you are the true gothic cards, misunderstood, deep, mysterious, disliked.

they're afraid of you, afraid of the fact that you do not bend, that you do not reduce yourself for consumption. of course not, you know your own value. of course not, you are rooted in royalty.

you are everyone.

you are the readers and the non-readers, the friends and the strangers, the self and the other. and still you have unique hearts, you retain your true values, you know who you are and what is truly yours. you contain everything the other cards contain and more just as we do.

you are forever changing, gaining what deepends you and losing that which keeps you thin. you have burst forth from the limits of appearances, and from even the limits of name. what's next for you? will you transcend the limits of your suits?

you are balanced and connected with the map of the self. you are like the most human gods, with your own houses and domains, and flaws and tensions, and strengths and loves. and yet you still are each of us! you are the very stars and seasons!

you are all and none of us, my deepest friend for whom I hold a tender respect.
