as i have somewhat lost the energy and interest for tarot, i am switching to an oracle deck, the dark and beautiful Oracle of Oddities by Black and the Moon (Claire Goodchild) which i have modified according to my own interpretations of the images and discarding a few cards that did not make sense to me.
and as we are all preparing to emerge victorious from our isolation, the cards look gloomy indeed.
or has it always been this way.. the tree of life rising out of insanity and dying? they are always close by, pandemic or not.
