TEO has found, during her experiences in dabbling in the silly (which is way more fun than dabbling in the occult), instructions on how to make a Discordian set of tarot cards. They're rather different from normal tarot cards-- for one thing, a good eighth of the cards have cows and oranges on them-- and far easier to use. Soooo. If y'all are craving some guidance on whatever may 'P L A G U E IS CENSORED.' you, ask away. I'll shuffle me cards and see what the forces of Chaos have to say about you. My interpretation may be wrong, but at least it's free! (Speaking of the forces of chaos-- anyone want to make a Discordian cabal with me?) |

'Tis a group of like-minded people what have read the Principia Discordia, acknowledge that they are all Popes and so is everyone else, and are lead by a POEE Chaplain. (That's me. To become a chaplain, I wrote the Erisian Affirmation in five copies, burned one, censored the other, sent one to the California Bureau of Furniture and Bedding [nonexistant], one to the president, and tore the last one to bits and left it all over school.)
Word.
Ask me a question, Skiv!

Am I going to get the part?

Right.
In the 'true' position is the 'Cow Among Pungents' card. Pungents mean intense things and can also symbolize action. This card depicts one who is surrounded by intense things or feverish action but is not directly involved. To get the part, strive to be like this.
In the 'false' position is the Apostle Dr. Van Van Mojo. The Doctor is the patron saint of the season of Discord. Since this is 'false,' it means that things might settle down soon.
In the 'meaningless' position is the Cow Among Booms. Booms have to do with hearing-- do not believe all you hear. Or do, since this card is meaningless.
In the 'seek' position is the card of the Apostle Saint Zarathud. Zarathud is a bit boring and prefers to watch chaos than to directly take part. Maybe to get the part you need to seek or be a balancing person like this.
In the 'avoid' position is the card indicating 'Pungenday,' or afternoon. This card indicates a busy, though possibly mindless afternoon-- avoid action for action's sake!
The cards seem to advise avoiding recklessness, but other than that, it looks pretty darn favorable to me.
This has been a Discordian fortune-telling by TEO, aka Popess Chaplain The Illustrious Marquise of Ryland Heights Kentucky, Rz'taz, K o' SS. Please do not take seriously, or if you do, do not blame either TEO or her Popess counterpart. Hail hail hail Eris! Hail yes! Peace out.

Will I ever find the true meaning of life?

Okay.
True: The Two of Oranges. 'Two' means a balanced amount of something, and oranges are for weirdness. If you seek the meaning of life, seek weirdness, but not too much of it.
False: The Season of Bureaucracy card. Bureaucracy comes after the season of Confusion and before the season of Aftermath and implies rigid order. This is an unnatural state.
Meaningless: The Apostle Hung Mung, who discovered the Sacred Chao (which is the Discordian version of the ying-yang.)
Seek: The Joker. The joker can mean anything you like at all, it's a wild card.
Avoid: The Bavarian Illuminati. These people are people of order. Could be an organized religion, could be part of a school. Could be the government.
Basically, I think what it's saying is that meaning of life is weird and hard to find and what is your meaning of life may not be that of others.

Woah. This one's certainly an interesting fortune.
True: The Four of Sweets, which implies that there's an excess amount of something in your life. Normally I'd say you're focused too much on either sugar, being hydrated, or pleasure, but in this context, I think 'romance' would fit...
False: Cow Among Sweets, implies someone who's part of the Sweet-ness (romance?) without being involved.
Meaningless: The Golden Apple, meaning chaotic forces.
Seek: MMMM, The Onamonapia of Sweets. Seek a moment of pleasure or taste.
Avoid: THUD, The Onamonapia (I'm so spelling that wrong) of Prickles, which means continuance or the perpetuation of something.
Very interesting.
