    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.

  • Creative cycle diagram, and a creative co-working video for body doubling

    For the first time in a long time working in my sketchbook, my sacred travelers notebook, feels right…feels good. Always follow that feeling.
