Hello my friends in Misery, (Miserians?)

Firstly, I wanted to remind people you can request a refund at any time until February 2nd (30 days after the campaign ends). After that, no refunds will be offered. Thanks!
You can contact me at [email protected] for that.

So let's look at our First six cards of the Suit of Flesh! Enoch and I removed some of the sex elements from this suit, but the upcoming 5 does feature a giant penis, so there's always that to look forward to I suppose.

• ⬛ The House 
  • The House of Flesh is The Palace of Flesh, where people enter to spend and forget. It's a place to escape your weakness, your struggles, your lack of money, goals, hopes. It's full of shame, but it is the ultimate place of bargaining. One of the figures at the door is holding a hand out to receive your payment to enter. 
• 0 The Folly 
  • In the House of Flesh, our 0 is The Hungering Lust. It can be hard to tell where our grasping hands and impossibly hungry sex begin or end in this card. This is being caught in your shame, in your vice, your dark secret, your ecstasy, but you don't stop when caught. You continue but now deeply shamed. While this is the house of Anger and Bargaining, it is equally the house of Shame. How we bargain with our pain, how we cope, can be the salve and the shame. 
• 1 The Portal 
  • In the House of Flesh, our 1 is The Orifice. We take the flesh by the handful and pry it open to enter. We must be hard, strong, vicious to fit into this space. We get in with our rage, our fist, our wiles. It means we want it badly to go in. Release, violence, anger, trade, shame. We enter it with gusto because we need it. Even if to go in is to debase ourselves. To beg at the altar for a trade out of our situation, even if it's only temporary.
• 2 The Nemesis 
  • In the House of Flesh, our 2 is The Doll. This being is beaten and bruised, the subject of our cruelties, even as it begs us to continue. We seek something to hurt or blame, to trade, to enjoy. The Doll is not truly a nemesis, but we put a mask on it to pretend it is not actually our victim. We must convince ourselves it tempts us with its ease of being hit, taken. It is the victim of abuse, physical, sexual, mental, and it is our warning that our cruelties are being explained away when they cannot be. Should not be. The victim of our failures.
• 3 The Wound 
  • In the House of Flesh, our 3 is The Wet. This is someone peeling the flesh from their arm, ready to transform it into something beautiful, golden, forever. Our rage is self destructive. It hurts us by making us convince ourselves that if we tear ourselves down, something good will come of it. But we cannot replace our broken ugly arm with that golden one. We never could have. We tore down what we were afraid of, hated, because we didn't find peace. You cannot let go of things to gain something greater than you ever had. You must work for it over time. 
• 4 The Harmonic 
  • In the House of Flesh, our 4 is The Meat Market. The foundation of this anger, shame, bargaining, is the bare concept that us, our bodies, our time and energy, is for sale. There is a market for these things, for sex, desire, and shame. As long as it's available for trade, we will stay with it. If you stop buying into the market, you will be free of its enticement. Stop giving up things that make you feel happy to lose a few more pounds to be worth loving. Stop changing how you dress, your hair, so someone will want you. Stop thinking you can trade your own happiness to fix the problems in your life. When you can see that, you'll be able to leave the market.
