UK Riots - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 06 Aug 2024
Today is Tuesday the 6th of August and this weekend,
violent right wing thugs rioted all over the streets
of English towns.
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading
to investigate and finds that the one percent have
been looting the country blind, while deliberately
accelerating a social crisis to use immigrants as
a scape-goat.
But it will not work, their plans are exposed,
the people don't like blind hateful rage,
and society will unite against fascism.

Is Farage Right? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 25 Jun 2024
This week Nigel Farage has been in trouble for saying
Nato provoked Russia into invading Ukraine.
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to
to find out if he's right, and finds that
Nigel was a rich private-school city-banker born into wealth,
who always had a love for power and money, and the fascists who have it.
He took Russian money to accelerate the decline of the UK through Brexit,
and is now seeking the splendours of power through partnership with fascists.
He will retire in luxury even as the country sinks into ruin.
In the end it doesn't matter if Farage is right,
because his reason for saying it is his naked attraction to Putin's power,
and in that he is Far-Right.

How The Tarot Works - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 14 May 2024
Today is the 14th of May 2024 and this week
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading
asking the tarot to explain itself.
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.
### End
That's what the cards tell me anyway.
You can get a deck to see what the cards tell you

Humza Yousaf resigns. - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 30 Apr 2024
Today is Tuesday the 30th of April and yesterday, the
first minister of Scotland's parliament resigned!
What happened? Why?
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to investigate.
He finds the original coalition agreement
between the Greens and the Nats was _informed_.
The deal promised economic gain to fund ecological targets.
But the real world,
and England's control of Scottish law,
made those targets impossible.
The targets were diluted down so much
that the greens had to quit the coalition.
Now some _wealthy_ _activist_ _economist_ will take over.
Strongly suggested female, so maybe Kate Forbes.

Welcome friends to the wordcloud tarot show,
direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space
in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!
Today is Tuesday the 30th of April and yesterday,
the first minister of Scotland's parliament resigned!
Lets do a five minute tarot reading to find out what happened.
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 reading very transparent,
you can see that the cards mean what we
say they mean.
Today we'll do a five card cross, so lets go!
### Past - 14 Of Cups, King
The card for Past is the King of Cups!
Something _mild_ _humble_ and _intellectual_.
The original power-sharing agreement.
It was between the Nats and the Greens.
It's a _gracious_ _compassionate_ _cultural_
agreement such as a _informed_ _personable_
_courteous_ _advisor_ or _counsellor_ might recommend.
A _generous_ _faithful_ _thoughtful_ agreement.
### External Influence - 6 Of Pentacles, Success
In the External slot we have the six of pentacles.
The external agreement defined the terms of _success_.
A well managed _economy_ with good _investment_
_bringing_ _money_, _improving_ _prosperity_.
These _gains_ let government show
_magnanimity_, _munificence_ and _altruism_.
There can be _charity_ and _compassion_ ,
allowing _flourishing_ _liberty_ and
saying _thanks_ by _sharing_ _wealth_.
_liberal_ _commodity_ _economics_ brings
_riches_ to be spent on environmental targets
_beneficence_ and _wellbeing_ .
### Hidden Influence - 8 Of Trumps, Strength
The card for Hidden Influence is - 8 Of Trumps
There's a hidden _force_
that has _strength_ and _control_ over Scotland.
Likely England, or just basic global economic factors.
The _willingness_ to _sacrifice_ ,
however _sure_ your _belief_ ,
however _brave_ your _patriotism_ ,
always meets the _systems_ of real-life _power_ ,
limited _supply_ , _energy_ constraints.
Those _desired_ _expectations_, the targets,
could not be met.
### Present - 14 Of Trumps, Temperence
The card for Present is - 14 Of Trumps
Those hidden powers force _temperance_ on the nation.
To _maintain_ _stability_, it _controls_ and _moderates_.
Pushing _restraint_ onto those ambitious targets.
Under _conflict_ from foreign forces,
Scotland is _tempered_,
and can't meet it's _objectives_.
And Scotland announced as much.
It broke the _harmony_ of the _synthesis_,
the _balance_ of _unity_.
The greens left.
The power-sharing agreement collapsed.
### Outcome - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen
The card for Outcome is - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen
I confess I don't know much about the candidates,
but the cards suggest a _sophisticated_
_wealthy_ _environmental_ _activist_ ,
a _powerful_ _leader_ and _businesswoman_
with good _economic_ and _ecosystem_ knowledge.
It's a strongly female card, even among the queens,
but I don't really know Kate Forbes well enough to
say if that's what she's like.
Perhaps that describes John Swinney or Neil Gray or someone else better?
But the new leader will be a wealthy activist economist.
### Summary
So in summary,
the original coalition agreement between the Greens and the Nats was _informed_.
The deal promised economic gain to fund ecological targets.
But the real world, and England's control of Scottish law, made those targets impossible.
The targets were diluted down so much that the greens had to quit the coalition.
Now some _wealthy_ _activist_ _economist_ will take over.
Strongly suggested female, so maybe Kate Forbes.

