Digestion

In popular culture, tarot cards tell us the future. But what if we think of the tarot not a future-tellers, but as perspective-shifters? Not as keepers of truth, but instead as invitations to wander differently through situations, to notice new patterns and analogies, to find new reasons to move?

The tarot became an important tool in our exploration of rigged dialogue practices. Drawing a card was a way of making a cut, shaking things up, or resolving a blockage. We started creating our own deck, specific to circus and to the particular interests the project.

Digestion

This card represents the fundamental need for processing.

It is an invitation to pause, and let the process happen. It also implies the need to give to yourself something to digest. It is the embodiment of an active attitude toward life. Remember, it can also be an invitation to surrendering in accepting someone’s offer of nourishment.

Don’t make your digestion only about yourself. Share it. Share the process. The digestion is a reminder of the importance of life, processes and letting go. Embrace the full cycle. It is not suggested to block any of the necessary steps. Digestion can bring pain. Listen to that pain. Does it come from a lack of nourishment? Is it a result of intoxication? Are you trying to hold something?

Advice: let the cycle happen
