So, it has come to my attention, from me to myself, that I have an important task. What is that task you ask? To promote my work more openly. And, that comes with a wonderful caveat, again self-issued. This blog will not turn into some buy me buy me buy me from my products and services, though I need to do more than only promote ImaginAction and the like my my Self-Sponsor footer. That said, I can do NO less than simply present some AMAZING-WILL-MOST-LIKELY-GIUVE-YOU-ABUTION-TINGLES cascading through you. So, enough about ME! Wassup with dat?!!!!!
So, I simply felt on this Sunday Services post to share two video EXPERIENCES I have had. The intent? That maybe you will be glad I shared these experiences with you. That’s it! Enjoy!
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

So, it has come to my attention, from me to myself, that I have an important task. What is that task you ask? To promote my work and services I have available more openly. And, that comes with a wonderful caveat: this blog will not turn into some buy me buy me buy me from my products and services, though I need to do more than only promote ImaginAction and the like from my Sponsor footer.
All that said, I am simply going to take the concept of a full and fulfilling vessel and dial in Promotions to a single blog post each week on the same day. I’ve chosen Tuesdays. That way, if you’re here for my blogs and to explore community through my Serendipity Itineraries posts on Fridays, you’ll see Promotion ~ Tuesday Shop Update in your email, and you can mark as read and trash the email so it doesn’t become spam. I set once a week as reasonable. From my perspective any more would be a distraction.
So, maybe you’ve only used the WordPress Reader. You may or may not even know I have a Shop on my website with:*
* I have to manually approve the PayPal order transactions, and I check periodically during the day between sessions and events. It will not be more than 3 to 6 hours from The time of your purchase to when you receive the email with the download link(s) for PDF eBooks. Note that Tarot in the Land of Mystereum deck + 192-page companion book boxed set published by Schiffer Publications and Taschen Book’s Library of Esoterica by Jessica Hundley are hardcopy and links here are to the Amazon and Taschen websites respectively for purchase on those sites.
There are also my eBooks below available to purchase and download in easy to use pdf download format. You get to download 3 copies of each item you purchase. One copy for yourself, and two to give as gifts for special times or simply when the serendipity of an encounter moves you? That felt more fun. It also sets up the potential for friends to work with and play with them together on Zoom and Teams and the like. All prices in USD. Click the direct links to the shop to check them out. Which ones resonate with you?
Last but not least, there’s the old standby of Tips and Donations, though this switches that up in a fun way. How’s that? With COFFEE. Please accept my thanks in advance when you tip your server and buy me a coffee. Thank you!
I love coffee, so rather than a Tip Jar or Donation Button, I went with BuyMeACoffee. It’s fun, and I love coffee. If I can’t see light through it, that’s a really good start.
They make it simple. Click, set the number of coffees you want to send, and pay by PayPal or credit card. Done. I set mine at $3 per coffee to align with the 24oz size at the neighborhood Mom-n-Pop grocer.
FYI: I tested this before I put it in play. Bought myself a coffee by PayPal. $3 bucks. $3 was $3. Ok, cool. Bought myself a coffee by credit card. $3. Doh. $3.61 appeared on my statement. OHHH, we can NOT have that BS. Hidden fees feel sneaky to me, and not in a cool Loki or ninja or hide-n-seek way. Just tell me how much, please. Thank you. To me, value is clear then. It is what it is. If you get charged more than you set up, even a small amount, please let me know.
So, I set it up The BuyMeACoffee link to absorb any credit card fees and/or taxes. So, when you set up the number of $3 coffees that feels right, the waiter/waitress isn’t going to chase you down on the sidewalk so to speak for the extra 61 cents or what-not Surprise fees. You’ll pay what you expect to pay in $3 increments, whatever amount you decide.
I appreciate your support. Will you send me some coffee?

