#suspira

I'm actually getting the urge to pull from my Classic Horror Oracle. I'm so excited to see what is going to come through. My Chemical Romance has always been so near and dear to my heart.

I don't know what movie this is from, actually! I don't recognize any of the imagery, but that's okay. There's plenty to see here on this card.

The card that's come through is DANCE.

Things that come to mind while I'm looking at it are "danse macabre" and dancing plagues. There is a kind of mania in dancing. Something so beautiful can also be cause for despair, even death. But there is also a kind of revelry in it, even so. A certain "I will go down with the ship" aspect, only the ship is yourself. I'm hearing the lines "we're damned after all; through fortune and flame we fall."

The song "Mama" seems relevant to this card, as I get motherly vibes from the woman with the cane on the card. These people she instructs seem rather doll-like and rigid. Not real, in a sense, or being instructed on how to not be real.

But the woman central in this card, to me, is the one in the top left of the card and the woman in the bottom near the middle. At the bottom, she seems to be within the spell of this mother figure. But, she is non-conforming compared to the others. She has passions she is unwilling to give up. She will fight to keep them, lest she comply and die like the others are inevitably destined to do.

The mother figure in this card also calls to mind the woman from recent concerts. Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend their concerts, and I haven't watched videos of performances. But, I have seen a handful of gifs about with her in them. I think they're recent, from London or somewhere in/around the UK.

What stands out to me in this reference book is: "Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but broken minds." And, the implication that there is inspiration to be found in unwavering devotion.

According to the reference book that comes with this oracle deck, this is referring to the movie Suspira. I've not seen it!

You cannot break free without inspiration. Gerard's obsession with Joan of Arc, of going down in purifying flame. Gerard finds this kind of inspiration in her, and it's that kind of inspiration that's coming through.

This makes me wonder: what is significant about this inspiration? What is being done with it? I've gone with my Tarot of the Abyss deck, and three cards fell out.

KING OF PENTACLES + TWO OF CUPS IN REVERSE + THREE OF PENTACLES IN REVERSE

This King of Pentacles looks particularly contrite, but also incredibly adept. He is a magician of sorts, one who can conjure up the most perfect form of something. This perfection comes from practice. This inspiration is really coming from the heart, and it is being wielded expertly. The final product of this inspiration is going to be a real work of art.

There is a separation of some relationship. It could be related to a relationship with a person, but to me this feels much more internal and personal. A separation from a thought process, idea, or practice. There is an element of fate being sealed coming through here. The tumblr post "get in loser, we're going to live past the end of our myth" comes to mind.

The Three of Pentacles depicts three hands marked with pentacles pulling on a rope. In this position, it looks like they're pulling something out of the ground. A corpse, perhaps. I hear "resurrection."

This inspiration will give way to a new way of being. It will be transformative, transcendent. Rising from ashes through collaborative effort and passion.

What signs should we expect to see? What comes of it? I'm drawing from my Angel Oracle...

765

Descending. Something underway will not rewind, but will wind down in a way that does not lead to a final conclusion. I hear "returning to square one, but not starting from scratch." I hear "getting ready to play the game again."

I think perhaps the appearance of a new "character" will be a sign that the fruits of this passion are near. I get the sense of someone extending their hand out, giving it to someone who will help lead the way. I'm getting "search light" and also "letting hair down." I'm getting the vision of that woman mentioned above eschewing her role in a fascist and authoritarian system, choosing relentless passion relentlessly.

I think the end result of this passion will be more people turning towards this idea. Do not succumb to what is inauthentic to you. Do not accept living in a system that is hostile to life and everything that makes it worth living. Refuse it, break it, kill it and bring back something better.

Let's be real, we all want to know: does this mean MCR 5? I feel drawn to my Deep, Dark, and Dangerous Oracle...

MERMAID

Well, I'd been thinking as I shuffled my cards that if I got a response that had an instrument in it (somehow, I'm not even sure there are any cards with instruments on them), I'd take that as a yes.

The mermaid on this card doesn't have an instrument, but the voice itself is an instrument and that is a common thread between mermaids across cultures, along with their beauty and mesmerizing allure.

So, I think that's a yes. And I think it speaks to the quality of MCR 5 as well.

Overall, the message I feel I'm getting is that there is inspiration to create something new.

A lot of creativity has been exerted in recent tours and promotion, but I believe that My Chemical Romance has more to say on these themes which haven't been touched on with their existing music. There is a point that will be driven home, an epiphany that will be passed on to the rest of us through new music. I think its impact will be explosive.💥
