My friend ysabetwordsmith is hosting a poetry fish bowl on Tuesday, 1 December. This time the theme will be "cultures of the world." She'll be soliciting ideas for culture heroes, historic figures, ancient or modern societies, objects linked to a certain culture, winter holidays around the world, cultural practices, culture clashes, historic evolution of cultures, places associated with a given culture, and poetic forms linked to a culture in particular.

Tell your friends, and come by and feed the fish!

My LiveJournal friend miintikwa is holding her one card draw this afternoon, 1pm - 4pm EST.

She knows her onions. Pop on over and ask her a question. Throw a donation in her tip jar if you feel so inclined.

My friend ysabetwordsmith is hosting a poetry fishbowl today.

A poetry fishbowl is where you can 'feed the fish' by tossing ideas for her to convert into prose and poetry. This month the theme is languages and writing.

ysabetwordsmith is a published author and renowned writer in many circles. I encourage everyone to pop on over and feed the fish!

haikujaguar is selling bookmarks, with a special deal if you buy more than one. Five styles are available. The artwork on them is amazing! And they go for a good cause, too.

The One-Card Draw is drawing to a close (heh, get it, drawing? oh well...)

Thank you to all those who participated. If you missed getting a card pulled, don't worry. I'll be drawing again on the 16th of November, and also today from 2pm EST - 5pm EST miintikwa will be continuing the readings.

Blessings everyone! Thanks for accompanying me on this journey!

Greetings!

Welcome to the debut one-card draw, where I am featuring my work-in-progress with the Tarot of the Grandmothers.

I am a professional intuitive with around 2 decades of experience and currently work full time for a psychic network. I've read at all sorts of events from psychic fairs to folk festivals to mind/body/spirit weekends. I'm a member of the ATA and am a TCBA certified professional reader.

In these readings, I will be using the Tarot of the Grandmothers, a deck on which I am working and hoping to have publicized one day. The reading you get may 'not' be like any other reading you've had in the past; I ask that you just roll with it, because the way these archetypes images speak to me is fairly unique. Any feedback you wish to give me is gratefully appreciated.

I'll get to as many readings as I can until 1pm CST, at which time miintikwa will pick up the baton and read this afternoon.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Be blessed, everyone!

Just to let you know I'll be doing the debut One-Card Draw tomorrow, Friday the 16th of October, from approximately 9am - 1pm central time.

The draw will feature cards from the deck which I am designing, the Tarot of the Grandmothers. This deck takes is rooted in the Wisdom of the Archetypal Grandmothers from many different traditions, and I am very excited to be giving it a 'test run'.

Don't worry if you miss this, though, because miintikwa will be picking up the banner with her one-card drawing when my draw is finished.

Normally we wouldn't be reading on the same day, but miintikwa usually reads on a Friday, and I am planning on doing my one-card draws on the 16th, and it just so happens that every now and then the 16th is going to fall on a Friday!

I'm looking forward to doing this, and miintikwa and I are looking forward to seeing more shared cyber-funded activities start to flourish.

Just a quickie between chores to mention that ysabetwordsmith is hosting a poetry fishbowl on shapeshifters today. I'm keen to read what transpires. Pop over and feed the fish!

My friend ysabetwordsmith is having a poetry fishbowl on the 13th of October. This month's theme is horror. I'm particularly intrigued to see what occurs around the shapeshifting theme, as I have a penchant to shapeshifters and shapeshifting myself. Ysabet is very talented at putting random ideas into effective poetry; I invite you all to stop by and feed the fish!
