So the tarot has a sense of humour, too!

Trying to print out a great big German treatise on the Yijing – first all odd-numbered pages, then all-even numbered ones on the back. Except of course the printer picks up several pages at once on the second time through, prints on the back of the wrong sheet, and generally creates chaos to the best of its ability.

On impulse, I picked up my Haindl tarot deck (for maybe the third time since buying it), asked for a comment on the printer, and drew a single card out at random.

Mother of Wands in the East: Kali, devourer of worlds.

Maybe I’ll read it on screen.

  1. Hey Hilary, I just noticed this one! 🙂

    Indeed tarot has its own, and really not so different, brand of humour from I Ching.

    Frankly, the more I pay attention, the more I notice that the whole Universe is one laughing bowl of jelly!

    We’ve really got to have a good sense of ourself to perceive and then appreciate the humour or we’re left feeling like the joke’s on us, which of course doesn’t even seem that funny if take ourselves too seriously.

    But it’s never personal… just cosmic… yet another world wonder that we need to tune-in to and turn-on to. 🙂

    I’ve recently come across Michael Tsarion’s Tarosopic site (http://www.taroscopes.com/) Good site for tarot, I think. For meanings of the cards click on that link specifically. Also, if you’ve ever had an interest in the tales of Atlantis, you’ll find this man’s pretty much the expert on the subject.
