Tarot Verbatim
GUIDANCE We address that moment that you belatedly realize some situation you are in, and you react. We cover a few reactions. It’s fight or flight sometimes. Sometimes it’s a vision of what your life could be, and what it is, and what you can do about that. This is a vision that energizes you. Here’s a picture of your exit being blocked, and here’s a picture of the way to exit and avoid a scene, and here’s a picture of ‘I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.’ You are not on the defensive anymore, in all these pictures.

Now, Part Two,
Do you want to know a little, or a lot, about how this Tarot Verbatim™ thing works? If so,
*Go to Learn Tarot by Observing section below. This tells about the combined meanings of the three cards in the pictures in the Tarot Readings. It explains how these cards get together in your mind to make the messages. HERE ARE PHRASES FOR ALL THREE 2-CARD COMBINATIONS is a stream-of-consciousness bridge to your subconscious if you use it regularly – people report.
*Go to Learn Tarot by Pictures. It is what each of the cards, by itself, has to say. It shows you how that illustration makes that card’s meanings in today’s Spread. All the words of each Tarot card reading you see here are a phrase-by-phrase translation of the scene pictured on those cards: no filler, no psychic impressions, no spirit guide. Word-for-word Tarot Verbatim™.
You can put all this together and intuitively see yourself how Tarot Verbatim™ works.
This is a group reading, with no Questioner and no Question to limit what the cards say, so there’s more variety – even contradictions – than a personal reading would give you. Also, pronouns are flexible: If the sentence feels like it’s yours, and it says ‘he,’ but you’re a ‘she,’ well, it’s yours.
*AND if you write names of any two cards into the Google search bar, it will give you meanings of those!

