There are, without question, extremes in life. We regularly track high and low temperature readings, year to year. The tides ebb and flow, sometimes higher depending on various influences and situations. Sometimes we feel happy, other times sad… and with practice we can better gauge those personal extremes. Most of life, though, happens somewhere in […]
The Lie of Dichotomy
January 18, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Good vs. Evil. Black and White moral choices. Joy or Despair. Life or Death. Our language and thinking is full of dichotomy. We often go as far as to define things by their opposites. “Darkness is the absence of Light.” We do this to the point where, effectively, neither of the things can exist without […]
Once More, With Feeling…

I hate feeling like I’m repeating myself. But, here we are again, me knocking the cobwebs off of this blog, saying, effectively, “And this time… I mean it!” That’s one of the reasons why last week, I kicked off my new attempt by talking about the full-year Tarot spread I did for myself. Because at […]

Well, it’s already been a hell of a year and we’re only a week into it. I started it out by doing a full-year Tarot spread to get a feel for what my, personal, year-long journey may be like. We’ve already covered the first quarter and the second quarter. If the past year has taught […]

January 6, 2021 by 1 Comment
I started the year by doing a 12 card Tarot spread to get an idea of what may be in store for me. Last time, I went through a bit of the backstory of that and covered the first quarter of the year. Let’s look at the second quarter now. April Overview: Page of Cups […]

I 100% believe that divination can be a useful tool in gaining perspective and helping you navigate life a bit. I also 100% believe that divination is *not* about predicting the future that will be. At most, it gives us an idea of what may be. More often, it opens our minds to possibilities and […]

When there’s a new moon in the sky, it’s the same side of the moon we’re always looking at. It’s just that the sun is shining on the opposite side.
Starting Over

It’s been seven years since my last actual post here. That’s… a long time. I was going to spend a couple hundred words going on about cycles and new beginnings and things like that… but I’ve already done that. Back in February of 2007, I wrote a bit about Patterns, Cycles, and Choice. (And I […]
Harvest Moon
September 13, 2011 by Leave a Comment
It is said, quite truly, that we reap what we sow. But what grows in a field isn’t always what was planted there. Seeds drift in from other places. Unexpected things pop up. Sometimes, blight or animals get in and eat seeds and young plants. Not everything we thought was going to grow, does. The […]
Justice, 18 Years Too Late: West Memphis Three go Free
August 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Back in 1996, I saw a documentary that terrified me. It was the story of the murder of three young kids in a small Arkansas town. It wasn’t the murders that scared me, though. It was what happened after. There were three older boys arrested for those awful murders. The evidence against them? Questionable, at […]
