First Contact with the Tarot Deck

An alien picked up The Fool and stared at it for a long time.
“Why,” it asked calmly, “does your species name its beginning after incompetence?”
A human explained: It’s not stupidity. It’s openness. Risk. The leap into the unknown.
The alien paused.“…Ah. So it is a navigation protocol.”
From that moment on, tarot was reclassified as:
Symbolic probability mapping system.
Aliens don’t believe cards predict the future. They believe:
Humans use symbols to surface subconscious data. The shuffle introduces randomness.
Randomness reveals pattern preference. Pattern preference reveals fear. And fear is measurable. To them, tarot isn’t fortune-telling. It’s emotional diagnostics.

What Happened When an Alien Did a Reading?
Anjelikka shuffled. The alien refused to touch the deck at first. “Organic cardboard is unstable.”
Three cards were drawn:
The Tower
The Star
The Lovers

The alien analyzed for 4.3 seconds.
“Your species anticipates collapse, seeks hope, and desires connection simultaneously. This is consistent.

Then it drew a card for itself.
The card was The Moon.
The alien grew very quiet.
“…This is statistically uncomfortable.”
Is tarot foolish?
Humans ask, “Will this happen?”
Aliens ask, “Why do you want it to?”
To the aliens, the cards don’t predict.
They reveal.
And revelation is never foolish.
It’s just dangerous.

So no. They do not think tarot is foolish. They think it is a beautifully inefficient way humans admit what they already know. And they respect that.

This April, the aliens will participate in the April Fool's Hunt; after all, they are not foolish, and they want to collect the gifts. Find out more about this from Dr. Elvis H. Christ here

If you want your parcel, club, or sim be listed, just contact the Dr. soon
