oops, my post got lost/deleted.
that's fine.

i'd like to focus on the differentiation between what is real and what is not. there are so many possible paths to take... that's what the seven of cups says, there are images, there are illusions. but what is real? i think what's real is just what gabe said: the kinopio screenshot that i took was the honest representation of the process, of the art. at first i thought the 'illusion' or 'dream' might be the idea that i should post raw stuff and see it succeed. but i don't actually care about it succeeding anyway. the only real path is the kinopio screenshots.

i still require a new card. my process up to this point has worked for me, i guess. but starting now i'm going to bury all the cards that i drawn and deal the deck without re-shuffling. if i need to shuffle in order to do a reading then that's okay, i'll start from a full deck again. this is surely the 'wrong' way to use a tarot deck but i think it will be fine.

i had a question about a person, sort of. a topic, an interaction, a kind of creative relationship. i forget what the question was, but that's alright. it was about an emotional response to its ending. was i running away? am i running away? i got six tarot cards i've already seen, already have a relationship with. so there's no new card here, still. this continues to present problems.

central pivot
10wand VS ix the hermit
a burden opposed by introspection, successful and productive introspection, self-study. oh... the inverted hermit might be "returning to society," that would make sense. obligation vs returning to society....

horizontal axis
2pent -> .. -> 6wand
something that i was juggling happily, an imbalance, became a burden... in the future, i expect or hope for success, for praise, for a satisfied pride, for acknowledgement... perhaps i am carrying the burden, managing the imbalance happily, in hopes of success and praise? i wonder: am i motivated by pride? what shall i make of that?

vertical axis
Q of pent / .. / iv the emperor
this is the most interesting axis to me... i have continued to think about the vertical axis as "my consciously acknowledged idea of what the thing is" vs "my underlying unacknowledged reading of what the thing is." so in this case, i think the problem is a person (a healer, a homemaker? idk, this doesn't click as much, but it being a person does...), but it's more about diligence and rule-following and responsibility. rigidity. this all checks out very much.

QuoteMr Lebeziatnikov who keeps up with modern ideas explained the other day that compassion is forbidden nowadays by science itself, . . . political economy.

I laughed at this. I love it...
