# Documentation of Monday Morning Rituals
***Over the course of 8 weeks, students from XPUB prepared a ritual to perform at the top of Monday morning class. We explored cultural rituals such as the birthday cake and coffee-ground reading, but also more personal rituals such as 'going to sleep' rituals, a personal hard-drive purification, and the creation of worry-dolls.***
### Week 1, January 9th 2023: Tea and Cookies
***Performed by... Artemis and Lidia***
Artemis and Lidia introduced us to Monday Morning Rituals on the first cold, dark, wintery Monday morning. We shared cookies with tea as a way to open up the semester and get to know each other. The ritual of a hot drink and cookies are well-known around the world as a moment of gathering, peace, gossip, and self-care.
![Artemis and Lidia's Preparations](Lidia_Ritual.jpeg)
### Week 2, January 16th 2023: Coffee Fortune-Telling
***Performed by... Aglaia***
For Aglaia's ritual, we sat in a circle while the coffee was being prepared from the ancient Stove priestess who placed in the middle. When it was done, it was served to the participants in special coffee cups. We drank our coffees while gossiping and eating cookies. When everybody was done, we swirled the cup counter-clockwise 3 times and turned the coffee cup upside down over the cup's saucer. We waited patiently for 5 minutes for the fortune to be prepared. Everybody had to tell the Fortune of the person sitting on their left side by reading the coffee grounds until the circle was done.

### Week 3, January 23rd 2023 Hard Drive Purification
***Performed by... Stephen***
Stephen prepared a few zines with instructions in order to conduct a ceremonial cleansing of not only our browser history and cookies, but also our trash cans/recycle bins. All operating systems were welcome.
The zine was a reminder to 'clean' messy space up (for yourself), and was written in such a way that instructed us to recite sentences at the same time, with one person leading the group a play on the magic circle.
![Stephen's Ritual](Stephen_Ritual.jpeg)
### Week 4, January 30th 2023: Birthday Cake
***Performed by... Boyana***
To celebrate Agalaia's birthday, Boyana baked a cake (and Ada made jellies). We sat in a circle, gathering around the cake. The person who had their birthday most recently sliced the cake, and we took turns to wish them our blessings. After going through a round, we ate together.
![Boyana's Birthday Cake and Ada's Jellies](Boyana_Ritual_Cake-jelly.jpeg)
### Week 5, February 6th 2023: Special Issue Prediction Ritual (SIPR)
***Performed by... Ada***
For Ada's ritual, Ada brought in a deck of tarot cards to read the fortune of the Special Issue you are holding in your hands right now.
Her text made us laugh, and we have chosen to include it in full:
"The priestess Ada will start the ritual by playing the ceremonial music on the sacred Spotify. Candles shall be turned on.
Then three human sacrifices will be selected amongst the group through a collective decision.
The three sacrificial people will then select three cards from either of the two decks given by the priestess. While they do so, they must think of the special issue.
The priestess will then interpret the cards and together we shall rejoice in having found out our special issues future."
![Unfortunately, we forgot to take photographs of this ritual. We were too distracted by our fortune. Here is a stock image instead.](ada_ritual.jpeg)
### Week 6, February 13th 2023: Guided Meditation (A Nighttime Ritual)
***Performed by... Cara***
Cara's ritual related to her history of having a hard time falling asleep at night. Over the years, she has found that music - especially quiet music with the sound of nature (field recordings) really helps her fall asleep. She DJs outside of class and plays a lot of ambient, narrative DJ sets. For her ritual, she played a sound-piece she had made of field recordings around Rotterdam (the sound of water lapping against a water taxi, the sound of wind, the sound of rain) and read out a poem about sleeplessness from a collection of literature about the Night. The ritual was meant to lull everyone to a moment of peace.
![Cara's Ritual](Cara_Ritual.jpeg)
### Week 7, February 20th 2023: Worry Dolls
***Performed by... Irmak***
Irmak's ritual was about how to ease our worries. We wrote down our worries on a pink piece of paper and shared them with a hand-made doll that Irmak brought. These dolls are called Worry dolls (also called trouble dolls; in Spanish, Muñeca quitapena) and originate from Guatemala. There is one in each box of our special issue.

