Again, I'm laughing while learning from you.

I wish you'd said more about Trump though. Where does one go after the death card shows up?

(And my god, you're house is gorgeous. Why am I not surprised?)

You can't overlook the fact that Walz is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on China, which could be very important in the coming years. He lived there, and he knows a lot. I would be interested to see what the cards might say about his role in relations with China in the future. I liked this BBC article on the topic: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgewpzyd91o

Hi Marah

Perhaps you ought to work with the cards on this inquiry.

Do it quick as I’m pretty sure the right will start misrepresenting Walz as a stooge for China.

I agree with everyone else that it was not too long and could have been longer - and also nice digs!! I appreciated all of the exposition as well as your particular view of the cards and what you base that on.

I too prefer the Thoth deck and Crowley’s Book of Thoth is a centerpiece of my modest esoteric library. I’m absolutely stoked about how much your observations resonate with mine- ie Tens representing the grounding in Malkuth - the base of the Tree of Life- the material world (Kinda ironic that Madonna got sucked into the Kabala cult as promulgated by the Lubavitcher Chabad schools ;^)

Kabala scholars claim it as the basis of Astrology- I don’t recall Crowley saying that- Aryeh Kaplan’s “Sefer Yetzirah - the Book of Formation” does make the claim but the later chapters of the book get very technical and tangled with esoteric Hebrew/Talmudic references and dude, I’m just not THAT Jewish - I have the ancestry on my dad’s side but was not raised in the faith (besides Seders and Bar Mitzvah celebrations with friends and relatives). I’m ready to accept that it all ties together but I’m a rank amateur (not even a neophyte!) when it comes to Astrology- and that’s why I’m an avid subscriber!

I’m able to comprehend about a third of what Crowley references, which, for me, is adequate to get the nut of what he’s highlighting and unpacking.

Thank you for your support Adam!

When you begin to correlate everything with everything it’s hard to keep all your ‘marbles in the sack’. To quote Mr. T - “I pity the Fool”

I just knew there was an explanation for Walz's busted cards in the first pull! Rings true! And I think you're right on about Shapiro thinking he had it. The money people wanted him. Then the lefties stepped in.

Yes, the Ace of Disks supports your suspicion about the money factor with Shapiro. But it was more of an ether moving about in the realm of possibility, not a solid 'yes'.

I read Aces as a barely-there presence; they are intimations of what MIGHT manifest with the Fours within that suit’s element.
