Guanyin Oracle
Two cards to explore duality and set the tone for work.
27. Sisters of the Star Blossoms – know when to engage group energy and when to remain solo
Interpretation: Affirms that writing retreat and defending my time is a good choice.
Wild Unknown Archetypes
Three cards to set tone of prose.
25. The Healer – both me as writer but also Ahosabai as character
42. The Empty Room – the Grotto; absence; the void; possibility; creation
Interpretation: This may be a book about genocide, assimilation, and cultural loss, but it’s also a story driven by hope and healing, by compassion. Seeing the cards made me tear up; it was an affirmation that even if I don’t feel like I’m ready, I can do this.