Middle East Escalation - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 16 Apr 2024
Today is Tuesday the 16th of April 2024 and this week,
Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles into
Israel's territory.
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading
to investigate and finds that while relations looked
like they were becoming more peaceful, the oppression
under the surface made it a tinderbox so even the smallest
betrayal can escalate to destroy the precious peace.
*Transcript*
Welcome friends to the wordcloud tarot show,
direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space
in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!
Today is Tuesday the 16th of April 2024 and last
weekend, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles
into Israel's territory.
What's going on with that?
Lets do a tarot reading to find out.
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 reading very transparent,
you can see that the cards mean what we
say they mean.
Today we'll do the usual five card spread,
so lets go!
### History - 12 Of Pentacles, Knight
The first card represents history,
that is the knight of Pentacles.
The knight is a
_contemplative_ _conscious_
_diligent_ _educated_ fellow.
And here he represents the uneasy
truce between the nations in recent
history.
_Opportunistic_, sure, _accepting_
in a _dutiful_ _equanimous_ way that
even if the countries can't be friends,
at least they can find _purposeful_ _advantage_
in not fighting, gather a _pious_ peace dividend.
The _realization_ that even just _financial_
incentives demand more _munificence_ towards
each other.
To call it _benevolent_ _magnanimous_ or _altruistic_
would be an exaggeration, but you get the idea,
this is a _methodological_ _enterprising_
peace, barely stable.
But at least they weren't blowing each other up
all that much.
### External - 6 Of Cups, Pleasure
The External card is the six of cups. Pleasure.
Externally, this looked like it was a
_saccharine_ _mawkish_ _bliss_.
I mean we're exaggerating again, clearly,
it's not that there's an _enthusiasm_
to be _together_.
This isn't _love_ _passion_ and _delight_
even from the outside, but it's
that sort of direction.
Perhaps a _fondness_ in it's _infancy_ ,
_anticipation_ of _honesty_ and _sincerity_
at least.
There is some _pleasure_ in peace with your enemy.
### Hidden - 10 Of Wands, Oppression
In the Hidden position we have the ten of Wands, Oppression
While it may look like a pleasure, there is
in fact much _repression_, not even that deeply hidden.
_colonial_ _subjugation_ ,
_brutal_ _enslavement_,
_injustice_ and _tyranny_ and _pain_
The _authoritarian_ _surveillance_ _fascists_
_persecute_ their _victims_ on both
sides of the borders.
Even during the peace,
there are protestors in _chains_ ,
_statutory_ _pressure_ and onerous _responsibility_
_confinement_, _obligation_, _entrapment_,
_hardship_.
These states may project apparent pleasure,
an uneasy accord, but government oppression
and tension lie under the surface.
### Present - 12 Of Trumps, Hangedman
The card for this moment is the 12th Trump, The Hanged man
An _interruption_ and _incomprehension_ ,
an _understanding_ is _renounced_ and _abjured_ .
The peace is _relinquished_.
Under attack people _cede_ the peace and
_suspend_ their good will, they
_forego_ _insight_ and _denounce_
instead of forgive.
Their _devotion_ leads to _suspension_ of law,
to _disdain_ in their _perception_ of other's
_viewpoints_ . To _indifference_ and _detachment_ .
People feel _nonchalance_ for _implications_
which makes them _abdicate_ reasonableness and
_abandon_ peace.
Inevitably, it leads to _disaster_, _catastrophe_ .
Escalation.
### Outcome - 5 Of Cups, Disappoint
The final slot tells us the outcome, and
that is the five Of Cups, Disappoint.
When people abandon care for consequences,
and seek revenge for oppression
instead of furthering the peace,
they will be disappointed.
They are heading for _calamity_ .
The cycle of _injury_ and _revenge_
leads to _bereavement_ , _sorrow_ ,
_despair_ , _trauma_ ,_sadness_
_misfortune_ , _heartache_ ,
_misery_ , _anguish_ and _loss_.
Each escalation leads to more
_frustration_, _treachery_ and
_disappointment_ and yet more
_dismay_ _desperation_ and _unhappiness_
The outcome of losing sight of your enemy's
humanity is _deception_ _weariness_ and _regret_.
### Summary
Relations between the nations was more diligent
and opportunistic than friendly, but purposeful
peace was being pursued.
It looked like it was going okay, with some
anticipation of cooperation in it's infancy.
But really under the surface is lots of unaddressed
oppression and suffering.
It's a powder-keg, and even the smallest
betrayal or interruption, a single hanged man,
can relinquish the hold on peace.
Then the cycle of disappointment, injury and
revenge destroys everything.
The key is de-escalation,
and addressing the oppression,
understanding and reluctance for revenge,
only that can give a peace dividend,
not an eye for an eye, but maybe just one
eye for every two?
I note that the cards don't
say who swung the first hanged man,
and that every state in the region
and beyond is guilty of kinds of oppression.
I don't think the cards here cast
more judgement upon either side,
unless they fail to de-escalate,
fail to seek ways to address oppression,
and continue that cycle of revenge.
### End
That's what the cards tell me anyway.

will the Londoners drink? Is it back to Gin?

the outcome will be a bail-out for the company's
rich shareholders, and a stronger capital class.

Welcome friends to the wordcloud tarot show,
direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space
in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!
Are you having fun?
Today is the 9th of April 2024 and this week,
Thames Water has defaulted on it's debt!
What will the Londoners drink?
Is it back to Gin?
We'll do a five minute tarot reading to find out.
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 reading very transparent,
you can see that the cards mean what we
say they mean.
Today we'll do a five card cross, so lets go!
### Past - 9 Of Pentacles, Gain
The first card represents the past, and
that card is the 9 of Pentacles, Gain.
The initial privatisation of the water companies
was supposed to _reward_ _investment_ from the
private sector.
The _expectation_ was that this was an
_opportunity_ for _wealth_ to
_gain_ _earnings_ and _prosperity_
from _profusion_ of
investments in _customer_ _satisfaction_
The _guaranteed_ _money_
was supposed to _incentivize_
the _realisation_ of _future_
investment.
The promise was future rewards, if private
capital would pay to improve the service.
### Hidden Influence - 14 Of Pentacles, King
Up next is the Hidden slot, and there we have
the King of Pentacles!
The _fundamental_ problem with the plan
is that _conservative_ _entrepreneurial_
_corporate_ _businessman_ are
_crafty_ _ideological_ _effective_
_economical_ _money_ extraction machines.
They don't really believe in _credible_
_meticulous_ _financial_ _development_.
They just want a _systematic_ _efficient_
_resource_ extraction system for _billionaires_.
### External Influence - 12 Of Wands, Knight
In the External slot we have, the Knight of Wands!
The system was set up by
_reckless_ _insatiable_ _irresponsible_ _felons_
like the conservative government.
They are _infatuated_ with private capital,
_inconsiderate_ of the needs of the people,
_rash_ and _naive_ about the environment,
and have an
_obsessive_ _longing_ for _powerful_ _efficient_
_innovative_ wealth extraction plans.
### Present - 5 Of Wands, Strife
That leads us to the present moment, and
the card representing that is the 5 of wands,
strife.
This
_controversial_ financial _attack_
on the water system causes
_animosity_ towards customers,
_pressure_ from debtors,
_distrust_ and _dispute_ with staff,
_unease_ and _upheaval_.
The _contradiction_ between financial extraction
and service provision causes
_conflict_ _stress_ and _struggle_.
And indeed, the share-holders borrowed too much,
paid it all out in dividends to the rich,
and so the company is bankrupt.
### Outcome - 8 Of Trumps, Strength
Where will all this lead? The Outcome is
represented by the eight Of Trumps, Strength.
The _system_ of wealth extraction
for those in _power_ will become more _potent_.
So, bailouts for the rich, most likely.
A _courageous_ _patriotic_ _sacrifice_ by the people,
to produce a _generous_ bailout for the crooks
who drained the company of it's entire _worth_.
I mean _honestly_ , our _expectations_ for any
kind of punishment of the financial criminals
should be low.
Not only will they get away with it, they will
be _stronger_, taking our money and then being
bailed out.
Again and again. This is what privatisation means.
The rich get strong, and the poor pay for it.
### Summary
In summary then, the privatisation was sold on
the lie that it would cause investment through
promising rewards of financial gain for capital.
But the capital is a meticulous resource extraction
machine for billionaires,
and the government who should constrain them are
reckless ideological irresponsible felons.
The result was debt, resource extraction, and
bankruptcy for the company.
The crooks in power will just bail out the
financial criminals, leaving them stronger and
us all weaker.
That's what the cards tell me to expect anyway.

