Although it was not the most flashy attraction in the carnival grounds, the humble tent of Io the Oracle never failed to draw a crowd past its dark veils. Wispy strands of incense smoke and the comforting warmth of burning candles were the first to greet the curious bunch, but their excited mumbles fell into a sudden hush as the owner made his debut.
Flowing robes draped over the young man as he nodded calmly, gesturing for everyone to sit with him, “My name is Io, and I know who each of you are, and why you are here…” As he spoke, he pulled out a deck of tarot cards from his large sleeve, spreading them across the table before him, “It varies between you… Some seek answers, some seek entertainment. One of you is here because you took a wrong turn on your way to concessions and are too embarrassed to leave now,” he smiled faintly, holding his hand towards the exit, “We won’t keep you here longer, it’s alright.”
As the patron scurried out, Io returned his attention to the crowd before him, “What I offer you here is no mere reading. Instead, I would like to teach you about divination, and help you find your own destiny, free of charge…” Reaching out, he ran the tips of his fingers over the crystal ball before him, “Of course, I also offer personal readings for a small fee, if that is what you desire. But that is for another time. Let us begin, shall we?”

TODAY'S READING: TAROT
Shuffling his cards in his bandaged hands, Io nodded to the crowd once more, "I know many of you are aware of tarot cards, but today we will be taking a small look into how they work..." He spread 22 cards across the table, allowing the visitors to peer down at their faces, "This is the Major Arcana. For simplicity's sake, we will only be focused on them. As well, we would usually draw multiple cards, but let's start with one for now. You are, however, encouraged to draw again should you so desire."
Scooping them carefully into his hands once more, he shuffled the cards, before suddenly stopping as if something were on his mind. After a moment of pause, he lifted his head towards the crowd, "Tomorrow... You need not come here, there will be no reading. Instead, we'll be having a special show in celebration of the Reaping Ritual. You're all invited to join us, Trick and Treat have been eager for the exchange." He smiled weakly, "It will be a show to remember..."
He placed the cards face down onto the table, "For now, let's see what the cards have to say..."

“We are the children of the stars…” Io speaks softly, holding his hands together, “We are born of their very dust, beneath their watchful gaze. They advise us, they guide us… But do you know how to hear their calling voices?”
Io pulls back for a moment, before gracefully unfurling a giant star map across his table, “Let us begin by identifying who your guardians are, and what it means to be their child. We will also explore what they say is in store for you next month.”

When night descends upon the realm, stars come out to play. Day dawns and darkness falls. It is a cycle that has been taken for granted since time immemorial. Why does it happen?

The Albino Raven made its home where snow fell. It would often watch as humans toiled against one another in the lands below. They would fight and argue, and bandits would lay waste to their efforts.

Our nests can rise in peace, and our patience will be rewarded by the riches left in their wake."

BEFORE FORSAKEN ERMINE JOINED THE STARS
The white stoat was set down and told to wait, and so it did. Seconds turned to minutes and then to hours, but it knew no concept of time. It just knew it had to be good, had to sit and wait. The sun shone, the rain poured, the snow raged, and still it waited. The Forsaken Ermine was so weak by the time it was retrieved, but to its new master went its complete trust, and so was life renewed.

The water horse would appear to those who peered within the lake, content to drag beholders down into the abyss. They would stand by the shore and gaze down at their reflection, but tranquility would not last.

They would always visit the lake to drown, but the kelpie wouldn't let them, and they found new life on the other side of the lake within the moor.

A great raging fire is being lit within you, but be wary not to let it burn you. Despite your better judgement, you will be spurred on to lash out in an attempt to protect yourself.

The hunters did not return, and neither did the humans live long without the Mourning Siren's song.

The Forest Monarch ruled the land with a charming smile, and a graceful leap. It was hailed as the most beautiful creature in the forest, and all life sang its praise. But with unending adulation came suspicion, and ultimately... boredom. The crowned stag desired a true friend to break the monotony, to give it the meaningful link it secretly needed. But the crowd was always gathered 'round, cheers blocking out the voices that would actually matter if The Forest Monarch only stopped to listen.

