Today’s deck is the Dreams of Gaia Tarot.
I actually skipped this one ages ago because it was too much at the time but I decided to give it a try.
As far as decks that seek to reinvent the basics, this is one that feels like it actually knows what it’s doing. Instead of settling for just “the fool but darker” or “arcana 25 is death again but funkier”, this one does away with them and seeks to create a different set of archetypes to draw from. So for example you’ve got the mother who you might associate with the empress, but you also have the crone, and the child. Basically asking you to draw from a different, perhaps more granular set of archetypal imagery.
Today’s reading comments that the time of struggle is over, the time to thrive is now which… fuck yeah it is.
As advertised the antibiotics have kicked in.
Dear God have they.
Right before I fell asleep I could feel… it wasn’t foam but a foaming-like sensation by my throat. And then I was knocked asleep SO HARD.
I had a bunch of weird dreams. The one that stuck with me the most was one where I guess I was in a world where you could “disassemble” things like in a videogame and I ended up disassembling so much I was un an empty square lamenting “oh no now I’m left with nothing!”. The dreams were so deep that when I woke up my first thought was “oh thank god nothing’s disassembled”.
My body sure felt like it was, though.
Predictably, coughing like a maniac for like two or three days left sore a BUNCH of muscles all over my body.
I took the chance that I finally had SOME energy to start paying some stuff now that the nonsense with the bank was over. I still have to go sign whatever document they need me to but I’m not gonna push my luck.
And good that I played it safe, as soon as I got back home I could feel every fiber of my being complaining on the heresy of physical activity.
I need to renourish myself. I’ve kept a decent amount of hydration and… a non zero amount of food, but I gota start pushing to get back to normal.
I did cancel my Japanese lesson this week in advance. While at the current rate I should be Fine by Friday, I’d rather play it safe.
Dear God the month is already over halfway over, huh…
