The first reading with the deck

A quick post, as we are about to meet with a Belarusian artist who does interesting, challenging work, but I asked the deck what it wanted to tell me about itself and the answer (three card spread was): Four of Wands Five of Wands Two of Cups I think that just about sums up the story of the making. It is our big step in establishing our studio independently - of doing what we really want, albeit risky. It has been a struggle - we have had two serious incidents during the making of the deck - the guy attempting to get us to sign away our ownership of the images, and the crazy "web stalker" person who made it their business to send nasty threatening email, more conflict than I would ever have expected over what is essentially a very gentle and almost airy piece of work. But, we got through all and reached the point of happily celebrating by, as we always say, "sticking together". It's the strongest of collaborations. Salut to that! A nice, concise and happy reading, and a satisfying story of the deck.
