Context: Tarot and the following of lunar cycles are common practices in witchcraft and carry occult symbolism relating to Egyptian legends. They have varying uses across multiple cultures with different styles of the deck for divination among other personal uses. It can be used for spiritual practice as a tool for communication with the self beyond what we think we know to access ancestral knowledge and wisdom.

Concept: Exploring the ideas of dimensional projection onto a visual 2D plane using sound visualization techniques, fibers, and geometric representations of a small group of Major Arcana Tarot Cards related to the cosmos. Thinking about how we communicate with other dimensions, even ones that aren’t tangible, and how 2D objects still exist within a 3D space.

For my journaling, I decided to make a tumblr to record daily tarot readings as a preliminary form of emotional self reflection. I’m also documenting/posting other media like sound and reblogging images with colors or compositions that inspire me. I’ve organized the blog tags by color as well to explore what it means to me. I plan to use it as a literal journal, collection of images, thoughts, and works doing my best to update it daily even if it’s just a short sentence related to my mood.

I don’t have a clear plan for it yet, but I feel the platform offers a lot of opportunities to post audio pieces, video, photo, links as well as text in a semi-curated space 🙂

It’s better viewed on desktop than mobile, I also didn’t code the theme myself I’m just using it. credit
