Roller-coaster I
I've recently impulse bought a tarot deck, can anyone tell me how to properly use it or link anywhere I could learn to?
Thanks.
Go to /div/. They have resources and experts there
As far as card meanings, that should be easy enough to find.
Of course, meanings aren't set in stone, so you'll have to take the circumstances of the question into account.
As far as actually using them, it's one of things that's best to not overthink.
Take an initial snapshot impression, and attempt to decode your impression, don't piddle the impression to death by trying to re-impression over and over.
As far as layout methods, this is what I do for my own personal queries:
>hold the "essence" of the question in mental focus (not the words, the "soul" of the question)
>being shuffling until it feels right to stop
>Speak the question aloud, intent directed at the deck
>draw one card, with the intent of "gimme the tl;dr"
>if that makes no sense whatsoever, draw a second card with the intent of "clarify the first card"
>lather, rinse, repeat as required
Basically, I start with the intent of getting a broad summary answer, then if needed start 'dividing down into the subtleties'. There's probably a better way to say that, but I don't know what it is, that's just what I call it in my head.
Greetings, and welcome to The /x/ Files, the weekly news digest for 4chan's Paranormal board. Every Sunday, we take a quick snapshot of the mysterious world around us and bring it, in an easily readable magazine format, to the board. I am The Editor, the anonymous creator of this idea and collector of the news that will be following below. In the interests of legitimacy, I will be using a secure tripcode to post the thread; once the posts are completed, I will take the tripcode off and return to my anonymity.
Over the past 35 weeks, I've come across lots of interesting articles that, due to certain factors, I couldn't really justify calling them news and therefore omitted. So this week, I'm starting a new section, dedicated to one article a week, that I stumble upon and think is worth sharing with /x/. All that, plus the news, C2C, the podcasts, and more, in Issue Thirty-Five of The /x/ Files!

Paranormal News of the Week
Possible Remains of the Buddha Found in China
Archaeologists have discovered what may be a skull bone from the revered Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. The bone was hidden inside a model of a stupa, or a Buddhist shrine used for meditation. Discovered beneath the Grand Bao'en Temple, the stupa model — which is 117 centimeters tall and 45 cm wide (nearly 4 feet by 1.5 feet) — was stored within an iron box, which, in turn, was stored within a stone chest.
An inscription found within the stone chest was written by a man named Deming about 1,000 years ago, saying that he is "the Master of Perfect Enlightenment, Abbot of Chengtian Monastery [and] the Holder of the Purple Robe." He tells the story of how the Buddha's parietal bone came to China. The parietal bone of the Buddha was buried within an inner casket made of gold, which, in turn, was placed in an outer casket made of silver, according to the archaeologists. The silver casket was then placed inside the model of the stupa.
It remains unclear if the skull fragment actually is that of Buddha or if the people who placed it within the chest had simply believed that to have been the case. Nevertheless, when the bone was displayed in Macau, the media outlet Xinhua reported that more than 140,000 tickets were sold to view the relic.

Paranormal Article of the Week
The Crone of the Catskills
"Several months ago, I received an email from a frightened New York man who believed he had come into possession of a cursed object causing terrifying poltergeist manifestations in his friend’s home....He and a friend had discovered the figure hidden in a cave while hiking in the Catskill Mountains, and despite his objections, his hiking partner decided to bring it home.
"As strange phenomena began to slowly manifest in the house, the two men became aware that removing the figure was not a good idea – it had come with an attachment. After the frightening manifestation of an old woman, soaking wet, appeared crouched in the dark shadows of the living room, they knew they needed to seek help."
This article details the story of The Crone - a rustic effigy with nails through its eyes and a noose around its neck - discovered in a cave. Surrounded by paranormal activity, it was soon sent to the owners of a paranormal museum, whereupon malevolent activities began to occur.
"Lying on the floor was a plastic figurine of Christ, normally found nailed to a crucifix. As I turned him over in my hands, I realized that he was missing an arm. On the complete opposite side of the room, swinging silently on a cross hung in the corner, was Jesus’ missing appendage. Something had not only managed to pull Christ from the crucifix without removing it from the wall, it had thrown the figure across the room. Sitting directly below the now-desecrated cross was The Crone.
"Nearly six months after The Crone arrived at Weird HQ, it remains on the very short no-touching list when on tour and sealed in a padlocked case when not on display. If not just because of the apparently-malevolent phenomena surrounding the object, but because we still can’t seem to understand its intended purpose."