Six of Swords – Seven of Wands – Hanged Man
.
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
………………….…………………… Hanged Man is standing by as the realization, the vision, the insight into the scene. The scene is described by two cards that each have meanings that are opposite, which makes for quite a few contradictory sentences: Six of Swords means to leave or avoid (leave to avoid a scene) and to head off in a different direction from what you have been. Seven of Wands means both to be pressured or pushed around, or to put others under pressure and push them, or push back. Of course, one could be avoiding the Hanged Man vision (Six of Swords), getting on with the vision (Six of Swords), being confronted by the vision (Seven of Wands) and being impelled to action by the vision (Seven of Wands). All these meanings are reconciled if the sentence says you realize the choice is leaving, or staying and fighting: fight or flight. But that is only one sentence, and we have to have a bunch here.
………………………….. Six of Swords is leaving the scene to live another day in a better future – better because it can’t get any worse. It is about avoiding the scene too. Then it can turn around and be about how things are improving, how much better the future is. That’s because it means ‘leaving one situation to go to a better one,’ so the emphasis can be at one or the other end of that. But Six of Swords can also be getting out of a fix, a bad situation. Its mood is hopeful, but it is about a situation that is haunting. It can mean ‘the departed’ and can mean getting on with life after someone left.
………………………….. Seven of Wands can say you are under pressure, people are in your face confronting you, you are being pushed around … or it can say you are standing up to an invasion of your rightful turf, you are ‘mad as hell and won’t take it anymore.’ It can also be the unreasonable demands of a pest (mooch, bully, drunk who wants the car keys, etc.). It can be someone whose property is being invaded or encroached upon. It can be an abusive situation – any kind at all. And it can be you being galvanized into action (for any reason, or no reason).
..…………….…………. Hanged Man is your subconscious kicking in – that aha! moment, the vision that appears in whole cloth before your wondering eye. It is ‘I get it.’ It is insight, and psychic foresight, psychic realization. You see an upside-down person hanging from a tree (Myths from several countries, several centuries, involve this theme) with a halo of energy around his head. This describes the upside-down hair-on-fire feeling you get when your subconscious seizes the controls of your mundane mentality.
……….…………. Six of Swords and Seven of Wands Six of Swords and Seven of Wands Seven of Wands, as you can see from its picture, is being confronted; is in your face; is meeting a challenge; is feeling energized or galvanized; is making a push or being pushed or pressured. It can be a harangue (on his soapbox) too, which we interpret as being urged, here. Six of Swords, in the company of Seven of Wands today is: leaving your life behind you; change your ways; getting out; I’m on my way; a do-it-yourself moment; a big push; and getting away from something. These are the involved sentences:
_ confronts you with leaving your life behind you.
I urge you to change your ways.
Energized by getting out and meeting the challenge.
… how to meet the challenge now, and I’m on my way.
Never have I felt so energized to get underway with something.
This is a do-it-myself moment, and I’m headed that way, too!
To make a big push and get myself out of this fix!
A _ I cannot get away from is in my face suddenly.
Six of Swords is leaving, quitting, avoiding, or evading. Flanked by Seven of Wands, here is what all that dropping out is about: aggression, pressure, confrontation, blocking, standing up for myself. Here are the sentences:
When he is about to get aggressive, I just leave.
The pressure to quit.
They will do anything to avoid me confronting them.
He can block me from leaving him.
You can just evade a confrontation.
Standing up for myself is something I avoided.
Seven of Wands is usually about standing up and fighting or defending in a fight, besides meaning ‘insisting’ type things. ‘I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore’ is signature Seven of Wands. (Remember that; it rings true in readings.) Battle cries usually belong to this Rider Waite Tarot card in Tarot Verbatim™, phrases like ‘Stand up and fight.’ Seven of Wands is: fighting mode, not about to, fighting your way out, and not giving up. Seven of Wands is defensive too, but in ‘I’m no longer defensive,’ Six of Swords is making the ‘no longer’ part. So Six of Swords in this group means: leave, let off easy, from now on, your way out of this; leaving town; giving up; no longer.
‘Stand up and fight’ or ‘Leave with your tail between your legs.’
When his fighting mode is coming on, he just leaves.
… let you off easy? – well, I’m not about to.
From now on, I am standing up for and defending my turf.
You are fighting your way out of this.
You are NOT leaving town.
I’m not letting myself give up.
I no longer am defensive. x..
……….………… Six of Swords and Hanged Man Six of Swords and Hanged Man say an idea, enlightenment, gets you on your way in a new direction. A vision changes your ways. Six of Swords is of course getting you on your way in a new direction, and changing your ways. Hanged Man is an idea, enlightenment, faith, a vision, a sub- or super- conscious realization. Here are sentences that arise from the union of these two cards using these two meanings of theirs in Tarot Verbatim™:
I am inspired to get myself out of this fix.*
A vision I _ get away from.
From now on … it just hit me.
From now on … I get it!
__ is something I avoided, but now I get it.
That moment when you realize you are on your way out of this.
I realize … and I’m headed that way too.
… felt so energized to get underway with something.
Six of Swords can be leaving in defeat, giving up, evading a loss, quitting, and Hanged Man can be an intense feeling, sensing something (or sensing what will be) as well as an inspiration, and as well as just translating ‘think’ or ‘thinking.’ Then you get sentences like these:
You see ‘Leave with your tail between your legs.’
… even think of giving up.
You thought I was going to let you off easy?
… know you are leaving town.
I sense … and I just leave.
He senses … and he just leaves.
I feel like quitting.
An inspiration that you can just evade _.
Six of Swords and Hanged Man can say ‘I no longer feel’ because Six of Swords is ‘not anymore’ and Hanged Man is feeling. They also say ‘He thinks’ and anything about leaving, which of course is Six of Swords. x..
………..………… Seven of Wands and Hanged Man Seven of Wands and Hanged Man are both about being energized; both can translate ‘in my face,’ too.
Seven of Wands is confronted with, and is resisting; Hanged Man is realizing, enlightenment, being energized by an insight, knowing-without-knowing, and knowing, being inspired, a vision – and it means realize most of the time. So here we have a picture of being galvanized by an idea, which amounts to a sudden unwelcome change of perspective. Sentences for the meanings of these meanings for Seven of Wands and Hanged Man are:
Enlightenment confronts you.
Energized by an insight of how to meet the challenge.
I already know how to meet the challenge now.
I urge you to … and I get that through to you!
… so energized to … until right now.
I realize this is a do-it-myself moment.
I am inspired to make a big push.
A vision is in my face suddenly.
So Seven of Wands and Hanged Man have to mean ‘inspired resistance’ too, right? Seven of Wands is resisting, is ‘mad as hell and not going to take it anymore,’ is being confronted, is standing up for himself and defending his turf … is fighting, and is not about to leave under this pressure. Hanged Man feels intensely, is worked up or inspired, and has a thought. These are the sentences for this part of the meaning of these two Rider Waite Tarot cards:
INSPIRED RESISTANCE
I’m mad as hell and not going to take it anymore – it just hit me.
I am standing up for and defending my turf: I get it!
Standing up for myself is … but now I get it.
That moment when you realize you are fighting ….
Let them know you are NOT ….
You see ‘Stand and fight’ ….
Feel intensely defensive.
Lastly, we have the sentences that feature the simple ‘think’ of Hanged Man, with the simple ‘resistance’ of Seven of Wands:
I’m not letting myself even think of __.
You thought I was … – well, I’m not about to. x..
Quite often, a decisive moment – maybe a moment that comes upon us suddenly and we act out of the subconscious insight – sets our life course for good or ill. Sometimes acting on this vision starts out as a blunder and ends up being our most brilliant move. Sometimes an impulsive act to head off, or not head off, in a given direction isn’t so brilliant. So the unwritten suggestion between these lines is to take time out and think consciously after the subconscious vision has seized the mechanism at a given moment.

