Ever since I was a child I believed in duality. One cannot exist without the other and together, they are balanced. It’s translated into my belief system rather well. There wouldn’t  be humans without, essentially, a male and female aspect joining in creation…After all we are grains of sand in the hourglass of the Universe.

Rambling: Death’s in my Shadow [TW: Depression]

I’m getting tired of watching it take those I love from me. Especially the only man in my life that I have ever completely trusted. And for me, that’s monumental because I really don’t trust anyone. 

Ever.

So…What am I supposed to do with my grief and depression?

I can’t channel it into my job because I work in retail for a large company that sell crap goods. I can’t even hold a pen to paper to write my thoughts down without my hand shaking and my tears blurring the pages. My laptop is dead, completely fried and I’m unsure of as to when I’ll be getting another. 

I am filled with this heartache and sorrow…And longing. 

Where should I put it? Is there a place for it? How do I get rid of it?

More importantly, how do I learn to trust someone else just as much without having to fear their death? 

And…How can I get to sleep at night without crying? 

After all, it’s been over a year since he died and the pain hasn’t stopped in my chest. Neither have my tears when I think of him…

Methods of Divination/Reading/Universal Guidance

I may or may not have a minor obsession with divination tools/methods. 

I used to divine with a deck of playing cards for a long time, mostly in secret and just for myself. This happened on and off from the age of ten or so until I was a Sophomore in high school.

In high school, I bought my first legit tarot deck. This deck: 

It catered to all my gothy tastes, I loved the artwork and it’s simply a joy to handle. In fact, it’s my reliable and standby deck. I use it when the rest are being unruly and rather vague. I’ve managed to keep it in good shape for the better part of a decade and I’m proud of that. 

Around my senior year (2005-06) my mother gifted me with a brass pendulum and a few cheesy charts to go with it.: 

I found the charts to be utter garbage and the pendulum gives me shit when I use them.  So, I tend to stick to straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions.  My birthday rolled around in October and I got the chance to get my hands on this: 

It’s really rather useless and pointless for me to try this out by myself. So far, no one has been brave enough to do it with me. Stupid urban myths and utter shit PR. So, it’s been cleansed since I bought it and retains space in my closet until someone else is brave enough to do this with me. After high school, I spent a lot of time just reading for close friends or myself with my vampire deck. 

However in the past year I’ve bought these: 

Now, the two decks are Luis Royo because I’ve always loved his art. His mixture of beauty and the beast-esque elements. Monsters and maidens. Science Fiction and historically inaccurate bits. I just love all of it.

The I-Ching deck has been used for my friends calling on the fly and needing some nudge in the right direction or quick assessment. The Labyrinth deck hasn’t been used for a reading yet, mostly since I haven’t gotten to really shuffle it and imprint on it. Though, I do have the accompanying book and have done some reading and trying to simplify some of what Royo is attaching to the images on his cards. The obsidian rune stones are store bought ( I know most people make their own but, this resonated with me the moment I walked by it.) and that being said, I’ve only jingled them around and tried to acquaint myself with their energies.

So, in a nutshell, these are my tools of the trade, so far. I’ve got a serious coveting for other decks and things…But, I’m broke, so, they must wait.
