Note:
Interviewer is Spider Duncan Christopher: 00:00 Christopher introduces the interviewee as Ann Roy on October 19th, 1990. Christopher introduces the topic as a reading for “the new tarot for the aquarian age” and invites Roy to enter “the royal maze” and “the map of her psyche.”; 01:35 Christopher talks through the various cards Roy chose that relate to the body, unconscious, conscious next step, ego of the individual, and mask or projected goal. Christopher also talks about the cards related to Roy’s functions such as thinking, feeling, emotions, and sensation. He mentions that Roy’s intuition is dominant. Roy asks if we can think of intuition as water and emotions as fire. Roy mentions there is no negative interference between her emotions and sensations; 04:08 Christopher talks about her karma cards and her future and success; 09:36 Christopher talks about the balance Roy has between the male, female, and child. He also talks about “the you”; 10:50 Roy asks Christopher to explain the relation between water and intuition again. He talks about how we perceive the present and future; 19:45 Roy talks about a visionary experience she had earlier with bears. Christopher talks about how his name “Spider” comes from a tarot card; 23:10 Roy asks Christopher about the planets associated with her tarot cards. Christopher talks about her intuitive gifts from the cards; 27:10 Christopher talks about love and fear and the concept of error as “err-or” which can be corrected; 31:17 Christopher talks about the hanging-man card Roy has in her readings. He admits it is the hardest to interpret but can be seen as the reversal of the male and female energy, as well as redemption; 35:45 Roy asks Christopher about the card with a hand depicted on it. Christopher believes it has to do with an extension of feeling; 37:09 Roy talks about the “I am force principle”; 39:00 Roy tells Christopher about a family who had a son that was an alcoholic and had recently died. Roy relates the story to a time of great change and sacrifice; 42:30 Christopher and Roy talk about grief and Christopher brings up a point about Roy being white and how white people want to be rational or logical soldiers who are in control while Black people want to dance and party. Christopher continues to relate the tarot card depicted with fire to white people and the struggle they feel from the conditioning of their white skin versus the internal nature they have to feel; 49:40 Christopher asks Roy to write a letter to her father and mother, although deceased, as a way to heal. He instructs her to write down her feelings and memories from the perspective of herself as a child. He asks Roy to sign each letter by stating “I absolutely unconditionally love you” she then must reread the letter the next day from the point of view of her parents; 58:40 Christopher and Roy talk about the history of the word “man” and “mankind” and how much weight and meaning is put on the word man versus woman; 01:03:00 Christopher and Roy wrap up the tarot reading session.
