@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
