Folchi
chose Louis XIV, the longest reigning king in France, to represent this
card. Louis XIV felt it was his duty to make France great - l’état, c’est moi
- "I am the state." He was known as (and considered himself) the Sun
King, the radiant giver of life and warmth around whom everything
revolved. The sun was associated with Apollo, god of peace and arts,
and was also the heavenly body which regulated everything as it rose and
set. Like Apollo, the warrior-king Louis XIV brought peace, was a
patron of the arts, and dispensed his bounty. One thing you can say
about this king is that he never lacked in self-confidence! This tarot
card describes finding the power that comes when I recognize my own
inner light, and the self-assurance, energy, and freedom that is its
result. It brings clarity that may show me my weaknesses, but will also
point out my strengths and talents as well. It doesn't give me a
license to act arrogantly, but rather with purpose and intention.
The card drawn from the Post Psychedelic Cyberpunk today is "The Cat:"
The card drawn from the Post Psychedelic Cyberpunk today is "The Cat:"
"The
Cat Who is Both Dead and Alive" is not some morbid reality, but a
thought experiment created by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger. The
scenario presents a cat that might be alive or dead, depending on an
earlier random event. The idea serves to demonstrate the apparent
conflict between what quantum theory tells us is true about the behavior
of matter on the microscopic level, and what we observe to be true on
the macroscopic level (everything visible to the unaided human eye).
Falkov uses this card to encourage seeing several perspectives at once,
rather than believing that for every event there is an inevitable
consequence. Scientists understand a great deal, but the more they
learn the more new unanswered questions occur to them. Nothing is set
in concrete.
