"Failure" THOTH TAROT CARD: ANALYSIS AND READING. *update* AI interpretation of my "Failure" card "riddle".

 

Seven of disks from the Thoth tarot is less aligned with Aleister Crowley's fusion of Westen, Eastern and Middle East esoteric, although the card mostly has a connotation with astrology as the Seven of Disks represent Taurus, note the symbol at the bottom of the artwork.  Also noted is the 17th Century geomancy, which many occult astrologists would combine as a complete reading.  This can be seen by the seven disks, Four symbolising Saturn, Three representing Taurus, as the inverted glass shape of Rubeus (red), which if read from a traditional tarot card reading would mean bad luck.   Yet, with Crowley, he has further tarnished the card with the withered leaves that are now a dull purple, from phosphorous deficiency and blight.  A dying landscape.  Hence, the card's title of "Failure". 

Reading:   

Apparently, if the Rubeus was revealed to the Tarot receiver, the reading would end there and then.  I suspect to keep things balanced, this card would be read with another Thoth card, but since I do single, at this point in time, card readings twice a week; Fridays and Sundays, the 'Failure' would be read as a one.   So, I would create a riddle, to accompany the Seven of Disks (Failure) card.  As follows:  "What shape does two pyramids make, when joined at the bottom?"

If answered correctly.  I would say:

"Then may you reside within the chaos, in all of its decay and decline, with great calm and detachment.   For you are, your own guiding light."

If answered incorrectly.

"From lofty highs, the restless spirits await."

I asked AI to interpret my riddle, which I created as an outcome for the Seven of Disks "Failure" Thoth card, if it was pulled as a single reading.  However, I would have liked it to elaborate on the "incorrect answer" of the riddle, that restless spirits await below, if one was to fall from lofty highs .  AI's interpretation as follows:

"The revelation of Rubeus in a reading traditionally signals an end to the reading. 

In your single-card approach, the 'Failure' card is read independently. 

Riddle Approach: To balance the reading, you introduce a riddle related to the shape formed by two pyramids joined at the bottom. This adds an interactive and thought-provoking element to the interpretation. 

Correct Answer: The response prompts a message emphasizing the acceptance of chaos, decay, and decline with calm and detachment, becoming one's guiding light. 

Incorrect Answer: The incorrect response hints at the consequences of not recognizing or embracing the chaos, suggesting a connection with restless spirits from lofty highs.
