The Distorter

Fractal Persona of the High Throat Chakra

Theme: Twisted Truth, Warped Expression & Manipulated Voice


🌀 A Day in the Life of The Distorter

The Distorter Oracle Card

I rise with stories on my tongue, but they don’t come out whole. I bend them—sometimes to impress, sometimes to protect, sometimes without realizing. What begins as truth leaves my lips twisted, stretched, or blurred.

In the morning, I feel the urge to speak but fear that my plain words aren’t enough. So I embellish, exaggerate, or shape them until they glitter with drama. Yet when I hear them echoed back, I know something has been lost.

Throughout the day, I speak in ways that make me feel powerful, but underneath I fear exposure. If others saw the raw truth, would they reject it? My distortion is both my shield and my prison.

At night, I ask myself: Did my words reveal truth—or bury it under illusion? Did I share from Spirit, or from fear? Deep down, I long for clarity, but my voice wavers between honesty and performance.
