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.
Our methods:
- We used GPT-2 and Ephemerald.
- Running three separate instances of the generator using the following rules:
- length = 23; temperature = 0.666
- length = 34; temperature = 0.777
- 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.
