For whatever reason I didn’t take a pic of us together but the ever elusive was sitting in this very seat having breakfast with me a couple days ago I swear.

Big Psalm 133 vibes.

2/7/22 to 2/7/23.
One year loc’d. I’ll admit I used to roll my eyes a bit when I’d hear people talk about being on a “loc journey,” but one year in and I have a much deeper appreciation for what that really means.
It’s ironic, as you let your hair coil ever more tightly together and “lock up” you simultaneously must learn to let go of your grasp on certainty and let your sense of control grow looser and looser. The tension between simultaneously “locking up” and “letting go” is interesting.

The “journey” so far hasn’t always been easy, but I’m not looking to end it any time soon. Let’s see where it takes me next!

The print copy of Issue Zero: The Fool arrived yesterday! It was kind of surreal seeing my name on physical paper next to so many wildly talented, insightful and creative contributors like and (and MANY others). Check this project out and give it a read if you haven’t already!

Thanks again to .120w and for their vision and hard work on this.

This was my favorite moment from this past weekend’s Keene Music Festival with a couple of old and dear friends (emphasis on the “old” part. Just look at all that salt in the pepper and the cayenne… jeez…) right after ’s set.
I’m not a big fan of “fun” for its own sake but I sure did enjoy the hell out of this day.

Yeah I’ve pretty much always got 4 or 5 books going at any given time…

I’ve been quiet lately but since more than a few of you have asked, I would like to let everyone know that I’m still alive and well.

Still offering Tarot sessions where you almost guaranteed too laugh and cry at the same time. (DM to schedule)

Still thinking just a little too hard about everything.

Still working on navigating the delicate balance between the Sacred and the Profane.

Still doing my best to remain a servant of the Secret Fire.

The realized potential, beauty, and Grace longed for above all else comes only AFTER confronting the loss of everything it’s scariest to let go of.

Seems about right for Holy Saturday…

“I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment, what is this then?
I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in a sea.

There is something in staying close to men and women and looking on them, and in the contact and odor of them, that pleases the soul well,
All things please the soul, but these please the soul well. “

~ Walt Whitman “I Sing The Body Electric”

Pulled the Ace of Coins for this passage and I’ll be damned if that isn’t perfect.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17
Today I had coffee with my dear friend and former lifting buddy who I haven’t seen in person in about three years.
We talked about a great many things (including- but not limited to- the freedom that comes in the terror of The Tower moment, the advanced Iron Age technology of the Nok culture of present day Nigeria, the African roots of what is commonly called the Western Mystery Tradition and how Hoteps ruin everything for everybody 😂…] but we could have talked about so much more if we’d had the time.

I value my friendship with Eric for so many reasons but one I would like to focus on right now is how he always brings me back to the reality of the present moment.

The past is what it is, and contemplating it has value.

The future is what it will be and aiming for the best version of it has value.

But the present… The here…. The now… this is the space we can work in. This is where the magic happens.

Thanks and praises to the Most High for setting us in each other’s paths.

🙏🏾🙌🏾

Today’s personal pull.

Me: King of Swords - I feel like people have forgotten just who TF I am…

Situation: 7 of Cups. Maybe I could SHOW em? That might be fun.

Outcome: King of Wands
hmm maybe it would be better if you show YOURSELF just who tf you are and not let other people’s bu****it become YOUR bu****it.

A lot of times anger or aggression are responses to a deeper underlying anxieties or feelings of powerlessness.

There’s an educational framework called MOAB (Management of Agressive Behavior) that focuses on defusing and diffusing potentially violent conflicts by helping us manage our own anxieties and those of others. “Don’t climb the anxiety ladder, and don’t chase anyone else up it” is the strategy in a nutshell.
When I feel anxious, lacking in power, disrespected, or overly constrained my anger will often rise.
I believe that emotions are messages and energies to be listened to, but not always to be acted upon uncritically.
When I’m pi**ed off and frustrated and the temptation to act out and “choose violence” is strong as a mo********er. The more constructive thing to choose might be to look at what I can do to establish my own sense of control and self possession. So I’m going to keep sitting in the window of my favorite coffee shop drinking my favorite coffee and remind myself just who tf I am after all.

I didn’t grow up celebrating Christmas or any other holidays so my traditions don’t necessarily look like what I imagine a “normal” holiday celebration does. I’m learning to mark the days in the ways that make the most sense to me, however, and there’s a tremendous source of joy there.
This joy is a totally separate thing from the vicissitudes of happiness or sadness, merriment or frustration,laughter or grief.
Whatever circumstances you find yourself in today, and whether you celebrate this particular day in your tradition or not my wishes are for you to find joy and blessings however they may be found this season.
Merry Christmas!!

Ring the bell that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
