Tiphareth

Major Arcana poetic tarot fragment cards based on a GPT-2 instance fine-tuned with a cleaned-up text of Aleister Crowley's "Book of Thoth". Text composed based on a sequence of numbers important in Thelema for each card by Char. Then each card was adorned with a unique not-so-sacred geometry generated in Martin's Ephemerald.

Using:

• https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple
• https://martinpi.itch.io/ephemerald

Methods:

• Running three separate instances of the generator using the following rules
  •  1. length = 23; temperature = 0.666
  • 2. length = 34; temperature = 0.777
  • 3. length = 42; temperature = 0.93
• For each card, the beginning prefix = “[Card name] “, using Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot.
• Then, using the human pattern recognition machine to craft a small intuitive fragment/poem out of the results.
• Images were made using Ephemerald with SVG.
