Force Majeure

Written by French occultist Papus, the following lyrics are taken from The Divinatory Tarot and portray Tarot card 15th from the divinatory Book of Toth Tarot

set. Occasinnaly associated to the devil, this card is perceived by Papus as the intervention of Egyp- tian god Seth in human affairs, through disasters, to drastically

change lives and reveal the true nature of men, hence the card called Force Majeure . Not to mix up with card 16th, The Tower, where this is the power of God

that strikes human affairs that rose under the sinful hybris.

Revealing the unforeseen A Throne

Seth

Fatality

Erupting Volcano

You overwhelm the Great and the Small the Strong and the Weak

the Cleverest and the least Clever

since disaster is a great leveller

Rising out a flaming abyss

Men being chained at your feet Brandishing a torch

In obscure times

Its name is

Fatality

Through pain and sufferings

It brings the truth through darkness
