#stichomancy reading

This new blog is officially accepting requests for tarot readings, oracle readings, and more! Please read the About and Rules pages before sending in an ask. 

We welcome your questions & hope to be of help!

Hello :) I don’t get to do stichomancy readings much but I love to so thank you for your question!

Here’s the passage I got for you it from Charmides:

“Down the steep rock with hurried feet and fast

Clomb the brave lad, and reached the cave of Pan,

And hear the goat-foot snoring as he passes,

and lept upon a grassy knoll and ran

Like a young faun unto an olive wood

Which in a shady valley by the well-built city stood”

Now I want to preface this interpretation by saying that i don’t do readings about Gods so the fact that Pan is mentioned may have significance to you but I can’t do much interpreting for you on that. you can ask me questions about whatever your interpretations of that is if you’d like too and I’ll answer whatever I can within my personal comfort zone:)

Now for my interpretation! For me this passage tells me that this coming month working on your passions will be important. You are close to achieving something that you have been working towards and you need one final big push to get to that ‘well-built city’. Go about whatever you have to do with joy and know that rewards are coming your way. 

Hello, of course!

I decided to do a stichomancy using Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. From page 805:

“Marius did what he deemed necessary and just. [...] He believed, at that very time, that he had a solemn duty to perform.”

A short passage, but the context will tell the whole story! At this point in the book, Marius has just married the love of his life, Cosette, without whom he sees no point in living. He has been led to believe that Cosette’s surrogate father, Valjean, is a murderer, and so he attempts to drive him out of their lives. When they later find out that this is false, Marius rushes to apologize and reconcile with him.

Essentially, I sense that your husband will be like how Marius is here described. He will be a very just and decisive man. He will love you deeply and do everything in his power to be with you, protect you, and ensure you a happy and comfortable life. Perhaps his occupation will have to do with justice, law, or any profession which has moral authority. While his judgment is by no means infallible, he is clever, quick to learn, and willing to admit when he is wrong. I expect a joyous and supportive union between you two. 

I hope you enjoyed your reading! Feedback always appreciated 🍑

Sure thing!

1. What will HY’s next love life be like?

Before I even pulled any cards, a few things/words popped into my head: romance, comedy, a sunset. Let’s see how this works in context of your reading!

I pulled three cards, all upright: Ace of Swords, Judgment, Four of Pentacles

Well, if you’ve ever felt unlucky in love or if any past relationships left you with lingering unhappiness, this next relationship will clear all of that negative energy out. It will be powerful, it will be a new start, it will bring positivity and abundance into your life. With the Four of Pentacles, I see reinforcement of the idea that, in order to bring in this new love life, it’s time to let go of the past. Be ready for good things to come!

2. What personality will this person (HY’s next romantic partner) have?

I’m feeling called to do a stichomancy! Not sure why, maybe because I just want more practice, but as you didn’t specify what type of reading you wanted, I hope this is okay!

I used All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr. From page 86:

“Light, electricity, ether. Space, time, mass […] Open your eyes, the Frenchman on the radio used to say, and see what you can with them before they close forever.”

Wow, this is beautiful. This person has a fascination with life and nature, the way it works, what makes it all tick. They’re someone who will keep surprising you, in a good way, and make you see things in a way you never thought possible before. This person is vivid, bright, and wants to make the most of their time on Earth. Very intelligent, quite serene. They have a wonderful laugh.

I must say, I’m quite jealous haha! I hope you find this helpful! Feedback always appreciated 🍑

Hello! Sure thing.

1. What will my future spouse’s personality be like?

“I knew now why her face was familiar — its pleasing contemptuous expression had looked out at me from many rotogravure pictures of the sporting life at Asherville […] I had heard some story of her too, a critical, unpleasant story…”

- The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, page 18

At first, your future spouse comes off as reserved, perhaps even detached. They may be popular or controversial among their social circle, and so their reputation precedes them. Like Jordan Baker, the character described in the quote, they are attractive, composed, and pragmatic, someone who follows the beat of their own drum. I get the sense that you may not be too interested in them at first, but as you get past the surface, you realize there is much more to them than initially expected. They try new things without fear and will keep you grounded.

2. How will our marriage be?

“…all these official people who suddenly filled it […] his protest continued in my brain: ‘Look here, old sport, you’ve got to get somebody for me. You’ve got to try hard. I can’t go through this alone.’“

- The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, page 165

You will never be lonely with this person by your side. I sense that you and your spouse will have a lot of people in your life, some who truly care for you and some who don’t. Whenever you face struggle, or whenever you feel alone, this person will do everything they can to make sure your wishes are fulfilled. Your marriage will be one of sincerity, respect, & companionship.

I hope you enjoyed your reading! Feedback is always appreciated 🍑

Oh man, I’m a writer too so I feel your pain, hopefully this helps & if you need anyone to bounce ideas off of, feel free to message me! 

Choruses From The Rock, VII - T.S Eliot: “Yet always struggling, always reaffirming, always resuming theirmarch on the way that was lit by the light;Often halting, loitering, straying, delaying, returning, yet followingno other way.But it seems that something has happened that has never happenedbefore: though we know not just when, or why, orhow, or where.” 

- The novel is a struggle for you yet you keep returning to it and restarting it, keep persevering with it. Take a break from it if you need to, take your time but don’t give up on it it, maybe try some of your other ideas and one of them will work out eventually. 

So the actual question is kind of a yes/no question so I did a quick D20 roll to get an answer and came up with 15 - yes and for some more in depth advice on the situation a stichomancy reading using The Rainbow : 

- “Tout ce qui n'est pas donné est perdu.” I said, butchering the French. “All that is not given is lost.” 

If you really feel like these things are right for you then go for it, the potential for a successful career or love life with that person will be lost if you don’t pursue it at all. Obviously, I’m just an amateur and could be totally off, so take the advice with a pinch of salt, but if you really feel like these things are right for you, if you really feel like these things are The One, then go for it, you’ll never know if you don’t try. 

 1. “Let the flesh instruct the mind.”2. “if the world were reduced to one empty cell and one fragile candle, I can’t help but see you studying that candle, absorbed in the flicker of it’s light...” 

Try not to focus too much on one subject and let the others fall behind but also don’t overwhelm yourself and remember it’s okay to take breaks if you need them, chances are if you put too much pressure on yourself the stress will make concentrating and sleeping harder.
