Stark Raven
Yesterday morning I had some things to attend to online. I was really focusing on what I was working on, simultaneously sipping my blacker than black coffee. I had noticed that the coffee tasted awful but didn't pay any attention as we have hard water, some days it tastes kind of weird, no biggie. Anyway, finally I look down, there's my RWS pocket size trimmed 7 of Pentacles about 7/8s submerged. Hmpff. Not impressed. That's a deck I worked hard on to get it just right. That darned 7 of Pentacles, that's the third time something came up that caused that card to need a major overhaul, and here we go again.
Well then I knew why the coffee tasted so weird. The last time I had to work on that card I sealed it by spraying it with aerosol hairspray a few times; then I coated it with fanning powder. Anyway, this time I rinsed it thoroughly then damped it off between paper towels; repainted the front of it to give it a fresher look, then sealed it again with hairspray and fanning powder. The back I decided not to touch, it is now, consequently, browner than the rest. So the question I have for you is this - what are your strange Tarot stories that come to mind when I relate this tale of woe? Are there any cards in any decks that keep begging you for attention? Have you ever drank a Tarot card?
