A couple conversations sparked off the New Year special draw for the Tarot Poker table... specifically around that damn Devil card.

Major Arcana cards shouldn't ever be ignored. They're key elements to the structure of our reality, and when they are presented in a reading one has to pause and take note of all the possible ties it may hold. This created an interesting complex for me, as every personal set of cards had to be weighed by the devil's power. Is the devil an external force, or is the devil you? It's a simple question, but even suggesting it has become a little bit taboo amongst readers. How do you explain to someone that you are subjugating another human being? While I have found some success through revealing the effects of such behavior, I've never found a method that works universally. Each has to be met in their own language.

And this is where the ultimate rub came in. The only language genuinely available at this time is one rooted in pain and suffering. A shift towards understanding ourselves through shared experiences rather than individual ones is happening. And in the long term this is going to introduce a new litany of generational traumas. It is, it seems, the opportune moment for this great shift.

While we may not have the words to fully express it to one another now, we will find the words boiling out of us eventually. Letting these words root in anger, venom, and other forms of destruction plays very well into annihilation. If you can instead seek and keep the soft voice of final desperation, then perhaps instead of lessons through violence we can instead teach through invoked consequences. Some of us will need to get in the way of another swinging for those we cherish, and from the bottom of my soul I salute the guardians of the current age; To protect the world from yourself is the most honour bound state of being. If you are striking first, then I must say you are likely the devil indicated in this spread. I leave you with only a single point of advice: Anything that tries to master the world without mastery of itself will always eat itself in the end. Nobody without self control lasts longer than their breathing, and the erasure of such figures is a simple task for father time. If your case is truly for improving the world at large, look first to how you're actually using that world.

Change happens regardless of our personal desires, and inevitably change will eventually leave you without options. Until then, choose peace with yourself. Master yourselves.

There are ten spots open at the Tarot Table. A draw sent to your email every week, and only $25 for the month. Reserve your spot now, message me.

And Bob speed, 2026. May annihilation spread better seeds, the kind of seeds that choke out weeds.

Yes, I'm aware I missed last week's public draw, some of the subscribers pointed it out to me. Small snag, but fortunately it was only with Facebook and not the emails! We're going to move the post to Sunday, and we've added a prize for whomever has the best hand after playing!

Tl;Dr? Ante is $10 for a personal reading or $25 per month. Personal readings done as voice memos and sent to your email. Whoever has the best hand gets a free 1 hour reading with Lopik!

It's Texas Tarot Hold'em time! Ante up for your personal two card reading, and see what is most important for you to deal with in this coming week! There's a limited number of spots each week, so make sure to reserve your spot by subscribing monthly! Whoever gets the best poker hand wins a free one hour reading with Lopik!

Let's see what the collective reading says for this week:

Burned: 5 of Wands

Flop: Ace of Cups, Two of Swords, Judgement

Turn: Wheel of Fortune

River: Two of Pentacles

With the 5 of Wands burned, the spirit of competitiveness is less friendly and more menacing than usual. People aren't just trying to teach you a lesson, they're straight up looking to remove you from play. Make sure you're keeping your defenses strong, and not picking fights that aren't benefiting you in some way. Don't waste energy on people who you know can't meet your level, this is not the time to get dragged into other people's negativity.

The Flop screams indecision, and a deep battle between the power of choice and the chains of desire. It will be difficult for many to decide what it is in front of them that truly matters, and taking your time this week on all decisions will allow you to avoid rushing into foolish places. Slowly feel your way through the moments as they come to you, and ensure you're seeking the most valuable result for yourself.

The Turn adds a lot of chaos to the situation, as a spinning wheel tends to continue until something stops it. You could leave it to fate and chance, but I will always advise against letting Jesus take the wheel and encourage each of you to guide yourself where you wish to be. When things get difficult, don't stop, navigate the situation instead.

The River promises that all things are in fluctuation, but those of us who can juggle the chaos well can find great benefit from this moment. It's an opportunity to move yourself clearly towards the things that matter and define you. So long as you don't panic, everything can be managed.

Ultimately, it's a week of chaotic energy, careful actions, and needing to maintain a clear mind and judgement. It's about recognizing how your choices impact your result. And it's about keeping cool and collected, even when challenged to the extreme. Want more details on how this will affect you personally? Reach me directly to get your own cards!

Texas Tarot Hold'em is back! One deck played through like a game of poker, with every player's hand staying unique and personal! Message me if you'd like to get your own specialized reading, an expansion on the collective reading below!

Ante is $25 per month, but join before the next hand is delt and you get both November weeks, all of December, and the special New Year's Eve spreads! Just want to try one hand? Then $10 gets you personal cards from this week's spread. Here it is:

Burned card: 6 of pentacles
To keep the final number of hands equal, one card has to be burned. This week, the burned card indicates a loss of connectivity and receptivity in all people. Maybe it's just the weather changing, but people are pulling back into their defensive states and the isolation is palpable. Make sure you're doing what you can to hold tightly to the people that matter most, especially as things turn darker.

