I found Loft’s choice to recall the story of Coyote gifting fire to humans so fascinating. On first read, it immediately reminded me of the classical myth of Prometheus stealing fire from Zeus to give back to the humans, especially with its focus on the trickster character (Coyote/Prometheus), the hiding of fire (in wood/in fennel stalk), and the way it provides origins for other features of the world (animal characteristics/women). But reading deeper, Loft’s comparison of the gift of fire to modern technology in relation to art was something that stuck with me. The fire, like art, was gatekept. Loft mentions painting and sculpture as inaccessible forms of art (expensive, time consuming, and generally sticking to certain conventions based in European ideals for much of its history) and technology as accessible and present. I especially loved how he positions art made using media and electronic tech as “[forgoing] the territorialized domains of cultural and artistic canons.” If the fire under the careful watch of the sisters represents the mediums tied to European artistic canon, then the fire brought to the humans is media arts, art liberated from that careful watch, and free to be honed for so much more.

(p.s. I’m really hoping that made sense as I am sick and sick brain loves to jumble thoughts around like clothes in a washing machine!)

Oracle Card

The Diviner

Represents Curiosity, Understanding, Learning and Obsession

This card is meant to embody the experience of desiring and engaging learning. Its the voice in your head that wants to absorb as much information about a topic that it can, sometimes to your own detriment. It revels in understanding the unknowns of the world, and engages with both the physical and mental aspects of learning.

a positive reading is that it represents a new experience or understanding that will empower you moving forward. or a passion for something born of genuine interest.

A negative reading is that it represents an unhealthy obsession, an attempt to understand something to the detriment of yourself or your surroundings.

This card making process is not completely alien to me oddly enough, as in my last experimental studio class I made a miniature tarot deck. This card was an opportunity to expand on that initial concept further. The original cards I made were all based on various aspects of my thoughts, specifically the different perspectives and inner monologues I think of in my day to day activities. The Deck served as a way to represent the totality of a mind as various individual components coming together to create a cohesive whole.
