My deck is the Elemental Power Deck (you can get details on the deck itself on my site at https://fiction.bykai.com/tarot-prompts). For my draw, I shuffled but did not take any invented draws (I kept them all the correct way up), and each day, I’ll share the meaning of the card at the end of the part, and then collect them in a glossary when the project is complete. These meanings may be the standard meanings, or they may be my understanding of them. If you disagree with a meaning, by all means, let me know, but I am working to the meanings as I understand them to start with, and will not alter the story if my meaning differs dramatically from yours.
I’d already decided, as the set is coins, cups, wands and swords that I’d write a high fantasy novella of sorts, but I’m not sure if that’s all it’s going to be. (in my deck, coins/pentacles are interchangeable. I’ve chosen coins over pentacles for numbered cards, pentacles for named (Page to King), so I could introduce magics as well as other fun. I shuffled several times (every four cards), to be sure of a good mix, and the deck has already been shuffled daily for a week, so, the pattern it drew is not due to poor mixing
The 26 cards I drew are:
The 4 of Cups 2. The Knight of Coins (pentacle) 3. 10 of Coins (week 1) 4. 9 of Coins 5. 8 of Wands 6. 7 of Wands 8. 5 of Wands 9. 4 of Wands 10. Queen of Cups (week 2) 11. Knight of Cups 12. Page of Cups 13. Justice (major) 14. Wheel of Fortune (major) 15. 9 of Wands 16. 8 of Swords 17. The High Priestess (major) (week 1) 18. The Lovers/Twins (major) 19. 8 of Cups 20. Emperor (major) 21. Empress (major) 22. 10 of Swords 23. 9 of Swords 24. Knight of Wands (week 4) 25.Page of Wands 26. The Magician (major)
Hi! Just a quick post cause everything is all go here but I’ll be drawing 26 tarot cards on the 28th or so of March, and they will form the backbone of a 26 part story, that should be mostly contiguous, but we’ll see.
I’m doing several AtoZ’s, this one is also mirroring on Wattpad
I take part in the Blogging from AtoZ Challenge every year. I have several of them that I’m taking part in this year, but the main one, the A to Z of me will introduce a lot of the things that are important to me. Unlike other times I’ve done this challenge, I’m thinking about whether to do short (letter is for) posts as seperate, small entries, or having an overall post and breaking out into it in more detail in the next few weeks and months. Any days that I can’t find something to talk about, I’ll either do a poem, a flash fiction piece, or something else.
I’m not revealing all of my posts right now, but just to give you guys a taster, and whether you’d like to give me some thoughts.
A is for Alt-worlds. B is for Books C is for Cats /CPTSD … M is for Mindfulness/Meditation/Morrigan N O P is for psychosis … ZZZ is for sleep disorders
If I were doing a post on any of the ones that have more than one category, would you prefer, do you think, a different post for each concept, or all in one?
(I’ll touch on being 18 this year in another post!)
I’m going to try – again – to do an AtoZ of mental health, though, I’m hoping to focus more on positives, but I’ll be talking about some serious topics too, like bullying, CPTSD and psychosis. But I’m hoping to touch on some things that are more like…tactics to get through mental health challenges. I’ll hopefully deal with stuff that helps people, but at the end of the day, I think mental health is going to become a topic that we’re more front and centre discussing, just because of what’s going on right now. Finding our new normal is the start – A New Normal will go live on April 1st.
If you’d like to see what else I’m up to, please head on over to Kaiberie.com, and check out the page that lists all the AtoZ challenges for 2021 that I’m doing.
I thought I’d go for an interesting experiment for my AtoZ challenge. The blog is back, and I’m adding content as I go, but there’s 26 things I can talk about the A to Z of my books.
Spoilers ahead
Obviously, the A to Z challenge will contain…mild…spoilers, so I’d like to warn you that it’s a possibility.
A few of the topics
A is for Amara (Snowblind) A is also for Apocalypse B is for Black Monday C is for Challenges D is for Darkness E is for Elliot … (and so on)… It’s not going to be the complete everything of my books, but it’ll be a nice reboot for BooksbyKai and it will be amazing to talk to people about all of my writing stuff. Even if some of it is going to be difficult, but challenges are part of the fun, right?