Flop: Knight of Swords, 5 of Wands, The Hanged Man
Have you ever been stuck in mud with bald tires? Or tried to trace a water leak in a multi-story building? Or, my absolute favorite, tried to buy concert tickets on a mobile phone while driving through the mountains? Some things just don't work. The Knight of Swords and The Hanged Man are exactly this problem. Stuck in a spot where the control feels completely taken from us, most respond with as much force and intensity as they can. The twist is in the way the Hanged Man forces it's hold; It demands submission so that a different perspective can be found. Swords is communication and thought, and meaning no offense.... but how often do you see a person change their mind?

So, the squabble intensifies. The anger intensifies. Some still perceive it as trying to simply improve the total thing, the whole neighborhood NEEDS this after all, but there is simply nothing gained, nor lost, by any of it. That's the other half of the Hanged Man.... while you're not going to move anywhere forward, you're also certainly not falling backwards either. So what the hell is it? Well, it's a moment to look within, if you can seize upon it. Refinement of oneself is the best option when you can't expand beyond yourself. Instead of just fighting against the momentary void, better yourself for when the gates to paradise open next. Don't fight invisible monsters, focus on what is immediately available: you.

Turn: Knight of Wands
Which, judging from this, is not going to be the common choice. Words and reflecting just don't last long, and stubborn activity always feels like results. Picking where to respond to others is going to get key, and remember the entire show right now is about looking for a reason to escalate things. Try to avoid pitfalls that will limit your potential reach. Risks aren't rewarded when the Hanged Man occupies the field, and there are nearly no ways to neutralize his energy in this week's table. You don't have to beat anyone except who you were the day before, and the only people who should help you weigh that are those you chose.

River: 10 of Cups
And the chosen ones are your family. Your people. Your tribe. Your closest of beings. These are the people in the distance we are trying to reach, and with the numerous December activities looming on the horizon, there's going to be a chunk of time and energy devoted to them next. These are the people who help recharge us. So why not make the moves and reach out to them now? You're not going anywhere fast anyway, and sometimes the best solution to a sour mood is better company. With the 6 of pentacles burned you'll have to do the reaching out this week, but it's almost assured if you reach to the people you know value your growth above your service.

Comes down to a nasty battle between the desires to achieve a lot of great things, but being very limited in the opportunities to achieve them. So where are you going to put that frustration? And, honestly, I'm only seeing a Full House as a way to eliminate the Hanged Man's effect on every single person this week, of which only a pair of 10s or 5s makes it possible. This means nobody is seeing great progress right now on any of their fronts. Awful setup for a new moon week, but if you avoid struggling and look for the bigger truth in the moment, then next quarter cycle of the moon you can unleash all the potential storing up. And maybe enjoy company worth your choosing them. Frontline, are you lucky enough to have those pocket pairs? Comment here or message directly to ante up and get your hand going. Audio replies will be sent every Thursday automatically for all subscribers!

I'm starting to figure that the modern crisis is just gen X going through menopause and manopause.

Just in case you're feeling weird this morning....

11/11/2025

On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month In the year 1918, a silence fell over a world that had known only war for years. This new found peace was expected to be a marked change for the human experience, but regrettably, the peace was not to last. Barely thirty years later a second great war broke out, and again , the human experience became about conflict and violence.

It has been eighty years since that second great world war, and while conflict has never completely left our world, it has not occurred to the extremes that we experienced in those decades passed. Humans unfortunately have very short memories, and as time has passed the significance of the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, has almost all been forgotten.

Eleven eleven remains an important symbol for all spiritualists, marking today with a special significance that some have been eager for all year. It is, by virtue of coincidence a portal day and with that comes a great opportunity for advancement and change. I find the desire though to do specialized personal readings in gentle optimistic messages to be somewhat contrary to the historical significance of the eleven eleven day, and I worry that as we focus more on what we can personally gain from this portal, rather than considering the suffering we have shared as a species community, we deny part of our history that once forgotten we will repeat.

Worse yet are the calls i'm seeing to move for Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day) to a Monday in order to accommodate people's lives , careers and regular planning, as though the holiday is about personal time off and not communal suffering. It's almost as though they've forgotten that nobody planned to die during those great wars, ignoring that our situations now only exist because others went through that sacrifice. As people forget the significance of symbols they lose touch with the wisdom that they represent. As we mock communal moments with individual focus, we disrespect our own history and ancestors.