That way, if you’re here for my blogs and to explore community through my Serendipity Itineraries posts, you’ll see Promotion or something similar, don’t know the name yet, and you can mark as read and trash the email so it doesn’t become spam. Heck, once a week isn’t a whole lot, may not be enough, though since this is my life’s work, I’m going to start it out that way. Plus, it’ll get me off the hook to have to continually advertise, and on the hook for the continual banner of writing and feeling my way around my work.
So, I simply felt on this Sunday Services post to share so you’re aware. We all have to make a living, and I’m thoroughly grateful for all of you being here as I just fell into the ablution pool of I have 300 subscribers now. Thank you to each of you here. You make it worthwhile, and I appreciate that.
I simply thought you all should know, so it doesn’t feel like a T-Bone of Oh Shit, he went into advertising mode. Simply, once a week, and I may actually simply make it a Page rather than here on my Posts. I don’t know yet, though Promotion moved from low orbit working on it to landing as I bring my Divination Studio towards being full boat all digital.
Call it Covid Blessings. I have been able to connect more deeply with the professional Jungian Depth Psychology community and as well Tarotists and Astrologers and Philosphers and all you coolio people around the world through Zoom through this There will be no new normal time. We adapt, and continually normalize into pace as we naturalize in the garden of our lives.

Now, is that time for me. The High Priestess and Sophia with her Seven Pillars. Two living arm pillars planted in the ground In the High Priestess. The Meridian of Her Self as the visceral 3rd where the marriage in the heart meets. One emanation each from her shoulders, and one each from Her expanding beyond body in her Draw Down The Moon ritual where she becomes one in Conception with the Universe. There might be 8 when the Pillar of the Earth itself is revered. Though, sometimes it’s time to stop counting the steps and just dance like no-one’s watching.

I write in books. When I am moved by the ABRAcadABRA of the magic of words and/or images, I write in books. We commune, words and images and I, as we warm together at the campfire of our light under their stars that nestle us as well in our dark. ~ A(wo)men
Symbolic representation and imagistic writing are the pure hieratic forms of esoteric expression. Through symbolism, and through it alone can we read the thought of the Ancients. It is only through the symbolical that we will be able to coordinate the known elements of this great civilization and that the writing may take on its true meaning.
~ R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz — The Temple In Man, p. 19
This act, it is not graffiti.
It is a sacred act form-given by the living words and images that move me. Like my morning Inner Temple Spread reading today. Pull 1 card. Feel into it with no words. As you sync up to the message, dial into the sync, and as you steep in that ablution pool of Yourself AS the card, deal in 2 Clarifier Ally Temple Steps Pillar Cards.
Today my Daily Deal is the Ace of Swords. My Clarifier Ally Temple Steps Pillar cards are XVIII The Moon and V The Hierophant. My Inner LUNAtic and my Heartfelt Silverback Experiential Down-to-Earth-Spirit Hierophant fuel my self-support to fuel my actions with the movements and lessons of the Sacred Sword.
So, with that in mind I did what any self-respecting person who likes Dave Barry and Gary Larson and RBG would do. I confessed, though in no way to ask for forgiveness. I confessed as abraCADabra, the magic that smiles out of your light and dark when they dance together as you own part of yourself. And, they seem to consistently do this not when I simply cherish something. That’s more the Inner Photo Album. Magic smiles out of the reciprocal couple of the Light and the Dark when their dance consummates to become the fuel for heartfelt action. In those times I call the Self Chthonic Numinosity. In those times I create.
So, there it is. I write in books. More than I write books? Hmmm, that’s not an Ace of Swords question. I write in books. I feel so much better now that you know this tic of my Inner LUNAtic. Big exhale. Ahhhhh. I feel so much better now. I write in books.
We commune, words and images and I. We warm at our campfire together. Our Light under the Archetype's stars nestles in the Black Crucible of the Magician, the upside down vessel of the Night Sky. We warm. We nestle. We happily turn to face and dance with our fears in the dark. ~ A(wo)men
Oh, that’s a simple one. There are some rules not to be broken. For example: I do still know to never, ever, ever, under any circumstance draw on a 4-year old’s drawing. What happens if you do? Well, that’s the Tao & The Way of the Direct Path… to a direct experience of the full definition of WRATH. I think it took me 20 years to get over the concussion blast of that just from the witness of it. WOW, I didn’t have to even touch the hot burner to learn that one. Like Abraham Lincoln said, Learn from others mistakes. You don;t have time to make them all on your own. And, I’ll dump some Happy Gas on the fire from Oscar Wilde: Be Yourself. Everyone else it taken.
Have a great rest of the weekend, and a great week!
