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. https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/2024-08-06-northernrioting/ #ukpol #tarot #riots #fascism

Today is Tuesday the 16th of July and this weekend someone failed to shoot the American presidential candidate Donald Trump. @pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to investigate and finds that the shooter was an idealistic fantasist trying to save democracy but was thwarted by misalignment and law enforcement. #uspol #tarot #assassination #trump https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/2024-07-16-trumpsattemptedassassination/

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. https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/2024-06-25-isfarageright/ #ukpol #farage #tarot #putin

Surprisingly, the lawyer will lead reasonably and humanely. Transcript etc: http://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/2024-06-04-theukelection/

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.

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. *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 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. ### End That's what the cards tell me anyway.

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.

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? @pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to investigate and finds that the privatisation was supposed to bring investment, but instead crafty conservative businessmen and irresponsible financial government conspired to drain the capital from the company through loans, leaving the company in strife and debt, the outcome will be a bail-out for the company's rich shareholders, and a stronger capital class. Transcript 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. ### End You can get a deck to see what the cards tell you from wordcloud tarot dot com There you can also join the mail-list to be notified of new episodes, or you can follow us on fedi at @wordcloudtarot@wordcloudtarot.com or on Peertube at @wordcloudtarot@dalliance.network.

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. --- ## Transcript 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. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

This week #LeeAnderson was finally kicked out of #uk #government for saying that Britain is controlled by #Islamists. @pre@boing.world does a 5 minute #tarot reading to find out the truth: That hidden forces of the establishment prudently used brash stupid Anderson to satisfy their racist voters, but this failed, and the country will eventually see through their manipulations. We will end this government, and the country can have a new dawn. Click below to watch the show. ### Past - 12 Of Swords, Knight So here is 30p Lee, he's _opinionated_, _abrupt_ and _impetuous_ . He's _egotistical_ _outspoken_ and _aggressive_ even though he's _zealous_ _haphazard_, _unwise_, _thoughtless_ , _sarcastic_, and _hasty_. What a character eh? ### Hidden Influence - 10 Of Pentacles, Wealth Hidden in the background of course is the _government_, the _institutions_ of the _establishment_. the _hereditary_ _heirs_ with privilege _friends_ and _relatives_ in high places. The _wealth_. ### External Influence - 8 Of Pentacles, Prudence These hidden characters in charge have found it _prudent_ to put Anderson in place. They made him a kind of _apprentice_ , gave him an _internship_ in government to try and _engage_ with working class voters and _focus_ their _attention_ and _engagement_ away from the _hoarding_ and _money_ _debt_. ### Present - 10 Of Cups, Satiety And this was working okay for them, Lee ranted his racism and voters were _satisfied_, their racist demands _satiated_ by Lee's antics and the powers were _content_ it was working for them. Until the _emergency_ _realization_ that he'd gone too far, the _instability_ _threatened_ their _assurance_ of power. Anderson must go, to _stabilize_ their _security_. ### Outcome - 19 Of Trumps, Sun And this is the outcome of their games, the clear light of dawn, the people's _scepticism_ finally _awakening_ them to the _realization_ that we are governed by crooks. This government will fall, the wheel of _fortune_ will turn and _power_ will shift, the country can finally return to _confident_ _optimism_, _prosperity_ , _opportunity_ , _comfort_ and _excitement_ . When we kick these bastards out. ### Summary Brash and idiotic Lee was taken by the hidden forces of the government and prudently used as a distraction to satisfy the racist voters, but eventually he was too brash and stupid even for them. Soon, this government will fall, giving the country a chance for a new dawn. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

