Location: The Oval of Omniscient Oversight (formerly the Administration Building)
Organised by:

Bureau of Esoteric Administration
-
Society for Feathered Democracy
Chief Arbiter: Corvidius Mooncall (they/them), High Oracle of Governance
PHILOSOPHY
Traditional committees enforce hierarchy, linear timelines, and colonial logic.
Governance must be:
Nonlinear
Emotionally resonant
In dialogue with planetary retrogrades
Approved by the Avian Council
Decisions are now emergent phenomena, arising from tarot spreads, collective vibes, and bird consensus.
DECISION-MAKING PROCESS
-
Tarot Consultation
-
Major Arcana cards drawn to determine overall policy trajectory.
-
Minor Arcana suits dictate resource allocation:
-
Cups → student wellbeing
-
Pentacles → campus infrastructure
-
Wands → research innovation
-
Swords → disciplinary matters
-
-
-
Mood Resonance Polling
-
Campus-wide emotional vibration measured via:
-
Choir-like hums
-
Heart-rate-synchronised drumming
-
Scent-diffusion patterns from aromatic diffusers
-
-
Decisions weighted by resonance amplitude rather than majority vote
-
-
Avian Council Ratification
-
Resident pigeons, starlings, and crows convene on the Council Branches.
-
Policies approved only when a consensus pecking pattern emerges.
-
Tie votes resolved by “flight path alignment” across the Oval.
-
EXAMPLES OF COSMIC GOVERNANCE DECISIONS
-
Library hours now dictated by lunar waxing and waning, with opening times whispered by owl messengers.
-
Cafeteria menus rotate in alignment with planetary conjunctions, not nutritionists’ recommendations.
-
Course offerings emerge only when a card spread and collective heartbeat indicate maximum receptivity.
-
Promotions and tenure decisions depend on stellar harmony, interpretive dance audits, and avian nods.
FACULTY TESTIMONIAL: PROFESSOR NYLA THREAD (they/fae)
“I once proposed a new course.
The tarot said yes, the collective vibe hummed approval, but the crows squawked dissent.
We waited three full moons. Then the pigeons performed a pecking ritual.
The course exists now… and students call it ‘prophetically transformative.’”
STUDENT TESTIMONIAL: ZIN (they/fae)
“I tried to complain about late grading.
The mood resonance was low; the Tarot recommended patience.
The crows concurred.
I sighed, aligned with the cosmos, and my grievance dissolved beautifully.”

SLOGAN
“No bureaucracy, no ballots, no linearity. Only feathers, feelings, and fortune.”
