“A dream which is not explained is like a letter which has not been read.” The Talmud
They can be. The more open you are with me the more helpful I can be. Some querents prefer a “cold” reading. Meaning they prefer to provide no information or feedback at all. I don’t mind this. It’s a fun challenge. And I enjoy doing the best I can with whatever unconscious information I am able to pick up. It’s always a pleasure when the querent finds my reading accurate under these circumstances.
When I first began studying the tarot, I was often troubled by how The Fool was defined. I found myself feeling offended by the meanings frequently given to that card. They seemed to equate naïvete and innocence with foolishness. There was also the implication that these states of childlike wonder were inherently dangerous. This is conveyed by The Fool being ready to step off a cliff. The idea that this is the starting point of a journey felt harsh to me.
I was relieved when I found that some tarot historians believe The Fool is actually the endpoint of the journey. The Fool is a wise person, an enlightened person who because of their wisdom may seem crazy to others. The Fool is courageous and unphased by danger and their own human frailty. The Fool occupies a realm where compassion is all. With their hard-earned wisdom, The Fool is a powerful force. If The Fool is on your side you are fortunate.
While shifting about through different astral trains, I notice a recipe for “fudgy with prunes.” This disturbed me.
Three rounds of MMA against Cerberus!
But Cerberus has four fists and three heads! Dr. Torpor’s manager is filing an objection with the Hades athletic commission.
A new Christmas song.
Tucked inside John Hurt,
His blood really red,
The chestburster alien,
Stuck out his sweet head…
How about something different for a manger scene?
Let’s have Kane lying on the dining table of the Nostromo with the chestburster popping out and the rest of the crew standing around like the wise men. Dallas, Ripley, Parker, Brett, Lambert, and Ash are celebrating the birth of the Alien!
Everything has a meaning. Except when it doesn’t. And when meaning is present, it is not necessarily significant. This relieves a lot of pressure.
While taking a walk with Noodles (a valued colleague from another dimension) I saw a decorative banner hanging in front of a house. I thought it was a design of two bats flying, done in orange and black. But as I got closer I realized it was actually red and green… a design of a Christmas candle with holly!