Six of Swords ……….. Quite often, a decisive moment – maybe a moment that comes upon us suddenly and we act out of the subconscious insight – sets our life course for good or ill. Sometimes acting on this vision starts out as a blunder and ends up being our most brilliant move. Sometimes an impulsive act to head off, or not head off, in a given direction isn’t so brilliant. So the unwritten suggestion between these lines is to take time out and think consciously after the subconscious vision has seized the mechanism at a given moment.
.
Seven of Wands …………. Seven of Wands shows an attack and the defense against it. The outnumbered property owner is in the process of shoving the neighbors who invade his pasture off his property, in an unexpected confrontation with the bunch of them. (See how he has only one shoe, and is in his night-clothes.) Often, Seven of Wands is an abusive person, a demanding mooch, a mouthy unstable person (drunk, teenager, abusive relative, etc.). Often, it is also a person who is being harassed at work or in family politics. Surrounding cards will say which it is.
.
Hanged Man …………. Hanged Man is all about realization from the subconscious or even superconscious. It can be a vision; it is definitely insight and realization. It can be that hindsight of ‘I coulda had a V-8’ or the ‘Lipstick on the collar’ moment. It can be the foresight of spiritual awakening. It can be the mind-blowing experience of a different perspective. Its most frequent translate is realization or realize. ‘Get it’ is another Hanged Man word. It is also telepathy, intense feeling, and psychic awarenesses.

Tarot Verbatim
Guidance It’s all about getting out. Sometimes, you just have the idea to get out … had enough of this. Sometimes you have to get out of there, whether slow or fast, whether it’s your idea or whether you are under some outside pressure to. Dropping out instead of sticking around to struggle against the odds. Avoid defending yourself with someone who is confrontational. It’s such a life change to break out and get on your way … perplexed about this. And why is this person so mouthy when you are going out of your way to avoid meeting up? If so much stands in the way of gradual withdrawal, it must be time to drop out.