As such I have no interest in doing readings or anything individualized for today. Instead, I need to remind you all of a very simple truth: Amongst our species are predators who would utilize others to advance their personal agendas in a manner that ensures they will never pay a real cost for their efforts. There are also always guardians and protectors who will not accept outside force robbing them of their own freedom to live with a gun to their faces. As we approach what is undoubtedly another great conflict between these predators, who believe them to be the superior ones in command of our species, and those protectors who know that there is no future for them but there is a future for their children we must preserve, we must each announce our truth and desire to live in a world without war. We must teach the lessons so we do not forget, again. The ancient symbols and traditions that help us to remember what costs humanity does not want to pay.

So at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Take 2 minutes of silence to remind you that voices cried for freedom, and that their cries must be heard when echoed in the present day. Remember sacrifice. Remember duty. Remember, none of those who stood against violence lived to see the fruit of that labor, but we who inherited the orchard they planted can share the fruits with all.

Over and over and over again

Happy Eclipse, and a safe portal day to all.

First Letter from Lopik to North America

It is difficult to not look at the shared disharmony between our lands but it is simply the truth that our nations face a collective challenge; one that does require an honest response. As older nations before us have discovered, there comes a point where the desires of the people begin to separate from the desires of established authorities. While many fear this a precursor to annihilation, it tends to be that burden falls to smaller shoulders for quite some time before it becomes a national collapse. We are not in the end times, we're barely even through the doorway to that opportunity. And this is more to our lament then regret, it means for most of us we will not see the outcome, only efforts on display.

When I hinted at a second American Civil War ten years ago, it was already well considered plausible. When I began to call it an open and active cultural Civil War in the 2020s, I feel most by then had simply accepted it as daily life. This was the most dangerous turning point, and perhaps the best opportunity we all missed to avoid what inevitably came next. While skirmishes and spats are now inevitable, it is incumbent on us that we stop and consider our limits as mortal under the Divine. Absolute Power does not come through the ability to terminate another life, and through usage of it one cheapens their own stance drastically. While I agree it feels Supreme in the moment, that is simply the instinctual predator inside reminding you that hunting feels good. It is a response, a replication from another form, it has no substance in itself for growth, and lives in stagnancy.

This conflict is, however, open and alive. It is foolish to cry foul when participants in battle for the power to live conduct acts to these extremes, as our own inability to hold discourse and honest community is what preludes such violence. We have forgotten that thoughts and words hold tangible effects in the physical world. In fact, it is those who have forgotten this the most that currently promote the chaos we all experience, a reduction to the smallest caliber by those unable to pull themselves higher. A forgiving society accounts for these types, but certainly never provides for them crowns and podiums to preach from. The whole idea that a mortal could hold Divine Right to Rule rests on the hope that the world will never change, but time and time again we are crushed under the consistency of time. There is no voice amongst us who deserves the right to announce another inferior, as all are inferior under the Divine, and we hold faith in that truth together. There is no sanctity in a mortal war, not one of words, not one of actions. We the limited children of Divine simply cannot expect to know the purpose of what else exists around us. We can say what we will interact with, engage, or allow approach, but we cannot reduce, eliminate, or exterminate that which we did not create. Your control resides only with your self.

Your actions, your words, are yours to be known and seen through. I've been taught that the Devil's Advocate is the most useless form, as it stems from disingenuous actions. I've found it helpful to consider all actions from such an angle. Do the words match the intention? And not just the mortal intention, but the Divine behind it. Does this moment teach understanding. Does this moment expand comprehension. Only devil's demand a plain view, Divine is infinitely complex. So can a holy one preach about the shape and form of another mortal? Absolutely not. He is neither sculptor nor author. He is no critic of Divine, and in playing one becomes a Devils Advocate on behalf of their church and flag. Divine needs no advocates. Divine needs holy ones to model the teachings, and inspire with their character. There can be no force in conversion.

In this coming Era a choice to force a path upon others may cause those others to act in what they deem is self defense. Before it becomes an open hunt, we need to catch ourselves and bring things back into possibility. Socially, we need to engage with one another not to pick targets, but take stock. Pull back to what is immediately you, your own mind and body, and try to focus it away from hatred. Try to consider that each and every one of us alive is afraid, because we expect the worst. The worst only comes if we choose to act on that fear. Leaders who choose to continue pushing fear and hatred have no place in the world that comes next, as their actions demand subjugated order combined with obedient fearfulness. What comes next, for it to be better than what was, must be about still conversations, and careful optimism. Small steps in a new direction is the only way to avert mass casualties, and neither side can afford losses of that magnitude. We here in North America are too few for any group to go forward alone. Let the spirit of cooperation take you to the places that fear will never allow. Create peace.

"Patron Saint of Lost Travellers" said the Spaceman...

He may not be of this world, but is it fair to expect he honestly knows what's out of this world?

Almost, ALMOST synced back into default world. Tomorrow should be the moment.

Festival season never fails to provide.
