Checking In Again...

It's late here in California, but I feel like writing. I've made a few touch-up's to the artwork as well as corrected some indicator placements that did not match an original set (yes, there are two). I've also added some to cards I felt needed more options such as the Ex card.

The manual is coming along nicely. I have inserted images for each card as well as some for example readings. I actually cut the number of indices down to two due to time constraints. With the way things are moving, progress will slow slightly but I don't think it will change the availability date.

I wanted to share an excerpt from the reader's manual here to give those interested a feel for how it will read and what they can expect. The manual covers everything from how to read with the cards to timing methods. Currently it's 89 pages in Word. There will be links to each section and a "back" link at the end of these sections to trail back to the table of contents. This will allow readers to gain easy access to meanings of the cards as they read. I don't think this manual will be available in print for a while, but it will be available in digital format. More info to come on this.

EXCERPT FROM THE PLUTONIAN ORACLE MANUAL:

READING AND WRITING OUT THE READING

A bit similar to the tarot when reversals are read, the Plutonian Oracle has a mode in which cards appear. For example, when the Hidden card comes up inverse it means that whatever is hidden will come to light or be revealed, indicated by the sun glyph appearing upright. The reader may go by its assigned title, "Revealed" placing the mode in parentheses. In the example below, the Hidden and Involvement cards are inverted while the Enemy card is not.

Hidden (revealed) - Involvement (unhappy) - Enemy (hidden) 

As an option, the word "inverse" may be written out to clarify what position the card is in. The example below includes two options in which the syntax may be written:

OPTION #1: Hidden inverse (revealed) - Involvement inverse (unhappy) - Enemy (hidden)

OPTION #2: Hidden (inverse: revealed) - Involvement (inverse: unhappy) - Enemy (hidden)

If an indicator has no name and no sample can be found in this manual or other resource, then the reader is free to appropriately style an indicator name in its place.

For more samples on how to title untitled indicators as well as to learn about the syntax of the oracle, please see Index I, "Sample Readings."
