What is a meme? A meme is just an image that encapsulates a known story about humanity. It can be a scene from a ubiquitious TV show, or a comic strip of a dog sitting on a dumpster surrounded by fire. It can be the image of the Sun shining it’s light on all of creation so that all that is hidden can be revealed. In many ways the history of Tarot is just one part of the history of memes; it’s just one more way that we have, as a species, chosen to encapsulate the story OUR story the tale of the hero that has been with us from the first ape to find the psilocybin patch all the way up here to the bored apes. So come along the path of the fool with us as we delve into the roots and history of Tarot, and discuss whatever meaning may be hidden in these cards.
