Sun's Silly Psychic Set or Tiffany's Tabletop Tarot Tapestry or A Methodological Map of Magical Mystery | An Infinite Jest


yes, i have a methodology
&yes
this is the very first card i pulled for myself for my very first reading of myself
wherein i instantiated the parameters to reveal exactly ONE CARD
*thefuck*

&no
my very first reading was not a reading of myself
*eyeroll*

&no
this is obviously nota-picture from the reading
*double-eyeroll*

for my second reading of myself (a full six-card reading, days later, &i will not map out my methodology for this reading):
The Star
my obstacle:
The Queen of Cups

i wish i were making this shit up, ya'll
but i am not.
*weeps*

there are as many ways to interpret all of these things
as there are human individuals
what i do know
for a fact
is this is women's work
it always has been
&as a former student of art history
you better fucking believe how fucking fucking fucking fucking pissed i was
when i realized
that not a single fucking fucking fucking lick of this type of art/imagery
was ever presented to us
as students
&if it was somehow mentioned in some curriculum
or blown past in a general historical study
&i missed it
this was by design
if you understand what all of this even is
or means

[the thread is looking a little blue,
but it is not,
i drew blue chalk lines, so it might be a minute 'til it wears off]



Sun's Silly Psychic Set

&yes
i will happily make a sort of "map" for fellow practitioners
but it will not be a tapestry
it will simply be a sort of BASIC MAP
constructed merely of zodiac-printed fabric
double-sided
&trimmed in purple
you will essentially receive the middle piece of this tapestry
square
purple around all four edges
an X through the middle stitched in white
&a golden square within

*drool*

i have created this tapestry for myself
for my own use
because every seer ought to do the same
for themselves
imho
perhaps it's not necessary to make the thing with your own hands
but maybe it is
again
my methodology is my own
&no
i will not be sharing it
but this tapestry is seeped in my methodology:
the colors
the pattern
the stitching
&the thread color itself
have all been considered
&so
if you are a seer yourself
you will probably be able to intuit my interpretation
on a general level
if not specifically
lol

&yes
that is the buddha bucket bag
&no
i had absolutely zero conception of using this bag in this way

^..^

i'm flying by the seat of my cups
like i always have
lol









when i finished my green goddess skirt on monday
i immediately needed jade
*weeps*
i've been needing to replace my jade cuff
from a million years ago
cause it broke
but i do not force the issue
but then on monday
while gliding around in the skirt
like a Queen
i needed my new jade
bad
so we went to where we go to obtain these sorts of things
&lo and behold
my jade finally found me
*weeps*
not only that
the lady at the shop
asked me if i wanted to size it down
cause "it looks big"
&i was thrilled
so i asked if i could keep the bead she removes
&she smiled and laughed, "of course"
&then she asked if there was a bead i had been eyeing to remove
&i told her, "i'll take it how it comes"
&when i got home
i was hemming and hawing about what to do with the "extra" bead
&when i was spooling a bobbin with the gold thread
that i top-stitched into my map
i knew exactly what to do with that bead of abundance
&you wanna hear the craziest thing?
before the jade i took home found me
i had found this other jade
&it was essentially one single bead
tiny
something to affix or adorn to something else
&i wanted it bad
&i thought i needed it
&i did
but then the jade i took home
found me
&so
not only did i get the one single bead i had initially needed so bad
i also got a whole bracelet of them
&now
my mannequin feels like an extension of me







does that green look familiar?
i did not have to buy one single thing to complete this set










KNOW THY SELF

As The [Jade {or King in certain languages}] Queen of Cups
I am The Star











[end note]
re: the deck
i would consider this the "generic" deck of Tarot
the owners of this particular deck's trademark &copyright
have every ramification of the names of the deck's creators/publisher on lock, ya'll
so, i call it the Pamela Colman Smith Deck
but i would have to "officially" call it the Smith-Waite Deck if i were to publish this as text that must be referenced, etc.
i have
obviously
decided to create my own deck
&this will hopefully be accomplished
before i die
lol

dear non-millennials:
if you want us to stop using "lol" at the end of our sentences
it is imperative that you know what "lol" even means
if your goal is to convince us to stop using it, lol.
i keep seeing things like, "alternatives for 'lol'"
&"convincing millennials that there are more emotions than 'lol' to evoke,"
etc.,
etc.,
&c.
here's the fundamental flaw with these types:
you are interpreting "lol" to literally mean "laugh out loud"
&this is why none of us, millennials, listen to you, non-millennials,
about anything.
