Chapter 2: The Machine

welcome to myths of the tarot. my name is ar.u, and i'm an artist, storyteller, and tarot reader. this collection of stories follow in step with the fool's journey as it progresses along each card of the major arcana. these are living mythologies that allow me to create meaning in a world on the edge of collapse. to keep apocalyptic visions of the future from clouding my senses, i conjure up meaning for all that defies explanation & reason in the here and the now. symbols, celestial bodies, rocks, trees, clouds, dreams, stories, and archetypes can all serve as guides directing us in our life process. magical-thinking, myth-making, and meme-sharing are all resources during a time of deep planetary crisis. i hope these stories can help you to use the tarot as a tool for personal exploration. my goal is to reveal the symbols and the meanings of each archetype in the major arcana, through my own understanding of the card as it has shown up in my own life's journey. i also hope to connect the lessons offered by the tarot to the existential issues of the present era. please feel free to contact me via my instagram @mythsofthetarot for readings and contact me via anchor for matters relating to the podcast. listeners, gather round.  CW: fictional descriptions of medical horror and transformations from human to cyborg.
