a pretty thing still has worth
Posted on March 13, 2021
i have too many tarot decks.
last count, i had over 4 dozen and that’s not counting the one’s i’m still waiting on to arrive.
the way i see it, some people collect cute cat statuettes or stamps, so why shouldn’t i be able to collect every single tarot deck that strikes my fancy to my greedy little heart’s content?

never mind the fact that i’m quickly running out of space for any more.
that’s just semantics.
right?
right.
oh well. nothing a shelf or two won’t fix. there’s some intellegence in the saying “only buy things you’ll use. i hardly use the ones i buy (i love the artwork and feel of them shuffling in my hands, but i only really use a few decks for any actual readings), but i do go through them quite frequently to shuffle them and contemplate the art.
not everything needs a purpose outside looking pretty and i’m trying to remember that.

i can’t smell and it’s really cramping my style
Posted on November 24, 2020

a few weeks ago, i was struck down by the dreaded plague.
now, all things considered, i was really, really lucky.
i never had breathing problems or coughing fits or anything like that. just wicked congestion, loss of taste and smell, the most severe body aches i’ve ever had in my life.
anyway, that’s neither here nor there.
i got better and count myself incredibly lucky to have done so.
never mind the fact that it’ll add a whole new layer of meaning to my planned plague doctor tattoo.
however, there is one thing that i’m finding so annoying that if it doesn’t remedy itself, i might actually go insane.
I CAN’T SMELL.
i know what you’re thinking: huh, that’d be pretty rad to never have to smell a terrible thing again.
which, point, i guess, but what about all the good smells? the ones that trigger memories you didn’t even know you remembered?
also, i cook mostly by smell (recipe? what recipe?) and since the COVID, nothing has tasted right and it’s awful.
something i took for granted is gone and i don’t know if it’s coming back.
i hope so.
anyway, just needed to vent a bit.
stay safe, be smart, and for fucks sake, wear a mask.

an intro?
Posted on September 25, 2020
introductions are annoying and irritating and 200% unnecessary, in my opinion.
so, i’m not writing one.
instead, this is what you need to know.
1. fuck COVID
2. fuck the horked up baby carrot we’re forced to call “president”
3. i am a pagan witch
4. i will not be tolerating bullshit or trolls. (see #3 and proceed at your own risk.)
5. avocados are over hyped
welcome to the party.
stay tuned for further nonsense and shenanigans.
