Crowd Sourced Tarot

I was hoping to get this done, yesterday, but hey. It's all data, right? Anyway, yesterday I said the following, on twitter: "I need your help, so we're going to do a thing. Are you ready? Okay. here we go: I need you to Randomly pull one, I repeat: ONE tarot card for me. The first people 10 to do this & tag it #CrowdSourcedTarot make a reading."

Part way through, we encountered the following: "So, my #CrowdSourcedTarot project has run up against an interesting nuance, borne of the form: By using a possible pool of 78(~600) cards... there is a chance of getting 10 Of the Exact Same Card." Which, as Cat Vincent noted, makes space for the question, "Which Card(s) and Which Deck(s) Repeats?"

Then I decided to up this, and said. "If you haven't told me already, what deck did you use? Gonna make this super complicated by indexing you w/ your deck #CrowdSourcedTarot." By which I mean, in addition to just going with A) A simple Celtic Cross, and B) indexing the symbolism of each card with both myself and the person who picked the card, I would also C) Cross-Index The Individual Symbolism of the Deck They Used, with The Previous Two Indicies.

Because I am crazy. Also, it means that I can get some really interesting results.

So here's the reading, what deck each card came from, and who pulled it. The second Death card is likely pulled out of that person's ass, rather than any actual deck ( ;P ), but I'll let it stand. Trickster archetypes not only get a pass, from me, but are often privileged. For that one, I'm using my Vertigo Tarot interpretation. This is a slightly modified Celtic Cross. Here we go:

1) Me as I See Myself: Princess of Swords: (Thoth) WickedGoddess
2) Directt Influences On Me: The Hermit: (Thoth deck) Alephnought
3) My Goal: 10 of pentacles (PDF): (Goddess Tarot Deck) CirceRamone
4) My Recent Past: Wheel of Fortune: (Going to read as Vertigo, until told otherwise Thoth. Damn it.) David Gallaher
5) My Further Past: Death: (Science Tarot) JDaysy
6) My Near Future: Princess of Swords: (Thoth deck) MoonAndSerpent

7) Me As Other People See Me: Six of Discs: (Thoth) UnknownBinaries
8) Further Future Events: The Sun: (Probably Rider-Waite) Suelyn
9) Current Emotional State: "DEATH!": (Possible Bullshit) DeathBoy
10) Ultimate Outcome: prince of swords: (Thoth) Cole Tucker

[Edit: Have to say, I do not like that prince of swords in the final position.

EDIT 2: General Clarification Late Hit: King of Wands: (Robin Wood Deck) TriskelMoon

I may do more like this, in the future, in other venues. Maybe here. We'll see.
