Look at Tarot card
layouts (also I Ching hexagrams, cast bones, etc.) as icons on the “desktop”
(user interface with “reality”) of the person being read…a synchronicity…an
array of symbols that “are” the person at a given moment in time…another way of
telling their story. This chance set of icons can be re-arranged, resulting in
changes in the person in the “real” world.
This kind of
manipulation is a sort of Cinemorphic (re-write yourSELF) manipulation…an
alternate reality game. i.e. don’t just use divination methods to “tell a
fortune” or read someone “as they are” but also manipulate the oracle to change
them.
Look at the Tarot as a
semiotic web (like an organism with an intelligence?) which we can interact
with…have a conversation with…talk to….cajole.
