Altar of the Fool

Happy April 1st! Just for fun, I thought I’d share a picture of my altar, all done up for the High Holy Season. Yes, it is a slot machine, and what of it?

March 20 and The Equinox of the Gods

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. March 20th is the Vernal Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, and no matter which hemisphere you reside in, it is a turning point.

777

My dad showed up here a few weeks ago with this in the backseat of his car: a Japanese slot machine with a 777 theme, and British lions and unicorns. I think a friend gave it to him.    I just thought it was amusing, he has no clue why I am so tickled by […]
