Divination Cards: Megan and Mel

The Artists:

The following posts (all of November) are intended as a prototype for a set of Divination Cards created in collaboration with artist Megan Gertler. Megan can be reached at theseahagsdaughter@yahoo.com. I can be reached at msmel1979@yahoo.com.

Our Idea:

divination. as a method. of standing under.

these cards are intended to re-present. perhaps you have a question. allow the cards to offer an alter.native. to suggest. a not her way of seeing. a glimpse. glance. into your reality. in to some thing. out.side the scope. of your vision. or mine. some thing channeled me. to write. these words. un.censored. many of them. written on my fire escape. out side. al.one. in a confined space. anxious. listen to the wind. watch the birds. sit alone. write in my notebook. in no chrono.logical order.

So I wrote them down. and you picked them up. what brought you here? do you believe in coincidences? can one act ever exist on its own timeline? choose a card. any one.

read the text. look at the images. can you imagine why you might have chosen that card? that particular message? perhaps that card chose you? is it possible that messages come from space to reach a person who needs to hear them? are you lonely? maybe today you are on the verge of a major decision. sell your house. marry. have an abortion.

I have no ideas why the card you chose might be of any interest to you. at all. but you do. read the text. look at the images. what’s happening here? do you know? are you prepared to consider the messages?

how you read them is up to you. I suggest candles. quiet spaces. contemplation. pick one at random. just point and click. see what happens. how your life is reflected. how it isn’t. expect nothing. be open to anything.
