Art by Alejandro R Rozan for his new "Pixie's Marseille Tarot." I wasn't prepared for how beautiful the art he has created for this project would prove to be. These cards evoke the Jupiter and Juno deck from Switzerland which was my very first deck in 1970. It was a Yule gift from my parents.

The Roman festival of Lupercalia was said to be a carnival of feasting, merrymaking, animal sacrifices & nudity!

Find out how to throw your own Lupercalia Pancake Party over on the Butser blog:

Lilith and the Green Man--work by the late Bel Bucca, copies of the original objects produced by a family member. These have an extraordinary potent Presence in real life.

I read just now of the passing of Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki recently. One of the great teachers of our day. May her spirit know peace and freedom. And if it is her will, in love may she return.
