I love that you chose to react to this, I found Te/Mo's music through you and Mortious, and for the record, I would watch a 4 hour video of you breaking it down. This entire work is so representative of us New Age witchcraft trash, it's fantastic. Using The Tarot as a framing device is genius, because the cards named inform the message of some of the songs and lyrics. I don't know how much you know about the Tarot, but there are a few things I can share. In a traditional deck, there are 78 cards. 22 Major Arcana for big life things, and 56 Minor Arcana for smaller life things. Upright cards are the more traditional meanings, and Reverse cards are basically the exact opposite of the Upright cards. Written In the Cards is about her asking her deck about a relationship, being told by the cards that it's not a good choice, and then turning the cards upside down to reverse the meaning of them because she's not going to let the cards decide everything for her. I'm wondering if you heard any chords or note progressions that were reversed or turned upside down between the two EPs? Reverse EP: Judgement- Major Arcana, big life things. Upright is usually interpreted as a resurrection or reawakening, but because it's in the Reverse here, it means self-doubt, a lack of self awareness, and a failure to learn lessons; it indicates a need for self-reflection, which is what the song is. Ten of Swords Reversed from Curse is interesting. Minor Arcana, so smaller life things, but representing very strong feelings. The Upright card means disaster. It's the finality of defeat, and the recognition of hitting rock bottom. The Reverse also means a terrible thing happened, but now that the tragedy is over, you can move on and make something positive from it. It gives the feeling of dodging a bullet, like being fired from a terrible job and then finding a new, much better one. King of Swords- Minor Arcana, smaller life things. Upright is usually interpreted as reason, authority, morality, and discipline: the Reverse here represents an irrational dictator; oppressive, ruthless, and dishonest. If it's referring to a specific person in your life, it means they're selfish, potentially abusive, manipulative, and like to use their intellect against you. Upright EP: The Devil- Major Arcana, big life things. It's one of the cards with a less positive Upright meaning, representing being trapped in a feeling of entrapment, emptiness, and lack of fulfilment. Addiction to pleasure and opulence. I almost feel like the Reverse card is closer to what she's saying, it means independence, freedom, and reclaiming power and control. Also Can I Do Ur Chart is hilarious.