Eight of Cups
Six of Swords – Seven of Pentacles – Seven of Wands
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
.
Six of Swords and Eight of Cups both mean leaving. Six of Cups is leaving gradually, putting it behind. Better times are ahead, mostly because things are so awful right now. Eight of Cups is leaving fast, leaving abruptly, leaving without notice, making a detour, changing course abruptly, or even dropping out.
Seven of Wands involves the issue of leaving, too. Seven of Wands can be the reason for leaving – being pushed out or confronted – or can be insisting on leaving, or protesting leaving, or can be standing in the way, as in “You’re not going anywhere.” Seven of Wands mouths off, raises hell … is the mouthy adolescent. As I have said before, this Rider Waite Tarot card can be ‘I’m mad as hell and won’t take it anymore,’ or can be ‘Gimme the car keys, and, no I ain’t fillin’ the tank.’ A person is worked up about holding his/her ground. In the illustration, a landowner fights his neighbors for his home.
Seven of Pentacles is wondering, puzzling, contemplating. Yes, it is a ‘Duh’ card. It is one of the cards that makes a sentence a question. In the illustration, he wonders whether his work growing this plant will come to fruition: cucumbers.
Six of Swords and Seven of Pentacles combines wondering with leaving an undesirable scene.
Some of the phrases for these two here are: Why did I leave? Maybe I am on the way out. How to move on to a better life. Suspect that moving to another city. Seems to have left that self behind. Gradual withdrawal … I figure. On his way out anyway. Wonder how to exit. Why, when I avoid (him). Not sure how to get away.
Six of Swords and Seven of Wands combines getting away (Six of Swords) with: being blocked, being pushed out or pressured, or holding your ground protesting. It’s Seven of Wands’ variations that create the variety.
Our phrases for these two are: a struggle to have a better future by moving on. Being blocked from getting out of a bad situation for a better one. He is so mouthy you try to avoid him. You are blocked from getting away. That hellraising fella is on his way out.
Seven of Pentacles and Seven of Wands combine wondering with being blocked, being pushed out or pressured, or holding your ground protesting. Once again, Seven of Wands makes the variety because it it different meanings, and Seven of Pentacles has so few.
Here are some of the portions of sentences these two Rider Waite Tarot cards have contributed to today’s messages: Perplexed re how to break out. Contemplating fighting my way. Resisting the uncertainty. They won’t let me, so maybe. Contemplating what is coming at me. He figures defending himself in a confrontation. Why is he so mouthy? Not sure, when my escape is cut off. Get in your face unexpectedly while you wonder. How can we force this person. The challenge is whether to. Seems he got mad. Since so much stands in the way, I figure. Maybe when I was cussing at it. He seems to have … his adolescent self. The fella who was upset seems to have. Should I have a temper tantrum?
Seven of Pentacles and Eight of Cups combine wondering with a sudden change or departure or detour – which often involve ‘leaving.’ Expect some similarity to the phrases produced by Seven of Pentacles and Six of Swords, since Six of Swords means ‘leaving’ too. The two ‘leavings’ are very different, though. See Six of Swords and Eight of Cups, the first entry here.
Here are phrases for Seven of Pentacles and Eight of Cups: Perplexed about such a life change. Contemplating just disappearing. The uncertainty that comes with getting the heck out. Maybe I will quit. Contemplating leaving the country. He figures dropping out is. Why, when you go out of your way to. Not sure how, when my escape. Unexpectedly, while you wonder how. How can we, without notice? Whether to leave abruptly. Seems he quit. I figure I will drop out. Maybe it disappeared.
Seven of Wands and Eight of Cups combine Seven of Wands’ meanings – being blocked, being pushed out or pressured, or holding your ground protesting – with Eight of Cups’ meanings. Eight of Cups means leaving fast, leaving abruptly, leaving without notice, making a detour, changing course abruptly, or even dropping out. The first thing you think of is someone being forced to drop out.
So against leaving. Being fired, so I push for. A shift I will have to deal with. We have to give up. We have to detour. Disappeared, when we weren’t going to let him. Avoided a temper tantrum. Upset, abandoned me. Suddenly left his adolescent self. So much stands in the way that I drop out. Got mad and quit. Challenge is to leave abruptly. Force this person out of here without notice. Get in your face when you exit. Escape is cut off. So mouthy when you are going out of your way to. Dropping out of defending himself in a confrontation.

Six of Swords escapes and avoids, is leaving in defeat to fight another day, is leaving town or going ‘over water’ which is sometimes overseas. Six of Swords’ future is better because its past is so miserable. Illustration shows refugees being helped out of a place, leaving with the clothes on their back.
Seven of Pentacles wonders, puzzles, contemplates, asks a question, is making a choice. It has a ‘duh’ tone to it, so it can form the sentence into a question. I planted these cucumbers and I hope I have both genders of the plant so I will get cucumbers on my vine.
Seven of Wands struggles. Here, you can be defending your turf against intruders, or defending your position. Look at the picture: Seven of Wands can be the mouthy adolescent hell-raiser, the pushy rude obnoxious person in your face. It can be having a temper tantrum or “I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore.” Illustration shows a person roused from bed (That garb is an undershirt.) by neighbors who intend to move in and throw him off his land. The idea is, fighting against the odds – him against six guys – he will succeed in defending what is his.
Eight of Cups ‘I’m outa here.’ Abrupt departure, abrupt switch, abrupt change of course. Dropping out. Abandoning course. Leaving in the middle. Quit without notice. Illustration shows a pilgrim having to go off course because the river forces the change of direction or detour. He is expected to resume his course.

