Judgement

by Jocasta Nu

Card Meaning:
The Judgement Tarot card symbolizes spiritual awakening, transformation and absolution. It encourages self-reflection and evaluation to make life-altering decisions.
Entry:
Today I am working on moving. I did my tarot reading and surprisingly I agree with the card. I never cared for psychics or any of that nonsense when I was a teen. But after all the shit I've read about and the things Evelyn showed me, maybe it is real. I'm not sure but I picked these cards off a woman who claimed to be an empath and said she could see the future. She must not have seen me pickpocketing her coming. I've had them for about two or three years now, I do a reading every morning. This card has something to do with a spiritual awakening or resurrection, it is about a transformation. I think it's time for me to do something more with my life, I have spent the last two years looking for Evelyn. I have spent day after day trying to find out where she went and what happened to her. I haven't been able to find out anything. I stayed in the expensive office that she refurbished for her library, in hopes that she would come back.
I have tried all of the contacts that she gave me and they have turned up nothing. All she left behind was her work phone and the collection.
 
I will admit a part of me considered leaving all of this behind and returning to my "normal" life. I could go back to being the person I was before Jocasta if I could go back to who I was before I stole Evelyn's books. I don't know if I would be able to go back to that though, if Evelyn was here though she would probably make a joke that going back would be like trying to undo Order 66. (Sometimes I regret choosing to name myself Jocasta Nu)
 
I have found a storage unit in Driftwood, TX, as a new "hideout". I chose the largest size available with A/C. I set myself up with a gym membership and have been sliding a few hundred under the table for the storage unit facility manager to look the other way with my comings and goings. It's not fancy or anything, but this place feels more like home than the downtown Austin office. I got a part-time job as a librarian in a fairly nearby public library. I make enough to pay my small amount of bills and to keep making the necessary purchases for the collection. I don't know what to expect from the future. However, I am excited to continue working and growing the collection as I was taught.
 
 
Edit:
I received a phone call on Evelyn's phone, it was from some guy. I think his name was something like: James? Jim? John? I am pretty sure it started with a J. I think he was looking for Evelyn, but he wasn't specific. He said the Feds called us in for some help on a case or something. He texted me the address. I guess maybe this is what the card was talking about.
