The Orbs of Unknowable Wisdom

I've studied Tarot and have a handful of favorite decks. You might say that I am intrigued by Jungian philosophy, symbolism, archetypes, the subconscious mind, and all of that stuff that is related.

Don't ask me why I thought that the eyeballs inside of the ostomy bag Regina mde me sparked me to think of them as tools of divination. It's part of the "mystery" and such things are ineffable. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I think my ostomy is my seat of wisdom. I call my stoma Ian-Sophia. There's a lifetime of wisdom behind that clam-necked stoma; I'm rather proud of it.

So without further delay I shall explain my system of "reading the eyeballs" and all of that neat stuff.

First, like a Tarot reading, there is placement and symbology behind that placement, of three eyeballs randomly selected. They are left eye, right eye, and third eye. The left eye symbolizes the feminine, the darkness, the yin, what you get when you wish for something, and all things unknowable, The Shrone. The right side is the masculine, the yang, the lightness, the thing that you wish for, and all things known, The Shrane. The third eye symbolizes the mystery, the transcendance, and grace.

I have five eyeballs and have given them names and meanings.
