Woke up this morning, checked my phone, read the message, spotted a Railfence, thought 'Amandel's probably cracked it already', went to get some coffee.

Et Voila! Cool

Will dig a bit deeper when I get to my own internets.

Ahaha @Spoonhead & Hi TBelle! <3 the random sight of a smiley in the morning. Likely the complete "feed" message is in all browsers' source code. Here's a link: http://cardkeepers.wordpress.com/feed/ ETA: Believe the image in your edit is the WP comment avatar.

That's what I figured, but alas: No november entry here.
Could be we've got a quick, attentive and present PM who quickly erased a previous line of thought that wasn't supposed to be in the game? (Or my feed is broken!)

Nope, yesterday there was the quoted post from November. Today only the card.

Also, to go along with the byline of the blog that says, ""…to make an end is to make a beginning…"" Here is a line from the meaning of The Fool:

"The Fool is the cause behind all effects, the power behind all manifestations and the seeds of the end sown in every beginning."

And

"The Fool almost always stands for new beginnings, new experiences and new choices; the first steps along a new path and the first words written onto a blank page. Like the Aces of the Minor Arcana, such beginnings are like the Fool himself - neither positive nor negative, but with the potential to turn into either, depending on the choices you make and the path you follow. But this must not be your concern, because when a journey begins no one can know (or should know) what will happen on the way to the destination."

Hi S.P.I.. Happy that's settled. Very Happy Mentioning that 'Sylvana' means forest or woods just b/c that's an awfully pretty name. ETA: Update on the Card Keepers blog .

New post is up

Part One: The Deck
February 15, 2013

The package sat to the right of her birthday cake. Just a small square wrapped in tissue. She knew from the wrapping paper who it was from, and that there might never be another. She opened it carefully and frowned.

Her mother sipped from her glass of wine. "Why do you suppose he gave you those?"

Anna shrugged.

Later that night she pulled off the cellophane wrapper and opened the cards. There was a handwritten note inside, which she thought was pretty odd for a brand new deck. She didn't recognize the handwriting. Under the note was a little drawing.

.. and you are keeper of The Fool?


They're stressing the need for teamwork, and I'm thinking nothing is gonna happen until we "understand the goals" (seek, gather, puzzle, solve, create, understand, teach). So, how to combine our superpowers?

Yay! I sent an e-mail just now. I, too, adore meaningful names. Knowing Sylvana's meaning, I wonder if the other names have some elemental tie as well. Perhaps Norma refers to normal or a non-elemental type. Then again, I've forgotten the origins of Norma, so I'll have to refresh my memory. I'll see if I can find the other names' meanings and then post them on here.

Hi folks, I got the trailhead, too (and I really wonder where they got my info!). I've sent my response.

I am wondering about these names:

Sivvy? Annes? Those are odd. Confused

I'm pretty busy right now, but I hope to have time to stay involved in this!

I am on my phone so I can't quote my response, but I believe it said

"You will be ready to move on when you catch a star."

The Star I am. Number 17. It is a lovely card Smile