TODAY'S READING: PALMISTRY
"The future is a very cosmic and enigmatic force," Io speaks calmly as he sits before his gathering audience once again, "We seek it to prepare ourselves, to comfort ourselves, or in hopes of changing it. Some forms of reading may aid you in this but today, we will be looking into the prophecies that defined us from birth. Unfortunately, these aren't so easily broken."
Io slides back his long sleeves as he holds his hands out to the audience, "If you can, look down to your palm. There are many truths about your life imprinted in it that, unfortunately, I will be unable to help you read today..." He gave the crowd a very faint smile, tugging slightly at the bandages around his eyes, "However, I could give you a lesson in how you could read your own palm... For simplicity's sake, we will be focusing only on your fingers today."
Io pauses, giving a knowing smile, "You may notice, some of these prints contradict each other, yet you possess both. My teaching today is merely a simplified version, as there are many variables when it comes to palm reading.
As such, if you come across this, consider yourself either a complex individual with different layers, or that only a part of the interpretation applies to you. Now, let us begin..."
THE WHORL Governed by: Air Meaning: You are a nonconformist, choosing to discard the expectations of society in order to live as an individual. You find a sense of comfort in your fixed sense of likes and dislikes, and are unlikely to explore other styles of fashion or experiment with unknown foods. You are prone to nervousness, which may affect your heart or stomach. If this patterns appears on the thumb, you may be a very stubborn person who will not concede during an argument, even if you have been proven wrong. You hold onto secrets well, but you should find an outlet such as writing, art, or a journal, as they will eat away at you.
THE LOOP Governed by: Water Meaning: A very common pattern, it means you are a child of the moon. You are somebody who handles change well, and are able to show adaptability and versatility under most circumstances. If this pattern reoccurs on your fingers, it shows you have very broad horizons and are an open-minded individual. You are also very responsive to the emotions of others, while also being very open with your own. This may lead you to altruistic endeavors, but be wary. You have a tendency to act as a people-pleaser, which may lead to your own self-sacrifice or attracting others who may want to take advantage of your kindness.
THE DOUBLE LOOP Governed by: Water Meaning: You are a very indecisive individual, and will spend hours, even days weighing a problem before you can land on a decision. However, this also shows that you are very practically minded, and can be trusted to discover the best solution. Be careful this mindset does not lead you down the path of negativity, as you are very rigid and inflexible once your mind is made up. This can lead to repression, critical opinions, and even resentment. Take care of your mind and health. If you feel behind in life, don't fret, as it is common for those with this print to be late bloomers. You'll get there.
THE ARCH Governed by: Earth Meaning: You have a very loyal heart, and dedicate yourself fully to those you love. Your family and community feel a strong sense of security when around you, and you are capable of great things in order to help others. You exhibit a sense of practicality and prefer to take on a hands on approach to problems. You are very resilient and steadfast, which may lead to an aversion to change or skepticism. You should spend more time in nature, as it will help revitalize you. Be wary, however, of stomach or blood diseases, as they are attracted to this pattern. You should also stop holding onto your emotions alone.
THE TENTED ARCH Governed by: Fire Meaning: This pattern is the most rare of all, usually only showing on the index finger. You have an artistic soul, idealistic in all things, yet sensitive to stimuli. You also show many impulsive behaviors, which may either lead to adventure or danger. You have a very sensitive heart and do not handle emotions well, as they may give way to instability or a nervous disorder. Seek out peaceful surroundings to soothe your high-strung nature. If you are feeling restless or directionless, it is because you are holding onto an intense energy that needs a release. Follow your passions, they will lead you to success and happiness.
THE PEACOCK'S EYE Governed by: Water and Air Meaning: This is a very rare print, and those who bear it possess a powerful degree of perception and intuition. You have been blessed with a naturally strong sense of luck, and its appearance on the Sun Finger (your 'ring' finger) offers protection against accidental death. You are prone to being lost in your daydreams, which may cause you to miss out on the joys or demands of the waking world. You also have a slightly secretive nature, which may make it difficult for you to connect to others or express yourself. Find an alternative outlet, as you have something in you that should be heard.
