The spirit spoke to Simon as he ran. “Running water is no friend to–”
Simon tuned him out. The Gemini bridge was an ancient walkway over a small river, barely larger than most creeks. It formally had no name, but was known by nearly everyone as the Gemini bridge. This bridge was reportedly the site of a brazen act of fratricide. Some stories claimed a boy was murdered by his identical twin brother. Other reports went on to say his twin sister did the deed.

Fight or flight. The command was hardwired into Simon’s nervous system.
Fight? There were too many of them. He was not even sure what “they” were. Had they been humans, practitioners of some art unknown and revelers their own mutilation? Or were they something worse?
Piercings and gold teeth flashed in the moonlight as the others growled angrily. Continue reading
Last Week: 8 of Wands
You’ve had the idea. The idea of all ideas. This is the idea that will revolutionize quality, efficiency and satisfaction all across the board. You have dreamed big. Your efforts are now about to be realized. All you need is someone to sign off on them.
This Week: Emperor
Brilliant! He loves it.
As soon as it is disseminated through his favorite cronies, picked apart, and re imagined to fit with company policy then your idea will be implemented with much enthusiasm.
Conclusion: 5 of Pentacles
Well, you had to offend the boss’s cronies. Look at it like being thrust into a new adventure, ready or not.
Shortly after offending the cronies, your job is lost. Whether in disgrace or in poverty, your home slips out from under you as well. Life on the streets will show you many new and terrible sights.
Don’t fret about revenge or returning to work. The cronies have your split your idea up between them and shared in the rewards. They then implemented your idea all wrong. They blamed you for their failure while they kept their raises. You wouldn’t want to work there any more, even if they didn’t hate you.
Hey all.
I’m not 100% right now. Had a change in personal matters that have left me unable to produce a quality podcast. I’m proud of the last story written but not yet read for you. Once again, I wrote too much and had to cut myself off.
Actually attempting to record right now would be self destructive.
As soon as I’m back to at least a good 80%, the podcast will be back too. I’m committed to this, financially and with all my spirit. The dizzy spells and dull tongue aren’t working out right now. That’s all this is.
The Monday and Friday readings will be back this week. I have plans for Tuesday – Thursday, too.
Best wishes to you all,
-Andrew
Last week: 4 of Chalices
You are perhaps giving in too much to your dreams of a happier workplace. You have planned and prepared for that better position beyond any useful effort. Look around you. The scenery is gorgeous and perfect for change. Or, just keep dreaming.
This week: Knight of Wands
Air acts as fire. The ambitious mind succeeds where the dreamer fails. You have just been had by a person who got up to fight for his place against all odds. Worse, you have only yourself to blame.
Conclusion: Queen of Wands
Water and fire converge to decide your fate. Ambitious leaders dislike listless dreamers. As the higher power looks down on you, you know your verdict before it is spoken.
Off with your head.
You will find that keeping your head in the clouds does not make your neck untouchable by the executioner’s blade.
