Tarot Randomizer, Day Five.

Posted by John on March 21st, 2010 at 7:48 am · 9 Comments

Welcome to Day Five (of Seven) of the Tarot Randomizer Group Creativity Experiment!

Only two more cards after this!

If you just came across this experiment and wonder what it’s all about, please read the invitation and see this for the very simple rules: the first draw. You are more than welcome to join us for the remaining days.

I’m a little behind on putting the galleries up, but should have the Two of Pentacles up by this afternoon. Depending on the submission count for today, I may post the weekend entries in one post tomorrow morning so folks can start their Monday Mornings with your creative inspiration. :)

You can also check out the galleries of works submitted in response to previously drawn cards:

Here’s the video for today’s draw:

Today’s deck is the World Spirit Tarot–it’s one of my favorites for its celebration of human diversity. The card pulled is another dark one, however:

Nine of Swords

Bunning’s key words for the symbolism behind the Nine of Swords are “worry, guilt, anguish.”

Good luck today!

    This experiment is so amazing — you guys have come up with some beautiful work!

    I just noticed this creativity experiment yesterday. Ever since I got a new job that I really like (and have set a goal not to read blogs at work), I’ve kind of fallen behind on my blog reading. But I’m really sorry I missed the beginning of this!

    I was planning to submit something for today’s draw, but for the first time in a couple years I feel like things are really coming together for me. For the moment I’m just not inspired to contemplate worry, guilt, and anguish. Please try and draw a happy card tomorrow. ;)

    I’m not exactly sure whether my contribution for the day is really a contribution or not, but aspects of my feelings about the day seem fairly appropriate to the spirit of the card of the day.

    Whatever it is, it’s up on my blog.
