Description
A deck of Tarot cards follows a story, The Fool's Journey, that anyone can learn + that applies to the average human experience in the capitalistic world.
The Occult was turned into an industry, Tarot cards hold as much mysticism as the séance
(meaning they are both historically proven to be sold as snake oil for grief)
I hold the standpoint that I am in control of my existence (destiny, by another name) while being influenced by external factors.
I've decided to write myself into this journey, beginning in the past, catching up to the now + perhaps I will even take a stab at "predicting" my own future.
No one reads me my story because I am still writing it, thus I read my own tarot cards and conjure my own ghosts.
(I don't believe ghosts to be a scientific plausibility, it just sounded quite metaphorically poetic there)
This series is a personal proclamation of: my disdain for consumerist bullshit, my firm belief that death is finite, and my affirmation of self as not only the author of my life's story- but also as my most avid reader + constructive critic
