The Glitch Oracle

A question, an aspect, and a source: a glitch, a random value or a feed. The oracle draws a practice, an instrument, a construct and a caution, and records the draw. An oracle here is a reflective frame, not a prediction: the draw gives you the parts, and you supply the reading and one action. A glitch can be a real error, a broken feed or a repeated fragment.

It composes a frame; it does not predict. Record the question, the aspect and the seed before you interpret.

How to use it

  1. Write a question you can act on.
  2. Choose the aspect that fits, or let the draw choose.
  3. Choose the source. If it is a glitch, capture it before you read it.
  4. Draw once. Name one action or one thing to leave alone.
  5. Record the question, the seed, the source and the action.
  6. Close the session. Do not redraw until the action is done or abandoned.

Build your own

The oracle is a seeded draw over the workshop corpus. Replace the source with a real error feed, a tarot deck, a playlist or a search result. The record is the part to keep.
