The Magician

posted by Matthew
Filed Under: Aspect Spotlight series, Mechanics, Tarot, The Game

The Magician is the symbol of decisive, creative power. They’re swift action, impossible goals, creativity, and willpower.

The Magician is what the Fool turns into if they live long enough to make it to adulthood. They gain a crown—the infinity sign—indicating the endless path of knowledge. They gain a table…

The Fool

Filed Under: Aspect Spotlight series, Mechanics, Tarot, The Game

The Fool is the 0-card of the tarot, and it’s a classic case of how a tarot card’s meaning is deeper than its name. The Fool’s a dummy, sure. They’re about to step off a cliff, and they’re super into that flower.

But they’re more than that. They’re the concept of innocent ignorance, which is where we all are before we learn things.

I think of the world of Divination like this:

I began my artistic life in my 20s trying to fulfill my dream of being a rock star. I wrote funny piano-based songs and I dreamed of big, dazzling stages and wild seas of fans.

That dream didn’t come to pass.

I have a friend, a poet and a philosopher, who likes to say: “we are all part of the same thing.”

There’s a lot inside that little phrase. It makes me think of another quote by Neil DeGrasse Tyson: “We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”

The Road of Scale and Blade

So, it’s a weird world getting created. In Divination, I mean.

The Art is trickling into the Apparent world, and the trickle is starting to turn into a stream, and as it does, it opens the Third Eyes of more and more Artists. 

It’s been entering the minds of Students on the Road of Two Lands; giving visions to the Seers on the Unwritten Road. It’s been making Artists on the Road of Death immortal, and has been offering power…

The Garden Road

I think about gardens a lot.

I don’t have a garden; I live in a big city and my apartment doesn’t have that nice kind of outside space where you could grow tomatoes or something. I do have lots of natural light though, so I have lots of houseplants.

Most of my houseplants are succulents, because when my husband and I got married…
