This week after some children lured another child offline into meat-space so they could kill her, the world has been asking if we should ban #kids from mobile #phones. @pre@boing.world does a five minute #tarot reading to ask if the intervention would be good or useful. We find that kids have always been debauched glutons and that now they are also miserable because their future looks terrible, it may feel intuitive to blame the phones and take them away but it's a gamble if that even help, and even if it would it can't work legally or technologically because the kids understand their phone better than their parents do anyway, they are like little magicians with technology. ### Past - 7 Of Cups, Debauch Through all of history, the children have been _debauched_ _hedonistic_ _gluttons_ on _drugs_. They are _depraved_ and _bewildered_, _lazy_ and _deluded_, filled with _misunderstanding_, _ignorance_ and _confusion_ . Kids eh? It was ever thus. ### Present - 8 Of Cups, Indolence But these days, they're not only debauched but also _indolent_. They are _dispirited_ and _dejected_, _disheartened_ and _sorrowful_. They are filled with _cynicism_ and _morose_ _haunting_ _sadness_. _pensive_ and _apathetic_. Why? ### Future - 11 Of Wands, Page Well, look at their future. We have broken _nature_, with _frivolous_ _nihilist_ _carelessness_. We've been _hotheaded_ and _rash_, burning all the oil in a _debauched_ and _dangerous_ _fervour_, against _scientific_ advice. Their future looks like the Page of Wands, _despairing_ and _dreadful_ ### Intervention - 2 Of Trumps, Priestess The intervention suggested is the _intuitive_ one, they learn of their difficult future through the phone so let's take the phone away! It's just _scrying_ _divination_ is the trouble, the _spiritual_ way to handle a problem which treats _truth_ as a _arcane_ _occult_ thing, a _mystery_. It's a knee-jerk _emotional_ response. But say we did it anyway, what then? ### Influence - 1 Of Swords, Ace Influences at action: * The _judiciary_. Kids aren't _criminals_ and this is a _democracy_ with some kind of _civil_ _justice_ rule of _law_. Does the state even have the right to tell a parent what they must do with their child's phone? The teens would feel it as _injustice_ for sure. * There's also the _tech_ industry, and the _reality_ of _advancements_. Would a single country do well to take it's kids phones while the rest of the world taught them how to use them at an early age? * Not to mention the child's own _will_, their _technological_ _sharpness_ and _inspired_ _creativity_. Black market phones are as cheap as drugs. ### Obstacles - 10 Of Trumps, Fortune The card of _fortune_ here tells us that it would be a _gamble_ over whether it would even has the desired effects. Some kids are bullied online, but others find solace there. There is a _wheel_ of _affect_ here, _death_ and _doom_ for some but _victory_ and _riches_ and _opportunity_ for others. Would it even be good? On average? That's a toss-up at best, do you feel _lucky_? ### Outcome - 1 Of Trumps, Magician The final outcome of course would be that the kids are _magicians_ with _technology_ . They have _perseverance_ and _energy_ , the _resourcefulness_ and _ingenuity_, _originality_ _creativity_ _proficiency_ and _adaptability_, and are skilled with _telecommunications_ _systems_ How are you gonna ban the kids from the phones when the parents can't get past the install-screen without the kid's help? ### Summary The kids have always been headonistic glutons on drugs and now they're also indolent and disheartened too but that's because their very future is insurmountable and dreadful not because they have a communications tool. So sure, we can try the intervention that feels intuitive, but it's against humanity and creativity and the influence of law and tech industry, it's a toss up if it would even work, and anyway the kids are magicians with tech, They are better at computers than their parents Shielding them from it can't teach them to use it. ### Next time: Get notified of new episodes: * Email: https://wordcloudtarot.com/ * RSS: https://wordcloudtarot.com/readings/index.xml * Fediverse: https://dalliance.social/@wordcloudtarot/ * Telegram: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot * Peertube: https://dalliance.network/@wordcloudtarot * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@wordcloudtarot * TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wordcloudtarot * Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/wordcloudtarot * Lbry/Odysee: https://odysee.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com/

