Day 55 - it's a kind of magic

Day 55
 
What the cards and runes said today? Blank expression, please stop asking questions. You already know enough.
 
Runes have blank rune, often associated with meaning "this is all we shall say, change topic or leave us be". There is no blank card in tarot though, only increasingly frustrated answers.

Cards can be arranged in 78! different orders. Math says this number is crazy big, like every person on earth could shuffle for every second our species existed and we would still not exhaust all orderings. Some thus believe that engine of reality aligns tarot ordering with the truth. That's pretty much all the logic on tarot divination. Runes are a bit different. There the idea is - when you reach to bag of runes and pull out some of them, you always pull exactly those that you were destined to pull, and can learn from them what you were destined to learn. There is no ordering, no meaning behind each rune in your hand. Just the fact that you pull out the answer, because you pull out the words. Runes in the end are words, and this is why blank rune exists - because silence is also a part of conversation. 

I wish to one day be better at this. At divination, rituals, spells, charms. At magic.
