I work with two Decks that have a very beautiful celtic / irish imaginery and they reveal very much to me and to my, say, clients. The actual reading is a mere process of offering answers and possiblities to those who come to me with questions. I let them get to their decisions by themselves, merely revealing the meaning of the cards.
From a psychological points this works better than any Rorschach cards – and as soon as I hand over the cards / reading / choosing to some one who (claims) to be a medium they are interesting, yet not wholly convincing.

I am more a mystic than a gifted person, so the pendulum would really not help me, once I get into the serious business of getting into contact. I also know no-one whom I’d trust enough to be sure their own instincts / wishes / imagination does NOT interfere with the process of getting results. I would have to hold on to my instincts, I guess.

Other than an Ouija Board these cards offer answers or hints without the influence of another person and that suits me just fine. I prefer to watch the answers resolve a riddle from a safe spot where I can exclude other (external) influences.

Would you mind explaining how you would include runes, or would you rather wait until you get first results? I haven’t worked with runes (and probably never will) but I have been told that they offer most interesting results …

Trying the cards at a location for the HPLFF should be most interesting – should you come across a lingering spirit that is connected to the Festival, rather than to the building just say “hi” from me .
I would be most interested in the results you get, and to know just in how far this might (have) change(d) the mood of the Festival.

I would not *need* the cards in a different language, the imaginary and descriptions are clear enough from all I’ve seen. But I guess a translated manual would be quite fitting as I wouldn’t have to translate everything by myself and keep a typed / printed copy for reading purposes … that would spoil the whole mood …
A german translation would be interesting (and should be easy to come by since you know at least one native speaker …).

(My compliments to both Alanna and you for the beautiful and inspiring photographs)

• Aaron – I’ll show you the deck next time we cross paths. But, if you are interested in picking up your own they can be purchased directly through the Konxari site.

• Alanna – Fall Quinox @ Lone Fir… it is a date!!!

• Veronica – As I just said to Aaron, you can purchase the cards directly through their site. If you do try them out please post about it here!

• Amber – Aw thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

• Heahter – I will make a deal with you — if you ever come out to Portland for a visit you can try them out here. However — I don’t think you would have to worry about your insane Great-Grandmother unless you are using Konxari near her place of rest or where she passed. Do you know that she hasn’t “crossed over” for sure?

• secretmuffin – Thanks for the kudos. Yes, Lone Fir is lovely and always worth a visit.

• Paul – Thanks doll! If you want to purchase the cards you just need to visit the Konxari website.

• Lady Lovecraft – Thank you for the compliment. They are very much a cross between Tarot and Quija. It is a little more like gathering clues than loose interpretation like in reading tarot. There is little doubt what the imagery means, unlike with some tarot decks.

What language would you need the cards/rules to be in? I will certainly pass this information to IRM’s representatives.

(Alanna took all of the pics of me and the Konxari spreads. I took the first half of the photographs. I just wanted to clarify.)

The cemetery was a fun spot to try them for the first time. Alanna and I have plans to go back already. I will certainly post any new discoveries here. I also plan on trying them out at the Hollywood Theatre during the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival this year. I have been told on several occasions that it is haunted and though I have never experienced anything there myself I am curious to see if there is any truth to the rumour.

You don’t have *have* to use a pendulum. It is a part of the expanded rules and it is a suggestion for clarification. I think it is a helpful tool. But you don’t need a fancy pendulum like mine. The rules include instructions on how to craft your own pendulum. I think next time I may also incorporate my runes into the process.

Alanna’s pics are brilliant and the mood you both created is just enough to make me wonder how it would be to try this on a similar location (like a haunted house, Asylum etc.) … should you use these cards at another occassion / location, please share your experience(s) as well!

One last thing: does the usage / reading of the Cards include the use of a pendulum or something similar or this optional?
