Cards Against Divinity

Oracle Cards as an excuse to tell different stories.

An AI came up with that title suggestion for this week’s show; cards against divinity. It’s cute. The robots are improving. Not really something I can use on YouTube because the algorithm punishes such creativity. (Robot on robot violence?) But I wanted to use it somewhere, so here it is.

Anyway, a lovely chat with two lovely people:

• Balthazar Blacke, creator of Divine Gypsy Mother.

• Natalia Lee, creator of Saint Cyprian’s Deck of Cards.

This week’s episode is an excuse for me to Bernie meme back into your life: I am once again asking you to make the holo-fractal turn back toward the microcosmic stories that oracle decks can tell. Let them help you uncover what is yours to do this weekend.

We actually touch on this during the episode but consider how the tarot versus, say, the Lenormand cards, respond to the question what, if anything, should I do about the unstoppable arrival of World War III?

Tarot will tell you to raise the dead, inform the King and maybe punch a lion. Lenormand will tell you to drink tea in a garden with a childhood friend.

Make room in your life for smaller answers to bigger questions.

Enjoy!
