Grand Tableau Newyear Eve 2022 – 01

Grand Tableau Newyear Eve 2022 – 01


Originally I meant to consult the Oracle at midwinter, but I became afraid to confront portents of doom I saw in the oracle of 2020!
Nobody listens to Cassandra anyway…This shadow is to great for me, what can I do?

Last night I awoke with a beating heart, it seemed the Oracle was knocking forcefully at my door…
And now I cannot resist the call of the oracle, I have to channel the message, I will become the voice.

Question: What is the message of the oracle that I have to share?

For this grand tableau I use the basic card meanings of hedgewitchery cartomancy

I put the Joker as my significator in the complete deck and placed the tableau in 4×13, leaving the last card out as a overall theme for this spread.

To keep the first reading simple, I will focus on the significator and its surrounding cards, later on I will expand on other significant cards.

First impressions:

Overall theme: J♦: Jack Sheppard , beware of Ponzi!

The significator is at the bottom of the tableau, at the end of the last row, subject of many influences, unable to do much about it.

Vertical column:
10♦-A♣-2♠-JOKER: wealth-seed-duel-JOKER
The financial market is very volatile and rocky

Horizontal row:
10♥-9♥-JOKER-8♣J♥: happyness-wish-JOKER-business-Jack Flash
To keep the household happy it needs ongoing maintenance and openness for the Good Messenger

Conclusion:
I can only donate my two cents to the good cause, giving the Oracle a voice.

Rudolf was acting suspicious again, sneaking away after lunch….
Jeffrey gathered some friends to follow the tracks of his weird brother!

Arriving at a clearing in the woods they followed the tracks into a cave, finding some strange signs leading deeper inwards….

Rudolfs trail ended at a portal!

The curious kids followed the trail to emerge from the portal to find
themselves standing upon dark, viscous, slag-like material
which constantly shifts beneath their feet, the
smog around them is vert thick, they were just able to see a clearing with small huts…

Few people are on the streets, the inhabitants of the place looked very gaunt and listless, clad in gray worn clothing, obviously forced labor workers!

The kids approached some persons who told them to get the mandatory registration:

A tattoo on the arm

A badge

 

Of course, the kids did not feel like to get a tattoo, but a badge could be arranged!
They ambushed a few workers to get a badge, now the kids were able to leave the hovels unnoticed.

Apparently the smog caused some hallucinations, on the road they saw some weird visions:
A pyramid beneath a supermoon?
Giant jellyfish drifting away from a space shuttle?
A patrolling robot?
The latter was real and had to be neutralized quickly!

The kids arrived a the mines where laborers were listening to a passionate speaker…“A ruler who oppresses the people, does not deserve to govern”

A revolt was brewing!

The kids joined the vanguard to storm the Palace…

Passing by the Foundry, they defeated some guardians and an officer!
They were even able to loot a few powerful weapons…

A lightning throwing staff!

A huge arm, fit for a titanic robot!

Hacking into the cyberware by mindlink, the cyberarm was ‘persuaded’ to crawl behind the kids.

 

The palace gate was guarded by a titanic robot who was still missing an arm…

With some lucky shots, the controller of the robot was neutralized!

Now the kids were able to take over the controlling device, turning the robot into an ally to smash open the gate..

Entering the throne room, they saw the ruler holding Rudolf hostage at knifepoint!

 

A climatic battle ensued…VICTORY!

The kids discovered behind the throne room another portal

Now at last they were able to return to their own space/time!
