Here is Your November Friday the 13th, 2020 SI. The Moon left Libra at 6:32a today to enter its Void of Course Astro Sign Synapse Journey. It will emerge Direct from the Void Synapse between signs in Scorpio at 11:19a today. The Moon will continue Direct as it moves through Scorpio to dive back under across the Void Synapse at 6:13a on Sunday, 11/15, to emerge Direct again in Sagittarius on 11/15 at 10:47a.

Void of Course is a bit like a mini-Mercury Rx, though instead of the magnetic drag of Mercury appearing to slow, which advises us to downshift, the opposite happens when the Moon goes Void of Course. Rather than drag, there is a slip, a letting go of the Astro Sign connection to disappear across the synapse of the cusp between signs. I feel the Void makes for a wonderful liminal horizon to surf with a foot on both sides, though I mark it in my schedule to not start new projects during it. I allow the flow of projects that have momentum to be worked with as we kind of Evil Knievel float through the air… to then land Direct on the ramp of the next sign, though without all the broken bones. … that we land Direct to reconnect our Inner LUNAtic to the next sign and engage with that creative gearbox.

Of note is that Jupiter joined Pluto in Capricorn yesterday kicking of a major shift in power. And, Mars goes direct to Station this evening, 11/13, at 7:36p. Mars Stationing Direct makes it a grand time to take a leap and be amplified by the intense burst of energy released.

* Note: All times given are EST In the USA.

Take the depth and directness of the Scorpio energies into your weekend, and team them up with the Mars Direct burst. I suggest to hold on. It’s not advised to get caught revving and have the tachometer up to the redline warming things up, and then accidentally sidestep the clutch when your foot slips. It’s going to be intense. Rather than worry or anxiety about falls, instead dial in your focus to your balance of intense things.

The not-things can get us in trouble all too easily. Focus on established priorities and established launches… even if its simply a walk in the park where you may vividly see and experience something you’ve not seen before. You know? That intensity of ablution tingles when your eyes light up when you discover something that moves you in a cool way.

How can you even up your keel, so that wind the big wind comes you shoot right out in the direction you intended… well, or at least in the range of that direction. There may be some torque that exceeds your grip at first. You;re the driver, though. Dial in to hang in and ride the initial squirrelly movements as your momentum sticks to engage forward movement in big ways.

Your Tarot Birth Cards for Nov 13th, 2020

Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician

• 

• 

• 

Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually spark ideas, cycle them through your process, and brightly bring them to bear with clear and shining identities. Your naturally enlightened voice from within brings them brightly out the shadows of Your Place of Creation and into the world where they can dance together WITH Shadow as integrated allies both driving thei life force.

A crucial component of these three Archetypes is that they engage inner contents and the unconscious as useful and factual realities. Psychic and intuitive and imaginative and unconscious contents simply provide more facts to go with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives within yourself you can discover when you do. Have a hard time trusting your intuition? Heck, Mark Twain may have said it best with, Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. How can you stop making sense and trust your senses with the Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician Tarot Team?

With the Sun ` Wheel ~ Magician Birth Cards, what aspects of your life are uniquely identifiable as yours that can you cycle through to find something juicy to further embrace your alchemy of Self with…? Check out the next 46 seconds of a video for some… hmmm, no spoilers… What chords are struck that resonate with you from this 46sec video? How can you justifiably without sense — simply because you do in a place where reasons are unreasonable — benefit from your Inner Enlightenment or simply Inner Clarity to bring things to full term like the Empress to be birthed into your life and the World?

There is nothing in the caterpillar that tells you it‘s going to be a butterfly.

This Week

It’s a #1 day today, so enjoy the:

So, I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times, how do you establish and/or embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation(s) while you stick to the point?

Notice if you begin to feel depletion. If you do, it is often either from mis-spent efforts, slippage, or its time to rest and refuel. Running on fumes will actually expend more energy and tire you out more than running with a full tank.

And maybe think about Mindfulness to help you out. I do not feel that Mindfulness is to empty us out of negative inner influences. More so, that it is for us to face and engage and become besties with our beasties. Danger? Potentially? Though, think about it this way. If they harm me, they harm their home. So, I let their storms rage inside when they present themselves. And, as their storm subsides robustly and empathically witnessed by me in reverence Silence, I ask, “What is your message?” Once a storm has spent itself, it has often shed itself of all the extraneous marble block parts like Michelangelo liberating David. Then, they can integrate, you might feel a cascade of ablution tingles as they nestle back into wherever their trauma was living in your body, though bringing more of You with their power enhancing yours now rather than trauma. Or, they don’t integrate, in which case you let them go as if vanished forever, … or, they sidle up right beside and behind you as another Chthonic Numinosity Light~Shadow Ally. Can;t have too many of those.

Someone asked me this week how long PTSD lasts. A lifetime, was my response. Color that with this, though. It lasts a lifetime… in its influence. Though, after you face it, work with it, with a Professional is good, it can transform and be transformed to release and renew you. So, the PTSD doesn’t really last a lifetime, though it’s ever-evolving influence as you face and engage and use it does.

