Entheogens such as cannabis seem to encourage and enhance certain modes of perception synaesthetically, and as trippy music plays we might find the various curves and rays in the geometry of the dancers on the tableau forming new patterns in our vision. Sometimes in the profuse arrays of faces and dazzling jumbles of shapes and colors one might experience apophenia and begin imagining glimpses of other fairies' faces and presences in the edges of imagination. There is no such thing as Hierophany in reality, but it's fun to feel synergies of sensation and fantasy.
This apophenia often extends beyond the colorful imagery on the cards and frequently manifests in the textual. In various places on the tableau there are words and letters which come into view as we descry portions of the titles of the cards, phrases on the erotica, and small bits of writing on the bric-a-brac. During some circumstances, particularly when influenced by delightful hallucinogens, the mind's eye might begin to make up certain combinations of letters and syllables and phrases. Much like an anagram or a game of Boggle, it's fun to see how many new words and useful combinations of letters can be discerned. For example, a fragment of text says "indiviDUALly twiSTED", but the only visible letters at the moment are "DUAL" and "STED". What do we find when we glance at
D U A L _ S T E D ?
How about:
dusted, lasted, deals, steal, dudes, tased, lusted, stud.
And if we provide a few imaginary affixes to various root combinations of the Boggle letters, we might find:
resiDUAL DUTiES STAyED UntIL DESTiny poSTED
We can do this all day. Tolkien said, "Not all those who wander are lost."

The Initiate Contractor took some risks and now he's being rewarded beautifully. The Medium (neither first nor last) was worried about the defense being ruined by a CoUPLe oF fuCkUPS, but now he understands there wasn't much else he could do about the outcome of this contract, he tried his best. The Dealer creatively attempted various defensive approaches, but also learned the same lessons as his temporary teammate. The bidder's magick is proven to be unstoppable.

Strategy:
All options have been exhausted. The Game~Golem automatically clicks the final pieces into position as the cycles of the music-box/ cuckoo-clock/ terpsichore-mechanism are resolved. No moves could alter the scores any further when the Contractor played his 8 Swords during the previous trick (W), so the three cards of that tierce plus the three cards of this tierce (X) will constitute a sort of "fortune-cookie" consisting of six Cosmic Tribe dancers whose dispositions were determined purely by the fortunes of the game. This provides us with a silly "poem of DESTINY", one of the three loci of the game; the other two loci were the PROGNOSTICATION (bidding and bitching) and the INITIATION (entering into the tricking). Every deal of Titanomaxia gives us these three interesting areas of focus. Here we conclude the second deal of the fourth channel of the ultimate saga of Trilemma Supra tournaments.
Initiate (Contractor) = Your final card is the Magician, the Least-At-Last, the terminal Ace which scores a bonus here.
Medium = Your final card is the Queer Ω Archon of Water (Ruler of Cups, King of Hearts, Roi des Coeurs) whose +4 tête points you must surrender to the contract-taker.
Dealer = Your ultimate card here is the HighFlier Ω Archon of Fire (Prince of Wands, King of Clubs, Roi des Trèfles) whose +4 tête points you must acquiesce to the contractor as you finish juggling your flames, and do the daNCE OF the eNDS. After the three players exhausted all game choices the placement of the Ω Fire Archon into the position of DESTINY is appropriate as he symbolizes a focus on the most dangerous extremes.
Scansion:
Initiate (Contractor) = terminate with Key WIZARD Ace of Trumps ("petit au bout"), magick trick.
Medium = unfavorably dispose Ω Archon of Water, acceptance.
Dealer = unfavorably dispose Ω Archon of Fire, focus.
Contractor earns +4 tête points for the Ω Water Archon and +4 points for the Ω Fire Archon (face cards), plus +4 points for the KEY terminal card (Wizard), plus +1 Tricky Point for the tierce; these 13 are added to their previous 42 for a new subtotal of 55 points as the dance ends with this Trick X of DESTINY. Next they will reveal their prior discards and calculate the scores.
