A NOTE

​

I would like to dedicate this work to my familiar who recently passed away. Jinx was a large part of this work for me and a huge part of my life, and I hope she can gift you the same power and magic that we will always share.

INNERMOST AND MIDDLE SECTION

​

​

There are several things that can influence your fortune and ways you can decipher it. You came to the fortune teller with a thought, worry, problem, or question. The best way to decipher meaning according to the teller, is actually to work from the innermost images to the outermost images. We will start with some of the broader meanings of the four fortunes in the center. The middle images are all gender symbols, as you might’ve guessed. Some are more recognizable than others, but each lends an opportunity to delve deeper into the specifics of your fortune.

​

​

THE FOOT

​

The foot is generally an ambivalent symbol. It’s an essential part of the body, but also a vulnerable place for attack. When considering the meaning of your fortune, it may represent having mixed feelings or contradictory thoughts about something or someone.

​

This is the symbol for Genderfluid individuals. (a gender identity comprised of different gender identities at different times. A genderfluid individual's gender identity could be multiple genders at once and then switch to none at all, or move between single gender identities, or some other combination therein.) Because you chose this symbol, try to keep an open mind about the situation, leaving yourself open to many possibilities allows you to not count something out too early.

​

This is the symbol for Intergender individuals. (a gender identity that is in the middle between the binary genders of female and male, and may be a mix of both.) Because you chose this symbol, maybe the best option is to take a stance, but not either of the ones you would’ve originally chosen. Think very closely about this one.

​

THE HAND

​

The hand has a strong relation to the body. It’s used for action, support, and strength. When considering the meaning of your fortune, it may represent the manifestation of something; a need to take action or will something into the world for yourself.

​

​

This is the symbol for Genderqueer individuals. (an umbrella term that refers both to non-normative gender identity and gender expression. The label may also be used by individuals wishing to identify as holding queer or non-normative gender without being any more specific about the nature of their gender.) Because you chose this symbol, try taking time considering the form of this manifestation, before acting right away. This may mean choosing something more broad as a solution.

​

​

This is the symbol for Polygender individuals. (literally translates to "many genders", and refers to people that experience more than one gender, usually more than three. Polygender people can also fluctuate between genders.) Because you chose this symbol, try to think about this manifestation in terms of abundance. The more action or manifestation, the merrier.

​

THE CAT

​

The cat has associations with the moon and is known as a guardian in many historical traditions. When considering the meaning of your fortune, it may represent a reflection of you--a side of you that is internal and often unseen, but perhaps something that needs to come to light for others or yourself.

​

​

This is the symbol for Agender individuals. (individuals who find that they have no gender identity, although some define this more as having a gender identity that is neutral.) Because you chose this symbol, try focusing on the self. Dig deep to find what this situation could mean for you, even in the deepest reaches of yourself.

​

​

This is the symbol for Transgender individuals. (an umbrella term covering all gender identities or expressions that transgress or transcend society’s rules and concepts of gender. To be trans usually means to identify as a gender other than the gender one was assigned at birth.) Because you chose this symbol, try considering a reflection of you in the light of others. Maybe this issue requires community. Seek like-minded individuals.

​

THE SPIRIT

​

The spirit is rising from the body, restless. When considering the meaning of your fortune, it may represent the seeking of something more. You may want to try looking at a situation in a different way, or from a different angle. Maybe your question needs to take a different form.

​

​

This is the symbol for Neutrois individuals. (an identity involves gender dysphoria and a desire to make a physical transition to a gender-neutral presentation. It is a Non-binary gender identity, and people of any gender assigned at birth can have this identity.) Because you chose this symbol, try considering looking somewhere within yourself that you would hardly consider for this situation. It’s within you, it just needs to be found.

​

​

This is the symbol for Third Gender individuals. (this identity is used for a person who does not identify with either man or woman but identifies with another gender. This gender category is used by societies that recognize three or more genders, both contemporary and historic, and is also a conceptual term meaning different things to different people who use it, as a way to move beyond the gender binary.) Because you chose this symbol, try looking out into the world for an answer. The different direction you are looking for is unknown to you and you need to research to find out more.

​

OUTER SECTION

​

Each of the first images represents an instrument needed to perform a ceremonial magic ritual, or at least make them powerful enough to be effective. All magic users need a basic set of tools to complete a ritual to the best of its potential: the wand, the sword, the cup, and the pentacle. They are known as symbols representing an inherent occult force in you, different aspects of your essence that can help conjure an answer to what you seek. Their associations might help you understand another level of your fortune.

​

​

​

HANDS WITH X AND O

​

This is representative of the wand, which is connected to the element of fire. It represents will, wisdom, and the spiritual presence of your creative self. You may have been drawn to it because of as a fortune could be referencing something upright and mighty, worthy of your divine force. Something that you can use as an extension of your hands.

​

​

HAND WITH KNIFE

​

This is representative of the sword, which is connected to the element of air. It is a symbol for the mind, used for analysis, dissection, and banishing. Locate an object that is made of cold steel, usually hard and sharp, but can also be something in a constant state of motion or flux.

​

​

HAND WITH GLASS

​

This is representative of the cup, which is connected to the element of water. It is passive and receptive, a true symbol of intuition and understanding, awaiting communication with your pure self. Locate an object that bears libations, never before used in an invocation.

​

​

HAND WITH SMALL OBJECTS

​

This is representative of the pentacle, which is connected to the element of earth. It is a synthetic character resuming the laws of magic, a real expression of a complete thought or act of will, and a signature of the mind. Locate an object that is small and a token of the body. Usually round, and made from something that came from the earth.

FINAL OUTCOME

​

As a send-off, I would just like to thank you for participating in my fortune teller-- I hope it helped you in some sort of way, and if not, I hope it was enjoyable. Remember not to destroy your childlike wonder and passion for knowledge and learning about the world. It’s never a bad chance to look introspectively, listen, and consider new information. Trans people are real and deserve power and support.
