A card spread to try for this weekend's Lunar Eclipse in Pisces (9/7). This reading explores the astrological themes of this lunar eclipse, which offer the chance to acknowledge and accept revelations, make dreams a 3D reality, and walk away from things that disappoint you.
#tarot #lunareclipse

Cards 1 through 10, in the form of a horizontal Jacob's Ladder:
1. What’s Ending: Something leaving your life (which is for the better).
2. Surrender: How to release control, let it go, and ‘go with the flow.’
3. Self-Compassion: How to show yourself love, care, and forgiveness.
4. Reveal: An ‘AH-HA!’ moment; a truth that comes out of the shadows.
5. Rest: How to pause and invite peaceful, healing rest into your life.
6. Creativity: How to express yourself; an artistic prompt or focus.
7. Release: An old habit or belief to let go of for a deep spiritual reset.
8. Big Dreams: A transformative dream you need to materialize.
9. Psychic Message: Curious hints, omens, messages, and symbols the universe is sending you (look to the card imagery for guidance).
10. What’s Beginning: Your new chapter; hopeful recalibration.

🎨 The Owl King (2025) by Angie Livingston, The Glittering Fox

An owl perches at the top of a megalith in a snowy landscape. Capped standing stones are in the background. The sky is full of stars and the full moon. The owl is luminous, surrounded by gold foil like a full body halo. Gold accents form a labyrinth-like spiral on the megalith beneath the owl’s feet and on the stars in the night sky. Two birds glide in the distance.

This summer I experienced the most gut wrenching heartbreak, had Lyme’s disease, dealt with a fibromyalgia flare, oddly wavered between constant hyper vigilance and burnout, and was officially diagnosed with autism. I don’t know if I’m me anymore. I just chase peaceful and creative moments.

Mono print with two cats, a possum, crows, and an owl. It says “Better of here,” honoring a present and sacred space but also as a reminder of managing mental health.

Monoprints of Ozzy and Sharon quotes. The Osbourne’s season 1 episode 4 lives in my head rent free. Rest in peace Ozzy, and much love and support to Sharon and their family. That level of grief is nearly impossible to carry.

PSA

I worked with Lorraine Warren

I’ve been around that doll & her other “cursed“ artifacts

The doll did not kill anyone

Lorraine also believed a pack of Tarot cards was a way to summon the Devil

Her credulous fanaticism might make a good movies, but it’s just Satanic Panic in a box

I highly recommend the “cut up poetry” exercise. The first image shows the poem built from found words. The second image is the draft I wrote up from it.

Not sure if folks on here dig #poetry but if they do I have written a lot recently and would appreciate some artistic love.

I cancelled my trip to England to opt for a couple shorter journeys and to spend time in therapeutic programs. My mental health is shot. I’ve been burnt out and heartbroken, going through grief and exhaustion. I also feel vulnerably unmasked and overwhelmed. London will wait while I heal.

As we approach the 4th of July I wonder how the founding fathers of this nation-currently-in-crisis would think about what is happening.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.

It’s going to hurt a whole lot of people. My wife and I are dedicated to making it through though and building something better from everything that they are burning down.

In times like this, holding close to the communities that have your back and providing support to each other is so important.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
