The unknown ☆ Mystery ☆ Fear ☆ Bewilderment
mother of night, it’s not death but life that scares us
down here, we think backwards.
send us in spirals instead.
trees breathing toward you, light leaving for you,
we watch will o wisps linger.
sing them to life again.
and if i find out what they are,
if i find out, i won’t tell anyone.
mother of night, it’s not dark but light that scares us,
we don’t ask great questions.
and if i find out, i won’t tell anyone.
mother of night, it’s not death, but life that scares us.
down here, we think backwards.
and if i find out, spin me in spirals instead.
Offerings
Talks, workshops, courses, and other ways to receive guidance or ritual support from me.
The Veil and The Void: Three Teachings on Transrational Divination (April 26)
Last week’s Ritual Reflections newsletter contained an excerpt from the lecture I’ll be giving on transrational divination on April 26th, 7PM EDT.
You can read the excerpt on Substack Notes here:
This lecture 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 all those who have signed up, but if you’d like to join the discussion, you’ll have to hop on the live call.
This event is pay-what-you-can. Suggested donation is $25. No one will be turned away for a lack of funds.

For less than $2 per week, you can access all sections of the Wednesday “Ritual Reflections” newsletter, in addition to the tarot poem:
Song of the week: a song that feels relevant to the vibe of the week.
Quote of the week: a quote from one of the books I read during the week.
Ritual reflections: sometimes, I’ll post articles exploring ritual theory. Other times, I’ll post musings and reflections based on personal experiences. Often times, it will be a combination of both.
Offerings: I’ll keep you updated on any live talks, events, workshops, and courses I’m running.
Paid subscribers also have access to exclusive audio content:
Orphic EPs: 3-to-4 song EPs that I release to my Bandcamp at seasonal thresholds, featuring hymns, original songs, folk music from various cultures, and even quirky covers from movies and musicals.
Recorded conversations: friendly talks I have with fellow religious scholars, ritual practitioners, and mundane magicians.
Class recordings: recordings of any of the live lectures I give on transrational divination, inspiration practise, and imaginal somatics.
All that for half the cost of a cup of coffee, every single week.
