The Wheel of Fortune
Fate ☆ Karma ☆ Change ☆ Cycles ☆ Cosmic Law
blossom above, thorns below
auspicious winds, unlucky storms
keeper of the forms in clouds above our heads,
binder of living light,
this golem, these eyes, they glisten
like the surface of the chasm of the sea.
darken in dissolution, rise from the glow of fire.
be still under the soil and tend the dance of all life.
fill these hands with direction,
cleanse these eyes of illusion
for a world that turns and spins,
spiraling through all seasons.
darken in dissolution, rise from the glow of fire.
be still under the soil and tend the dance of all life.

The Veil and The Void: Three Teachings on Transrational Divination (April 26)
This week’s Ritual Reflections newsletter contains an excerpt from the lecture I’ll be giving on transrational divination on April 26th, 7PM EDT.
This will be a deep exploration of intuitive ability, the nature of time, the importance of perspectival facility, and the sacred responsibility of seership in a society that sees the imagination as separate from reality, rather than a valid way of experiencing it.
The recording and transcript will be available to paid Substack subscribers and those who have signed up, but if you’d like to join the unrecorded live discussion, join us live.
This event is pay-what-you-can. Suggested donation is $25. No one will be turned away for a lack of funds.