This week #William and #Kate have visited tropical islands and as a result each island in turn decided to end the monarchy. So should the UK end the #monarchy? Adam does a five minute #tarot reading to find out. ### Past - 0 trumps, fool Back in history, a mad foolish tyrant called William did an adventure of exploration and murdered the old king of England. This inspired loyalty in the people, and so so began the new royal family. ### Present - 4 cups, luxury Even now, hundreds of years later, the descendants of that mad fool live in the lap of luxury, they are decadent and complacent, aimless and indifferent. The whole world is disillusioned with the mad idea that wealth and executive power should be inherited and kept in the family like an old rocking chair. ### Future - 10 pentacles, wealth If left unmolested they they will surely gather up the whole wealth of the nation, it's government and income and riches entirely owned by the heirs and their siblings. ### Intervention - 14 cups, king The tarot uses royal cards for all leadership roles, but we can read on this card that it's refereeing to an informed, educated and skilled practitioner, a meek and humble advisor. The intervention is that we replace royalty knowledge and competence. ### Influences - 15 trumps, devil That new leader will be open to corruption, to influence from worldly needs and deviancy. Alcohol and crime and fetishism. Imagine if Boris was head of state not just PM! ### Obstacles - 1 cups, ace Standing in the way will be tradition and institutions of the state, the union, the federation. The people love their birth rights, and wealth being passed through innate divine right. The untutored peoples and their instinct have supported the royals for this long and will continue to be an obstacle to ridding the world of this moronic monarchy idea. ### Outcome - 1 trumps, magician The outcome though could be a new decisiveness, systems delivering innovation and advancement. A manifestation of talent from outside that one little family, a new ingenuity and an awakening at a national level. ### Summary The escapades of one mad fool created this royal family and they have lived in luxury ever since, they will continue to steal the wealth of the nation unless we replace them with informed and educated practitioners, meek advisors instead of people picked by birth-right. The new institutions will be influenced by worldly temptations and so must be set up to resist that. The public will be an obstacle, their traditions and instincts will need to be overcome. But if we get it right, we could replace the monarchy with a new institution designed to resist the temptations of the devil, overcome the traditional passions of the public and realize a new power and decisiveness of the state. ### Next time: Sign up to our email-list to be notified of new episodes: https://wordcloudtarot.com Join our telegram group: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com

Matt #Hancock had his hand on his assistant’s arse and she liked it for some reason but he resigned anyway. How will a change of Health minister affect the #UK We do a #tarot reading to find out. We find that Matt Hancock is sullen, risk-taking and distractable. Aspiring, but fucking hopeless. Since the spring his policy has been prudent, cautious. The nation locked down to protect the hospitals and people. But the future looked cruel. Lock-down extended, the people sad and disillusioned. Perhaps Matt would never let us out of lock-down? Then here comes Savid Javid. He’s confident and enthusiastic, wanting to push forward quickly and give back the right to travel freely ASAP. He’s influenced and helped by the Knight of Swords, an exuberant and irreverent character with a discursive outsized nature. Sounds like Boris. Standing in their way are the scientists and academics, the cautious who wand to proceed slowly with compassion and faith and isolation. The outcome though is that Savid and Boris will have their way, the science and scepticism have created medicine which will, just about, allow us to become free once more.

This week, prices are going up faster than they have since the 70s. The #Inflation is here. Why? What's happening? Here's a five minute #tarot reading on the #costOfLiving ### Past - 10 Of Pentacles, Wealth We started off with some wealth, a bountiful abundance of prosperity and treasures. A good start. ### External Influence - 3 Of Cups, Abundance And on top of the plentiful wealth of our world and nations, we also have an abundance in other ways: Bountiful creativity and development, exponential growth, happy harvest and a plethora of wealth and innovation. It's all going well then. But what of hidden influences? ### Hidden Influence - 2 Of Trumps, Priestess But there's a hidden influence: The priestess. She represents the esoteric and the metaphysical, obscure occult mysticism, the intellect and enlightenment. Possibly the economics profession? The Media? The Bankers? So we should have it all right? Wealth and abundance and a guiding hand from economics and media. ### Present - 12 Of Wands, Knight But our media is awful and captured by the deep state, so this moment is ruled by a Knight: Royalty. This particular miscreant is amorous, entertaining, and funny but also distractable, lustful and inconsiderate. A jealous irresponsible felon. The media is so awful that we keep electing felons. And what does that lead to? ### Outcome - 12 Of Cups, Knight Another Knight: so the outcome will be more of being ruled over by the elite! This ruler is calm and unsympathetic, rationalistic and ingenious. The capital class in general perhaps. They are ruling over us, price-gauging, pulling in record profits and their cup runs over, leaving the rest of us to suffer real-price pay-cuts and beg for the scraps from their table. ### Summary We have wealth, we have abundance, and we have learning. But yet still we end up with inconsiderate distractable irresponsible criminals in charge so they perpetuate the ruling classes who monopolise ownership and control of group enterprise so they can price-gauge, steal the wealth of the workers and ensure their own wealth even at the cost of others. Great. ### Next time: Sign up to our email-list to be notified of new episodes: https://wordcloudtarot.com Join our telegram group: https://t.me/wordcloudtarot Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/@wordcloudtarot Buy a deck of cards now: https://wordcloudtarot.com
