Tarot

You enter a small, low-roofed tent, pushing aside the strings of beads hanging at the entrance. Inside, the air is warm and thick with the scent of incense. The tent feels roomier than it looked, but you cannot stand straight up. A dark figure sits cross-legged on worn cushions towards the back. You see tendrils of smoke rise from behind the figure and old candles burn low around them. [[Approach]] (set: $showfooter to false)

(set: $name to (prompt: "Your name, please:", "Jo"))$f['A pleasure, $name.'] $f['As for myself, think of me as a portkey... a guiding talisman accompanying you on your journey into the mystic, the celestial wings beneath you on your flight to self realization.'] $f['But if you must, call me Leo.'] $f['Do you wish for a reading?'] [[Yes]] [[No]] [[What's a reading?]]

$f['Welcome...'], a rich, melodic voice speaks in the dimness. $f['I foresaw you would come to me for guidance.'] With an outstretched hand, the figure beckons you to sit opposite them. [[Take a seat->Introduction]]

$f['Splendid.' 'Are you familiar with the process? Or shall I share how our descent into the truth will begin?'] [[Yes, I am familiar]] [[No, please explain]]

Leo gives a short laugh. $f['Probably for the best, that is...'] [[Exit the tent]]

$f['Pray, what are you calling yourself in this incarnation?'] [[Answer->Leo]]

$f['Curious, but hesitant... are we?'] Leo passes you a card from the folds of their robe. It appears to be a business card, and the back side reads: *A Tarot reading can provide guidance around what is happening in your personal orbit: love, money, career, goals, and general life path.* Leo raises an eyebrow inquiringly. [[Sure->Yes]] [[No, thanks->No]]

$f['Today, we will do an anchor or baseline reading. This reading is ideal for clarifying situations and evoking questions. You may find yourself contemplating a particular aspect of your life that the cards are exploring. We will draw ten cards, each of which has a position in the order its drawn. The meaning of the position and the card are combined - for example the first card drawn is your 'current situation' position, which may hold the card 'The Sun,' respresenting courageousness or willingness to mature. At the readings end, our goal is to illuminate the situation or the part of your life you have held in your mind. It is wise not to expect black and white answers.
