I recently discovered Publii so I'd just been trying to design a cute theme to use for the other blog. I just wanna blog, ya know? I don't really want to deal with HTML.

I GUESS I could link it here although, I don't really want to. Maybe it could be a scavenging hunt... scavenging hunt??? Scavenge hunt?? Hunting for scavenge?? SCAVENGER HUNT! Yeah, scavenger hunt. Feeling like a brainlet right now.

Wow, that doesn't look like a word anymore, 'scavenge'.

Let's do an Aurelia reading...

What should whoever is reading this post need to know?

Five of Coins... hmmm...

Okay, well, the image for my deck is The Little Match Girl. It's winter, she's cold and wearing rags, and sitting outside a church with a lit match in her hands...

On the ground next to her are other matches that haven't lit up. But the one she's holding is lit.

Whoever is reading this... you feel like you're alone in the world. You're also probably financially dependent or living paycheck to paycheck and grasping at straws. I don't know why but I'm also getting thoughts of a lack of a mother or motherly/nurturing figure in your life. Things you've tried in the past feel like they haven't worked out and it seems you have a hard time asking for help.

I keep focusing on the lit match which feels like it's hope and gratitude. She's grateful that she has this one lit match in her hands keeping her warm after trying so many times.

I guess Aurelia's message for this person or anyone who's currently struggling is to focus on gratitude and what HAS been going right in their life. Eventually, the positives will outweigh the negatives.

I hope that was helpful. 💛

To be honest, I'm excited to have a corner to call my own. Well... I guess I gotta share it with my tarot deck, Aurelia.

I'm watching an episode of The Good Place as I'm typing this. I've watched this show so many times and I still haven't gotten tired of it. I love having it in the background. Also, The Office.

They're just cozy, you know?

That reminds me, note to self: change my password on The Archive. What those hackers did -- rude. Opposite of cozy.

I'll ask for Aurelia's thoughts... What was the point of hacking The Archive? ✨shuffle✨shuffle✨

Oh, two cards fell out. She's feeling chatty today. 😆

Eight of Wands (reversed) and Ten of Swords.

It's strange because.. okay.. let me get my thoughts together.. the image for the Eight of Wands in this deck is a bird with a torch. And depending on my current mindset, it's either flying with or away from the wands. Right now, while it's reversed, it feels like the birdie is trying to dodge the staves thrown at it. The Ten of Swords in this deck looks scary. There's a person in a boat holding a weapon and another person in the water with their fingers missing. Lots of blood in the water.

So, intuitively, I think Aurelia's trying to say...

Those hackers were trying to work against something to cause tragedy and betrayal?

I'm unsure about this one. I shall look at my notes... please wait here...

Okay, so reversed Eight of Wands means something like impatience and impulsiveness. Whereas the Ten of Swords means betrayal and major disaster or crisis.

I guess they hadn't really thought about what they were doing. They were frustrated with the lack of change and decided they'd want to send a message. But this message, instead of being profound, was seen as impulsive and lacking planning.

Interesting. But still. Rude.

I'll do research on this event after taking a nap. 💤

I've decided my first post will be an About kinda post. I had been watching YouTube videos talking about how we should own something on the internet that isn't just a social media account.

I then remembered that Neocities exists. And while we really can't own our websites until we self-host, I thought this was the next best thing.

I also wanted to work on my intuitive tarot reading skills. So... here I am documenting my adventures. I also spent a few days learning JavaScript syntax so that was also fun. I still prefer Python and Lua.

Yep...

I know this page doesn't really have other pages. I'm too lazy to maintain multiple pages. I'd rather dump everything into one big ol' page. I'm sorry to the future you who'll be scrolling forever through lots of posts with no end in sight. 🤣

I guess I'll introduce my tarot deck I've named Aurelia. She's the Tarot of the Divine deck by Yoshi Yoshitani.

Let's get her thoughts on this journey we've started...

Oh, Two of Cups. Cute~

...Omg, so tempted to read my notes--NO. I said I'd do this intuitively. Okay.

Hmmms... I guess this'll be a bonding experience. 😂
