strength almost always comes up for nw whenever i ask anything about work! the cards don’t lie and apparently i haven’t integrated that message yet 🙏🏼💙
lol you’re good! i’m always trying to relearn and remember things i’ve forgotten or whatever. live the tarot for that ~ it’s always shifting my perspective somewhat
At the moment, when it comes to my public offerings, I’m just doing the sort of two card spread that inspires an eight line poem that you see above. I don’t have formal meanings for the first or second card pulled. I just rely on intuition in interpreting how they play with/off each other.
In my experience, sometimes they act as counterpoints, or a “yes/no” oracle, and sometimes the second card is just an elaboration on the first, and other times, one card is almost like a signifier and the other is an oracle on this situation.
It’s very loose, but I almost always give four lines of poetry to each card, for 8 total.
Does that help clear things up? If you’d like to email me (which you can do by replying directly to the email notification that a new article has been posted), I can either set you up with MY tarot reader for a longer form reading, or perhaps figure something out between the two of us.
All of that sounds wonderful. A poem is an interesting method of delivery. Channeling inspiration from the creative ether. I've been using apps and asking Chat GPT to interpret my spreads through the kabbalistic tree of life lololol. I'll shoot you an email. I really do dig that phrase, 'liminal trickster mystics' It reminds me of the trickster God's that Joseph Campbell talks about. Anywho, you run an impressive operation! Cheers 🤙
Thanks Jack! I’ve been doing some of the same stuff with GPT—the readings the bot gives are sometimes pretty on point haha!
But yeah, I feel like doing readings with a poem adds an extra element of intuition because the words that suggest themselves to me due to rhyme and meter are sometimes surprisingly relevant to the query.
Could you please confirm if my recollection is accurate? I remember that you used to offer Tarot TikTok readings for approximately $5 in the past. I was wondering if you are still providing that service.
Hey good news! @jt is now adapting the WiggleStick poems to TikTok, and in my honest opinion, they’re coming out WAY better than they were when I was doing it. https://tiktok.com/@creekmasons
That’s me! I used to recommend a donation of $8 to $11 (if people were feeling inspired to gift me back.)
I’ve moved that project here to substack though. It turned out I hated video editing. Plus, TikTok makes you watch videos while yours is uploading (it won’t upload at all if you’re not watching the fyp) and that was having an impact on my mental health, haha.
If you’ve got a question though, fire away! I’d love to write you a poem:)
what can I learn from my past?
Here's your answer Magnolia!

Would it be possible for you to provide me with a menu of your various spreads? I would like to have it for future reference, if that's alright. 🔮✨

Also, I dunno if you’ve seen the essay I coined Liminal Trickster Mystic in but here ya go if not: https://creekmasons.com/media-criticism/liminal-trickster-mystics/
The sign up links there will go to my main substack (“The Creekmasons”—WiggleStick is just a fun little side project).
