Tarot and crafting

[flamingsword]

I am now stalled out on both the current projects due to lack of spoons today, so I’m thinking of taking an old unicorn tarot that nobody wants and drawing my own words and such on the cards to create a completely different oracle. I just need some sort of overarching paradigm for it. I have the zen cards which are very “you should meditate about that” and the Future Vision Steven Universe tarot that is “you should do therapy about that”. So I guess I need a “do your self care and community care work” deck.

If the deck is going to be four suits and a major arcana (big if) then the suits would have to be:
Major arcana - infrastructure and anti-capitalism
Coins - community care
Swords - restorative justice
Wands - social justice
Cups - self care
Or those are my current thoughts on how to do this.

What are projects that you have decided against or abandoned this year? Anyone have an egg-on-my-face story?

[Edit to add: I talked myself into it, and now have the We Live In A Society deck of vaguely tarot-ish cards. Now I just need to get used to them.]

I also decided that an AFAB person doing emotional labor for two cis guys was not a great look,

Yeah, this is one of the things I didn’t like about the whole Agender!Female!Captain America thing I was writing, like giving someone a uterus meant I would have to do the socially-mandated thing with that fictional uterus? I don’t even do that with my own uterus! Which is why I just noped out of the whole thing rather than going back and doing a full re-write.