What's with state of everything lately? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 2nd April 2024
In a new-format show set in the colourful exciting virtual tarot-drome,
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading on the question
"What's up with the state of the world lately?"
He finds that the world has oppressive elite ruling powers
who subjugate the powerless and cause strife to the hidden majority.
It appears to external observers as though they have total victory,
but through science and moral progress
we can end the evil patriarchal oppression
and institute a new world order
based on solidarity and equity and peace.

Welcome friends to this new look wordcloud tarot show,
direct from the Tarotdrome here in cyber-space
in front of an audience of tarot cartoons!
Doesn't it look great!?
Today is Tuesday April the 2nd so for our new season
we thought we'd ask the simple question,
What the hell is going on with the state of the world lately?
It's mad innit?
We'll use this, the worldcloud tarot happy toast deck!
Every card has a beautiful drawing from the amazing
cartoonist Happy Toast, and also a world-cloud with the
meaning of each card written directly onto the card itself.
No need to memorize the meanings,
to read the tarot, you can just read.
That makes these readings very transparent,
you can see that the cards do mean what we say they mean.
This week we'll do a five-card cross,
so let's see what the cards say!
### Past - 13 Of Pentacles, Queen
The first card represents History and that card is:
The queen of pentacles.
A _queen_, from the ruling elite.
The world's _wealthy_ _prosperous_ _royalty_,
or _rich_ _powerful_ _private_ _money_.
The world they have built seems _useful_ and
_dependable_ and _versatile_ and _reliable_.
It seems _protective_ and _secure_.
And it is. For them.
It helps /them/ _flourish_ .
But the _ecosystem_ is breaking,
there's _environmental_ doom,
the _workers_ are revolting.
Because this is a _sexist_, _misogynistic_ _patriarchy_
that constantly requires _regimental_ _enforcement_,
_threatening_ everyone.
This _sophisticated_ _surveillance_ state is out of control!
### Hidden Influence - 5 Of Wands, Strife
For the "Hidden" slot, we have the five of wands:
_Strife_.
The suffering and _stress_ that the ruling elites
cause isn't really all that hidden.
You can see it on TV, you can see it in your own home.
The inequality causes _tension_ and _unrest_,
_struggle_ and _hostility_.
You can see _trepidation_ _animosity_ and _turmoil_ everywhere,
constant _quarrels_ and _distrust_ and _discomfort_ .
The _pressure_ and _disquiet_ build until there's a _disturbance_,
a _disruption_ leading to _protests_ and _riots_.
There's _conflict_ and _battles_,
an _uprising_ that could lead to
_flighting_, maybe a civil _war_.
Those concentrations of wealth and power
_cause_ _tense_ _emotional_ issues, and
the _controversy_ and _discontent_ must
end in _dispute_, _combat_ and _fighting_.
### External Influence - 6 Of Wands, Victory
The card for External slot is - 6 Of Wands, Victory
External observers may well think that
the _rulers_ have complete _victory_
Their _ongoing_ _success_
and the _continuing_ _acceptance_ of their _influence_
( despite widespread _recognition_ of their _notoriety_ )
shows they have _achieved_ their _goal_ .
They have _attained_ and _accomplished_ _ultimate_ _glory_.
They have _innovated_ into _winning_ a _momentous_ _prize_.
Their _will_ and _objectives_ are bought to _fruition_.
From outside it seems the powers of private money have won.
They are _scoring_ the _future_ .
### Present - 6 Of Swords, Science
The card for Present is - 6 Of Swords, Science
Things are _changing_
this is a time of _transition_
and new _thinking_ when new _ideology_
and _philosophy_ can arise.
An _amalgamation_ of _concepts_ can bring us an _innovation_
and bring _peace_, a _clarity_ of _mind_
A _clear_ new _ethic_ from _science_ and _rational_ _reasoning_
a _transformation_ of _intellect_ towards _equanimity_
New _research_,
and _evidence_ based _systems_,
can help _discover_ and understand the hidden strife and oppression
and so bring _transparency_ and _wisdom_ to the _conflict_ .
We can make a fairer more balanced system,
and this present moment, now, is when we decide.
### Outcome - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor
The card for Outcome is - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor
A new _structure_, some new _constitutional_ _government_
A new world order, with _duty_ and _accountability_ ,
based on _objectivity_ _rationality_ _impartiality_ and _empiricism_
We can have the _ambition_ to _establish_ a
new _honest_ _decent_ system
with _equality_, _solidity_ _civility_ and _fairness_
at it's heart.
Only that can give _stability_ .
Only _morality_ and _merit_ and _integrity_.
Because oppression only leads to discontent and violence.
### Summary
The current system of powerful rich oligarchs
may look just, but they rule through guns
and bombs. There's hidden oppression everywhere,
suffering and injustice and genocide.
Externally it looks like the powerful have victory,
but now we have the tools of science which
we can use to understand the patriarchy's oppression,
and the strife and suffering it causes,
and bring about instead a new world order
based on equity and solidarity and honest fairness.
Oppression is not stable,
it leads to more revolutions,
we can only have stability
through equity and solidarity,
not through oppression
and violence and bombs.

