Did I tell you I used to read Tarot?

You are the Fool card. The Fool fearlessly begins
the journey into the unknown. To do this, he
does not regard the world he knows as firm and
fixed. He has a seemingly reckless disregard
for obstacles. In the Ryder-Waite deck, he is
seen stepping off a cliff with his gaze on the
sky, and a rainbow is there to catch him. In
order to explore and expand, one must disregard
convention and conformity. Those in the throes
of convention look at the unconventional,
non-conformist personality and think What a
fool. They lack the point of view to understand
The Fool's actions. But The Fool has roots in
tradition as one who is closest to the spirit
world. In many tribal cultures, those born with
strange and unusual character traits were held
in awe. Shamans were people who could see
visions and go on journeys that we now label
hallucinations and schizophrenia. Those with
physical differences had experience and
knowledge that the average person could not
understand. The Fool is God. The number of the
card is zero, which when drawn is a perfect
circle. This circle represents both emptiness
and infinity. The Fool is not shackled by
mountains and valleys or by his physical body.
He does not accept the appearance of cliff and
air as being distinct or real. Image from: Mary

Did you? What deck?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

It was before the days of proliferating designs, so a fairly plain classic design - the Lombardy Tarot, if fading memory serves.

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

"Fading memory"? ;) I thought it was me that was old & decrepit...

Quite similar to the Swiss 1JJ I used to favour.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Hell, as Lloyd Cole puts it, "Halfway between mother and maker am I" , so I'm practically entitled to "senior moments".

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

:-)

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

I am The Fool too.

And I used to/still read Tarot. If someone can talk me into it. I only do the Celtic Cross y'see, and it takes a long time to do a proper reading...and I want to get distracted before it is done.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I stopped doing it because I was embarrassed to know that much about friends (or know it consciously, at any rate) and not interested in knowing that much about strangers.

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

*g*

I can understand that.
I only do it for people with whom I'd not be embarrassed.

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

I would love to have you read for me. I don't think embarrassment would be a factor!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Hmm, never tried it with anyone who wasn't sitting beside me... I wonder if a Celtic Cross would work over the internet... Hmm...

[morgaine-x.livejournal.com]

One can but try...
Via IM, possibly? Give it some thought & come back to me...

(BTW, you been leaving anony-mouse comments about my quiz plans?)

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

I think that doing all these memes will rot your brain into emptiness and infinity.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Can't... understand .... what .... you... mean....

Ooh! Pretty flowers!

(I can give them up any time I want, you know)

Just the one comment, and only an accidental moose.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Now I'm anonymous in my own journal! This is getting out of hand...

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

I think I'd enjoy that as well. When we meet then. For I don't think I can do it without you choosing the cards by touch and whim.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

...and I don't think it would work without you touching the cards first, or me being able to look you in the eye, so to speak.

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the visual clues are very important. :)

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I actually came to think that they were everything - and that the cards gave my subconscious a tool for expressing the information I was gathering subliminally.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Speaking to Frankie last night - she asked if you'd mentioned the cats, and I said no apart from the thing about the Yorkshire Terrier, the pound of mince and the bowling ball.

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

heh heh
not far off
really not much to report, except Foxtrot performing a technicolored yawn all over their nice white sofa, but they know that already...

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Ah, white sofa, black cat - never a good idea.

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

I don't know: I'm guessing semi-digested acanthus leaves tend to make a disgusting mess no matter what color your fur.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Which is why I have a tasteful blue-green sofa...