TODAY'S READING: ONOMANCY
"Whether given or chosen, our names hold great meaning. They are what we govern our lives under, are referred to by those we love, and use to identify who we are as a self. You may already know that your name has another meaning... But today we will be delving deeper than that. Today, we will see what meaning the letters of your name build. Choose whichever name holds most meaning for you, your own, a nickname, a pseudonym... They all have significance, as long as they are a name you hold dear and wish to live by."
Io opens a large book as he nods for everyone to gather, "Each letter of that name holds a meaning. The more that letter occurs in your name, the more influence and power it holds."
A: Use the fire in your heart to help overcome your naturally shy and wary tendencies, and pursue any activities you feel drawn to. Trust in your instincts, and follow your passions. Although you will be tempted to quit at the roadblocks in life, your inner fortitude will help you overcome any obstacle. You will be rewarded with success and fulfillment for your dedication. You also have a naturally volatile nature, so be sure to avoid situations that may flare your anxiety or temperament. It may cause harm to yourself or those you love if kept unchecked. When faced will illness or personal struggle, you will find a quick recovery.
B: You were born a natural leader, but to reap the benefits of this trait you will need to be careful to practice honesty, integrity, and thoughtfulness. Others look to you, but be wary of your actions, as you are prone to show carelessness in your words or stubbornness when faced with difficulty. However, this stubbornness may also lead you to overcome the obstacles in your life, as you are a powerful problem-solver and highly adaptable. Practice mindfulness in situations of charity, as you are very giving and others seek to take advantage of that. If your heart tugs you toward artistic pursuits, follow the calling.
C: Ignore the call of your intuition in all situations you encounter in life. You have a naturally impulsive nature which leads you to act without thinking, and this will continue to draw you into the trap of danger. Do not ignore the words of your common sense, you will find greater success in all things when you take the time to listen. You are highly intelligent, trust in your ability to thoughtfully solve problems. You are a person of deep understanding, especially when it comes to humanity, both on a personal and a societal level. However, this may lead you to be drawn into situations you shouldn't involve yourself in, or prolonged conversation.
D: There is a power that brews within you that affords you a brave nature, but it may also lead you to trouble. Even if you do not fear them, avoid fights or physical confrontation. Others look to you for your wise judgement, and you are excellent at weighing priorities. Show patience in all things. The future holds great success for you, let nothing discourage you or sabotage your efforts, even if your heart tells you otherwise. The voices that speak to you of personal doubt or inferiority only mean to hold you back, do not give into the temptation. Also be wary of your naturally blunt tone and attitude, it may also get you into trouble or unintentionally cause pain to another.
E: You are your own worst enemy, so special care must be taken lest you sabotage your own ambition and happiness in this life.

TODAY'S READING: ASTRAGALOMANCY
"You have something weighing on your mind. I've decided today to teach you a way to divine the answer..." Reaching into his flowing coat, Io produced a velvet drawstring bag that rattled as it moved. After loosening the string, he tipped it forward, causing three ornate dice to spill across his table.
"This practice is called astragalomancy, or dice divination. In ancient times, we would be using the knuckle bones of livestock..." The young oracle smiled reassuringly, producing a piece of chalk between his fingers, "Luckily, these days we can easily buy dice as a substitute..."
Leaning over the table, Io carefully drew a perfect circle on the surface of his table, an impressive feat for a man who could not see, "We will try to toss these within the limits of this circle. If they fall outside of it, they present an entirely different meaning. Shall we begin?"
RULES OF THE DICE
• Roll three 7-sided dice using the post action.
• Only proceed with including the dice in your fortune if it lands from 1-6.
• If a die lands on 7, that means your die has fallen outside of the circle and has a separate meaning.
• Add all dice that have landed in the circle together for your fortune.
• If you have both dice in and out of the circle, they are two separate fortunes.