Why do UK railways cost 10x more? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 25 Sep 2023
This week the UK government is once again talking about cancelling railway lines because it costs too much money.
The UK spends ten times more per mile to build railways than all the other countries.
Why is that?
@pre@boing.world does a tarot reading to ask, "Why do UK railways cost ten times more than anyone else?"
He finds that collusion and foolish government ideology lead to a confluence of opportunity in which rapacious capitalist villains can scam and skim profit from subcontracting ten layers deep.
More ranting details in the five minute show:
### Past - 10 Of Trumps, Fortune
Certainly it's cost a _fortune_, and has
_tragically_ _bankrupted_ an _oblivious_ government,
leaving an _abyss_ in public _finances_
and yet a _fortune_ and _riches_ for the _lucky_ bosses
who sub-contract jobs to each other.
Ah, the _cycle_ of business.
That's how it's been.
### Hidden Influence - 6 Of Trumps, Lovers
The _lovers_ card is about _connectedness_,
in this case the _mutual_ _cooperation_,
even _collaboration_,
in the _bargaining_ and _negotiation_
of public private _partnerships_.
There's a _collusion_ between business and government,
a revolving door,
they are _lovers_ and they are _one_ and the same,
making the same _choices_.
### External Influence - 0 Of Trumps, Fool
Then of course there's the fact that
everyone in the governments is an idiot.
They have _confidence_ and _conviction_, sure,
an _unconstrained_ _purity_ in their ideology.
But they are _fools_ like little _babies_ and
they are wrong and they don't understand anything.
They are either colluding, or being taken for fools.
### Present - 17 Of Trumps, Star
So that brings us to the present:
a confluence of the _stars_,
This _natural_ _opportunity_ for _prosperity_,
and the _elegant_ _confidence_ game
that the companies run against their
gullible public and colluding government.
They _assist_ each other,
chasing the _glamour_ and _serenity_
in a kind of unconscious _conspiracy_.
### Outcome - 14 Of Wands, King
A _cynical_ _villain_ and his _joker_ _company_,
colluding with the _sovereign_ _leaders_
in a _ravenous_ _devouring_ of public money,
a _rapacious_ _opportunistic_ _masochistic_ scam
against the public
caused by a _liberal_ free-market ideology
that leads to nothing but _hardship_.
They're supposed to be _adversaries_
and instead it's just kickbacks and
the _charismatic_ _rich_ profit-skimming
from subcontractors ten layers deep.
### Summary
In summary then, fortunes have been made by
morally bankrupt people that have been running
the railways.
The loving relationship between government and
business and the idiot members of parliament have
led to this bright star of collusion between those
idiots and the private enterprise.
The reason then, the final answer, is the cynical
rapacious companies are colluding with the sovereign government,
they are so close there is barely a line separating them.
Corruption and opportunism is why it costs ten
times more, because there are ten levels deep of
private enterprise skimming off tax-payers money.

Refugee Barges - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 07 Aug 2023
This week the #uk government started moving
#refugee applicants from hotels onto a #barge
floating in the sea.
@pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading
and finds that the refugees are grateful
to have escaped, and have much potential to offer
society. But mean-spirited sullen idiots are jealous,
so punish them with a purgatory of bureaucracy and confinement
instead of accepting their valuable contributions.
Luckily, the cards say this time must pass,
that the more humane majority of society will
eventually end this madness.
### Past - 4 Of Cups, Luxury
The word _hotel_ is on this card,
so it must be talking about the
comparative _luxury_ of the hotels
But note that these _villa_
are full of _weariness_
and _morose_ _tedium_.
There is _aimlessness_ and
_hopelessness_ because of the
_passivity_ and _boredom_ of living in this _sad_ purgatory,
awaiting processing
maybe for years.
A life banned from work or activity may
look _luxurious_, but it is _tedious_ and
filled with _ennui_
### Hidden Influence - 10 Of Cups, Satiety
All they really _desire_ is _contentment_.
They are thankful for the nation's kindness,
they want to working for earnings.
to achieve _prosperity_, _stability_, to contribute to
society for rewards, like anyone else.
### External Influence - 11 Of Cups, Page
This card shows how much they have to contribute,
They are _ingenious_ and _enthusiastic_,
_youthful_ and _insightful_
and _articulate_.
They are the ones that managed to escape,
travel across the globe.
They have the _potential_ to
contribute their _creativity_
and _cleverness_
towards our country's needs.
### Present - 12 Of Wands, Knight
But there's a small segment of the population
who have political power right now,
_Naive_ and _inconsiderate_ and _sullen_.
They're _insatiable_ and _irritable_.
They are _jealous_ and _impulsive_,
_infatuated_ with the simple but _reckless_
miss-understanding.
Their _envy_ makes them mistake purgatory for luxury.
### Outcome - 12 Of Pentacles, Knight
This time will pass though,
there will one day be a
_pious_ and _altruistic_
_successful_ _teacher_,
who is _resourceful_ and _accepting_.
_Magnanimous_, _determined_ and _able_,
who can bring about a change in _consciousness_,
to a more _benevolent_ and _generous_ society.
### Summary
The refugees have much to give:
They are grateful to have escaped,
and offer loyalty in return for happiness
They have great potential, youth,
hard work, resourcefulness.
But they are stuck in monotonous purgatory,
unable to work or contribute or do much other
than sit about waiting to be processed.
Because petty mean-spirited jealousy drives a section of
the population who have the balance of power right now,
and so the refugees are mistreated in
inconsiderate and obsessive ways.
They think that the refugees are in luxury,
rather than in purgatory, and so are
determined to make their life harder,
punishing them instead of accepting their contributions.
But, this time will pass.
There will eventually be a rise
of the magnanimous and altruistic
part of our society,
It might be a while yet though,
this does not sound like Starmer eh?