I need someone who can cast the runes.
European runes in general.
I'll explain the specifics once you show up.
>>17903460
Explain the specifics now and maybe someone will care enough.
That and I'm bored as hell, so humor me?
In turn, have a free bump.
>European runes in general.
Do you think they are Asian runes? Maybe Antarctic runes? Martian runes?
>>17903466
Dubs checked.
I've consulted a few other divinators, and I now need somebody to cast the runes.
The situation in question is a girl I'm with who is in... trouble. We have agreed to quiet down for now, because her parents aren't approving of me.
Would it work out?
I already posted in the divination thread, got two same answers, went to ask a friend to cast the runes who decided to be a complete dick about it and treat me like dirt, so I cut ties with him.
>>17903474
I guess I worded myself badly.

Will scry for a while, just give me your gender and query with a song. I don't scry appearances though some people might show up that could be relevant or not, don't take my words literally, expect symbolic imagery and spare me from sex and crush readings.
>>17902515
I would like a reading from you. I'm a female, and I would like to know if there's something messing with me from the occult/paranormal side. I've been suspecting there's something odd going on, but I cannot check myself.

Okay, guys, I've been doing a lot of research into the strange disappearances in and around the national parks, and trying to investigate possible causes. I've read the 'Missing 411' series by David Paulides, and read into various other sources... And I have a hypothesis.
Now, feel free to call me an idiot, a nit job, whatever. I don't care. But...
What if there is, and has been, a natural predator of humans? Perhaps another species close to homosapiens, or even something else. So far, I have a few questions about this mystery cryptid.
People often report things like being disoriented, hearing voices, lost memories, and even seeing strange, humanoid creatures.
Could this predator be mimicking human speech to draw prey into secluded areas?
Could it have some mind-altering ability it uses to disorient prey?
How many disappearances could it be related to?
Please discuss, (or insult), I'd love to hear /x/'s theories and opinions.
That actually sounds plausible to me.
If it weren't for the strange things being reported, I'd want to lean toward
>forests are big and empty, serial killers
but unless they're evil psychic serial killers, that seems somewhat unlikely.
>>17902246
The elites have been using environmentalism as an excuse to transform more and more areas of our planet into natural reservations where humans are not allowed ( just google Green Agenda ). Of course the elites have access to these areas just fine, it's just the rest of us goyim that are not allowed.
So, considering what we know about the reservations and what we know about the elite's blood thirsty satanic practices, I propose that the reason people are disappearing is because they're stumbling upon their little private parties.
Children found in places they couldn't possibly have gotten to on their own, or being recovered, unharmed, miles away from where they went missing from weeks, sometimes months later. Children often tell the strangest stories when rescued, telling of faceless creatures, or ape-like men who talk. Most troubling, perhaps, wad the story I heard where a young boy claimed to have been with "the fuzzy man" or something like that. Said he wasn't hairy, per se, but... Blurry. Out of focus. Perhaps some kind of camouflage?
Okay /x/ i want to talk about this feeling today. It happens when thinking of death deeply and the void of death. You feel this feeling in your chest. It feels like an endless hole would be in your chest. I cannot get this feeling anymore, it might be because i have already accepted death and have no regrets. Maybe it will come back, i don't know. I only know one person in real life who has had the same feeling but she doesn't want to talk about it because it is quite a scary feeling.
I will now greentext the way i got this feeling, i don't know how others got it because they didn't want to talk about it (yet) but i will.
>Relax your body and mind, try not think anything, you can try laying down to a bed, just make yourself comfy.
>Close your eyes while your mind is empty, this needs be unconcious thought for it to work
>Your mind also needs to be dark, no colours or images
>Think of death, what happens after, what you feel after it, what goes on, associate things about death with each others and dwelve deeply into it
>Don't think these instructions hard, as said you need to relax and only think about death
>Hopefully get this feeling in your chest
I have not personally gotten this feeling in about 2 years, i have no idea if it works well. If you can get the feeling please share your thoughts.
Why would I ever want to invoke this? I spend most of my life trying to block out those feelings.
>>17901710
Because it is unusual and does not happen on normal conditions. It's all about exploring what exists and what does not. And one of the ideas of this board is to find odd and obscure things. That is also why i made this thread. I want to know more about this since i have first hand experience.
I feel that exact same feeling in my depressive states. A sinking, empty feeling right? A numbing quality to it, too. It's in music form at the end of Tchaikovsky's 6th.
How do i become a more high vibing, good vibe, dharma, God caren, or whatever you call the fact of having; if not good luck, a tranquil happy life, because actually i kinda have good luck in the sense that i always see worst escenarios than the ones that happen to me come close. I mean all of this in a metaphysic way, like spiritually or religius. Do i have to do some ritual, pray, WHAT do you reccomend me, i usually dont post or lurk in this board but ive seen some of you are into all these kind of stuff and i want to develop myself spiritually. Who is willing to help. Also post skype if you rather talk there. Ill be very Thankful if you help me.

