Tarot as a Visual Language of Forms

Natalia L40 defines Tarot as a visual language of forms rather than a mere divinatory tool, emphasizing its ability to recontextualize questions. She prefers the Marseille deck or playing cards for their malleability, viewing the progression of cards as a lyrical or poetical sequence. Her background in literary theory informs her view that reading multiple cards allows for communication in "sentences" rather than isolated words.

Elizabeth Fraser, Visual Language and Higher Dimensional Communication

The conversation shifts to the singer Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins and her role as a "siren" who utilizes a form of higher-dimensional visual language. Referencing the work of Terence McKenna and the concept of electron spin resonance, Griffin explains how certain vocal tones and frequencies can transmit complex symbols and colors directly to the consciousness of others. This phenomenon is compared to the visual communication methods used by Amazonian shamans and non-human intelligences.