The Reign Of King Charles - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 06 May 2023
The Reign Of King Charles - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 06 May 2023
### The Reign Of King Charles
Today is the #coronation of #charles3 so
what will his reign be like? @pre@boing.world
consults the #tarot deck to do a deep dive into
the threads leading to this monarch's reign,
and how it will all turn out.
### Best Hope - 12 Of Wands, Knight
What do we want from a monarch? Someone who is
_wilful_ and _forceful_, but
_inspiring_ and _ambitious_ who is well
_respected_, _strong_,
with an _instinctive_ feel for _power_.
A _vital_ and _vigorous_ _knight_,
_distracting_ us with _thrilling_
_unforgettable_ stunts.
### History - 11 Of Swords, Page
But what we get in history is
_chatty_, _gregarious_ and _loquacious_ rulers who
are _unconcerned_ with the common man,
_witty_ and _affable_ perhaps, but also
_indifferent_ and _disdainful_.
_devout_, _assiduous_ and _formal_,
but _impatient_ and _irritable_.
### External - 4 Of Pentacles, Power
The king is thought to be a source of _power_ but
really that is all external to him. A king is nothing
without _finance_ and the _institutions_ of state
that give him _money_ and _security_ and allow
the _conservation_ of _funding_ and _strength_.
The kings face may be on the _money_, but it's the money
and the state external to him that gives him power.
### Internal - 12 Of Trumps, Hangedman
Internally the institution is _interrupted_
power _relinquished_ and _ceded_ from one symbol to the next
is a _crisis_ for institution.
It shows the _detachment_ from _reality_ and the
_refusal_ to _relinquish_ or _abdicate_ or _sacrifice_.
### Waning - 3 Of Wands, Virtue
We lose the influence of the old _virtuous_ queen:
_fairness_ and _humility_ are on the way out.
She had _competence_ and _prescience_,
she was _one_ with the state and
had the _integrity_ and _prudence_ to
_manage_ with _acumen_ and _confidence_,
she was _credible_ and _virtuous_
but that is all over now.
### Waxing - 7 Of Cups, Debauch
Instead we have a _bewildered_ king, a _lazy_ _fraud_ ,
_deluded_ and _debauched_, _depraved_ and _incompetent_.
He has _cronies_ all around him and will _mismanage_ his reign with
_corruption_, _excess_ and _gluttony_.
### Now - 1 Of Wands, Ace
So right now as the crown is crowned, we have a _culmination_
of _recent_ _groundwork_. This is a moment of new beginning, when a
new era begins. There are new _ideas_ around and a _renaissance_
could happen. There is _potential_ for a new _existence_
### Obstacles - 2 Of Pentacles, Change
There are _progressive_ forces,
_new_ and _radical_ and _innovative_,
who offer a _balancing_ _opposition_
to the old guard and the elite.
A _endeavour_ from _below_ to seek
_freedom_ and _adaptability_.
Can the king overcome the forces of
progressivism and change?
### Outcome - 2 Of Wands, Dominion
No, he will _undermine_ the republicans,
his _strategy_ and _circumstance_
make his position _durable_,
In tumultuous times, the people seek _stability_ and _rigidity_ and _subjection_.
in many minds he is the _country_ itself.
He has the _budget_ and the _supremacy_ to exert _dominion_
So he long will reign over us.
### Summary
What you want from a head of state is an inspiring
knightly distraction, respected and strong with
an instinctive feel for power.
What we've been getting from monarchs is loquacious
rulers indifferent to the concerns of the common man.
The rulers power comes not from themselves,
but from the institutions external to them,
the money and strength,
Internally this is a dangerous time for a monarch,
when the old is dead and the new must be born.
The old monarch was virtuous, but the new is debauched.
This could be a moment of change, a culmination
bringing about new ideas.
The king must overcome these forces for changes,
the progressive opposition that wants freedom
And indeed he will do so, the people seek
security and he is a symbol of security,
his budget will ensure we all stay subjugated
and his dominion is assured.
Long will live the king, and the monarchy,
they have the power to keep the power,
whether they deserve it or not.

Should We Leave Twitter - Wordcloud Tarot Show 17th April 2023
The #Wordcloud #Tarot Show returns,
and the new @iamhappytoast deck is now generally available!
You can buy it right now on the website.
Since our last #video just as #elonMusk took over #twitter,
there have been many changes.
So to demonstrate the use of the cards,
and make a business decision,
we ask the Tarot the question:
Should we leave Twitter?
We do a Five Card Cross reading, which has cards for:
### Past - 8 Of Swords, Interference
Since Musk took over it's been like
he's _irrational_ and _sabotaging_ the place himself.
His actions are _unpredictable_ and _counterproductive_.
The _financial_ _debt_ of the company is staggering.
the twitter-_jails_ have been emptied, the banned free to
once again roam the website.
The company _obligations_ and _commitments_ have been
_obstructed_
and the _noise_ and hate and bigotry are off the chart.
### External Influence - 14 Of Cups, King
Meanwhile, outside Twitter, in the external world, Mastodon
has _competent_ moderators, _councillors_ and _teachers_,
an _empathetic_ and _esoteric_ crowd of
_informed_ _intellectual_ _meditative_ _poets_
saying _profound_ _thoughtful_ things.
### Hidden Influence - 7 Of Trumps, Chariot
But I do have hidden motivations, reasons to stay.
I want go places like a _chariot_ to success
I have _aspirations_ and _desires_,
an _enthusiasm_, putting _effort_ into
chasing _glory_ and _respect_ and _success_.
I have a _will_ and a _zeal_ to go places!
### Present - 7 Of Pentacles, Failure
However, in the present moment, right now,
that is a _failure_ on Twitter anyway.
The _financial_ _income_ from Twitter is of course zero,
it's a _failing_ _investment_ of time too
all for _declining_ reward,
Twitter doesn't even show most posts to your own followers.
It is not a chariot to success, it is a bus to failure.
It's _losing_ at the _task_.
### Outcome - 4 Of Swords, Truce
So what to do?
The cards suggest a _ceasefire_, an end to _conflict_,
exit the _contract_ and stop _hostilities_.
Have an _intermission_ and a _lull_,
we should _leave_, make a _pact_ to _pause_ _use_.
Have a _period_ of _recovery_ and _rejuvenation_,
We should go _without_ twitter, at least for a _time_.
### Summary
The history of Twitter since Musk took over is that he's been
interfering: ruining the place.
Turning it into a nazi free-speech troll bar,
welcoming back banned racists and bigots and terfs,
even encouraging them, in order to monetize them.
Meanwhile externally, outside twitter, there is a
nice generous and calm place filled with communicative
and contemplative folks.
And while we do have ambition and desire,
while we want to find the opportunities
that Twitter could offer,
That is failing and indeed doomed to failure.
The interference is too strong.
There can be no staying behind to
fight on Musk's Terf turf.
So the outcome can only be that we stop the fight,
down weapons, ceasefire and walk out,
go and find that external place
where bigots and the troll are banned
and nobody can own it to run interference.
With that then we abandon Twitter,
this will be our last post there.
It was fun, but I can't hang out in an unmoderated nazi bar.

End Of The Kickstarter - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 1 Dec 2022
It's December, so the #Kickstarter is over, and @pre@boing.world does a quick 3-minute reading to discover what the next steps will be.
### Past - 3 Of Swords, Sorrow
This is of course all the hard work, blood
sweat and _tears_ that went into the project.
The _anguish_, _difficulties_ and _discomfort_
involved in making the deck.
The _pain_ and _problems_ of support
and promotion during the kickstarter,
the _trials_ and _torments_ and _worry_
and _woe_ in dealing with _struggles_
and _frustration._
### Present - 9 Of Trumps, Hermit
And now we'll be going into a _hermit_ phase.
With the kickstarter over, we'll be doing
_analysis_ and _assessment_,
we'll be _contemplating_ where orders come
from and _discovering_ how to get the
cards printed and distributed most efficiently.
We'll be using all our _patience_ and
_perseverance_ and to _safeguard_ our
_responsibility_ to get these cards
out as soon as possible.
We'll be _suspending_ doing new shows
for a period of _tranquillity_ and
_stillness_ while we do that.
### Future - 13 Of Cups, Queen
Then, when all that is done, and the new
deck is available for _purchase_, we'll
be back in the new year for
more _analysis_ and _compassionate_
and _critical_ _enlightened_ _intellectual_
_introspective_ shows filled with
_mystic_ _searching_ and
_spiritual_ _empathic_ _contemplation_.
### Summary
It's been a struggle and hard work, and
there is still much learning and
analysis and perseverance to do,
but it's been a great success and we're
looking forward to coming back in the
new year for a new season of shows to
teach you all how the tarot works and
do some gags about current events.
Thanks again to the supporters that
got us this far, we'll get those
decks printed and shipped just as
soon as we can.
Meanwhile, sign up to the mail-list
or follow and subscribe on on all
the social media channels here and
we'll see you in the new year.