The past is behind – both the past that upsets us and the past we are sentimental about. Be careful on your way out of here because where you are going may be the next place you put behind you. And good memories are where you treated others well, whether they treated you that way or not: Being right is oh so sweet! – when you don’t have to be defensive about where you came from.
Six of Cups
Six of Swords – Six of Pentacles – Seven of Wands

Six of Cups
Six of Swords – Six of Pentacles – Seven of Wands
LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
Elements of quite a few stores at once present themselves upon our peeking into the conference room where these four are. (Sure glad it wasn’t the Six of Wands there!) Elements are:
*Leaving, phasing out or putting behind (Six of Swords);
*paying or receiving money, attention, or fair treatment, legal processes – doing right by another (Six of Pentacles);
*protest, struggle, being faced with, defending, standing up for or against pressure or incursion (Seven of Wands);
*and sweet love, childhood or children, home, home place, innocence, being a kid, old-fashioned values (Six of Cups).
So we put together the stories. Protesting about a child is Seven of Wands + Six of Cups. Leaving childhood behind is Six of Swords + Six of Cups. Juvenile court is Six of Pentacles + Six of Cups. Child support is Six of Pentacles + Six of Cups too. You can put these together yourself if you have the time and inclination.
(Do you like those exercises? – Tarot Talks is going to be a category of this blog, which will deconstruct four cards into all its two-card combinations and give those meanings.)

Six of Swords Leaving the scene, leaving anything behind, getting over it, phasing out, something is over with … anymore. The mood of this card is the future is better because you have run out of bad luck in the past. It tells you things are as bad as they are going to get at whatever point in the story it refers to. Illustration is refugees leaving a place with the clothes on their backs, with the aid of someone who has a crude boat. |
 |
Six of Pentacles shows people getting paid fairly for what they did. The boss is weighing coins to make sure of that. The scales refer to justice meanings for this Rider Waite Tarot card, at least in Tarot Verbatim ™. Receiving and paying money, attention, respect, one’s due … anything. Receiving and spreading germs too! Not to mention getting what (we) deserve! |
 |
Seven of Wands Mad as hell and isn’t going to take it any more. Struggle, protest, defending, mouthing off on the soapbox, teenage attitude, pushy person, fighting against – illustrated by a fellow roused from bed to defend his land from neighbors who outnumber him and aim to take it. There’s an assumption he will win against the odds. He is upset. Seven of Wands refers to being in the states aforementioned; it does not have to be a male per se. |
 |
Six of Cups Oh, home sweet home. Old-fashioned. Old love, old love affair. Old memories. Sweetness. Innocence. A home, especially a cozy one. Babies and children. Being a child or childish. Values. Your sweetie. Your childhood sweetheart. Little Boy gives Little Girl flowers in front of an old castle or apartment building, the illustration being rendered with curved lines and in soft shades. |

Four Card Spreads, Tarot Verbatim
Advice today concerns the role of chaos in setting things straight. Chaos is self-limiting, we suggest, because it must reach the yuk point, and when it crosses that line, the berserk factor is removed or leaves, thereby benefiting the very world it would have wrecked. This process is a summary of every novel written. It happens within us too, as we ‘realize we have gone too far.’ This realization sometimes has a tinge of humor to it – ya think? The courtroom is not free of the same process.
Is this the first time you come here? Well … what to do:
*Go to Advice (above ) which is a summary of the Messages. (Advice is everyone’s favorite part.)
*Go to Group Analytical Tarot Reading below. One or more of those sentences has something to say to you. Intuitively pick those out and decide whether to encourage or suppress them. They are about you and the people around you. They are about today and the days around it. (It is a group message like a horoscope, except Tarot isn’t based on someone else’s birth data, so it can be specific, accurate, detailed and direct. Our experiment here is “How much more accurate is it?”)
Did you come here for your predictions? – You are done now – See you tomorrow.Without a question to focus the answer, four cards can mean contradictory things, especially when the Spread has a card that negates other cards. Without a question also the pronouns in a group reading are more flexible, especially in some of these Rider Waite Tarot spreads. When a pronoun is in parentheses, feel very free to substitute. The question in a ‘real’ individual reading supplies at least half the information!

