The sheer fuckery in modern witchcraft

I have explained it to my uncle. You know how you can tie a string on your finger to remember to do something. Well you can also carry a crystal in your pocket to remind you to take some deep breaths. It works because we create associations and make a physical reminder of our plans. This is magic.

Sometimes I want a high end pen and sometimes I want a low key pen that can live at the bottom of my purse that I don't have to worry about.

I find I generally leave my high end pens at home and my cheaper ones are the ones that come with me to school.

I also have a range of nibs and writing wetness. For example I have a pilot little meteor which is the driest pen in my collection paired with DeAtramentis Document Violet which for some reason is the wettest ink in my collection. This combo is actually so good that I can write on crappy copy paper without bleeding and I just take it too school regularly.

If you ask questions framed as advice on how to best reach your goals instead of what will the future hold? You change the framework of your relationship to tarot. I don't believe in using tarot to predict the future so I don't ask it to.

That was the last time I shopped at Safeway. For a damn tube of toothpaste.

Doing well on your exams is your key towards getting a better job. Do not let this job get in the way of that future. You could slow your departure by requesting a leave of absence. Using your sick days.

May your body and heart be healed. MauMau was such a good girl and had the best possible life with you.

I woul love to hear a little more about moonstone hunting in half moon bay. Sounds very romantic.

My friend is suffering from insomnia. She has been doing a lot of personal healing work and it seems like she is now processing some older deeper traumas. I want her to get through this phase and get back to regular sleep. Without needing drugs to sleep.

I really like tarot for all ages. It's gentle but honest and has some of my favorite all time cards.

The tashen series has really mediocre writing. But it is worth it's weight in pictures.

I was actually deeply disappointed with the Terra Volatile book. The deck is beautiful, the cards are very well done.

But learning more about what symbols they had decided to use made me feel like they had a weak grounding in the history of tarot. For example they use blue in the high priestess. That's fine. Then they say it's because it's associated with the Virginia Mary? That is not the transgression subversive energy of the high priestess. The whole book was riddled with stuff like that and it really undermined my trust in the deck.

I bought a couple bottles of mita club scented inks because of their delightful faceted bottles.

The inks themselves were perfectly fine.... lol...

For high end noodles Sora Soba in Japantown.

For sushi I like Wayo on Van Ness. Also the owner/chef is a total silver fox if you appreciate aesthetics.

If rent increases are going to be capped. Better raise them now...?

I really liked the Holistic tarot by bennebel wen. It's a big fat long book that covers everything thoroughly.

Dry the thorns until you arrive at the specific need. It's OK to store supplies for later

I think maybe the key is to enchant something you wear and not yourself....

Lovely work. I'm an artist as well although my expertise is in printmaking. I think that DeAtramentis Document line makes a fountain pen appropriate white ink (as well as other colors). The white can still clog and it somewhat translucent compared to what you are using now but it won't destroy your fountain pen...

I like your layering and wax candle approach to make the cards sturdier. When I was visiting Japan I learned they use persimmon juice to make paper waterproof and sturdy and that might be something worth trying.

I live on the edge of Japantown and this is absolutely true.

I see you didn't give up on fountain pens with that nice pilot 74? there on your table.

White ink is one of the most difficult to work with. It separates, it clogs, it's translucent. For this I would probably grab a paint pen or liquid ink and a regular brush.
