Temperance and The Devil Reversed The week of August 1st 2022 tarot spread. For those of you who were curious about the recent spread from my Instagram stories here is part 1 (I think I’ll probably break it down in 3 parts over all since that’s how the spread landed – in 3 parts)….

“You”, she said, looking directly at me, “need to get into your bones“. And then she looked away and went back to addressing another student’s question. I hadn’t even asked my question. I had barely even opened my mouth to speak. But she knew. Her acute embodied-ness of her boundaries could see the…

Let’s suppose for a moment, that you, like me are working on some kind of self-actualization. Call it whatever you want. Even simply “being a better person”, or “being the best version of yourself you can be”. A lot of us are striving for this for some reason or another. Just consider the…

I feel like I am starting to gather at the point where I am no longer tracking my actions, my activities, my daily bread tethered to the nervous systems of other people and situations. I am beginning – the first tender threads taking root – to be lead by this thing called Desire. I am…

If you choose starvation over nourishment, you will inevitably change the shape of your body. But let’s be very clear. You will not love yourself more. You…
Read moreAbout Consumerism (it’s not what you think)
When we think about the concept of consumerism and living in a consumerist culture we often default to the idea of accumulating stuff.