Six of Swords
Seven of Wands – Seven of Cups – Justice
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: LEARN TAROT BY OBSERVING
The centerpiece here is Seven of Cups, which means out of control, messed up, confusion, senseless, falling apart, bad dream, wrecked, ruined, havoc, chaos.
To its left is the mouthy punk, the way being blocked, insisting forcefully (or raising hell about) and intrusion into the life and property of another. To the right is straightening out, sanity, normal, and anything about the law (police, courts, lawyers, courtroom proceedings, etc.) Above is leaving this scene for a better one.
So our theme is things coming to a head because the pendulum has reached the maximum point of out-of-control crazy messes and has to swing the other way. Notice there is nothing about hitting bottom and having a salvation epiphany: No, it is the situation itself that causes travel here that ends the miasma.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: LEARN TAROT BY THE PICTURES
Seven of Wands Much of what Seven of Wands stands for is a good advertisement for birth control. We all know him, and everyone is him … has to be him … every so often. How he doth protest, the mouthy adolescent, how much hell a punk raises. The kind of people who shove others around and rob them. But it also stands for blocking the way of the intruder-invader. It means to defend oneself as well. Which is interesting because every bully I ever met pictured himself as the one who is put-upon and deprived of privileges. Pictured is a person who got out of bed in his underwear to defend his land against some neighbors we have all encountered ourselves.
Seven of Cups The demons are out, let loose upon us. Things are way out of control. We are confronted with a situation that doesn’t have a handle, a bad dream, insanity. Its illustration is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice story or Pandora’s Box story: the spirits are all over the place and unidentified, and there you are in the wrong place at just that time.
Justice What’s a nice card like you doing in a place like this? Well, to do what Justice always does: straighten it out. This Rider Waite Tarot card in Tarot Verbatim ™ often contributes the word ‘should.’ It speaks of a nice normal sane existence. Love its picture.
Six of Swords Things get better. As they always do when the obstreperous person goes berserk and the police come to straighten things out. All’s well that ends well here: They have come to take (him) away. The ship with the loser in it is sailing off, and the story has a kind of happy ending.

Advice Sometimes you just have to get out of there, whether fast or slow, whether it’s your idea or you are under pressure to. He figures dropping out is a way to avoid defending himself in a confrontation. Perplexed about how to break out and get away: It’s such a life change. Why is he so mouthy that you go out of your way to avoid him? Since so much stands in the way of a gradual withdrawal, he figures he will drop out.

MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: OBSERVATION OF THE SPREAD
Six of Swords is leaving, putting it behind, better times are ahead. Eight of Cups is dropping out, changing course abruptly, detour. So two of our Rider Waite Tarot citizens mean leaving.
Seven of Wands stands in the way, mouths off, raises hell, is the mouthy adolescent. It says ‘You’re not going anywhere’ about the leaving theme; or it is insisting on leaving, or protesting leaving.
Seven of Pentacles is an invitation to make a question of the sentence, and is puzzlement, wondering, contemplating and ‘duh.’
So the issue, the story, is about leaving.
MEANINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS: INDIVIDUAL RIDER WAITE TAROT CARDS
Six of Swords escapes and avoids, is leaving in defeat to fight it another day, is leaving town or going ‘over water’ which is sometimes overseas. It suggests the future is better because the past is so miserable. Illustration shows refugees being helped out of a place, leaving with the clothes on their back.
Seven of Pentacles wonders, puzzles, contemplates, asks a question, is making a choice. It has a ‘duh’ tone to it. I planted cucumbers and I hope I have both genders of the plant so I will get cucumbers on my vine.
Seven of Wands struggles. It can be defending your turf against incursions of invaders, or defending your position. It can be the mouthy adolescent hell-raiser, the pushy rude obnoxious person in your face. It can be having a temper tantrum or “I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore.” Illustration shows a person roused from bed (That garb is an undershirt.) by neighbors who intend to move in on his land. The idea is, he will succeed in defending what is his.
Eight of Cups ‘I’m outta here.’ Abrupt departure, abrupt switch, abrupt change of course. Dropping out. Abandoning course. Leaving in the middle. Quit without notice. Illustration shows a pilgrim having to go off course because the river forces the change of direction or detour.
