Tell us, Tarot, how does the Tarot work?

Transcript

Welcome friends to the wordcloud tarot show, direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space, we've got an audience of tarot cartoons!

Today is the 14th of May 2024 and since we haven't yet done the question on this stage, today we'll ask the card to explain themselves.

How does the tarot work?

We'll use this, the word cloud tarot happy toast deck. Each card has a drawing by the amazing Happy Toast, plus the meaning of the card is written onto each card itself in a word-cloud.

This makes our cards the easiest to read, the symbolic esoteric meanings are written directly onto the card.

We'll do the usual five card spread.

Past - 13 Of Cups, Queen

The card for Past is... The queen of Cups.

The reader is a mystic with unconscious and subconscious awareness of the issue before the reading begins.

They are searching for an enlightened emotional empathic answer that is critical intellectual intuitive and enriching

Something that stands up to cultivated contemplative consciousness analysis

They are conscientious sensitive sympathetic and introspective .

Hidden - 14 Of Cups, King

The card for Hidden influences is the King Of Cups.

The tarot cards all have hidden meanings.

The cards represent the innate evocative symbols that make up the intellectual content of thought

They have been culturally selected down the ages to be mythical yet reasonable psychologically intuitive magic mystical memes.

Each card is a psychic archetype which communicates to versed knowledgable informed readers profound empathic expressive metaphysical ideas

External - 16 Of Trumps, Tower

The card for External influence is the tower, the 16th major arcana.

Also contributing to the reading is the inevitable tumultuous revelation of truth

There really are constraints to the reading, repercussions of the truth of the matter. A breakdown of those constraints damages the reading and brings about it's fatal downfall.

To work the reading needs to collide and coincide with reality.

Present - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor

The card for Present is - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor

The emperor does the reading, accounting for all possibilities finding a stable fair pragmatic and honest narrative structure.

They use objectivity and passionate concern for facts plus integrity empiricism and impartiality to rationality rank and order the components and elements of story to responsibility construct a strong durable thesis from the synthesis of the facts and an intuitive understanding of the symbols.

Outcome - 1 Of Pentacles, Ace

The card for Outcome is the Ace Of Pentacles.

So a new idea, a new conception, one the reader may never have thought of before.

An alchemy that blends the many potential possible stories from the concepts in the cards with the facts at hand.

It's a magical experience guaranteed to find an interesting story through mutual cooperation with a client who is an agent in the reading.

the success of the venture comes from the sincerity effort that the reader spends to clarify interpretation to find a perfect story that matches their esoteric understanding of the archetypical ideas on the cards, as well as the facts.

Summary

The reader begins the operation with critical skills and an empathic understanding on a conscious and subconcious level.

They have a good knowledge of mystical symbols which have proven through the ages to be the basis of good stories and explanations. Each card a meme, a useful idea.

Also going into the reading is the external reality of the situation. The facts that must match to stop the whole narrative tumbling down.

The reader synthesises a story from these influences, blending all the possible readings with their own honesty objectivity and pragmatic interpretation.

The result is a new conception, a brand new story or idea, that matches the known facts and also matches these great mystic archetypes that have been handed to us through tradition, it's a satisfying narrative that rings true because it matches all the facts and the reader's expectations and understandings.
