I am legitimately stoked on this episode because it’s the first time I’m venturing beyond astrology and into other divinatory realms for the podcast, which was the vision from the beginning.

A big part of the reason for that vision is conversations I’ve had with Ash. Now you get to hear one!!!

I am SO excited for y'all to hear me & @kiraryberg.bsky.social on Threads of Fate!! In addition to a fantastic convo on Scorpio, the Death card, & gnosis, I also dig into the visual history of Tarot & where we get the Major Arcana associations in the first place.

I also really loved digging into the tension and differences between Mars vs Saturn as malefics and some of the value of interrogating symbolism! Watch on YouTube if you want to see me in all of my obnoxious gestural glory or wherever you get your podcasts hehe

it always takes me awhile to work on these jewels because I'm reading as I'm designing and mainlining revelations

starting in on what's going to be my final boss of the "atone for a decade's worth of past owners' neglect"game in my yard - bushes upon vines of barberry and oriental bittersweet wrapped around two 12ft trees of heaven and their vicious sapling offspring - and I am decidedly *not* in a great mood

IT IS DONE. Thank *fuck*.

I read the Kybalion and commented on it so that you don't have to subject yourself to it like I did. Take a look at the rotten fruit of my misbegotten labor, and behold how and why the Kybalion is both not Hermetic and also not worth your time or attention.