This week after some children lured another child offline into meat-space so they could kill her, the world has been asking if we should ban #kids from mobile #phones. @pre@boing.world does a five minute #tarot reading to ask if the intervention would be good or useful. We find that kids have always been debauched glutons and that now they are also miserable because their future looks terrible, it may feel intuitive to blame the phones and take them away but it's a gamble if that even help, and even if it would it can't work legally or technologically because the kids understand their phone better than their parents do anyway, they are like little magicians with technology. ### Past - 7 Of Cups, Debauch Through all of history, the children have been _debauched_ _hedonistic_ _gluttons_ on _drugs_. They are _depraved_ and _bewildered_, _lazy_ and _deluded_, filled with _misunderstanding_, _ignorance_ and _confusion_ . Kids eh? It was ever thus. ### Present - 8 Of Cups, Indolence But these days, they're not only debauched but also _indolent_. They are _dispirited_ and _dejected_, _disheartened_ and _sorrowful_. They are filled with _cynicism_ and _morose_ _haunting_ _sadness_. _pensive_ and _apathetic_. Why? ### Future - 11 Of Wands, Page Well, look at their future. We have broken _nature_, with _frivolous_ _nihilist_ _carelessness_. We've been _hotheaded_ and _rash_, burning all the oil in a _debauched_ and _dangerous_ _fervour_, against _scientific_ advice. Their future looks like the Page of Wands, _despairing_ and _dreadful_ ### Intervention - 2 Of Trumps, Priestess The intervention suggested is the _intuitive_ one, they learn of their difficult future through the phone so let's take the phone away! It's just _scrying_ _divination_ is the trouble, the _spiritual_ way to handle a problem which treats _truth_ as a _arcane_ _occult_ thing, a _mystery_. It's a knee-jerk _emotional_ response. But say we did it anyway, what then? ### Influence - 1 Of Swords, Ace Influences at action: * The _judiciary_. Kids aren't _criminals_ and this is a _democracy_ with some kind of _civil_ _justice_ rule of _law_. Does the state even have the right to tell a parent what they must do with their child's phone? The teens would feel it as _injustice_ for sure. * There's also the _tech_ industry, and the _reality_ of _advancements_. Would a single country do well to take it's kids phones while the rest of the world taught them how to use them at an early age? * Not to mention the child's own _will_, their _technological_ _sharpness_ and _inspired_ _creativity_. Black market phones are as cheap as drugs. ### Obstacles - 10 Of Trumps, Fortune The card of _fortune_ here tells us that it would be a _gamble_ over whether it would even has the desired effects. Some kids are bullied online, but others find solace there. There is a _wheel_ of _affect_ here, _death_ and _doom_ for some but _victory_ and _riches_ and _opportunity_ for others. Would it even be good? On average? That's a toss-up at best, do you feel _lucky_? ### Outcome - 1 Of Trumps, Magician The final outcome of course would be that the kids are _magicians_ with _technology_ . They have _perseverance_ and _energy_ , the _resourcefulness_ and _ingenuity_, _originality_ _creativity_ _proficiency_ and _adaptability_, and are skilled with _telecommunications_ _systems_ How are you gonna ban the kids from the phones when the parents can't get past the install-screen without the kid's help? ### Summary The kids have always been headonistic glutons on drugs and now they're also indolent and disheartened too but that's because their very future is insurmountable and dreadful not because they have a communications tool. So sure, we can try the intervention that feels intuitive, but it's against humanity and creativity and the influence of law and tech industry, it's a toss up if it would even work, and anyway the kids are magicians with tech, They are better at computers than their parents Shielding them from it can't teach them to use it. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

It's nearly #christmas so @pre@boing.world does a #tarot reading to figure out what to #gift everyone for #xmas #giftIdeas ### Earth/Mother - 14 Of Trumps, Temperence The Earth card may be Mother Earth, so your mum, or someone else caring and nurturing and wise. Temperance is about _balance_ and _humility_ and _love_, so get her something good. Maybe some _natural_ _beauty_ products, or _harmony_ and _synthesis_ suggest maybe some music? _teamwork_ and _discipline_ may suggest a board-game that you could play together as a family, or _alchemy_ and _tranquillity_? Perhaps some Valium for _sanity_ and _fortitude_ . ### Water/Sibling - 12 Of Cups, Knight The Water card may be a sibling, or perhaps someone else who is cooperative, reflective and authentic. Perhaps they are _tourist_ or _wanderer_ and you could buy them a holiday. Or something to take on holiday like a beach-towel. Take them to a gig to see a _bard_ Or some _gorgeous_, _inspired_ and _beautiful_ art-works to help them as an _artist_ . You could buy them something _whimsical_ like a joke from a toy-shop Or just some _magnificent_ and _splendid_ clothes. ### Air/Father - 10 Of Trumps, Fortune The Air card could be a father figure, or someone progressive, independent and curious. _Gambling_ and _fortune_ are here, perhaps a card-game? Or take them on a visit to a casino. We have _revolution_, _periods_, _wheels_ and _cycles_ Perhaps he would like a new bicycle or one of those electric scooters they have nowadays. Did you know you can just go to a _market_ and buy an _award_ ? A trophy for "Best Father" perhaps? The card also represent _riches_ so you can always just put some money in a card. ### Fire/Lover - 3 Of Cups, Abundance The Fire card could be your lover, or someone passionate and enthusiastic and creative. _Abundance_ means you should get a _plethora_ of things. A _profusion_ of gifts is a good way to hedge against a bad one. A _romantic_ holiday away, and a _innovative_ _ingenious_ gadget and a _artistic_ gift like a painting or sculpture and a _festival_ ticket so they have something to look forward to in the summer? Really the best thing you can give is the _love_, _affection_ and _adoration_ that can support them through meeting your family. Or maybe just an _apple_. It's the thought that counts. ### Spirit/Self - 8 Of Swords, Interference And of course you can get yourself a little something, or it could be for someone outside the family. Christmas can be good, or for some it can be an _obligation_ that feels like a _prison_, or you may be _lonely_ and the _solitude_ can lead to _alienation_ that feels like a _punishment_. Even if you're happy and together, there is sure be be some _obstacles_ and _failure_ that _sabotages_ the holiday. So remember not to _sabotage_ yourself, _satisfy_ your own needs, and _reward_ with something you like. Maybe a Word Cloud Tarot deck? ### Summary Whether you're buying your mum some Valium or your sibling a holiday, or your father a lottery ticket, or your lover just about everything, try not to sabotage your own holidays, and remember to take care of yourself. Or just buy everyone a Wordcloud Tarot deck.

