The "Really" File - (GREEN Tent Spiritualism)

Is this the way you repay the LORD,
you foolish and senseless people?
Deuteronomy 32:6 NLT
 
You got to be kidding me.....the GREEN RELIGION just keeps getting kookier...tents for divination for the myth of man-made climate change?...will this nonsense ever end?....Talk about GREEN SPIRITUALISM...
 
"....the concept of climate anxiety is now part of the popular lexicon. Yet while cause for concern has increased, engagement
with climate change has stagnated or ceased. This disparity is what spurred Leonard to action. “I thought to myself, if we’re not going to listen to climate scientists, we might as well be listening to fortune-tellers,” Leonard says. Then he took that idea and ran with it, using the art of divination as a conduit to help people grapple with climate change.
In The Tent, participants choose among three tarot decks—the classic Rider-Waite deck, the Tarot of the Boroughs and the Wild Unknown deck—and then pose a question related to climate change.

and earth, past and future. Participants step past walls festooned with strips of colorful, recycled cloth and haunting pastel watercolors of animals that seem to be on the verge of disappearing. It is an ephemeral space intended, through both shape and sound, to convey intimacy and connection with one’s immediate surroundings. Participants stand on bare ground and peer into an oculus that opens up to the sky—reinforcing humans’ place in the order of the universe, illuminating both themselves and the diviner."
