You know what...I thought about doing my own illustrations on tarot cards. I think that would be cool.
They have one deck designed as Alice in Wonderland.

But I found a set with drawings/delicate paintings of english landscape on it, called "The Arthurian Tarot" with characters from the Arthurian legends for the major arcana. I love it. ( The Arthurian myth was one of my teenage obsessions). And it helps me "think" things in response to it. |
I did buy a deck many years ago, mostly just for aesthetic reasons-I adore the illustrations. The Aquarian tarot, illustrated by David Palladini (copyright date says 1970, but it was newly printed/packaged when I got it back in early 90's). The images of people & things are closest to Art Deco style. But I can't "do" anything with them, despite the handy-dandy little booklet enclosed.
In local freepaper I read "Free Will" astrology column by Rob Brezny, though I don't have much reaction to the material. It's mostly informational nuggets rather than tailored for each sign-that's in my opinion, not necessarily how author intends/sees his work.

Simply by connecting them in my mind as a result of the ideas in book, or in the lines drawn by planetary position etc.
I don't find the science books/articles as meditative though; it's less free-flow associative. |
I do consider things in terms of "archetypes", or that many dissimilar events seem to me being basically the same kind of story/principle/dynamic. For what you may call meditative/free association, I draw patterns-abstract symmetrical geometric designs & also mazes.
Reading science books gives me frequent "aha" moments, but I am choosy about the books I go for-not just any ones will do. I select the ones that, from cursory skimming, are obviously "up my alley", in alignment with my worldview/perceptual interpretations.
In general, the future is wholly impenetrable to my brain: beyond the obvious entropy & decay, I cannot project forward in time.

My current obsession is with palmistry- I like that it contains elements of the mystical and the scientific (there are articles on how the hands, esp. the fingernails, hold signs to a person's health and how finger length can determine levels of aggression, for example). I've been reading up for the past couple years. I have a lot of theory, but I need more practice. It's not always easy for me to advertise that I do this, but I'm surprised that people want me to read their palms, plus it's easy to talk about this obsession while I'm doing a reading  .
