hey! I resent that! You could at lease give me the credit of good taste.

Apart from that, spot on

Nah, there are some pretty good non alcholic brews if you know the right store, Celtica and Norfolk punch to name too.

Really? I don't think we get that stuff where I live. More's the pity

*pours some in a glass* try some!
