@ulfhrafnx asked for an oracle card.
THE PLAGUE ;; (Element: Air)
purging, isolation, overcoming anxiety
Anxious and alone the Plague begins, aware that it is destined to affect millions, yet unsure whether what it brings will be joy or sorrow. It knows only that it must spread.
You are capable of transferring your energy, your message, to more people than you can fathom in this moment. Look inwards, and ask yourself, 'What is my message? How can I best communicate it to others? Am I helping? Healing?'
As you meditate upon these questions, you may wish to challenge yourself by transforming the negative into the positive, beginning with two of the effects that the infamous Black Death had upon its victims: Purging and isolation. As you refine the ideas you wish to spread to the world, can you purge any past emotions that may muddy your message? Any beliefs that may no longer be yours? And can you embrace this brief period of isolation whilst you craft your greatest creation yet? Take your time — when you are ready, so will be your audience, and you may then find yourself with more attention than you know what to do with!
THE TEA LEAF ;; (Element: Earth)
soothing, stimulating, enlightenment, awakening
A common tool for divination within the Asylum, the Tea Leaf gives nourishment of a different kind — an awakening of the senses, a gentle nudging of the spirit towards expansion.
Before you is a delicate china cup filled with clear, steaming water. You turn your face upwards to watch the Tea Leaf fluttering down to you. As she lands in the water, her delicate green flushes more vivid. You lift the cup with both hands and gaze into the colouring brew. The Tea Leaf knows that you have a question for her. She tells you that you may ask now, and you do. She replies that you will receive your answer when you drink, but that the sooner you do so the sweeter your answer will be, though it may be lacking some detail, whilst the longer you allow her to brew the more bitter might the flavor become, yet the most complete the answer. The water is turning a deeper jade now, and, when you feel it is time, you lift the cup to your lips and drink. As you swallow, your intuition is stimulated, and you are able to see your answer forming peacefully in your mind. If you desire more detail, you may drink again.