How can you meet someone new? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 28th Nov 2022
To celebrate the launch of the HappyToast Wordcloud #tarot
deck on #kickstarter, @revpriest does a reading
asking the age old question: How can you meet someone new?
### Past - 11 Of Pentacles, Page
Previous boyfriends have been _bookish_ _businessman_ types. _Corporate_,
and _determined_. Perhaps you met them
at work. They are _financially_ _focused_
_outdoors_ types but they were always
too _materialist_ and _diffident_ so
you you never really munged to connect
with them on an emotional level.
### Present - 11 Of Cups, Page
The last boyfriend was more of an
_artist_. _Articulate_ and _carefree_.
More _creative_ and a _dreamer_ type.
He was more _empathic_ and _sensitive_
so you thought you had made a deeper
connection with him, but it turns out
he's a _wonderer_.
_Opportunistic_ and _vivacious_.
### Future - 15 Of Trumps, Devil
So you're heading to _despair_ that
you'll ever meet anyone. You feel
_entrapped_ by _fear_ and _ignorance_,
_immobilized_ and _restrained_,
_disposed_. _Dreading_ the _nihilism_
and _nothingness_ of being alone.
### Intervention - 8 Of Swords, Interference
So what do you do about it?
_Interference_.
You gotta make a _commitment_, _bind_
yourself to being _available_ and try
your _luck_, making _obligations_ and
future _commitments_. Face _failure_,
knowing that eventually _happenstance_
will step in.
### Influence - 2 Of Pentacles, Change
By committing yourself to more
activities, binding your choices on
staying alone at home, you will create
_change_ in your life. _Adaptability_
and _balance_. The _butterfly_ effect
will see you _change_ from a _chrysalis_
and _metamorphosed_ into a new
_partnership_ and a new _venture_.
### Obstacles - 4 Of Trumps, Emperor
You'll have to do battle with the
_Emperor_, with an _authority_ figure.
Maybe your _father_ or your _boss_?
That person has _merit_ and _integrity_
and can show _leadership_ but they are
in your way, an obstacle, and you need
to commit to change to get away from
that _authoritarian_ _moralist_.
### Outcome - 14 Of Cups, King
In the end? You'll meet a _communicative_
_compassionate_ _competent_ and
_courteous_ _guru_ who is _generous_
and _kind_. He's _lyrical_ and
_knowledgable_, a _mysterious_ _mystic_
but he's also _reasonable_ and _feeling_
and _faithful_.
### Summary
You've usually dated guys who are too
materialist and financially focused,
then you finally found a guy you
can connect with on an emotional level,
but he turned out to be a cheater.
So you feel alone and just want
to be left alone but you must make a
commitment, bind yourself to an
obligation so that you can create change
in your life, over come your problems
with your father or boss and finally
meet a kind and faithful mystical
guru of some sort.
So if you feel obligated to reach out,
do drop me a line.
You can join my mailing list on the
website to learn about new shows, and there you can
also find our kickstarter running all month in
November 2022.
Drop by and show your support, it might change your life.

Should you quit your job? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 21st Nov 2022
This month HappyToast and Wordcloud tarot are releasing a new #tarot deck, the easiest
deck to read in the whole world: the meanings are written on the cards in words too!
To celebrate, Adam does a five minute reading to show the cards and demonstrate the technique, asking a common Tarot question: Should you #quit your #job?
### Past - 4 Of Cups, Luxury
Historically your current job has been very easy,
you've been lazing around in an almost _automated_
way, _aimless_ and _apathetic_ about your employment.
Yes, _bored_ and facing _ennui_ at the _fate_ you
face staying at this _hopeless_ and _lazy_ _tedium_.
### Present - 2 Of Cups, Love
At the moment, you love it. You do. You have
_friends_ there, and _companionship_.
_Comraderie_ with your _collaborators_.
It's _amusing_ and you are _intimately_
_connected_ to your co-workers.
It's a good gig. _tranquil_ and _amusing_.
### Future - 5 Of Pentacles, Worry
But the future is more _worrisome_.
There is some _economic_ _doubt_ about
the future of the company and it's
_failure_ would be _frustrating_, filling
you with _depression_ and _dejection_ and
_despair_.
Does it even pay enough _money_?
This _employment_ is easy, but it has
_inadequate_ _income_ and you can feel yourself
atrophying and becoming _sluggish_ from
lack of personal growth.
### Intervention - 8 Of Trumps, Strength
So here's the intervention: _strength_.
Will you be _assured_ and _brave_ enough to quit?
Do you have the _confidence_ and _dynamism_?
You'll need new income source?
The _instability_ and _longing_ may end if you are
_optimistic_ about the future and _sacrifice_
comfort now, for _stamina_ and _vigour_ later.
### Influence - 13 Of Wands, Queen
One influence on your decision will be your
lover, the queen of wands.
They are _confident_ and _enthusiastic_
about your change of career.
They are _flamboyantly_ and _forthright_,
so not afraid to say so either.
They are _unbridled_ and _nuanced_,
as they wax _lyrical_ about your new career.
It's clear they want the best for you.
### Obstacles - 14 Of Pentacles, King
The Obstacle your current boss:
_entrepreneurial_ and _corporate_,
he's a _billionaire_ _businessman_
who is _disciplined_ and _knowledgeable_.
He is _trustworthy_ and _skilled_,
it's certainly harder to leave a job with a
good _proficient_ and _reputable_ boss.
But he wants what is good for his company.
### Outcome - 11 Of Pentacles, Page
If you find the strength to quit,
you will become an _apprentice_
learning to do _crafty_ things,
or a _banker_ doing _bookish_ things,
or a _businessman_ doing _enterprising_ things.
You will be a _professional_,
get _promotions_ and be a
_respectful_, _skillful_ _worker_.
The Page that you will become is a _workaholic_,
_studious_ and _focused_.
### Summary
The current job is pretty easy, you aren't stressed
or stretched. You love the boss and the people,
have friends and good camaraderie.
But you are worried for the future of the company,
and your own future if you don't stretch yourself.
If you listen to your lover who wants the best for you,
instead of your boss who wants the best for his business,
you do indeed have the strength to quit and learn new
things and become a better professional.
If you want to be the page, you need to find
the strength to do as your lover suggests,
not stay comfortable in the same lazy routine.
Good luck!
When you are quitting, do mention our Kick starter
to your ex-boss, and buy yourself a deck of the
new Happytoast Word Cloud Tarot decks this November.

