So I have this huge oracle deck called Alchemy Elementals that I've been slowly learning. I'm reading its ridiculously massive (size wise) book, and writing down long notes about each card. And I decided, for this deck, I wanted to do something different and use it for this game. Each card, save for 8 special cards, belong to one of four classical elements (Fire, Sky, Water, and Land). I can separate them into 4 piles and draw them along with 1 of the special cards to get a reading, coupled with Tarot cards.

I've also got a die, a D4, that will help us determine what element each person will get. When you request a reading, I will roll the die then draw from one of the piles, along with a special card and a tarot card, to get your message. This game is similar to the Aura reading, except that your element will represent your most current energy, as well as its gifts and challenges. This isn't a natal reading, so the element you get may not necessarily be one that you prefer the most; it will be whatever is most relevant to your current life path.

Thanks for the questions!!

vanadium // I’m usually in bed by 12:30-1 am but oftentimes don’t actually go to sleep until 1-2 am. I am not endorsing this sleep schedule and do not recommend it but ya gotta love the effects of both depression and anxiety on sleep

manganese // tiramisu or creme brulee

boron // definitely physics. I took it once and shall never again put myself through that. Ironically, it was probably up there among the classes where I learned the most, retroactively at least, but yeah, no.

carbon // Bic Xtra-life 0.7 mm mechanical pencils ftw

nitrogen // not 100% sure yet, definitely want to do psych research, but leaning away from research + academia and towards research + clinical

oxygen // sounds cheesy af, but love. I put love first, time and time again, before school, before my career, before my pride or my fears or the judgment of others.

I got tagged by @ditzymax to do this tag game, thanks lovely <3
