For the month of May I'm going to come at the augury from a different angle. Instead of a general look at the month, I want to look ahead with a purpose. So I'm asking the cards for suggested ways of better flourishing for May. The cards responded with... Seek to fill your heart with … Continue reading On the negotiating table

Thorny brambles
September arrived too soon, with August roaring to a quick end. This month I want to try something I've been waiting a year for, cartomancy month, specifically, Cyprianic cartomancy. Under the auspices of St. Cyprian of Antioch I'm going to be focusing on Crossed Cartomancy, which is derived from the irreplaceable tome The Sorcerer's Treasure … Continue reading Thorny brambles
The augury of fire
After a brief hiatus last weekend, I was in the middle of moving, I am back with this week's augury. As I was shuffling my playing cards, my mind drifted towards the Tabula Mundi deck by MM Meleen, which I have unfortunately rarely used. I decided to take it out and keep it near to … Continue reading The augury of fire

The way I see it, nothing is fixed and as we move about our lives we are constantly making decisions and changing the realms of possibilities for ourselves. … Continue reading The Yes and the No
A spread for a spread
Recently, I briefly shared that I had created a spread for Ostara. In retrospect I should have given more detail about the spread itself. This is me rectifying that. Believe it or not, I created this spread with a pack of Aleister Crowley's Thoth deck, a spanish edition of the deck I had lying around … Continue reading A spread for a spread
Difficulties and growing
I have been looking inwardly recently, at how I approach parenthood and how I express myself within this modality and identity. Honestly, it has served to reveal the multiplicity of my imperfections and ineptitude. In the face of all this, my child is too young to judge, to measure, he loves me unconditionally. Everyday I … Continue reading Difficulties and growing
Good tidings this holiday season
I am breaking away from my previous post, where I was laying down the foundations for myself as a card reader, setting the tone and things of that nature. I want to continue here with the pips and tie that to the season. If you have been following along, we have arrived at the 7 … Continue reading Good tidings this holiday season
