Thread of the Occult

[SHSL Gang Leader]

There's been some talk of this lately so here's a thread for it.

What's you opinion on fortune-telling and all that? Any memorable experiences?

...As for me, I just opened a fortune cookie and got "The star of riches in shining on you".
There's no way that's a good sign

[Kallen Kozuki]

Oh I have some with palm reading from Japan, as well as Blood Type personality possibilities.

[Kilvas]

I usually find my horoscope pretty accurate alot if that counts. I'm usually pretty interested in this kinda astrology/fortune/horoscope stuff. I never really liked fortune cookies so much though, lol. I like eatin' them, but I don't really think too much of the fortune inside them. I've gotten 5 in a single cookie before..

[Kallen Kozuki]

You should look up your blood type, the personality corresponding with the type is scary to its accuracy.

Palm reading can also be fun to see what could be in your future.

XD

Tarrot deck is a mystery to me.

[The Universe]

I opened a fortune cookie and it said "One of your old friends will invite you to an orgy" so I said to Tres "Got any orgys planned" and he said "nope" so then I finished my Fried Noodles.

[Grunge Hamster]

What does it mean when your fortune cookie is empty?

[Nightmare]

I came in here, thinking this was a thread about Satanists, polytheists and such and was about to purge the world of their wretched existence, in the name of God.







But I find stuff about fortunes, horoscopes and palm reading, the last one which I am slightly proficient at. I don't believe these things are accurate at any place you go to, but a true expert will be able to give you information that's spot-on. So kids, don't go believing anything you're told.

[Rise: The Game]

I loved the tarot cards we did yesterday It was fun and pretty accurate XD

[usogami]

lol
but with the whole occult thing, i have a tarot deck (dont believe in fortunes, but its fun and the pictures are pretty XD) and i do know like 2 chants (1 being the kuji-in/kuji kiri, the other was.... mantra of fudo-myo) other than tat, i watch animes that talk bout tat stuff like ghost hunt.

[Rozencrutz]

This stuff is always fun to do with friends, especially if your doing tarrot reading for a friend.

Always kinda fun.

I got:

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent. Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

I got.

You are The Star

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised

The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.

[Kallen Kozuki]

You are The Moon
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

lol

I got:

You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

I suppose it's accurate, more or less. I guess. Lol.

[Rozencrutz]

You are The Hierophant
Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Why did this not surprise me.

[SHSL Gang Leader]

Hmm. It feels like I'm picking a different set of choices this time.
I bet I'll come out as something different than before.

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

...Never mind.

[Rise: The Game]

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.


Yup. Yeeeaaaaaa this sounds just like me.

I got:

You are The Lovers
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

Is this cause I become fixated on games and manga and such but I'm really just a lonely person? This card thing is completely inaccurate

[Pardalis]

My childhood best friends mom used to read Tarot cards and everyone thought she was a which. >_>

I should probably read my horoscope from time to time since I found I follow my sign pretty well.

Wow, Rozen and Masu got their favourite of the arcana. That somehow surprises me, but they're pretty fitting.

My favourite would be The World, but I doubt that's actually a result because no one is perfect yadda yadda yadda

EDIT: Well what do you know, I manipulated the url and The World is actually a result. Figures.
