Card: 12 Sacrifice, Reversed. (Sacred Circle) We have been doing a lot of giving for others all week, and our lives are feeling stagnant. This card is telling us that we are desperately in need of getting rid of a lot of useless junk! And that is on all levels. We need to let go of outdated attitudes, situations, friendships, or relationships. Don't do anything hasty -- think it through. Be aware that giving something up that no longer works for us will open our lives to something even more positive than what we let go of. This card encourages us not to fight change, because one is coming...
8 of Cups (Tarot of Pagan Cats) "Leaving something behind to search for something else." On this Full Moon and Saturn Day, it is a purrfect time for re-evaluation. This card often means that we will choose to leave a situation that is no longer working for us - whether that's a relationship, a job, or our home. There may be some sadness involved, but in general, this separation is in our best interest. We should know that renewed good times lie ahead for us. We could be tired, feeling drained, depleted and emotionally ripped off as a result of filling other peoples needs and wants to the exclusion of our own. We may need some time alone, to retreat and heal ourselves....and we should take it! We will find depth and wisdom in solitude, and in listening to the still, small voice inside. Have a Blessed Full Moon!
6 of Discs, Bounty. (Sacred Circle) Stop worrying! Things are going to get better, especially in money matters. This card tells us that we could benefit from someone else's generosity ~ whether it is money, an award or just some good advice. This could put us on firmer footing and restore our faith in ourselves. But we need to remember that when we have been helped by the generosity of another, then in turn we should be generous with our own time and advice when someone else needs it. Remember, what goes around, comes around.
5 of Swords, Reversed. (Quick and Easy) We seem to be under stress, and coupled with Mercury Retrograde, it is no surprise! This card indicates that the problems and failures we are encountering are caused by our indecisiveness because we are afraid to act. We may have fallen into the habit of expecting bad things to happen, and they do! One of the most basic personal and spiritual lessons is that negativity attracts negativity. If we think positively, we can begin to change things. Only when we take responsibility for what happens to us, stop blaming others and other things for our failures, can we begin to make the new life we want. We should consider our priorities and the things that matter most to us, while being as pleasant to others as we can.
Queen of Wands. (Mythic Tarot) This card depicts Queen Penelope. Odysseus, her husband, embarked for the Trojan War with the other Greek princes. She was a bad ass woman that was left to tend to the island kingdom, and the only help she had was her young son, Telemachus. Of course, all the guys in the kingdom wanted to court her and take over that throne, believing Odysseus to be dead. And you know that they were conspiring to kill the son! But she listened to her intuition and her heart and believed her husband to still be alive. They continued to pressure her while hanging out in the palace, eating her food, drinking the wine, and making time with the staff. She told them she couldn't make a decision until after she had woven her father in law's death shroud. She worked on it for three years, weaving by day and unraveling her work at night, until they caught on to her. Odysseus returned home after ten years, reunited with his wife, and kicked the people out of his palace. This figure for the Queen of Wands is industrious, creative, versatile, strong-willed and talented. It is time for us to develop our qualities of warmth, loyalty and creative sustaining of a vision. The Queen teaches us that we can't let things get us down - trying to stay upbeat and cheerful helps - so does looking for the positive in situations. Shake off the blues! Be inspired by the Queen in whatever form she takes in our lives. Let your Spirit soar!
The Magician. This Major Arcana Card indicates the power of manifestation. The Magician also represents the coming together of positive and negative energy. He creates and nourishes. Also he has the power to destroy as well as redeem. The Magicians real power is his intuition. Knowing what to do as well as how and when to do it. This Major Arcana Card reminds us that by just wishing for something will get you absolutely no where and nothing will change unless you take action. However once you decide you can change whatever it is you want to change, then you take that action and manifest that desired change." A desire to create is nothing without an ability to create, and vice-verse." The Magicians authentic power is that he knows what he must do, but he also knows how he must do it, and why he must do it. Then he does it. He reminds us that just wishing alone will not change anything, but a conscious decision can change everything. A desire to create is nothing without taking some much needed action for your desired outcome. As Rider Waite puts it " The message of the Magician is a simple one despite his limitless and infinitely complex power. Your life is under your control. Your life is what you want it to be. Your life is what you make it. " So simple and yet sometimes a challenge for some of us that just need to get out of our own way.
Justice. (Mythic Tarot) Here we meet Athena, goddess of Justice. Zeus' favorite child was a strategist, instead of a brute fighter. She balanced Ares' physical aggression and force with logic, diplomacy, and cleverness. The protection she offered always consisted of weapons which had to be used with intelligence, foresight and planning. She teaches us how to think clearly and make judgements impartially and with a balanced mind. All events and all people are connected; and this card shows a need for fairness, balance, and harmony. This includes in how we think about and treat ourselves. Balance is the theme, and working on keeping the proper perspective about life will help us to stay centered. Justice represents our understanding of that vision and understanding lies in accepting the responsibility for that life. Ask questions! Seek answers to the mysteries that are being revealed and show awareness of the process which is taking place and willingness to move forward.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
