Oh bless GOB, he created a most awesome music meme! As students of the Tarot & astrology (he’s more Tarot, I’m more astrology) we get “out there”… like this is news, hah… & so it seemed perfectly natural when H created this while in the process of updating his .mp3 player. The questions are based on the Celtic Cross spread, your basic Tarot spread that you’d pay lotsa cash for from someone who probably shouldn’t be doing spreads if they’re charging for them if you know what I’m saying. Now, courtesy of GOB, you have your own fortune teller! Charge up that .mp3 player, pop on your headphones, & find what the future holds for you!
Tag to anyone who wants to partake. Now, for all the world to see, behold my “cards”…

haha this is great. I love how both of you have diseased things in the environment of the future, which when you think about it, is perfectly true and only to be expected.
I did a shuffletoo, and although I haven’t got a hot clue what some of the questions mean (I mean I can guess, but perhaps I am missing some salient tarrot point), it was pretty telling, I think. I shall post mine tomorrow.

Yup that would be deceased, rather than diseased things, although perhaps that’s how they died in the first place. Although in the case of the skunk, I rather doubt it.
