I am equally thankful, Nancy. Your support means the world to me. The more we get to know each other, the luckier I feel. I don't know why, but I could not post this as a reply that would notify you I responded. I will just tell you what I said in an email.

a new experience for me

Last night, two of my YouTube friends hosted an hour long video focused on my channel and the life's work that inspired it. Of course, our shared love of The Cards insured that part of my introduction to their subscribers included the story of how tarot first became an inviolate... Continue reading

a quiet surprise with huge reverb capacity

Cardinal Flower/Lobelia cardinalis is an eye-catching addition to a wildflower garden and pollinator corridor. I introduced this lovely native species to the side pocket gardens during our second spring in this place. For years it flourished and then vanished without a trace. I've missed its energy, but stayed connected to... Continue reading

Why I'll Be Returning Somewhat Regularly in the Near Future

ego first, because I've always found it best to give such a troublesome muse its due, and then move beyond the 'that's all' status it holds. I understood my last retreat from blogging was something permanent in that I would never go back to 'blogging' in that way again. Thus,... Continue reading

just a productivity log .1

All the flowers above have been successfully processed. The dandelions and blue violets were air dried for inclusion in healing and strengthening oils. The white violets will be rehydrated in an oil diffuser for ritual and meditation purposes. I also preserved both white and blue violets in sea salt. Imagine... Continue reading

a day of considering previous considerations

Today I located some white felt that's about a third as big as it was at one time. A corner of what remains was unceremoniously hacked-out at some point I don't remember but there's still room for me to organization some thoughts and ideas. Have had this image set aside... Continue reading

more oracle cards

I really love this one and am allowing myself the emotional attachment. The image was only a bit too small, so I didn't want to bulk things up with a background paper. I'll make red-violet swipes with matte acrylic paint and/or colored pencil. used part of a brayer-cleaning paper for... Continue reading

back to basics

During my self-neglect induced suffering version of a four day holiday weekend, I succumbed to couch life and YouTube videos. I was watching deck-flips, at first, and then people's various tarot study/journal keeping routines. Then I watched a seven part series in which a professional card reader altered a tarot...

studio excavation/reboot

The official chakra dive program completed itself with the recent new moon. The only 'good' re-balancing framework related to the insurrection, so far as I can tell, was that it put the dive program on a two week time pause in order to facilitate individual and group-wide processing...processes... that likewise...

Widget's growing up! still can't wrap my head around the PNW being 22-25 degrees hotter than New England. Was just reading about the record breaking overheated temps of water and core in the Arctic as well. I don't know why I thought this would be a great time to grow multiple types of delphiniums and plant them everywhere with next year's blooming in mind...

sentient cooperation

All pictures showcase the volunteer Foxglove that appeared at the base of the Flowering Quince. The two plants intermingled to create a very special kind of intensely female vibration. This portrait was taken two days before the solstice. The lede image is the front-face of the sideways flower stalk that's... Continue reading

I'm still planting things out in the field in small manageable batches, in the aftermath of our heat spike. A couple of times I heard myself saying out loud to the landscape and plants 'this is the new New England. We're all figuring out what it means together.' The heat elongated the mating season of the tree frogs by three weeks. I enjoyed them hanging around well past memorial day but none of it yet feels truly normal. Trying to keep Widget calm should be fun ...

Some of the really subtle color saturation differentials, petal to petal, really remind me of the way color forms in eco dyeing.

This morning I spent some time with the flowering Angelica archangelica. Was interested to note the bottom portions of the flowers were systematicaly pollinated and had begun to set seed while the top of the flowers' globes shapes were still oozing nectar. This flower smelled amazing when I photographed it.... Continue reading

peak truffling up for the first zinnia bloom featured in a previous post. Right now there are a number of Zinnias blooming. Some of the plants are clearly setting their sights towards 'riotous' in another month or so. In the past few days, the new moon in gemini has more... Continue reading

It would very much depend on where you lived, I think. We live in a 'non-representative' part of the state, and that skews how I see the experiential over-view of the entire country at times. Nutty people like that MGT women are giving a lot of other nutty people all sorts of "ideas" and the repercussions seem to be popping up here and there. I might have to curtail focus on looking for connection points. It's not very good for me mentally or spiritually.

Yes. The entire experience was a heart-center opening, and I instinctively ended it with a visit to this flower. Only put together the color significance when I took the pics.
