The card I pulled from the Woodland Wardens deck today is “satisfaction” - or the turtle and coriander. It’s been an extremely hard week personally, and this card is challenging me to understand that satisfaction is still possible. That I’m not a failure.

My homework: list things I’m proud of

Happy Trans Read-A-Thon!

I’m offering up a copy of one of my books in a raffle in honor of the read-a-thon. To enter, you’ll just need to donate $5 to OutFront MN, a local queer and trans advocacy group working to keep MN safe for our community. Every $5 = an entry

www.outfront.org

Two books next to each other on a dark green background. The first is “Queering the Runes: reclaiming ancestral wisdom in rune magic and mythology” and the second is “Lessons from the Empress: a workbook for self-care and creative growth.” The cover of Queering the Runes has a raven on the cover holding two runes on strings. The raven’s feathers are a dark iridescent rainbow cover. “Lessons from the Empress” is mostly the cover, with a black border and orange/autumnal colored flowers

Post you from a different era

Me when I was still in public policy, before I was a professional witch. I was working in a horrible job and on my way to England

My Card of the Day: 2 Disks from @thewordwitch.bsky.social Gay Marseilles.

So good because I’m contemplating work and rest, and slowing down my work today so that it doesn’t feel frantic. Also writing about Jera, harvests, and the Wheel of the Year.

A hand holding up the 2 of Disks card from the Gay Marseilles tarot. The card looks like a big S with disks in the curves. It is illustrated in an updated Marseilles style, with two snakes facing each other in the S itself. There are flowers and other flourishes. The color scheme is a canary yellow, light pink, teal, green, sky blue, and purple

Happy Lupercalia to all who celebrate! I’m cozying up with “The Company of Wolves” and Angela Carter

A still shot from the film “The Company of Wolves.” Five dogs that look like wolves are sitting at a banquet table with a white tablecloth. They are dressed in cute white and pink dresses that look like. A 17th century French courtiers dress. There are two men in full doublets and powdered wigs behind them.
