Collective messages, which used to be on my website, are migrating to Substack.
These are prose poems intended to be used either as creative inspiration & guidance or for entertainment purposes. They are based on a set of cards, runes, and numbers I pull intuitively every Wednesday.
They are timeless, which means they are relevant to whenever you feel drawn to them rather than to the date they are written.
I’ll post an old message from the website every Monday at 8AM and a new message every Thursday at 8 AM.
Are you in, or are you out?
Because there is no "in between" anymore.
Gone are the days of your indecision, of avoiding grief by avoiding choice. You couldn't go back if you tried. What a relief to know deep within that even if you could, you wouldn't dream of it.
You have come far, dear warrior. You have done well to arrive here now, considering the task that lies before you and every other human being of this earth.
It's no small task.
Are you in?
The boundaries between seeming opposites dissolved before your discerning eyes long ago. An alchemist is never fooled by apparent extremes. There is great harmony within you, for your mind is as sharp as your heart is soft.
The call is clear. Offer your genius back to whence it came.
Retrieve all parts neglected, abandoned, hidden away safe from judging eyes and torches all aflame. Weave them, that they may become an elegant quilt. Wrap the children of the world in it, so that they may know the warmth of the arms of God.
The world was born anew while we slept in those arms. Now the path is lit by the torch of our collective courage. Now the ancestors stand proudly at our sides. Now the way forward is clear and beckoning.
Can you set down your addiction to hardship, your love of deprivation, your need to sacrifice? Can you stretch to hold more, to tether the past to your arms and legs and let it fortify you, rather than obstruct your stride?
Can you let yourself be the beloved, the exalted, the loyally followed?
You are cordially invited to let the old world die. You are invited to fiercely love it to death. You are invited to steward a new world--a world in the image of the gods.
Are you in?

Not sure where to start?
Shoot me a message! We’ll figure it out together.
Rune
Perthro. “Dice cup.” Fate, the unknown, play.
Number
9. Completion, harmony. Phae before the beginning of a new cycle.
Druid Plant Oracle
Agrimony. New beginnings. Purification.
Affirmators!
Authenticity. Authenticity is the name of the game. Whatever comes up, I will feel it. Whatever needs to be said, I will say it. Whoever doesn’t get it, doesn’t have to get it. But at least they know it, because I’ve said it. And that’s way better than leaving a passive-aggressive email about it.
Kitchen Tarot
14: The Blender (Temperance). Alchemy, cosmic forces, healing, bringing opposing forces into harmony.
Oracle of the Radiant Sun
Venus in Sagittarius: Flirtation.
Mercury in Taurus: Resistance.
Angel Tarot
King of Wands. Boldness, courage, action. Creativity, magnetism, confidence.
Ace of Swords. New ideas and possibilities. The planning/brainstorming phase of a creative project.
Song
“'Cause Dan had never danced / Outside of his room / When no one was home / And he would stop to hear the door / So when he moved with you / And felt his body let go / Of course, you couldn't know / It was you and you alone / That he had shown his bedroom dancer to”
