This doesn’t mean he is lazy; he is quite fastidious in his duty and his determination to see his mission through. But today this Knight […]
COTD Eight of Wands, Reversed
Overthinking. What happens when we overthink and question every thought, plan, move, (past-present-and-future), situation, or conversation? We find that everything comes to a halt. A certain amount of scrutiny and self-examination is normal, but when it becomes overwhelming and obsessive, this is when it becomes a real problem.

Ostara Blog Hop – New Horizons
This Blog Hop we were tasked with the theme “Dawn”, at is pertains to a new day, new cycles, and new beginnings. The Vernal or Spring Equinox is the dawning of a new season, when daylight begins to win over darkness, a time of new life, new growth, and preparation for planting seeds, both literally and metaphorically.

Doorways of the 5 of Wands – A Rite of Passage
What doorway(s) can we discover in the 5 of Wands? The image seen here in the Ma’at Tarot is different from a traditional Tarot deck where we might see 5 combatants who appear to be in training.

Call Darkness Your Friend…
In darkness and shadow the answers lay hidden and skitter away into cracks, Where light does not reach and secrets will whisper their voices now lost on the wind. An owl will take flight and carry its burden to one who will answer the call, The call of the wild and of the tamed and into the depths he shall […]
