It's time to reveal the second attraction of the Lake Phantasia Tarot Theme Park! Lucia Tavella is back at the podium in front of another huge velvet-covered poster. "Are you as excited as I am? I can't wait to see what the next attraction will be!"
With a quick pull, the velvet falls and the poster is revealed.
"Wow! The High Priestess supported by The Lovers and The Wheel of Fortune!
The High Priestess suggests that we're going to unlock our intuition, and develop profound insight into complex situations and deep mysteries.
The Lovers indicate that two distinct and dynamic forces will come together in harmony, merge and form a new and unique entity. Love will flourish by embracing and celebrating differences.
And The Wheel of Fortune hints that a constant rotation of luck and misfortune are simply the nature of the cycle of life. Despite the sometimes dizzying changes in fortune, it's still up to us to create our own destinies, and not be mere victims of circumstance.
It sounds like we might be in for some stormy weather, but with insight and harmony we shall overcome!"
The applause starts, but is quickly hushed when the poster falls off its huge easel, revealing another image.
"What's this? Two attraction are opening today?"
Lucia pauses and studies the newly revealed image
"These cards are...interesting.
The Fool is an invitation to abandon our inhibitions and fears and begin creating creating our own unique path through life, even if that path takes us far off the beaten path. Exploring our dreams lets us explore our own boundless potential. We're encouraged to pursue our inspired dreams without waiting around to study, gain competence or expertise first. It may look absurd from the outside, but we should have faith in abilities that we haven't discovered or explored. We'll learn all we need, and more, along the way.
Death suggests the an abrupt conclusion to one aspect of life, and the start of another. Death isn't the end, it's metamorphosis in a cycle of continuous change. This change is inevitable and permanent. There's no going back!
The Devil warns that we're our own worst enemy, our biggest roadblock. We want to blame our situation on outside forces, but the Devel is our own ego, and it tries to restrict our minds through false limitations. If we're imprisoned, it's a prison formed by our own thoughts. There is no outside help for this. We alone posses the power to break the mental chains we've locked ourselves into."
Lucia frowns. "Although we're embarking on a joyous, freewheeling journey, we carry within ourselves the seeds of destruction that could set us back and frighten us into a return to the ways of old which so exacerbated this last year and a half since the Pandemic began. But, change has already happened, and there's no true going back. The horrifying price of business as usual -- those false limitations -- is far to high to pay again."
She's pensive, and that uncertainty infects you as you watch her move to the 2nd velvet-covered poster. "I'm not sure I want to see this, to be honest! Oh well, we must push on!"
"That's not so bad! I wonder what sorts of attractions these will be?"
The applause starts slowly, and gathers strength, though you look back at the six revealed cards with some trepidation.