This week the #uk government had a staffing #reshuffle. @pre@boing.world does a 5 minute #tarot reading to find out why and we see that the government's uneasy truce was broken when a hateful bondage queen tried to provoke the indolent hard right into a riot at a peace march on remembrance day. This is too much for even the Tories, so there will have to be a change of tone, to something more temperate, but nothing too radical. With a callback to a season one Brexit character. #braverman #cameron #sunak ### Past - 10 Of Cups, Satiety This card means _satisfaction_ but every card also means it's opposite. Here there is also a _sadness_ and _instability_, _security_ and _surveillance_ _threats_ there can be _rigidity_ of _policy_ and a _misalignment_ of _harmonies_ Perhaps until this week the Prime Minister was satisfied with his team? They had _safety_ and _strength_ and _stability_ even if that's gained through _enforcement_. So until now, there was a balance and a _satiety_, but it may have been uncomfortable. ### Hidden Influence - 13 Of Wands, Queen This one describes a _ruler_ a _confident_, _exuberant_ , _lively_ _spirited_ _independent_ _feminist_, perhaps too _forthright_ and _unbridled_ but also a _flamboyant_ _dominatrix_ with a _bondage_ _fetish_ that likes hurting people. The hidden element is a femme _fatale_ that was the cause of the break in satiety. ### External Influence - 8 Of Cups, Indolence And here's her method: _Alienation_ The fascist right counter-protestors. They are filled with _dismay_ and _sorrow_ feeling _hostility_ because of their _ignorance_ and the _indifferent_ _cynicism_ of government to their plight. They feel the _consequence_ of Tory policy, and it is _despair_ _malaise_ and _sadness_ They have pathetic hate-filled lives of _hopeless_ _discouragement_ until a minister for _bondage_ whips them up into an indolent hate-frenzy over a peace march. Makes them feel listened to and gives them someone to blame. She tells them it's *their* fault, *those* people caused the _disheartened_ _dejection_ you are feeling, not our policy of austerity and privatising everything. Just co-incidentally, she points at her political enemies. It's their fault: The peace-makers. So we have a _bewildered_ _irritable_ _indolent_ hate mob as the external influence. ### Present - 2 Of Pentacles, Change Well, attempting to provoke a hard-right riot at a peace-march on remembrance day turns out to be too much for Rishi, so it's all _change_. A _shift_ in _partnerships_, an _adjustment_ in _prioritisation_ and a _revolution_ of staffing. The government is going to be like a _butterfly_, emerging from a _chrysalis_ , re-born anew yet-again like they do every year. It's a re-shuffle! And talk about _progressive_ _innovation_ ! One of the new ministers isn't even an MP! They had to make him a lord in an emergency-ennoblement. ### Outcome - 14 Of Trumps, Temperance I mean, not *too* progressive and different obviously. Just more _temperate_. The emergency-ennoblement went to ex-prime-minister David Cameron. Which is more like a hate-butterfly climbing back into the chrysalis and re-emerging as a caterpillar but _temperance_ , as I say. They will still have the war on the woke, just now tempered down to the minister for common sense to wage instead of the actual home-office. Hopefully nobody will feel the need to try and drum up a riot for common sense. There will be some _civility_ and _balance_ , some _restraint_ , maybe a _truce_. They will at least _rename_ the _conflict_ for a while, show some _humility_ . ### Summary A kind of uneasy-truce left the government _satisfied_, until the _bondage_ _queen_ grew too hateful and tried to provoke the _indolent_ hard right into a riot at a peace march on remembrance day. Too much even for the Tories, this leads to _change_ and a new _temperance_ in the party which will now emphasise more silly things like common sense against woke instead of trying to provoke the country into a race riot. At least until after the election, surely? Can they hold it together that long? And if they don't feed off of hate, what have they got? Old pig-face back from having his trotters up? A minister for common sense? I mean come on. We used to be a real country. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

