I thought some of yall would be interested in my new ink - and ya know, I’m excited so I want to share it with everyone 😂 So the story behind this is that I asked my artist to design me something. He asked what. I said “you’ve known me 35 years. You choose.” So he started drawing. Normally he uses google for references - just to make sure things like trees have the right shape, or some of the more intricate details of things like a pineapple. But he didn’t have any cell service or internet when he drew this. So he drew it 100% out of his head - making it the only Philly 4 fingers (that’s his nickname) 100% original in existence. Then he came up with the idea of runes and told me to choose something. So I did and went to a rune translation site, and cross referenced, to make sure I had it right. It says “wanderer” because I have never felt at home anywhere. I instantly fell in love with the image because 1) shrooms maaaannnn lol 2) she’s foraging for herbs. 3) she’s in the woods where I belong lol 4) I see little red riding hood as a symbol of resilience. Being eaten alive by literal wolves, just to come out the other side (depending on which version you read lol). And if that isn’t a literal representation of my life, nothing is. 5) I also feel like it represents the little girl still broken and hidden (represented by her hidden face) inside me.

I’m using the rws “learning” deck because my normal rws deck is currently being used for something else and I need to keep that one in order haha And I figured using rws was probably the best plan. Anywhos Day 1: I got the Hierophant and as you can tell by the picture, I cannot spell - ignore that 😂 What I noticed was the checkerboard racing stripes on the platform. I feel like they need to have some sort of meaning because aesthetically they are completely out of place lol but I have no idea what it would be. I’ve never seen any definition reference them.
