Duncan Fallowell has posted a very annoying video on YouTube called The Catatonic Sequence. It features seven Tarot cards and carries a warning to those who are 'easily influenced' and mentions something called The Seventh Game.
Could the film-ette be a satire on the Tarot (my brother is a most proficient reader), or a cryptic tease of some sort, or a secret message to Al Qaeda? I seriously doubt any of you will know, but comment if you must. (Don't post anything news-worthy which you don't want noticed by the media. I shall use it. You have been warned)
Incidentally, Duncan's memoir How To Disappear has a new release date: mid-August. I understand his publishers Ditto Press took account of my astrological warning against a June 15 publishing date (wrong kind of Moon phase) and are now entirely in my heavenly thrall. I shall permit a mid-August release. It's possible Duncan, as a life-affirming agnostic secularist thingumy, is cross about my pagan intervention and has hit back with this vid. If so, I forgive him. Madame Arcati is used to being much misunderstood. And abused. (Click screen arrow once to play)
This is very David Lynch. Love the soundtrack
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you two have had a tiff. Anything I can suggest?
ReplyDeleteWhy does the camera wobble about? I felt quite seasick.
ReplyDeleteThe second card looks like three school boy cocks engaged in frottage. I shall be writing to the BBFC this instant.
ReplyDeletethe camera is not wobbling, it's breathing
ReplyDeleteIt's to do with alien contact. Just off camera is a huge mash potato mountain
ReplyDeleteThe cards are obviously laid on flayed wolfskin
ReplyDeleteDitto Press needs to have its head examined. I'd take my book elsewhere well beyond the powers of Madame Arcati, with the exception of John Blake of course.
ReplyDeleteThe catatonic state permits two routes, the cataleptic and the analeptic - and they take you to two quite different places
ReplyDeleteDrugs, psychiatry and the mysticism of earth-dwellers. Ever seen a crucified rat?
ReplyDeleteAre you suggesting DF's a vivisectionist?
ReplyDeleteThe soundtrack sounds like "the love chord" from that tedious wank book the Line of Beauty by auntie Alan Hollinghurst...
ReplyDeleteYes, I understand it
ReplyDeleteIt's Dementia Awareness Week.
ReplyDeleteWhy would an agnostic materialist want to make a mystery?
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a tarot pack. It's something else
ReplyDeleteWhat then?
ReplyDeleteDon't know. Never seen em before
ReplyDeleteThen you're not sure. There are so many different types of Tarot, I can't be certain myself.
ReplyDeleteAsk your brother
ReplyDeleteDrag him to your pc.
ReplyDeleteI don't drag anyone
ReplyDeleteWhat's so special about mid-August. I'm usually in total limbo then
ReplyDeleteI've just turned into an apple
ReplyDeleteA book release on or before Aug 12 would be preferable as the Moon is Full on the 13th - not terminal by any means, but you did ask. In any case I wanted you out of the eclipses season that has blighted May, June, July - these tend to delay; and their existence may explain why your book is not out yet, as solar and lunar eclipses have a tendency to frustrate even if for some good purpose.
ReplyDeleteIf Ditto can strive to get the book out before Nov 25 (the next eclipse), the rewards will be noticeable.
However, only a proper horoscopic analysis could reveal the perfect release date, though you might be lost to catatonia in the process.
I feel a superior Da Vinci Code coming on. Is it a book? The Catatonic Sequence - a mystery in the seventh dimension . . .
ReplyDeleteIf only Duncan could write like Dan Brown - ie awfully - he'd have a deserved bestseller.
ReplyDeleteDan Brown writes awfully! Ha, I couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteDear Duralex, Quite by chance I thought of you the other day and wondered what you were up to. And you write in as if answering the mind-call. Doesn't this persuade you the world is one of hidden energies?