This week Suella #Braverman the #UK home secretary has seen all the people forced to live out on the streets in #tents, so she has decided to fix the problem by banning their tents. @pre@boing.world does a five minute #tarot reading on that and finds the country was once actually very prosperous and generous, until a bunch of drunken rapacious crooks took charge and turned everything to death. Take heart, that at least may soon change! ### Past - 3 Of Cups, Abundance The country used to be rich. We had _opportunity_ and so _growth_ The county's _inventiveness_ and _organization_ skills led to _success_ and so _abundance_ and _gratitude_, a _giving_ mindset of _hope_! This leads to _education_ and _development_ and _generosity_, to improving _community_, to better _society_, more _friendship_ and _outreach_. The country had _laughter_ and _love_ and _camaraderie_ A real _social_ contract. ### Hidden Influence - 12 Of Pentacles, Knight And the people of the country! They were _fortuitous_ and knew it, so they were also _generous_ . A _determined_ and _enterprising_ people, who knew that those who had _advantage_ should be _magnanimous_, _equanimous_ _benevolent_ and _patient_ . The people are _learned_ _contemplative_ and _educated_ , _knightly_ even. _dutiful_ and _meticulous_ , _caring_. The people would not take away a homeless man's tent! So what happened? ### External Influence - 14 Of Wands, King Ah of course. The _leaders_. _rich_ _drunken_ _rapacious_ _devourers_, a _ravenous_ _opportunistic_ _sovereign_ government. Look at the _swagger_ of these self _assured_ neo-_liberal_ _charismatic_ _villains_. _unfortunately_ we _empowered_ _cynical_ _pessimist_ _adversaries_. They think to keep us _motivated_, so they can rob us more, they need us in _hardship_ . To keep us _industrious_ they try to make us scared and fight each other. ### Present - 13 Of Trumps, Death And this is what's left when they have drained the country of it's abundance and life: Death. To hold on to their gains they need to keep us loaded with _problems_ and thinking about _mortality_ and _death_ and _endings_, on the edge of _breaking_ point always one step away from the _tomb_. They need to _ostracise_ and monster some minority of us, to keep us turning on each other like rats in a cage. The tents are just _symbolic_ for Braverman, she will not have to sleep in one, or evict someone from one, they are just a way to keep us angry fighting and _injured_ and on the edge of _death_. But this card means more. Endings are also beginnings. We can _awaken_, become _enlightened_, bring _change_ and _transformation_ in society. This can be the death of their ghoulish manipulations, their last final desperate attempt to make us fight each other. ### Outcome - 2 Of Pentacles, Change Change can come! This desperate bunch of drunken crooks can be kicked out, and we can have a totally different set of more mild mannered crooks. I mean sure, the next lot still always go on about _money_ and _balancing_ _prioritisations_ and _investment_ _partnerships_ with _start-up_ _entrepreneurs_. But they might at least not be so viciously terribly theatrically performativity cruel. Maybe the _opposition_ will actually do some _new_ _buildings_ instead of just blaming defenceless immigrants or homeless people while they drunkenly loot the palace? Will that make any _difference_ ? It might at least reduce the _radicalisation_ and _polarization_ that the current lot deliberately provoke. But you know, it's all just _cycles_ ### Summary The country had plenty of wealth, and a good natured and generous people, until these drunken crooks came to rob the place, distracting us by making us fight each other while they turn the country to death. But change is coming. At least in tone. Labour won't solve homelessness but they probably at least won't blame the homeless. That's what the cards tell me. Wanna find out what they tell you?

