Windmills of my mind

Circles of my mind - Tarot tales
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

More exploratory journeys. Used to be the heavens were explained as spheres of crystal. The World was inside the smallest, and everything in the sky was fixed to series of larger spheres that moved at different speeds. The Sun would take a day to circle the World, the Moon a month, the Stars a year.

If one was inclined, and very patient, the music of the spheres could be heard. The songs of angels and the breath of higher beings.

The human who thinks - homo sapiens - wants to understand the music of the spheres. We have speech, and try to put the inexpressible into words. Stories to make sense of this cosmos and our place in it.

The Tarot is a map, a guide, the story of the Fool's journey. In 1713 the first orrery was made, a model of the planets revolving around the Sun. Metal spheres, mounted on clockwork gears. Like the crystal spheres.

So I have my decks of Tarot cards; they model the motion of large and small. What influence can I feel? Why did that happen, and where will it lead?

Walk softly, for here be dragons.
