The Hierophant, in position to indicate what was really behind the surface situation, represented education in general, and her own inner sense of direction. The Empress, positioned to express what was in plain sight, puzzled Karen. The usual meaning of a mother figure didn't seem to fit. The card depicted the knitting Sheep gliding along in a little boat. Karen recalled the episode from _Through The Looking Glass_. The Sheep was the proprietress of an odd shop with all manner of curious things. When Alice became confused by the vast array of wares, the Sheep's shop transformed. Alice found herself in the boat with the Sheep, rowing with knitting needles on the queer water. The Sheep finally urged Alice to make up her mind after indulging Alice's curiosity at length. The egg that Alice eventually bought from the Sheep became Humpty Dumpty. It was Humpty Dumpty who was poised atop the wall in The Sun, a card of satisfaction, accomplishment, and success - the card which in this case indicated the culmination and results of all the influences revealed by the other cards. Karen wrapped her cards within the scarf and stowed them within the little pouch in her backpack. With her mind at ease, she slipped back to bed. Drew absentmindedly put an arm around her, drawing her close. Karen subvocalized a post-hypnotic suggestion to arise relaxed and refreshed, before drifting off to a sound and restful sleep. Karen was still sleeping when Drew awoke to the early morning light with a woody. The exquisite shape of her tits was neither diminished by reclining, nor obscured by her T-shirt. Drew considered her flat belly and shapely legs concealed by the sheet. Inspired, and knowing how Karen appreciated a wake-up fuck, he proceeded to slowly arose her. Drew tenderly cupped a pert breast and kissed Karen's neck. The low moan was encouraging. He gently manipulated the firm flesh. Once the nip came up he rolled it between thumb and forefinger. With a final squeeze, Drew released Karen's breast and rested his hand on her pubic mound. |
