DECAN WALK: TAURUS 3, SEVEN OF DISKS Part I

Taurus decan 3, in which warm and loving Venus is frustrated by cold indifferent Saturn…”Phase I, in which Doris gets her oats.” The image described in Crowley’s 777 for Taurus decan 3 is a challenging one: “A swarthy man with white lashes, his body elephantine with long legs; with him, a horse, a stag, and […]

DECAN WALK: TAURUS 2, SIX OF DISKS – Part II

This is the Part II update for the Taurus 2 decan which began with the prior post. This decan has been really great so far, and it is only halfway through. We found this statue above in a pile of composted leaves at the start of the decan. I think it is Joseph holding lilies […]

DECAN WALK: ARIES 3, FOUR OF WANDS – Part II

This is a update, Part II of decan Aries 3. But also we begin on something that was done as an experiment for the Aries 2 decan, but the effects have become noticeable during Aries 3 decan. So in Aries 2, I had wanted to test out the Three-fold seed spell on some nasturtium plants, […]

DECAN WALK: ARIES 2 THREE OF WANDS

The Sun entered the second decan of Aries today, a Sunday, auspiciously enough, as the second decan of Aries is ruled by the Sun, which is exalted in the sign.

The new Aces and a few of my favorite things

Making progress on painting the cards of my new deck. It’s funny, I recently was reading a thread on the TT&M tarot forum about AI art. Someone there who is using AI to create a deck was, well I guess defending it from detractors by saying that it also required a lot of work on […]

Progress: through the Princesses

So thought I’d post a progress update on the new deck. I’ve really been going at it, making good time through the courts, and in spite of the fast pace I am so happy with every single one of them. I think they are my best courts yet. And now, I’m done with all of […]

Thelemic High Holy Days – Day 3 Liber AL: Horus

The third and final day of the anniversary of the reception of Liber AL, the third chapter for Horus or Ra-Hoor-Khuit speaking. Since for the first day I posted a painting with just Nuit, and the second day with Nuit and Hadit, for this third day here is one with all three deities present, the […]

Aquarius 3: third decan of Aquarius, Seven of Swords

Another difficult place in the Aquarius sequence: the Seven of Swords, Futility aka the Lord of Unstable Effort. The sign is ruled by Saturn, the Sevens by Venus, and this decan by the fluctuating Moon. The magical image of the decan per 777 is “A small-headed man dressed like a woman, and with him an […]
