Your attitude is great! I say keep it as it is but split it up into a few posts and then you'll get the same satisfaction and others will too!
I'm mostly interested in the symbolism, especially with regards to the subconscious mind. How the fool is the masculine aspect of he personality, the conscious mind, looking away from the sun off a cliff while the black stick (I read black represents feminine), the subconscious mind is pointing to the sun...this kind of stuff really tickles me
Yeah and it can add so much depth to your writing as well. It's really helping me structure my memoir - and tease out 'big themes' - in a way that doesn't beat potential readers over the head with a lesson/moral. (I think my favorite major arcana is the Wheel of Fortune)
Your points were really well taken in your first comment. I admit to being kinda bummed about the lack of thumbs up lol - but your comment was very helpful constructive criticism. Small bites, small doses - especially when it comes to a kind of taboo topic (many 'rational' people dismiss tarot as too woo woo - and it conjures up images of those underground 'psychic' shops in NYC with palm readers ready to rape your wallet; spiritual folks often dismiss it too for a whole host of other reasons)...
I think I'll pepper it in, and do stuff like 1 card draws, applying lessons of tarot to every day stuff.
Dude once you open up on the internet, you realize just how many people are into "woowoo" but are worried about what others will think because science is our religion now. Science answers he what and how but it rarely answers "why?" And maybe their eos no why but a truly scientific mind wouldn't make that assumption so easily.
I think you could type up the same kind of post but split it into 5 posts,the first the general feeling for the week and overview of all e cards especially the first day, then make a post for each of the other cards going into depth a bit more in the morning of that day or better yet the night before.
That's actually a great idea. It's all about bite sized. (tarot-bytes! haha bet a million BTC that's already taken though....googles if not TAROTBYTES is now poor woman copyrighted!)
So true on Science/Religion. And a lot of people fail to see there's just as much politics in science as there is in religion. Nothing becomes a 'fact' without support/funding from the right associations...but I won't go down than rabbit hole. At the same time - woo woo is trendier than ever - commodified spirituality.
Every time I 'talk' to you my brain just bubbles over with the best ideas...hope I follow thru on some. I think realistically most anything I do is going to be post baby, just cause this last stretch is holy shitballs exhausting :-P
Funny random thing I realize I have occasionally mixed your account up with "whats up" - and commented as though I was talking to you. ADD at its finest lol.
You are totally right about our science and our spirituality. We need a little bit of yang in the yin and a little bit of yin in the yang
Whatsup is my steemit mommy now, and he (he?) wears the pants.
I'll have to go see what you've said hinking it's me
No idea how long I've been doing it lol. Maybe it was just last week with the adopt a minnow post - and I was like wow WhatamI has come so far, adopting minnows and all LOL
Give me a few weeks!
Boo. Tarot bytes taken a few times. Sigh. The best ones always are!
