when I was in the TOKYO TAROT MUSEUM my eyes were drawn to a particular deck, but then I realised I already have a copy that I bought in KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN, 2019
any town I visit I will try and track down TAROT
we got lost in KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN, which is my favourite way of exploration
we passed this 'shop"
????
I don't know what it was 'selling" but I'm sure it was 'bad'
anyway, we passed this establishment by in a hurry
and then we saw a Taiwanese Opera on the roadside:
My photo is not capturing the true weirdness of this moment
It is 1 pm on a weekday and there is a Taiwanese Opera being performed at the side of a main road to an empty tent
it's OK that the seats are empty because they are occupied by "the GODS" ( so I was informed )
On the left of the stage in the photos above there is a guy sat at an electronic drum kit loaded with samples which go "peee-ooww' and other sounds replacing the 20 plus people who would have had to smash cymbals and strike gongs in a more trad setting, I was pretty impressed and would love the sample pack
and then we found the TAROT shop
We walked in to an empty room, there was a desk but there was no one there
we could have filled our bags with decks of cards, there was no one to stop us
after ten minutes or so someone wandered down from upstairs where "THE MASTER" was giving a workshop
and I asked if could pay for a pack of cards
STELLA'S TAROT - THE TOWER
the power of the subconscious mind to predict coming events is enhanced
