  long_desc: This Servant represents physically doing new things. Travelling to new places, joining in new activities and doing exciting new things. It represents the need or desire to extend yourself and have new adventures out in the physical world. Are you feeling bored with your life or in a rut? Does nothing ever change for you? Are you having the same conversations with the same people about the same topics? Do you long for excitement and adventure and a release from the boring prison of mundane life? It is easy to forget that human lives are predominately lived in the tiny bubbles of family, places of work or social groups, and you must remind yourself that there is a vast world out there external from you that you can explore. When this Servant appears, it shows you require something new and wonderful to happen in your life. You have become stuck in a rut, and life has become dull and stale. Plan an exciting trip, do something you typically wouldn’t do, or become more spontaneous – adventure awaits! Break out of your well-worn patterns and push yourself out of your comfort zone. It can also denote travel, journeys, parties, and exciting occasions. You can invoke the help of The Adventurer when you need some excitement or adventure in your life. This is a great Servant to use if you feel bored and want something exciting to happen. But you should be careful what you wish for; interesting and exciting times often come with new challenges. Banish this Servant if life (or a person) is getting too exciting or too high energy, or is getting out of control – an overload of The Adventurer energy can lead some to become quite mercurial in nature and have an inability to sit still or relax. It can also make certain parties and gatherings, holidays, or outings more fun, exciting and successful.

- name: The Carnal
  short_desc: The Carnal shows us how to feel positive about our sexuality and physical bodies. She encourages us to feel sexy, attractive and physically desired.
  long_desc: This Servant is all about feeling good about yourself physically and sexually. She represents self-love, sexual attraction and pure base animal desires. She can indicate a need to explore or indulge in sexual impulses or desires but can also represent the need to love your physical self – flaws and all. Do you feel sexy and desirable, or do you feel ugly and unwanted? When The Carnal appears, she suggests that now is the time for you to start feeling good about yourself and your physical needs and wants. The Carnal reminds us that our sexual needs are essential to our well-being and happiness and that we shouldn’t be ashamed of them or ever try to repress them. The Carnal suggests that you should start to express your sexuality in the manner you have always wanted to. She says you should allow yourself to feel sexy, desired and passionate. This Servant is not about love. It is more about the physical aspects of sex, physicality, and desire. Invoke the help of The Carnal when you feel the need to feel sexy, passionate and beautiful. She is eager to assist in improving sexual confidence. You should invoke The Carnal to feel the confidence and charisma of this Servant when you are out to impress. You can ask The Carnal to assist you in becoming a great lover who is desired by all and leaves their lovers wanting more. The Carnal is very useful in aiding the end of a sexual drought or for putting the passion back into a stale relationship. If you are looking for a lusty relationship or a quick fling then The Carnal can help get you what you need. The Carnal works best when used for general attraction rather than for a specific person.
- name: The Conductor
  short_desc: This Servant shows us how to take control of our life circumstances. He encourages us to take a more active role in orchestrating and arranging the events of our lives.
  long_desc: The Conductor is the magician of the orchestra, using his wand to control the music and rhythm to his preference.  He is all about taking control and being in charge of the world around you. Are you the conductor leading the orchestra, or are you one of the minor players? Are you being swayed in time with the music being played, or are you marching to the beat of your own drum? This Servant suggests that you look at the circumstances of your life and see what roles you are actually playing. Are you merely reacting to life and accepting all that comes your way, or are you taking the lead role and living your life the way you want? Are you in flow with the music and rhythm of life and the world, or are you out of step with the beat? Is the soundtrack to your life an upbeat triumphant chorus of angels or a lonely solo violin weeping mournfully in the rain? The Conductor calls to you to take more control over your life and to direct the music of this existence to what you want rather than just marching along to the beat of others. While you may never be fully in control of every event that occurs to or around you, you can compose your own life soundtrack to be more individual, beautiful and inspiring. The Conductor can help you take control of events, relationships, jobs, circumstances, or anything surrounding you and put your own stamp on it. The Conductor can show you how to move and manipulate the events of your life so that they become more harmonious and pleasing to you. The Conductor is a wonderful Servant to enlist when you feel that you don’t have control or autonomy. Request The Conductor to teach you how to weave the music of life to your liking and rhythm.