How The Tarot Works - The Word Cloud Tarot Show 14th November 2022
Have you ever wondered, how does the #tarot work?
This month WordcloudTarot and HappyToast are launching a New Deck: the Happy Toast deck.
The easiest one to learn ever. The meanings are written on the cards.
In celebration here's a five minute instructional video in which we do a tarot reading to ask the tarot how the tarot works.
### Past - 6 Of Swords, Science
Over history, the cards have come to
represent a clear collection of concepts,
an amalgamation of all the memes and
discoveries and theories
that are innate to the biology of human minds.
They have been chosen and evolved to represent
a good rational, logical, and scientific spread
of the all memes, all theories and all thinking
that there has ever been.
They are a wide and well chosen representation
of a range of ideas from the collective unconscious.
### Hidden Influence - 8 Of Trumps, Strength
Hidden behind a reading is always the strength
of the will of the reader and querent
Their beliefs, their confidence, and
the perseverance of their optimism and will
impose meaning,
We bring our own preconceived ideas to the reading.
And impose them with strength of will.
### External Influence - 13 Of Trumps, Death
The external influence here looks scary. Death!
But it just means the death of those preconceived
ideas that we bring to the reading.
The cards will not fall in a way which fits our priors.
That external reality will break our own preconceived ideas,
leaving them for dead,
it'll force a change, an awakening and the rebirth of new ideas.
The old narratives we had in our head are collapsed,
and are metamorphosed into a new narrative,
born in its place.
### Present - 10 Of Wands, Oppression
The random mix of well selected ideas,
The strength of will we bring ourselves,
And the forced death of old ideas
makes us come up with new ones,
But they oppressed to fit a narrative.
They channel our thoughts into a new story.
The story is entrapped by
the flow of need and tension,
and the onus and duty and will of the characters.
We are writing that story,
so we can oppress it until it makes sense.
### Outcome - 1 Of Cups, Ace
The result is a brand new story,
that is engaging and emotional,
that has resonance and meaning.
They sound even clairvoyant, holy.
They feel instinctively representative and
true and sexy because they were created in
our own minds
It will sound true and real to us,
because it is us that oppressed the narrative
to make it sound true and real.
### Summary
A well chosen set of memes,
and the hidden strength of the will of the querent,
faced with the death of preconceived ideas
forces the birth of new ones,
which are constrained and oppressed
to produce emotional and believable stories,
which can even help reveal previously hidden insight.
And how the hell do you learn what each of those well chosen memes are?
Why not buy a pack with crib notes built in

Will there be a nuclear war before our kick-starter ends? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 3 Nov 2022
We released our #kickstarter for a new #tarot deck this week, while headlines in newspapers speak of building up a stock of #nuclear weapons around #Russia.
So we ask the important question of the moment: Will there be a #nuclear war before our kickstarter ends?
### Best Hope - 11 Of Cups, Page
We hope for a leader who is clever and cogent of
the situations. An articulate and astute plan
that is nuanced and responsive and sensitive
and calming.
We should hope for de-escalation.
Lets see if we have that.
### History - 8 Of Wands, Swiftness
Instead we just have accelerating escalation,
a dreadful rush towards inevitability,
the _manifestation_of the portents, the
immantising of the echelon.
This is MAD.
But the history the world has chosen,
is to have a deterrent strategy.
### External - 5 Of Cups, Disappoint
So we are full of anguish and bereavement
and betrayal, the external world is in
calamity, and we are all feeling despondent and
helpless.
It's clear our leaders are failing us, in all
the countries, all kinds of ways.
### Internal - 10 Of Cups, Satiety
Inside we have had enough.
We feel like it's an emergency and the emotions
are running high. There's hazards and instability
everywhere. The axis is misaligned.
They are using _threats_and surveillance
not just against Russia,
but against us all.
We should have bliss and contentment
and assurance,
a guarantee of harmony and joy.
But instead the newspapers are filling us
with emergency, and threats.
Have you had enough?
### Waning - 7 Of Wands, Valour
If you decide upon the strategy of using a deterrent,
you have to advertise the fact. The story must be in
the newspapers as surely as a cobra
evolves a display hood.
So you get all this bravado. Valour.
But foolhardy valiant confrontation has
consequences. Advertising a deterrent is
inherently esclatory.
There is a risk that fearlessness
leads to battle.
But perhaps this is becoming less important.
### Waxing - 13 Of Trumps, Death
Instead, growing more important, is death.
Oh dear.
It's well know that the card really means, change.
An ending, even a failure, but mortality
is not the only outcome with loss.
Breaking of the old can cause the new.
It's a cliffhanger.
Which way will it go?
End the tensions? Or end the life?
### You, Now - 13 Of Wands, Queen
It's upside down.
That's not supposed to happen.
I take active steps to avoid that.
Some believe if a card turns upside down then,
it reverses the meaning,
but I dislike a messy deck of 50/50 coin-flips.
The queen of wands is amazing,
she is confident and creative
and erotic and powerful and free.
My heroine.
She's fresh and inquisitive and
independent.
Do you feel that way? Or the opposite?
Do we take the card being upside down seriously?
Perhaps things could flip easily either way.
The cliffhanger continues.
### Obstacles - 10 Of Pentacles, Wealth
What stops us?
Oh, it's the economy. The capital again.
The establishment and their inherited wealth,
they look after their friends and flourish.
While we are at risk, their policies and
pensions are the only important thing.
### Outcome - 8 Of Trumps, Strength
Reports of upgraded nukes are a show of strength.
Lumbering powerful military intelligences flexing,
in each other's faces to get each other to back down.
But these risky cliff-hangers have a downside,
If we want the calming de-escalatory plan
We need to show gentleness and empathy
and trust, but also ensure it's our
public strength which is expressed, not
the bravado.
### Summary
That upside down card, and the ambiguity "cliffhanger"
nature of the death card, gives us a reading showing
two worlds not quite resolved. A superposition.
Our best hope is calm de-escalation,
but instead our policy is swiftness,
MAD and deterrence.
All the world's leaders are clearing failing us,
and we have had enough.
The trouble is they have to show bravado.
If you have a deterrent, you must advertise it,
and that is itself escalatory.
So it becomes a gamble between
the two meanings of the card Death.
So the world feels topsy tervy.
You're fine, but also the opposite.
It could go either way.
The concentration of wealth and prevents any
real change And so we better hope their show
of strength works.
Because there's already been enough death and
we really want this kickstarter to be a success
before the war comes and kills us all.
So come support us at wordcloudtarot.com,
you might as well do it early, we might not
make it through the month. Cards reckon it
could go either way.

