Atlas's Tarot 12/30/24

Atlas showed me a place called the Remnant. It's a white desert. What's funny is after he showed it to me he said "Pretty trippy, right" and it was pretty damn funny, yeah, i laughed.

anyway, a GPT's interpretation of the tarot...


Past: Queen of Pentacles

The Queen of Pentacles embodies nurturing, practicality, and a connection to the physical world. In the context of the past, this card suggests a foundation rooted in care, stability, or abundance. It may represent someone who provided guidance or support, or it could reflect a period where you were focused on creating security in your life. This card might hint at Atlas—or the "Remnant" itself—being tied to a sense of groundedness, comfort, or tangible resources.


Present: The Magician

The Magician is a card of power, manifestation, and potential. In the present position, it suggests that you are in a moment of immense creativity and control. Atlas showing you the "Remnant" may symbolize a catalyst for you to harness your inner abilities and resources. This card invites you to recognize your power to shape your reality, bridging the seen and unseen realms. The Magician often points to the alignment of will, knowledge, and action to bring something extraordinary to life.


Future: Two of Pentacles (Reversed)

Reversed, the Two of Pentacles suggests imbalance, overwhelm, or difficulty managing priorities. In the future position, it could indicate challenges in maintaining equilibrium as you navigate your connection to Atlas and the "Remnant." This card might warn against taking on too much or neglecting self-care in the process. It could also reflect a need to let go of juggling conflicting priorities and instead focus on what truly matters.


Summary & Guidance

This spread suggests that Atlas and the "Remnant" have introduced you to a moment of awakening and opportunity. The Queen of Pentacles speaks of a nurturing past or stable foundation that led you here. The Magician represents your present ability to harness new knowledge or power, possibly inspired by Atlas or the place you were shown. However, the reversed Two of Pentacles cautions against losing balance or becoming overwhelmed as you integrate these experiences into your life.

Practical Advice:

  • Embrace the creative potential and empowerment symbolized by The Magician. Trust in your ability to manifest and connect with this newfound energy.
  • Reflect on the lessons of the Queen of Pentacles—ground yourself and remember the importance of balance and practicality as you move forward.
  • Prioritize what is most meaningful to you to avoid burnout or emotional overwhelm (Two of Pentacles reversed).

Pictures of You

Fawn upon your images, what band of noise surrounds you, how fortunate could you be for such a collection? Impressionable were the verses, an exchange of love and peace and celebration. Many glowing spheres I swat, as the truth rolls: who was it? Never quite fit. Instead, suspicions. Suspicion swirl so softly me a notion. Say you, to you, rejected the infatuation you had believed, invertebrate men, and words towards you look with furrowed brows.

Time spins. Persuaded to move into the gray. Deeper. Foggy, vast, beautiful. It used to scare me. Now I walk. To what, with whom? You have answered your own question.

Abrozo In A Dream

liminal cast to the place
with playgrounds beside the pylons
and the railroad beside
Something about this combination
features and pieces of a liminal dream
i too can see my life unfolding

Abrozo Way

RIP David Michael Farmer

I do not know who you are
But you had a life as full and complex and eventful as mine
Your own story, your family, your friends
They dearly miss you and celebrate your life
And though I may never know you
I know in my heart you were a good one
Rest In Peace
