August finally showed today so I opted not to press the Magician issue. Who knows with him anyway. Heās like a plastic bag in the wind. He flails. I drew the Three of Wands reversed, which, I think means he needs to be patient with setbacks to whatever it is heās upset about. Which is hopefully not something awful. Reading tarot for a ghost is like pinning the tail on a live donkey. IF you get it right, youāll probably wish you hadnāt.

āInteresting, I drew Judgement today.ā
āBlast! Thatās something Iād rather not go through.ā August was reclining a foot or so above the sofa.
āWell, yes, typically the card has some Biblical overtones. But look how nice this one is.ā I handed him the card.
āThis is not nice. Not at all. Bats dwell in darkness. Itās their nature. To get a fair judgement you have to overcome your nature? Even if your nature fulfills a purpose?ā
āDoes your nature fulfill a purpose? Is that what youāre saying?ā
āIām just saying we should be judged against our own potential, not that of some deity or other.ā
āI see, well, the card just means rebirth and awakening and stuff. So⦠maybe youāre over thinking it,ā I said. He looked over to me.
āAwakening? Godās bollocks, I wish my body were still intact.ā
āI would, in no way, allow a half rotted ambulatory corpse in my house.ā
āAwaaaaakening,ā he moaned. I laughed, hard. It felt good to laugh for a change.