This week Hamas terrorists escaped Gaza to murder hundreds of Israeli citizens. @pre@boing.world does a five minute tarot reading to examine the issue and finds that force and violent oppression can lead to temporary victory, but bigoted tribal nationalist and racist religious wars are based upon falsehoods. They can only lead to cycles of revenge-violence, cruelty, horror and oppression for all the people everywhere. Sadly there is no sign of the world raising it's levels of consciousness just yet, so the cruelty and revenge will continue until science and understanding can bring about change. ### Past - 7 Of Trumps, Chariot Before I was born, in the 60s, Israel was threatened and seized The Golan Heights, The West Bank, The Sinai Peninsula and The Gaza Strip. There was an _opportunity_ , an _aspiration_, and with _urgent_ _impetus_ their _military_ _pursued_ their _enemy_ and _forced_ their own _power_ and _will_ upon those places. With great _zeal_ and _momentum_, against _expectation_, they just _achieved_ _control_ They _triumphed_ ### Present - 6 Of Wands, Victory They have _victory_, they _won_, they are the _rulers_, they have the _influence_, they set the _priorities_, their _will_ be done. Though that may be _overshadowed_, as they are also gaining _notoriety_ because of the cruelty of their _rule_ and the fact their _ongoing_ and _continuing_ occupation is a _recognised_ war-crime. Because of the glass-table we know what the next card is, and so where this kind of "victory" leads. ### External Influence - 2 Of Pentacles, Change All things are temporary, even victory. _Change_ is of course inevitable. Oppressive power does not stop _conflict_. The _problem_ is that of _revolution_, there is still _flux_, still a _conflict_, the people are _polarized_ and power is _unbalanced_. There are oppressed people who need _freedom_, they have _resilience_ and they will have a _radical_ _responses_ as they _endeavour_ to _build_ There is always violent _opposition_ to the use of force. And this change is just _cyclic_, just eye for eye a bomb for a bomb, a death for a death. We have the glass table, we know where this leads. Can anything stop it? ### Hidden Influence - 6 Of Swords, Science Well, there is this one. The six of Swords: Science. The use of _evidence_ and _reasoning_ and _transparency_ of _investigation_, finding _rational_ answers. You see all the long tendrils of violence spanning back though the 60 and the 40s and all the centuries, is based on lies. There are no chosen people, there is no manifest destiny, all religions are false, no race is better than any other, racism has been investigated and it is a lie, it is wrong, there aren't even actually any countries, people made them up! The bigotry and hatred that fuels this violence is just WRONG, factually incorrect, revenge-missiles and revenge-sieges and ending violence with violence have been tried. They do not work. That is just Science. If we learn to think with _clarity_ and _wisdom_, we can _transition_ into a higher level of consciousness, a _transformation_ of understanding, We'd have public have calls for _peace_ and _calm_ instead of more and more wars. So what are the chances? Has there been process? What does that "Future" card say? ### Outcome - 9 Of Swords, Cruelty Well, yeah. Glass table. We already know. There will be _revenge_ _attacks_ _pain_ and _desperation_, _heartache_, _sorrow_ It will be a _gloomy_ _nightmare_ with cycles of _cruel_ _savage_ _slaughter_, the _assaulting_ and _tormenting_ of _victims_. Gaza will be an open-air _prison_ with _grief_, _agony_, _fear_, _misery_ and _inhuman_ _mistreatment_ of people that _brutalizes_ them until they in turn get _violent_ about *their* _injustice_. The _barbarians_ on every side will continue in their _treachery_ and _deception_, using _terror_ against each other until we as a species realize that that can't work. ### Summary All of my whole life Israel has been occupying Gaza, they had the power and the will so they took it Just Drove in with their chariot. They have victory, they have won, and yet they still oppressed their subjugated people. Blockaded them. Occupied them. Murdered them. Change always comes, an action will have a reaction, brutalized people will react brutally. And the thing is, everything they're fighting over, the religion and racism and bigotry and revenge is not true. No religions are true. Racism is not true. Bigotry is not true. Countries are not god-given. Tribes are all made of people. And most people know that by now. Science and logic and rationality are here in the background, influencing things slowly. But... Too slowly. There will be more cruelty, more violence, more brutalizing people and lots of pain and death before people realize that can't work. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

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. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/
