Ba-Honey
dense, dark, almost viscous
It is born of fear, shame, sadness, rage. It is abundant, stable, persistent.
Harvested
ATANOR
The Farmers' Tarot
Crystallize the Self
24 angular cards fit together into a torus. They will give you no power, only sight: into what you produce, from the Black card to the White.
A trilogy by Vincent Trapinaud · currently published in French
“Cruelty is not what drives them. Need is.”Les Fermiers, book I
Imagine a field… They don't know they are being farmed.
Above our layer of reality, beings feed on what our emotions produce. They are neither cruel nor kind: they look at humanity the way one looks at a beehive. What they harvest bears a very sweet name: the Honey.
The Three Honeys
Every intense emotion secretes a Honey. Two are harvested. The third never is.
Hab-Honey
light, golden, almost transparent
It is born of joy, gratitude, love, wonder. It is rare and volatile: it evaporates quickly.
Harvested
The Third Honey
the presence that feels while knowing it feels
Feeling fully, from a stable inner space, without being swept away. “It happens now, or not at all.”
Never harvested
“You don't leave the farm by hating the farmer.”Les Fermiers, book I

never power.
