An Ancient Egyptian "Blueprint" for Co-Creating a Better Tomorrow
For anyone who feels at rock bottom, this is an intuitive divination that requires no knowledge of Egyptian mythology or astrology. The image you'll work with is like a blueprint of a four-walled room, the walls of which have been flattened. Picture the central rectangle, holding four figures and framed with a double line, as the floor. Above it, below, left, and right are the room's four walls, as if they're lying on the ground. The blueprint comes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and it depicts a funeral chamber. Note the jackal-headed Anubis, protector of tombs, leaning over a mummy. The mummy is you in your current state, feeling bound and powerless, awaiting the dawn of a new life of plenitude. Under the bed (below Anubis and your mummy) is a bird with a human head, a symbol of your soul. You are actually represented three times in this blueprint (you'll see yourself honoring the rising and setting suns, in the top corners). Instructions: There are 16 letters on the blueprint. Next to each letter you will write a number. Begin by writing a 1 next to any letter your intuition guides you, or seemingly at random. There is no "wrong" way to do this. Follow your whim. Just as the letters are somewhat unpredictably placed, so should your numbers be at your discretion. Continue here and there around the blueprint until you've written all 16 numbers. Then, referring to the chart below, match the numbers to the letters, one pair at a time, to form messages. The numbers represent astrological particulars (the greater symbolic meaning of each planet and asteroid). Those meanings are offered in brackets. The letters identify each figure in the diagram and what it communicates (as per the Egyptian Book of the Dead). Each of those communications is like a fill-in-the blank. They each feature the word "this," and that's like the blank to be filled by the bracketed word in the numerical list. For example, letter A says that "Anubis prepares this good way for you." If A were paired with the number 12 ("Inspiration") then the message is that you're on the cusp of a sudden bright idea or brainstorm that will send you moving forward on a better path of life. "Anubis prepares inspiration as a good way for you." Some paired message will make perfect sense immediately, while others will encourage some contemplation and some "wait and see." This blueprint may be re-numbered at different times, for different circumstances. The grand, overarching message of these readings is that many forces are at play, some seen and some unseen, that collaborate on one's destiny. A new start may feature one of a great variety of characteristics. Being conscious of those characteristics will empower one to better take advantage of opportunities for shifting one's life path or otherwise co-collaborate on one's destiny. [Note that the walls of the blueprint feature 12 figures, recalling the 12 houses of the Zodiac; you may find other ways to work with this mystical diagram to inspire new insights.]

| * Historians must reconstruct the past out of hazy memory. "Once upon a time" requires "second sight." The "third eye" of intuition can break the "fourth wall" of conventional perspectives. Instead of "pleading the fifth," historians can take advantage of the "sixth sense" and be in "seventh heaven." All with the power of hindpsych, the "eighth wonder of the world." It has been said that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Therein lies the importance of Tarot readings for antiquity. When we confirm what has already occurred, we break the shackles of the past, freeing ourselves to chart new courses into the future. |

Due to our mysteriously esoteric studies, we're often asked for oracular predictions about the new year. For this New Year's Eve, we consulted our own Mimetic Oracle, and here's why: the changing of the year is a grand pageant, and it's been said that theatre reveals what is behind so-called reality. Our Mimetic Oracle draws from 92 characters in six vintage plays, with 166 spoken lines and 31 stage directions in the mix. With the system, one randomly draws five characters and generates a script to illuminate the current drama of life. (There’s a detailed F.A.Q. which explains how the scripts are created, how to make sense of the dialogues, how to determine whether a reading is positive or negative, what to make of the various characters, and why these specific 6 plays were chosen for the system: http://www.mysteryarts.com/play/.)
Here's the scenario that the oracle generated when asked about the coming year:
The cast of characters, intriguingly, features two sets of twins: the "Dutch Twins" and the tin soldiers Jack & Mack. The other two figures, Melissa and Mrs. Mulligan (both M names), each have doubled letters (two s's for Melissa, two l's for Mulligan), further accentuating the twinning. So apparently 2021 will carry over some sort of doubling inherent in the mirrored numbers of 2020. In both dates, it's the 2's that are doubled, and our cast of characters certainly has twins doubled. The first line is itself doubled: "Begin and never cease, begin and never cease." We shall interpret that as a renewed call to make 2021 a brand new beginning, with the added insight that true beginnings never cease but are in a constant state of renewal. So our little play encourages a new sort of dynamism in which we never rest on our laurels. Music and bells follow, growing louder and louder, and this is a harbinger of increasing harmony and boisterous celebration—a very good sign for the coming year. Then Mrs. Mulligan says that "if you stand on your head like that, all your brains will rush down into your fate." This is a vital detail: it acknowledges that our world has been turned topsy-turvy, but we mustn't get stuck like that. We must turn ourselves rightside-up, lest we lose our heads and seal our fate. The first tin solder, Private Jack, is perhaps taken aback by the instruction, as if having followed orders for so long that he forgot how to stand "at ease." One of the Dutch twins, Klinker, then rises, suggesting that once one of the doublings in 2021 rights itself, a second set of doublings will emerge. The second tin soldier, Private Mack, apparently sees the development and nods his head wisely. So ends the scene. The little play begins with renewal and ends with wisdom—a highly positive outlook!