Read the Bible, pray to God to help you.
Has there ever been mysterious attacks on police stations/forts on the frontier/military bases? Like everyone is just mauled to death?
Or even just houses and villages which got absolutely destroyed and human/known animals were not immediately or ever blamed?
Translation: Has anyone that couldn't be explained ever happened?

Someone explain to me manas-vijnana, alaya-vijnana and amala-vijnana, also the concept of "consciousness only".
learn to use google faggot fucktard
>>17901084
>classic
>>17900685
Alaya-Vijnana (storehouse consciousness) is the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is not non-conscious, rather, it is a phenomenologically impotent, dormant, undifferentiated state of consciousness, which we experience during deep sleep. It underlies all waking consciousness constantly, and all "leves" of consciousness "above" it, in the same way the depths of the ocean underly its surface.
Our dominant, manifest, "surface" consciousness is an array of different senses and sense-objects. Alaya-Vijnana underlies all
of those senses and sense objects. Alaya-Vijnana is in other words, consciousness itself. Buddhist thinking categorises consciousness into different senses and sense objects, like eye consciousness and its objects of sight, ear consciousness and its objects of sound, and so on. But they all obviously have something in common, they all belong to the aggregate of consciousness (vjinana), and Alaya-vijnana is what is common to all types of sense-consciousness - sights, sounds, smells, sensations, thoughts, feelings and emotions are all different, but they are all within consciousness.
Apart from simply pointing out a common sense facet of our experience, the concept of Alaya-Vijnana emphasises that formless, undifferentiated and dormant level of consciousness as a different current of consciousness to manifest consciousness, like a deep current at the bottom of a stream, underneath the currents on its surface.
I was at a UFO convention last week in Roswell, and there was a panel comprised of some investigators who claimed to mostly investigate cattle mutilations at the behest of local ranchers.
I asked them if they had come across cases of human mutilation, since I've heard of a few: they became visibly uncomfortable, and said it's a topic they know about but don't particularly like to discuss. Even so, I was told of a case he had heard of, near the Canadian border, about a woman being found in her car in a field with most of her organs surgically excised without any cuts, but instead appearing as if her organs had been "sucked out" through holes made in her torso, as well as other signs that have been observed in cattle mutilations. I was told he didn't know much about the case since police classified it as a homicide and did not give out much details.
He said most investigators and UFOlogists stay away from the human mutilation topic, and told me that the other "unspeakable taboo" in the UFO investigation community is that of "child abductions in regards to UFO activity".
Why is that, /x/? On the other hand, you'd think it'd be of the most pressing concern.

>Why is that, /x/? On the other hand, you'd think it'd be of the most pressing concern.
Focus on the most pressing concern makes the majority of ufologists appear inept, because the cases are unresolved.
The taboo topics make grey positivists extremely sinister.
>>17900377
>The taboo topics make grey positivists extremely sinister
What exactly is their aim in mutilating cattle and humans? I was thinking perhaps these extra-terrestrials are like humans: that is, there may be fringe elements - individuals - in their society analogous to our serial killers and murderers who come to our planet for the sake of killing for pleasure.
Did I get it right? Is this how I can do long-distance conversing? Or am I missing something?
