( about me )

Over the past few years I've been working on developing my own divination reading technique based around Clow Cards. They're a set of cards with no relation to Tarot or any other divinatory tool however after using them to read for myself and friends I've found that they can give amazing readings and really great guidance. They also allow me to give completely intuitive readings as there are no specific divinatory guidelines set out for using the cards, it lets me keep honing my skills and gives a really unique reading.

What are Clow Cards?

Clow Cards are a set of 52 individual cards that were designed for the CLAMP manga and animé Cardcaptor Sakura, or Cardcaptors in English, so you might recognise them! In the manga they're sometimes used in the place of tarot for divination. Each card has a character, a spirit attached to it that acts in a certain way and has certain strengths and weaknesses. When reading them I take into account the 'nature' of the card which gives clues into the querents personality, strengths, weaknesses and situation. They can be read as a stand alone or in combination with other cards to give a more indepth look into your situation.
They act in much the same way as tarot in that you can ask a question, or for advice in a certain area of your life, and I will read the cards in relation to your query.

My Divination Background
I first started reading Tarot cards when I was 13 years old, starting with the Tarot of the Moon Garden deck. I worked with that deck for around 5 years before starting to work with Clow Cards to form my own technique, which I've been doing now for 4 years. I've also branched out into other tarot decks and as of last year also read runes.

1. Leave me a comment with your question or query on what you would like me to read about. The more detailed you are the more detailed I can be! Include 3 numbers between 1 and 52 in your comment. These will be the cards I read for you.

I'm gearing up for my first Video Blog over at Dear Sweetlings, I'm finally gonna take the plunge and do it since I've been thinking about it for years.

First though I need some questions to answer! So, if you have any questions for me I'd really love if you could leave me a comment with them :) here is fine, or you can do it at my blog (or facebook, tumblr, twitter, formspring, wherever you follow me).

You can ask whatever you fancy, there's no particular theme. Some possibilities could be blogging advice, hair, clothes/style, crafts, my job (acupuncture), books, music or whatever else you like.

Happy Solstice everyone!

I return from the land of foxgloves and the fields of much poo, invigorated and full of faerie spirit ready to consume tea and biscuits.
I had a brilliant time and had so much fun with friends, it was so good to meet lots of lovely folks from livejournal, Monkey, Monsta, Moo, Leroy, Naomi, Bryony, Natalee, glittery kisses to you all and thank you for welcoming me in and making me laugh until my ribs hurt. I got the hang out with lovely Steph, I still can't quite get over the whole weekend!


Welcome to the Faerie Glen
( many more )

I've recently had a massive wardrobe clear out and have listed 18 items on Ebay, I'm really excited to have been able to put some really cute and unique pieces on there! Many of these items are totally one of a kind and I've never found replica's so this is a great chance to snap something up for cheap.

VERY PHOTO HEAVY, 143 PICTURES UNDERNEATH!

( Fairy Bags this way! )

(Hearts would not be included, pictures are just to show the style of bag ^^)

I seemed to get a lot of good reception on my crochet projects, especially for the fairy bags! I was wondering, if I made some NOW, would any of you be interested in buying one?
Please answer the poll!

Poll #1646078 Fairy Bags
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 3

Would you be interested in buying a Fairy Bag?

The ones I am making right now are made out of a lovely purple wool which is 10% Angora so it's fluffy and soft. It also has a new and improved design with a flap that you can button to keep everything safe inside and a loop so you can hang it up!
Contents would be:
1 x bottle of fairy dust (your choice of colour, or default would be purple)
1 x mini scroll
1 x crystal
1 x small candle
1 x small bottle of oil

They would all be themed around purple since that's the colour of the wool.

Right now the price would be between £7 - £10 which covers cost of wool, time spent making the bag as well as all the supplies.

What do you think? Any comments are appreciated on this!

I made a new button for my blog ^^
