This comes from issue 117 of the UK underground newpaper "IT", in (I think) November 1971. I also think I can detect the hand of Bob Calvert at work - "semantic co-ordination", indeed...
Paste this page down onto a stiff sheet of cardboard. Wait till it's dry. Then cut out each card until you have a pack of 21. Shuffle and deal into three rows of seven. Read the image / word combinations thus formed. The Galactic Tarot does not speak of the future or the past, for all galactic time is contained in the present.
"Great feelings of true love, earthlings. Welcome to this long playing event / happening / participation. A coming together of the people. The pop Apocalypse is coming. Hours of processing / collecting / performing information in an underground ecstasy message. The message is the mystery. The mystery is the rock form divine. The medium is dance, music, film, lights, jelly babies, mime, poetry, 3D events, playing together, reacting to situations together, worshipping the God Rock of your choice together. Custom moulded by Dr.Feelgood for you, we present the Total Rock Reality Live Fantasy."

Earth
A million year narration. Prepare for upheaval. Lord Chaos is coming. And Warlord Disorder. Followed by disaster unless something is down NOW to prevent it. Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh, dashed from our nostrils by the smell of burning flesh.
Pyramid
A breakthrough in the grey room. You should go back into the poet to look for the hidden wisdoms you have lost. The key to the future is hidden under an ancient stone. The starship is the experience box.
Atlantis Rising
As it was in the beginning, so shall it be at the end. Go beyond the words, the music, expose your soul, feel the electric wail, vibrate to the owl hoot. England rocks. The message is clear - frenzy, emotion, the sacrament is a Marshall laser beam deep inside your belly, the rite is the Yoruba audio comic.
Long-pink cadillac with two T-birds along on its side. Prepare in advance for a long journey. Radiate pranic energy. Re-awakwn the Forces of Light. The time is at hand. We the future want none of your borders and manufactured hatreds. The future is out of your hands and in our minds.
Space
All is possible. A time of trial. We shall overcome. The cosmic renaissance is beyond the powers of grey world authority. Hold your breath. Great changes are coming. Dark and light are building to a climax.
The Alien
New friends. Pleasure is the first and easiest. Pain is next, Hate is third, Illusion the fourth, Truth the fifth, Love is sixth and Peace must be learnt at the end.
The Time Card
The road that leads to many houses and the truth that leads into the desert, the street that grows red flowers, the ascent into high places and the descent into dark depths, the path of ever wandering and the way of sitting still. Our time awaits us.
The Silver Machine
Sombre, mysterious, lofty ancient pile. Enigma of remotest history. Who set thee here beside the Nile, Eternal watch to keep?
The Sun
The law of unity gives minerals a geometric shape, the world’s a fixed form, groups world in motion and in dense matter a group of single molecules around a center of affinity also forms the system’s blood and bones, of man and animals according to the same model as plants and trees.
The Winged Hero
Tertiary invaders. He penetrated in the mysteries of every sanctuary; nothing was hidden from him. He covered with a veil everything he had seen.
The Galaxy.
All dressed up and nowhere to go.
Horus
Out of the East-light. The hawk that hovers on the winds of time. Initiation beings at night, terminates with the arrival of dawn.
Icarus
You must learn to tap solar and magnetic energies, you must discover the natural cosmic laws and internal contact with life. You will then become agents for the powers that swing the stars through their courses.
The Aquarian Age
Welcome to the future. The Golden Age No. 11. The man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of heaven; the sign and signet of the Son of Man will stand forth in the eastern sky. The wise will lift their heads and know redemption of the earth is near.

The Watcher on the threshold takes us into solitude where the Voice of Silence may be heard. This is the friend of those who seek themselves.
12d Venus
Be inspired by love. Human skin vibrations. Take me in your arms, put me in your bed, eagle rock me baby till my face turns cherry red.
12f Pluto
You must enter the sphere. This sphere can be approached only by going beyond electro-dynamics, occult affinities and the master of manifested worlds.
12f Mercury
The universal matrix or great depth. The source of all that exists, contains within itself the origin of every thought and action.
Infinity
All good things must come to an end. Like makes like conscious.
