    The Tarot Diaries: the moon

    The Tarot Diaries, my 78-week project has had me delving deeper than I anticipated, much faster than expected.

Trigger warnings are listed at the beginning of the essay. It’s a vulnerable one folks.

  • People are talking

    Sketchbook spread in my travelers notebook ; take the leap; make something today.

    My podcast is officially here!

    I also finally made my podcast. The first episode is live. It’s called Living Practice: a podcast that explores sacred moments and creative living. It can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Substack. Please go give it a listen, follow, review, anything that doesn’t feel like too much of a burden.

    Find a landmark
    Draw or describe it (yes outside)
    Ask it for advice on your quest
    Write what comes to your mind first
    Repeat until you feel you have enough data

    Stay tuned