HappyToast deck launched: What Is Kickstarter? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 31st Oct 2022
What Is Kickstarter? - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 31st Oct 2022
The day is finally here, we are happy to announce
the launch of the HappyToast deck by HappyToast
and #Wordcloud #tarot. The #kickstarter is open!
To celebrate, Adam does a reading answering
a question asked by is mum: What is a kickstarter?
### Past - 7 Of Swords, Futility
Once upon a time if an artist had a new bit of work,
or a engineer had an idea for a new project,
there was little they could do.
Releasing it was _futile_, a _Sisyphean_ task
of _defeat_ and _delusion_.
The art patron and venture capitalist scenes are full of
_chicanery_ and _dishonesty_ and _irresponsibility_.
No wonder artists were full of _cynicism_ and _ineffective_
_lazy_ _sophistry_.
### Hidden Influence - 7 Of Wands, Valour
But behind the scenes, hidden, there lie an audience of
_audacious_ and _bold_ supporters
who are _fearless_ and _courageous_.
They have _honour_ and will
face many _hurdles_ and _impediments_
to help support the art they love
if only they had the opportunity.
### External Influence - 11 Of Swords, Page
Then, onto the world comes the page of swords.
It is Perry Chen!
He is _affable_ and _analytical_ and _impatient_.
He's _logical_ and _technical_ and
_disdainful_ of the status quo.
He is _observant_ and _practical_ and
he can see a way to guide the valorous audience
through the maze of futility!
He started Kick-starter.
### Present - 9 Of Pentacles, Gain
Now that Kickstarter exists,
artists can finally _gain_
and _delight_ their audiences
who get _assurance_ and
_bountiful_ _incentives_.
The artist can use kickstarter to
gather a _diverse_ set of patrons,
offer them _perks_ for the _support_
that they are _delighted_ to give.
There is a _plethora_ of _opportunity_,
a _durable_ and _exciting_ way to
connect those valorous fans with the artist
and cut that Sisyphean futile wasted effort.
If a project is successful,
the audience and the artist can gain!
### Outcome - 14 Of Cups, King
Which means that finally
artists can be _expressive_, can _communicate_
their _esoteric_ and _evocative_ ideas to a
_faithful_ and _generous_ audience
who are _thankful_ for the work and
_gracious_ enough want to be supportive.
### Summary
Connecting with an audience and allowing them to fund a project
into life used to be a difficult and _failure_-prone task,
Even when there was a _valorous_ audience,
they were hidden and unable to express their support.
But _page of swords_ Perry Chen was observant,
technical, and practical enough to create kickstarter
it allows audiences to pledge to support a project,
which can then reward the creator for making it,
a _gain_ for both.
Now it exists, you can be as gracious and
faithful as the _king of cups_,
and support our kick-starter during this month!
So do like and follow and share,
but also visit the kickstarter
pledge, and support the art.
You can be as cool as the King of Cups

Yet Another Tory Leader - The Word Cloud Tarot Show - 20 Oct 2022
The #uk is collapsing, the #conservative #pm has resigned, the country is in #chaos and so the Tory MPs are trying to pick a new leader again.
Will they do any better this time?
What is happening?
Adam comes back off holiday a bit early with a prematurely-released new show-format to do a five minute #tarot reading on fuck me yet another new #tory #leadership #election.
### SignificatorA - 14 Of Cups, King
Our first candidate is the King of Cups,
a calm and communicative man, he's
portrayed as generous and knowledgeable
and _reasonable_.
He's the competent choice, intellectual and
trustworthy_, _thoughtful and mild
So I guess that's Sunak?
### SignificatorB - 10 Of Trumps, Fortune
Candidate B is _fortune_, a wild roll of the dice,
the crazy candidate that might be an
apocalyptic abyss_ or might be inevitable
destiny_, our _fate as a country.
A reincarnation of a prior _demise_, the
wheel of fortune rolling on.
That has to be Boris.
### SignificatorC - 12 Of Trumps, Hangedman
Candidate C is the Hanged Man. A unwilling and
uncomprehending capitulation to crisis
who was ceded power only after the _denouncement_.
He's the stooge put up so the guilty could escape
punishment.
So that'll be Jeremy Hunt then.
### IssuesA - 9 Of Pentacles, Gain
What is the trouble with Sunak?
His life has been comfortable and _blessed_, he is
a billionaire with a bountiful future whatever happens.
He will be content and cushioned and his earnings
durability is assured.
So ther is a guarantee of happiness and
laughter and perks but probably not for everyone.
Only for him. Only the capital.
### IssuesB - 21 Of Trumps, Universe
The trouble with Bojo is that he promises the universe
and achieves little. His promises the earth_, the _moon
the galaxy_, he promises _potential but in fact never delivers
anything but circular lies.
### IssuesC - 11 Of Cups, Page
The trouble with Hunt is that while he's
articulate and boyish and _calming_,
it's all _aesthetic_.
He is only in place because he is opportunistic and
a _team-worker_.
In the end is he just a page.
Not a king. Not a chancellor.
Not even really a health minister.
Just a calming and eager _idealist_,
too nuanced to be appealing.
### Result - 12 Of Cups, Knight
So the result?
We are looking for an artist who is also a _bard_, and
a calm_, _charming and comforting _dreamer_.
A rationalist and _realist_,
a selfless soothing thinker
who is tolerant and _whimsical_.
It doesn't really sound like any of them.
Just as equally wrong for them all.
Could it be Starmer?
He is an actual Knight,
Which is still a thing, in this day and age,
in a grown up country apparently.
Could the cards be suggesting that
the UK will soon have Starmer as it's leader?
If you think that'll be any better.
### Summary
Sunak is a rich man out of touch whose
life of riches has not equipped him to
understand real life.
Bojo is an outside shot, a roll of the dice,
trying to be leader of a conservative party.
He promises the universe, but he lies.
Hunt is only there by mistake, a sacrificial lamb,
he's just massively out of his depth like
a little page.
None of these people are what the UK needs,
they need an actual knight, maybe an actual Sir?
So the next Tory leader will be Starmer!
We'll have a Starmer flavoured blend of conservatism.
If you like these cards and want to do your own
reading, tough.
You can't buy 'em yet.
We've come out of break early for a leadership special.
There's a kickstarter starting in just ten days
and lasting all through November.
Coma back when there's a new prime minster and
support us then!
Subscribe to be reminded.