title: Fiction Friction
author: Irmak, Aglaia

# Fiction Friction
## story telling tool
Fiction Friction cards are prepared by two wonderers who spent a fair
amount of time thinking about healing,witchcraft and (contemporary)
witch-hunting, rituals, Tarot culture. This approach can be seen as a
way to create a ritual or a (personal) journey into a collective
representation. The cards in a way carry our identities, individual
pasts, collective memory moments, frictions and fictions. Our intention
was to reclaim the tarrot card ritual and reconsider the relation
between the given interpretation and the figure of the future teller by
reversing it- since he group of the players will be able to collectively
reimagine their own meaning of the cards. We are keen to see how
similiar or completely different experiences can be shared and learned
through this round of excercise. This small game/tool is a possibility
to write together, meet, connect, talk about unpeakable things, share,
interprete or even conflict. The card is a starting point, an interface
for an opening, for a promising healing, for a collective moment.
Fiction Friction is a tool for (hyper)textual conversations on (via)
abstract/symbolic/surrealistic collage cards. We based our collaging on
political events that we have experienced or have been part of our
memories, mythological figures from our cultures, collective memory
moments, literature that has inspired us, musical references,
individuals etc. The main components of the game are a deck of
illustrated cards, a dice with different methods of interpretation, an
empty deck to host the new potential stories created by the players.
How to play:
The fiction friction game/tool consists of a deck of collage illustrated
cards that the players can use in three possible ways.
1\. -One player picks a card from the illustrated card deck and place it
in the middle. The card is the starting point of a collective
(hypertextual) story.
-Everyone takes an empty card.
-In turns, players throw the dice to indicate the possible methods to
write/draw/illustrate about or via the revealed card.
-In the end of the round a small story will be created out of the
interpretations of each player.
2\. -Each player picks an illustrated card and an empty card from the
deck without revealing the card to others.
-The first player starts with a sentence about their card and leaves the
illustrated card upside down in the middle.
-Other players continue with their sentences\' according to the card in
their hands.
-The illustrated cards are shuffled and then revealed. Everybody then
makes a guess and match the card with the right sentence.
-The dice can be used to choose a method if preferred.
3\. -One player picks a card and place it in the middle.
-The player who picked the card throws the dice and interprets the card
accordingly.
-The other players throw the dice in turns and continue the narrative.

You, intended as License claimer, may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with additional terms.

THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
*6.**. Limitation of Liability.*
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
*7**. Interpretation of Sections 5 and 6.*
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

The Oracolotto cards present illustrations of collective dream archetypes, as delineated by Neapolitan tradition.

The Smorfia is an ancient art form in which symbols and archetypes from a person's dreams are analysed and converted into numbers. To use the Smorfia, one would thus recall every event, person and object that appeared in their dream, and then use the extensive list of dream archetypes to find the associated numbers. This may be used to find out the meaning of your dreams or, most commonly, to find numbers to play the lottery (Ricciardone, 1987; Zezza, 1835).

### ✧ How to care for the Oracolotto ### ✧ How to care for the Oracolotto
You may have been told that objects do not have spirit and have believed it. If you have, I suggest you tuck the inner skeptic into bed and let the curious child out to play for the following sections. You see, the Oracolotto, like any Tarot or Oracle, does not believe itself to be an objects. In fact, it thinks that no object is just a thing, but most exist in the spiritual plane as well. As such, all objects have a soul, a spirit that connects to yours. You may have grown up believing that objects do not have spirit. If so, I suggest you tuck the inner skeptic into bed and let the curious child out to play. The Oracolotto, like any Tarot or Oracle, does not believe itself to be an object. It thinks that no object is simply a thing, but also exists in a spiritual plane. All objects have a soul, a spirit that connects to yours.
This particular one, the Oracolotto, has a playful and deep soul. It asks to be cared for as if it was a living thing, more a plant than a pet. It asks to be touched, used, cried on, laughed with. Most importantly, it asks for a place to rest every night. I would also recommend, at your discretion, to free negative intention from the cards if you stumble upon it. This may happen if you do a reading for someone who turns out to have bad intention, or just a very heavy painful load. It may also happen if you use them alone in a moment of intense sadness or anger. In these cases, I recommend finding a way to release these feelings from the cards, by leaving them out to breath, or holding them in your hands while thinking positive thoughts.

# The Legend of the Worry
## Worry dolls
Worry dolls (also called trouble dolls; in Spanish, Muñeca quitapena) are tiny, hand-made dolls that originate from Guatemala. According to legend, children tell their worries to the Dolls, then place them under their pillow when they go to sleep. In the morning, the dolls have gifted them with the wisdom and knowledge to eliminate their worries.
The story of the worry doll is about a local Mayan legend. The origin refers to a Mayan princess named Ixmucane. The princess received a special gift from the sun god that allowed her to solve any problem a human could ever worry about. The worry doll represents the princess and the wisdom she carries. With this wisdom, humans will be able to overcome their troubles.

# YouTube Tarot
## YouTube comments as Tarot readings
The question for me (Irmak) at the beginning was why people feel the need to know the future or their oracles that they go on YouTube and subscribe to a channel there. Knowing the future made me anxious when for many people it is something to look forward to or head towards. For Ada, the answer to that question was simple. Everyone needs some clarity and a sense of belonging and safety and it's better and easier to believe when told by someone else. The problem we were facing was then about, how can a performance so intimate and personal be transferred online for thousands to see. Doesnt that strip the whole act of the tarot reading of its authenticity or specificity to you? Once you have someone read your tarot online, you are exposed to advertisement and capitalism in a very ironic sense. The sole reason you are there is to have a peaceful and perhaps sentimental moment with yourself, however, you are interrupted by unintended messages.
Moving from these discussions, we searched for the answers in the comments below certain tarot videos. Many commenters mentioned how their life changed after the reading, how their luck came back and their work life improved, or how the reading helped them get their life straight. This was a community that needed tarot and used it as a remedy. In the end, we decided to use some of these comments as the interpretation of some cards. The main themes in the comments were luck, love and work. We picked three comments for each theme and made tarot cards for them with a divination board. We modified the illustrations on existing tarot cards and renamed them according to the commenters names.
The divination board:
