The hum of a lullaby drifted softly upon the gentle winds that rolled through a temporary settlement just outside the city proper. The Romani were established there for only as long as they were welcome and would be moving along in the coming months. For now, it is a blessing to be still. Thought the source of the humming, a woman of dark complexion, who was curled up among silk pillows and the lavish comforts of her personal caravan. From in between her forearms the stirring of a soft bundle was cradled, the babe lifting her head as a tiny maw parted in a yawn. The enchanting melody continued, soothing the pup back to sleep and the new mother nestled her muzzle close to her.
Moon withdrew her head and looked upon the child that should have never existed with admiration feeling what she always felt when she looked upon her daughter. A profound love that filled her within and without with its magic. She smiled to herself, allowing the little one to find deeper sleep before she dared move her an inch, if only to retrieve her Tarot cards. What sort of life might you have, I wonder? She asked herself as her paws moved gently over her divination tool to set the intention. What she truly wished to know for each card she drew was...Who will she be? What will she face? How will she overcome it? She all three cards face down in front of her and began to turn them over one by one.
The first card was The Hanged Man and it sat in the Inversed position. The mother hummed, intrigued by what she revealed. Vesper wriggled restlessly for a moment, chirping softly until Moon began to soothe her with her voice, telling her of her fortune. “My daughter...you are all encompassing future...your life will bring about the end of old ways and the dawn of a new era. You shall be the pioneer of a new age...though you will be expected, one day, to sacrifice something in order to pursue your wildest dreams..." She touched a nose to the pups forehead and whispered. “Despite what struggle you may face with your own indecision, know that I will support you in all your endeavors...no matter how far they may take you from me."
The second card she turned over, coming face to face with Two Of Cups also in the Inversed position. “Mmm...Vesper, your emotions will take the reigns in your life. What a beautiful strength that is. You must always trust how you feel...that intuition of yours is powerful, you will simply have to discover this for yourself. You will face your own struggles that run deeply in your heart of hearts, but my darling, you will never be alone. You have an entire community of chosen family that will lift you up and when you feel a sense of disconnection...when you feel unworthy...remember that it is simply that...a momentary feeling...you are an incredible being. I promise to teach you how to tell yourself all of the most wonderful things every day so that you might never forget it."
Moon slowly turned the last card and revealed Seven of Pentacles in the Upright position. This immediately brightened the mystic's expression and she gave a few affectionate licks over the infant's head. “Follow your heart in all you seek to accomplish, see everything through to fruition, sweet one, and you will find reward in all areas of your life. Stay true to yourself, star child, even through your darkest of days and you will be pleasantly surprised with what awaits you on the other side of those obstacles." Moon's tail swished behind her as she settled contently into the overall encompassing message of the reading. What an extraordinary life awaited the precious newborn cradled in her arms. “I cannot wait to watch you grow and spread your wings, my beloved Vesper..."
