Spiral Tarot
I know what this reading is about, the thing is I don't know if I should report on it because the person to which the reading relates may not be happy! But the purpose of this Diary is to think about how the Tarot relates to my life and it will serve no good to ignore or cover anything up. So, here goes....
The' King of Cups', being a court card, tells me this reading relates to somebody else, and that someone is a Publisher who contacted me yesterday to kindly point out that their link credits on my blog weren't where they'd hoped them to be. I think the Publisher is a 'King of Cups' because his position tells me it's his business and he wants it to perform the best that it can, whilst maintaining caring and compassionate business ethics.
'The Ace of Wands' highlights the driving force that wants to ensure that our creative and business endeavours are the best they can be. It also highlights this issue that has arose between us that concerns a link placement that satisfies both me and publisher.
'The Devil' is the card that told me what this reading was about. After I received the email from the publisher, I felt trapped and worried. I thought I had done the best that I could to make sure that the correct copyrights, names and publisher were prominent, so as to promote the Tarots but not to distract from my blog either. My blog wouldn't be much without displaying the beautiful Tarot's I am using and yet I don't want to turn my blog into an advertisement either. I also don't want to upset anyone, or cause an injustice, but to promote their work whilst I carry out mine. But if a publisher is unhappy and withdraws their permission, then my blog is nothing much at all. So it seems my hands are tied and 'The Devil' card is indeed understood.
Anyway those were my thoughts last night. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely grateful that I am able to use so many wonderful Tarot with permission, its just I want to make everyone happy without losing sight of the purpose of my blog.
After a bit of blog tweaking, I wrote back to the Publisher to offer a compromise. I really hope that the Publisher and I can come to a mutual agreement, but I'll have to wait and see. Additionally, 'The Devil' is a major Arcana card which emphasise a bigger theme in my life which in this case, for me, indicates that the future of my blog will always be in the hand of another and perhaps not to collect to many Tarot decks or play on Twitter to much!

Hiya! Actually I never thought about copyrights much because my blog is a non-profit page that only gives my private thoughts about the cards. I use various decks and I think blogs like these could prompt people to buy cards they saw on here and liked, so I never thought I was doing any harm.
