Yesterday I posted an image of my celebration of the New Moon on social media with this text: ‘Whatever inspiration you hatch, make sure it’s the inverse of what is expected.’ This made a student in my Marseille course class and Nonreading program ask: ‘What’s the deal with the New Moon and the setting of intention? IContinue reading “NEW MOON MAGIC”

NEW CYCLE OF TAROT PROMPTS
When I come to the cards and say: ‘Please, ask me a goddamn good question,’ I can be sure that the question coming from the cards will not be informed either by my fears or my desires.
LETTERING THE GODDESS
When the Goddess comes to visit she comes in the shape of a magical writer. She writes on embossed stationary and golden cards. There are dunes and holes in the paper, and you swear that you can smell something resembling sand by the beach in a far away Northern country. The Goddess uses three differentContinue reading “LETTERING THE GODDESS”

Stellar magic. On a grand scale. The royal type. TheContinue reading “STELLAR MAGIC”

This one was truly very special, and given the circumstance, quite beyond perfect. It was prompted by an occasion connected with a magical task I have assignedContinue reading “SIGIL”

BLUE STAR
While walking the dog to pick some violets, I also go through a few ritual steps. For instance, every time I get to a crossroad, I stop and watch. Usually there’s always something there that makes me think. But this is not the kind of thinking that I associate with being an intellectual – LordContinue reading “BLUE STAR”
WOMEN’S NO
May you say NO. Just NO. You don’t even have to tag this NO with ‘no to all that doesn’t serve me’. Why this apology?
