Tarot and Mirrors Tool

Posted at 8:24 pm MST to Code

This should also be under the Mirrors category.

If you go to the Astral Trading Company website, you can get a reading for the Mirrors using any of the Taget, 10 Gates or Celtic Cross layouts. You can also get a Tarot reading using either the Rider-Waite deck or Nanette's deck, in any of the three layouts.

Be sure to enter your name or a topic in the text box. It will be used in the randomization (i.e. shuffling).

The icons for the tarot cards are placeholders.

I will eventually lay the Crossing cards in the Celtic layout on their sides, but that requires another 160 images for the Mirrors and another 78 images for each Tarot deck, and working on images (even just rotations) kills my mousing hand.

Remembrance Day

This was an important day for my family. My parents were active in the VFW, so every year at this time we had bunches of those little red artificial poppies in the house, waiting to be distributed.

On a more cheerful note, this is also the birthday of my cousin Tom. Our family seems to have a thing about birthdays and holidays: besides Tom, my youngest brother was born on July 4, our father was born on January 6 (Epiphany, Twelfth Night), and both of HIS parents were born at Easter. I think my other brother was aiming for a New Years Day birth, but the doctor made other arrangements.

My 6th grade teacher was Miss Glassbrenner, an old-fashioned lady who had us memorize and recite poems for the different holidays. The only one I can still recite from memory is the one for Veterans Day. When I checked it online just now, I had only one word wrong: I had remembered "blow" in the first line as "grow"...
