A couple weeks back I was interviewed by the Greg Carlwood of The Higherside Chats. This has been an enlightening and freeing experience for me as I had never been interviewed before. We chatted about spiritism, Puerto Rico, and a little about the cards. If you've ever wondered what kind of magical doings I get … Continue reading “Decolonizing Puerto Rico, Caribbean Spiritualism, and the Tarot”

The place for everything else in between. A little divination, some cards, lots of thoughts and ideas in the air, with the body in movement.
The politics of unnamed desires
In this one I'm going to get personal, and political. On Monday July 22nd, on the feast day of Mary Magdelene, the masses of Puerto Rico arose in a unified cry of defiance against the current governor Ricardo Rosselló. Around half a million people congealed to dethrone the governor for the level of blatant corruption and … Continue reading The politics of unnamed desires
Portals
Water. The well of being from whence all creation flows. The milky way as the river of stars, the cosmic flow of currents. These past couple of monthly auguries here have been hinting and circulating around the theme of water, this is either a reflection of my current preoccupation with water or maybe it is … Continue reading Portals
Healing is a rivulet
This post starts with the cards, where I went seeking to understand healing. As I had mentioned previously, I spent most of February sick, to my great disappointment since I love the month of February. All those weeks were filled with wallowing in bad health, unsure of what was really going on, deep in depression, … Continue reading Healing is a rivulet
From the devil to the star
I've been sick for most of the month of February, putting things into perspective for me. With being sick and reluctant to do many things as I'm pulled down by what my body is combating, I've kept coming back to a trio of cards that have been on my mind for months. The Devil, The … Continue reading From the devil to the star
Thinking back on…
As the solstice and holiday season have passed, the old year has passed along with it, and I feel like it certainly has. And good riddance I say to 2018. It was a long year, a heavy year, a pressing and eventful year for me. It was a year of strife and turmoil, and I … Continue reading Thinking back on…
Changing skins
It was around the second month of my 7th grade year, I was 13 and sat in history class minding my own business, listening to the teacher and doodling on my notebook. I didn't know anyone in class. Generally a shy child, I dutifully blossomed into an introverted teenager. A tall, dark haired girl sits … Continue reading Changing skins
A miscellany
In keeping with my previous post and the themes somewhat explored therein, this is a list of links to articles and ideas that coalesce in the same stream of thoughts. Last year around this time I also created a list, in keeping with cycles I am doing the same this year but instead of hauntings … Continue reading A miscellany
Ensouled movements
I have been eternally preoccupied with landscape and one's relationship with the lay of the land ever since I first encountered Oedipa Maas in her tower on Kinneret-Upon-the-Pines. From this preoccupation grew a tree of ideas of self in place, and as a consequence, of awareness and seeing in relation to space (how I see … Continue reading Ensouled movements
Enlivening the Landscape
I stake my belief fully in a landscape alive, conscious, and present. One could term this animism, if a word is needed. As I look around me, in this familiar and unfamiliar place, I let myself immersive my self into the landscape. Feeling the movement of the breeze, the glare of the sun beaming down … Continue reading Enlivening the Landscape
