Since I have gotten that oracle (tarot) deck for my birthday I've been doing readings more often. I've got to say..I'm not liking what I'm getting from them. I'm getting that I am headed for a period of darkness and sadness (i.e. depression) but then things turn around for the better around the time of the Spring equinox. Well that isn't much different then any other year. I was just hoping that this year would be different.

However I'm also getting that if I am persistant and dedicated then I can overcome this period of depression. Again that's not news but just a reminder that I can beat it if I want to. I just have to not give in to it.

The group I'm in http://lilacsky.proboards39.com/index.cgi is starting a tarot study so I've joined that. Basically we record our readings in the dedicated "study" thread and give/receive advice or help regarding our interpretations of the cards. I've found that a lot of my time has gone in this group lately. They are a great bunch of people and offer any kind of help they can give. Such as prayers and general support. They just went through a site "face-lift" so everything is real nice now. I helped out a little but she did most of all the work. I just gave my personal opinion and advice regarding the design.

Aside from that and dealing with headaches (due to the weather not wanting to make up it's mind on what it wants to do) I haven't been up to a whole lot. Trying to work in burnings when my hand (and head) feels up it. Cleaning a bit in my room (Christmas presents are taking up half of the room) and playing with the mice and Nakita.
