Layouts 10/26/2006

Posted to Net of Mirrors category

Below the cut are two layouts of the Net of Mirrors generated by my little random-card-choosing program. This is just the raw output of two passes of the program, without interpretations.

At least they seem fairly hopeful. The second layout is especially interesting, with I Ching 1 (Yang) showing up in the direction of Yin.

Eventually, I'd like to have a page where you can click a button and have a layout generated with little icons of the cards in the correct locations, with links to the card texts.

But first I need to re-write the card texts.

And create mirror-card icons that are compact but meaningful.


The layout is Gates
Core -- The Self
        Gate 20: Lady of the Bees (Bright)
North -- Fulfillment, fertility, shelter, yin
        Gate 0: The Gates (Bright)
South -- Creativity, dominion, strength, yang
        Key 4 Waters: Incomplete water, Incomplete perception (Bright)
West -- Passion, danger, instinct
        Key 10 of the Wood: The Maker in the Wood -- The Farmer or Herdsman (Bright)

        Key 9 of Storms: Seeress in the Storm -- The Librarian (Bright)

did you do those for yourself? I haven't worked through the target, but the gates layout is quite spot on I think. Would help to grab the book and chew on the images, especially the twilight. Still, pretty smart. You paying mind to it :)?

I didn't examine them in detail: mostly just observed that they seemed apposite.

At the moment I'm focussing on mechanics of the layout generators.
