This entire spread highlighted the collective fear and concern of the world. Emotions are meant to help protect us and give impetus for preparation and change. So even a dark spread reminds us we have agency and opportunity. Thank you @ErinSueMreads for sharing this activity on litsy during this Season of renewal and rebirth. We are always growing. 💚💛💚#tarottakeover

AmyG Yes. I also viewed this in a “world sense”. Scary but....hopeful that the world can mourn, feel it‘s collective grief and move forward. 3y
AmyG And this tarot journey….I started today to pull a card (each day)….and today‘s card was eerily accurate. It‘s all pretty wild. 3y
Chrissyreadit @AmyG yes!!! For me it is all satisfying. I‘m glad you are enjoying the journey💛 3y

I'm impressed by Kunstler's breadth of research & knowledge. It comforted me to know that he's not a "survivalist" just waiting for catastrophe.

This is not a book I should be reading, given my tendency to helplessly dwell on these things. And I'm not sure my measly emergency pack will do me much good.
Don't be surprised if I bail on this out of sheer horror & inability to cope with the material.
