I was going to do a three-card spread tonight, but then I ended up dicking around and wasting time, so... one-card it is.

Pacific Arcana deck, Seven of Wands, "Valor". Upright. [Card art]

I've decided that when it comes to this deck, I'll stick to the book, and to my own impressions, and not worry about how the specific cards might be traditionally read. Because there are some similarities, but probably also some differences, since it's based on Thoth system rather than Rider-Waite. So... let's go with that.

Key points are: strength, steadfastness, spiritual strength taken from within in spite of hardships, etc.

Anyway. If I were the kind to think that these cards predict things, I'd probably assume this one meant "you are in for a whole lot of brain-related bullshit, but you'll come out on top in the end".

To be honest, I have been dealing with brain-related bullshit lately, so that's just fine and dandy. But, I'm able to pull through this. And that's what this card is reminding me of. But there's something I shouldn't forget: I'm, uh. Going to need a bit of valor and strength and so on if I'm going to pull through. Nothing comes to pass without effort. And in order to defeat all those monsters, I'm going to need to put in the effort.

Sigh. That doesn't come easily, especially since some days it's difficult enough just to get out of bed. But, I know I need to do this. And I know that I can do this. So, I will do it.