- name: The Contemplator
  short_desc: This Servant shows us how to access our subconscious mind. He encourages us to temporarily let go of thinking about our problems so that the subconscious mind can find a solution.
  long_desc: The Contemplator suggests that the best course of action is to pull back and withdraw from thinking about your current issue for a while. Some problems are best solved by taking a break from thinking about them altogether or sleeping overnight on them. It’s usually when we relax that the solution appears. The Contemplator suggests that you turn your concern over to your subconscious mind to solve for you. Let the quandary fall to the back of your mind, and thus allowing the subconscious to find a resolution. This Servant can also suggest that something is buried deep within your subconscious mind and that you need to become aware of it. It could be an old idea, a limiting belief, or a bad past experience, but whatever it is, it is tainting your judgement of your current predicament. The Contemplator has access to all the information in your subconscious mind. He is aware of all your inner workings, motivations, beliefs and long-forgotten memories. He knows the underlying reasons why you act or don’t act. He knows everything you have done that you weren’t paying attention to. He knows more about you than you do. And you can ask him to supply you with any of this information. Any problem can be handed over to The Contemplator for deep processing and a solution found. Visualise yourself psychically handing the issue over to The Contemplator, then try as much as possible to put it out of your mind altogether. Within the next few hours, or maybe days, the solution will suddenly appear fully formed in your mind. The Contemplator can be asked to reveal a solution to any problem at hand. Give as complete an explanation as possible regarding the nature of the problem and any pertinent information to The Contemplator. This should be spoken out loud. In another very humble but highly effective role, The Contemplator can help you remember details that are temporarily forgotten, such as phone numbers, people’s names, or where you left your keys. Take a brief moment and mentally give the problem to The Contemplator and wait for the reply. It shouldn’t be forced or pressured. The Contemplator is also useful for transferring new skills or information into our long-term subconscious minds for later retrieval or automation. Great for forming new habits or breaking old ones.
- name: The Dancer
  short_desc: This Servant shows us that it is perfectly human to fail or come up short. She encourages us to accept that sometimes things just don’t work out as planned, and that’s perfectly fine.
  long_desc: When this Servant appears, it signals that sometimes the best thing you can do when it rains is to dance in it. Life can be challenging, and sometimes things just don’t go the way we want them to no matter how hard we try. It is an inevitable part of life that sometimes we just lose despite our most exemplary efforts. And that’s ok. The Dancer, however, is here to remind you that it’s not ok to just give up. The Dancer suggests that rather than spiralling into depression or becoming disheartened, you should rejoice in the effort made and dance in the rain. Life may be falling apart around you, but The Dancer reminds you that you are entirely in control of your reactions towards it. You can choose to fall apart, or you can choose to laugh along with it. The Dancer reminds you that even a failure can be celebrated as it brings the lessons that will get you closer to your goals. When life is tough, the Dancer calls out to take things less seriously and just enjoy the moment, no matter what that moment is. Ask The Dancer to help you stay afloat when times are tough or when your plans have failed. Invoke The Dancer when you need to pick yourself up and get back into the game. Ask The Dancer to help you see the good even in the darkest moments or to show you the prettiness of the rain and the joy of the dance. Let The Dancer show you how to never give up.
- name: The Dead
  short_desc: This Servant shows us our connection to our Ancestors and humanity’s past. She encourages us to learn from the past so that we don’t make the same mistakes over and over.
  long_desc: This Servant is all about the lessons learned from history – your own personal account and our collective human history. The Dead suggests that you should heed the lessons, warnings, and advice from those who have gone before you. She reminds you that there is a vast amount of wisdom available to you from the experiences of the world’s entire population, including all who have long since died. The Dead asks you to reflect on your past experiences so that you don’t make the same mistakes again. For instance, are you making the same mistakes in this relationship as your previous ones? Are you ignoring the experiences of those who have gone before you and think that you know better? Are you dismissing an old-fashioned idea or method simply because it is old? Are you ignoring messages and teachings of deceased friends, relatives or people of note? The Dead can be used for general ancestor work. An offering to The Dead is an offering to your ancestors and the Mighty Dead, and you should thank them for all they have done. Remember, you would not exist if it weren’t for all those who came before you. If someone close to you passes, you can ask The Dead to help bring them safely to the other side and look after them as they make their way into the next stage of their existence. You can ask The Dead to carry any messages to the deceased. The Dead Servant can also be used to connect to any part of the past, such as family history, personal history or even the history of the area you live in. The Dead is an exceptional Servant to use for emotional healing. If there are parts of your past that need healing, you can ask The Dead to assist you to send love or comfort to a time in your life when you needed it most. The Dead can help to reconnect with parts of you that you thought were long gone or even dead. Old hatreds or arguments with dead friends or relatives can be appeased or mended by using The Dead Servant as a conduit between the parties. The Dead can be asked for general guidance on all matters. She is hugely knowledgeable as she has access to the entire history of human thought and deed.
