𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Daniel / King of Wands

𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Our leadership qualities might be called upon on this day, perhaps we will be called to assert a strong presence in order to inspire those around us to achieve the best results. Whatever the case we have charisma and honourable intent on our side and are considered trustworthy to those who come to us. Proceed on any ambitions, creative projects or entrepreneurial pursuits with passion and know how, we have the means to get things done the way we want and the charm to get others to follow suit.

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗸

Daniel will bring industry and help the seeker in matters regarding business. If asked they can distinguish the seeker with eloquence and a love of literature. Daniel can console and grant mercy upon those who need help and give answers to those in any sort of doubt. Daniel rules over justice, counsels, attorneys and magistrates.

I was trying to read a Carl Sagan book. Someone took it and crushed it with a hammer. I didn’t dwell on it, had to run around and do something.

[a-typical]

The slaves had drummed into them, from plantation and pulpit alike, from courthouse and statehouse, the notion that they were hereditary inferiors, that God intended them for their misery. The Holy Bible, as countless passages confirmed, condoned slavery. In these ways the 'peculiar institution' maintained itself despite its monstrous nature - something even its practitioners must have glimpsed.

There was a most revealing rule: slaves were to remain illiterate. In the antebellum South, whites who taught a slave to read were severely punished. "[To] make a contented slave," Bailey later wrote, "it is necessary to make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate the power of reason." This is why the slaveholders must control what slaves hear and see and think. This is why reading and critical thinking are dangerous, indeed subversive, in an unjust society.

Bailey was sent to work for Capt Hugh Auld and his wife, Sophia, moving from plantation to urban bustle, from field work to housework. In this new environment, he came every day upon letters, books and people who could read. He discovered what he called 'this mystery' of reading: there was a connection between the letters on the page and the movement of the reader's lips, a nearly one-to-one correlation between the black squiggles and the sounds uttered.

Surreptitiously, he studied from young Tommy Auld's Webster's Spelling Book. He memorized the letters of the alphabet. He tried to understand the sounds they stood for. Eventually, he asked Sophia Auld to help him learn. Impressed with the intelligence and dedication of the boy, and perhaps ignorant of the prohibitions, she complied.

By the time Frederick was spelling words of three and four letters, Captain Auld discovered what was going on. Furious, he ordered Sophia to stop.

But Auld had revealed to Bailey the great secret: 'I now understood ... the white man's power to enslave the black man. From that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom.'

Without further help from the now reticent and intimidated Sophia Auld, Frederick found ways to continue learning how to read... Then he began teaching his fellow slaves: 'Their minds had been starved . . . They had been shut up in mental darkness. I taught them, because it was the delight of my soul.'

With his knowledge of reading playing a key role in his escape, Bailey fled to New England, where slavery was illegal and black people were free. He changed his name to Frederick Douglass (after a character in Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake), eluded the bounty hunters who tracked down escaped slaves, and became one of the greatest orators, writers and political leaders in American history. All his life, he understood that literacy had been the way out.

You can either take a tarot reading as fate or you can look at it as a tool. I very specifically look at tarot as a tool and try to avoid the idea of fate.

While it does show you possible events of the future, these events are never set in stone. It is important to remember that you can indeed change the outcome of a situation by using divination as a tool.

For example; you have a bad reading that suggests something awful might take place regarding a situation, you can choose then to do nothing and watch it unfold or search for ways in which you can alter that reality, which is also shown in the cards. This is how I try my best to read.

Another example; I did a reading for someone who asked if their sober goals for a specific month would be successful. I pulled The Tower and the Knight of Cups. Objectively this is an awful sign, it shows that the person will suffer and hit a breaking point where they will most likely be offered the very thing they are addicted to as a solution to the torment. Instead of telling them that no, you probably won't succeed in the attempt, I'm going to use the cards to tell you how you can. In this instance the person would have to use raw pure willpower to fight their addictions, they would also have to say no to someone if it is offered to them. It would be very hard, yes, but not impossible.

It is my job as a tarot reader to give the warning, but also the solution.

4, 8, 9, 12

4 - underrated mission(s)

Maybe the Rakia mission the the ISS which happened back in 2022 but I only found out about earlier this year. Admittedly not too much novel about it, but there was Hebrew language on the ISS.

8 - fave space book

For nonfiction, I'll have to go with Cosmos by Carl Sagan, outdated as it is, because it left a big impression on me when I was 12 and I think it's at least part of the reason I got degrees in physics.

For fiction, I'm going with the Martian by Andy Weir because I just loved it and when asked I often list it as my favorite book even though I could never pick just one favorite book.

(Some runner-ups for favorite fiction space book are Artemis by Andy Weir, The Lady Astronaut books by Mary Robinette Kowal, and War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.)

9 - fave space movie

I'm thinking The Martian. One of the few book-to-movie adaptations that satisfied me.

(I also really liked Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, but that mostly takes place on Earth and doesn't really feel like a "space movie".

12 - what got you into space?

You want the long story? I guess I've always been drawn to knowing things no one else knows, and space is pretty unknown. When I was 5 I had a special interest in space (there was a time in my childhood when every year of my life could be defined by whatever my special interest at the time was) that went away after some time like my special interests at the time did.

But then when I was 12 we had a semester of Astronomy for our science class, which I was very excited about and it caused me to return to my old special interest in space. During that semester (I'm totally dating myself here!) Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil DeGrasse Tyson aired and I loved it so much that I insisted on reading the book by Carl Sagan and (a little later) watching Cosmos: A Personal Voyage with Carl Sagan, and I've been interested in space ever since.

[trechos-delivros]

“Quando nossos genes não conseguiam armazenar todas as informações necessárias para a sobrevivência, nós os inventamos lentamente. Mas então chegou o momento, talvez há dez mil anos, em que precisávamos saber mais do que poderia ser convenientemente contido no cérebro. Então aprendemos a armazenar enormes quantidades de informações fora de nossos corpos. Somos a única espécie no planeta, até onde sabemos, que inventou uma forma de memória comunitária que armazena além dos nossos genes. O armazém dessa memória é chamado de biblioteca. Um livro é feito de uma árvore. Basta olhar para ele e você ouvirá a voz de outra pessoa, talvez alguém morto há milhares de anos. Ao longo dos milênios, o autor está falando, clara e silenciosamente, dentro da sua cabeça, diretamente para você. A escrita é talvez a maior das invenções humanas, unindo pessoas, cidadãos de épocas distantes que nunca se conheceram. Os livros quebram as algemas do tempo, prova de que os humanos podem fazer magia.”

Carl Sagan
