UU UU of A   Colourless Colourless of Purple  Self Recursion of Reflection

Queen of Cups - Wisdom  Virtue  Unsatisfied longing  Self righteousness

(( For an Oz Tarot

Zixi ))

Other people see the illusion. She sees herself as she is in the mirror. She would like to be the reality, but if she were, in what way would she be different from what she is? She interacts with others by speaking to them and by her appearance. The illusion of an appearance is an illusion, but the illusion of words are real words. If you are taking a written test and the illusory voices in your head tell you the correct answers just how illusory are they? Illusions are one of the things that are real. That is if you think you perceive a real thing but it turns out to be an illusion, what you perceived was not real. But the perception was real. That is, if you perceive an illusion, it is an actual, real perception. Of an illusion.

UU UU of E   Colourless Colourless of Green   Self Recursion of Perception

Queen of Clubs - Partners - good or bad

(( For an Oz Tarot

Queen of Scoodlers ))

She has two aspects. Both icky. She reflects herself. She is her own partner, and she's a very bad partner. She causes herself to do things that she really oughtn't to do. Her mirror is stained and cracked.

UU UU of I   Colourless Colourless of Yellow   Self Recursion of Limits

Queen of Coins - Gifts  Dependence  Generosity  Contingency

(( For an Oz Tarot

Chick the Cherub ))

Incubator baby, clone baby. Gender never resolved. Some real people like that. Society gives you a place to be and you'd better fit it. Too bad if you don't. To the extent that the matrix determines who you are, you aren't you. You're a function. On the other hand, if you take the red pill you might be realer but less happy. Which is more important, real actual truth or functional relevant useful lies?

--------------------

UU UU of O   Colourless Colourless of Red   Self Recursion of Action

Queen of Swords - Subtle discernment  Perceptive

(( For an Oz Tarot

Coo-ee-oh ))

Very discerning. Way too discerning. Listens in on all her people's conversations. Leaves them no privacy at all. Then has them beaten if they say anything bad about her. Will never ever hear the truth.

U U of A   Clear Clear of Purple   Self Focus of Reflection

King of Cups - Established relationships  Counsel  Pretentiousness

(( For an Oz Tarot

Kaliko ))

A good counselor but how well can he counsel himself or accept council? Many people are good at supporting others but lousy at accepting support. Superb workers often make terrible managers.

U U of E   Clear Clear of Green   Self Focus of Perception

King of Clubs - Strict rules  Firm judgments  Austerity

(( For an Oz Tarot

Tititi Hoochoo ))

Justice without mercy. The ever to be castigated Duke of Qin was like that. The son of a used car salesman and a hoochy coochy dancer (the equivalent) he completed the great wall, known as the longest graveyard in the world. He would have made the trains run on time if he had any trains. He standardized the writing system of China and incidentally slaughtered about a fourth of his population. Chinese like to say that they have four thousand years of history but they don't. He wiped out the first fifteen hundred as if they had never existed. He burned the books and he buried the people who knew what was in the books. Every thing of China previous to his time is a reconstruction. And dubious reconstruction at that. He wanted to start over and that's pretty much what happened. No one, no one, in Chinese history is more hated. Or more admired, by some.

U U of I   Clear Clear of Yellow   Self Focus of Limits

King of Coins - Influence  Any means to an end  Peril

(( For an Oz Tarot

Doctor Pipt ))

Made his own laws. Lived by his own rules. Nothing he did turned out right. Did manage to keep the Kalidahs off but not in a very good way.

------------------------

U U of O   Clear Clear of Red   Self Focus of Action

King of Swords - Authority  Status  Pursue too far

(( For an Oz Tarot

Ruggedo ))

Perfect as a villain. Has a complete inability to learn from past failures. Just keeps doing the same thing over and over again. Never actually imaginative. Never has a backup plan. Confuses his wants with his rights. Amazing how many presidents, kings, dictators and other self back patting leaders are exactly like that. There must be some use to them, because we keep putting them in power.
