plures tales futuri ex legenda

salve est

yes, it is surely that time once again, look you see. let me risk my immortal soul to once more evoke my special powers so that you may, if you dare read on, know what awaits in the future. rather than, say, read as i recount that which has already happened. 

it seems (or feels) that we, humans, have a general thirst to know that which shall come. not true of all, sure, but in most cases if you go up to someone and say "do you wonder what it is which will happen next", there is a strong likelihood that they will say that to know so would be agreeable. 

the group who wish not to know such, as in they prefer to avoid "spoilers" or similar, would be most wise to depart this post now. know not what you wish to avoid by reading no further. everyone else, carry on and see what my special powers reveal lies ahead in the year (2021) to come. 

so as to give a complete (and possibly accurate) picture as possible of what is ahead of us all i have indeed elected to use all of my powers. which involve my magic eight ball, my bitter lemon ball and the most recent addition to my skills, the deck of tarot cards. 

great risk does, of course, come with my revealing the tales of future legend below. i have no doubt (or every confidence) that those in the darkened halls of power know my ability, and would wish for it to be silenced. but, just as the same as why they never just killed Mulder out of X Files, to erase me would risk turning me into a martyr or inspire a crusade. for now they tolerate, but one day they shall tire of such, and i have every confidence that one day i will fall to the fate of a state sponsored assassination. 

whilst i am still able to spread such prophecy, then, behold the answers to the questions asked of the year which shall soon be here.

for safety i decided to limit the number of questions asked of my oracles to a very Roman like decimal ten. this, to be honest, was more for my own safety, as seeing the future can be quite a drain. on a similar, and yet completely different, note, also it would be unfair for me to directly comment on the answers given, for you must divine your own response to the information. 

on the same basis, i posed five questions of the future to the tarot cards. it is better for me not to comment on the response from the deck as such, but rather to just present what it was that was revealed by the ceremony. 

the year 2021

the invisible war against the new plague

the United Kingdom

the United States of America

the fate of the world entire

once again i will leave it to your discretion (or interpretation) to take how you will what has been spoken of the year ahead, and how things shall go or be affected. sure, yes, absolutely a very big part of me declining to give my interpretation of such is that no payment whatsoever has been made to me to do so. 

would i ever consider possibly (ever so slightly) corrupting my special powers so that i may obtain economic gain or even sexual gratification from using them? oh, goodness me, yes, absolutely, of course i would. unfortunately i have no idea how to set about doing this, or am just too lazy. presumably i would have to set up in a tent or caravan somewhere, and advertise myself. also, come up with a catchy name. let me assume "gypsy lee" has been used by someone else, so i would need to consider another. if anyone has any ideas on how i can do this, let me know. 

right, well, having told you what is to come in the year ahead, i suppose there really would not be much else i can add here. so, enjoy the pictures and use the knowledge wisely.

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
