She masterly took the cards and put them in front of him.
She explained her process: She would pray to the god of the supplicant and wear stones of energy to enhance her intuition. She reads their energy, using all the senses but relying on the scent as well.
He comes with questions about the past.
The Star
Your birth gives luck to your family, brining light and hope to them.
You are a source of joy them.
They had been praying for you to come about, thinking of you as a miracle baby. Because of that you are expected to elevate the standing of your family.
VI of Swords
Your family traveled a lot. They also had a proclivity to lands. This meant that there was an exposure to different cultures showing that you are well educated, though that also means your mentality is undisciplined.
III of Cups

Growing up you had no problems, everything is in harmony and mostly positive.
V of Pentacles

II of Swords
You have to make the difficult decisions. Make a list of pros and cons and see who benefits. You are emotionally attached to one of the decisions that you can’t seem to let go. You must step back and look at the bigger picture. You are confused, but you must bear the whole burden that your decisions necessitate.
X of Pentacles
Things will be okay if you make the decision you want to make.
Things will be okay.
The woman revealed her face beneath the hood. It was a creature, half black and half white. She let out her hand and nodded.
You have received my wisdom.
Let us hope you fare better than the last.