I resonate with Thich Nhat Hanh‘s

We do not practice Mindfulness to rid us of anger. We practice Mindfulness to take good care of it. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh.

My Friend Fred

I resonate with that alignment with him.

Recently

I’m full-on pleased that my article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine Equinox Issue. I’m stoked with the honor and the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin, and Charlotte and the Tarosophy Team!

Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections

Rather than listen to the words and music as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another or out to the world, will you allow the words and music to be yours as if spoken and emanated directly from you and your internal community? As if they are a play about a journey produced by you about you, as you most likely know yourself better than anyone else.

Verdarluz ~ Tribal Stomp Ecstatic Dance – Rhythm Sanctuary

Digital Daggers ~ Nothing’s Broken

Digital Daggers is one of my new favorite bands along with The Civil Wars. Digital Daggers has a wicked cool way of approaching the Self head on, wonderfully handling psychological and relationship topics with heartfelt grace and a no holds barred intensity.

Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?

cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?

Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado ~ Bridging Dimensions Astrotheology Mystery School. Today, we live at the edge of uncertainty. It is at the edge of uncertainty where our most creative inspiration comes alive. ~ Joanna Macy. Personally (me, Jordan), I feel we have always lived at the edge of uncertainty. The world is always about to end in the perpetual present. Though, Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado have built a place full of Inner Nature and wonderment and robust experience for action to nourish that birth-n-death perpetual present moment. Check out the soulfully resonant and robust and rockin’ developmental work. Also, here’s a link to Verdarluz CelstiOwl’s Soundcloud music site.

Dr. Jean Raffa ~ Think Psychologically. Live Spiritually. A former television producer and college professor, Dr. Raffa changed directions in midlife to discover and write about her passions. Informed by over 30 years of psychological and spiritual study, her books and teachings guide others to growth and self-empowerment. Red Feather Mind Body Spirit is an imprint of Schiffer Publications who is my publisher.

Also, check out her work at Golden Seeds of Wisdom. I am looking forward to Dr. Raffa’s presentation Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 1:00 pm EST where she will introduce her new book, The Soul’s Twins, which will be published on November 17, 2020.  Pre-orders are now being accepted by Amazon.com.

I always come away with something new, and also usually a further fleshed out perspective. Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.

Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way.  Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves.  How do they know what’s really happening?   How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them?  Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth.  The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection.  It is a communication with myself and the language is my art. (c) Coeleen Kiebert. All rights reserved.

Tim Holmes ~ Tim Holmes Studio. A passionate artist with vision and an actionable mission consistently doing something with it for the good of the Self and the world. Hearing His Own Voice: A Life of Sculptor Tim Holmes. By Brian D’Ambrosio. Also, explore Tim’s Jung And Alive Meaning Finder.

Please share his recent Black in AI 2020 Call for Papers post to magnetize others who might not have otherwise been aware of the opportunity to advance the AI (Artificial Intelligence) community.

Author Melissa Crismon ~ Oceans of Love. Melissa is the author of the MerSea series about a conservationist mermaid. Painting in her mom’s studio, studying modern dance, and playing the pedal harp informed her childhood. A bachelor’s degree in visual and performing arts made sense.

Her recent post Through the Looking Glass from The Global Exclaimer is powerful and full-on apt about this racism disease going around more powerfully in this current time where the Civil War is like the EverReady Bunny just going and going and going — like it seethed under the surface for over a century, the internal war that never ended. About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley. All my life, I’ve been a writer. Sometimes, I’m also a painter, but I am always a hiker.

I advise to bring tissues for all the right reasons.

Susi Bocks ~ I Write Her. My words for Susi’s writing go something like this. You talk a good game, Dood, but can you (Susi) Bocks? Concise might even be too long a word. The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.

Your Tarot Birth Cards for Nov 6th, 2020

World ~ Hanged Man ~ Empress

• 

• 

• 

• 

Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually embrace transformation in a very matter of fact manner as you carry things to full term with your naturally enlightened voice to bring them brightly out of the shadows of Your Place of Creation and into the world. A crucial component of these three Archetypes’ is that they engage inner contents and the unconscious as useful and factual realities. Psychic and intuitive and imaginative and unconscious contents simply provide more facts to go with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives within yourself you can discover when you do. Have a hard time trusting your intuition? Heck, Mark Twain may have said it best with, Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. How can you stop making sense and trust your senses?

With the World ~ Hanged Man ~ Empress Birth Cards, what aspects of your life are uniquely identifiable as yours that can you cycle through to find something juicy to further embrace your alchemy of Self with…? Check out the next 46 seconds of a video for some… hmmm, no spoilers… What chords are struck that resonate with you from this 46sec video? How can you justifiably without sense — simply because you do in a place where reasons are unreasonable — benefit from your Inner Enlightenment or simply Inner Clarity to bring things to full term like the Empress to be birthed into your life and the World?

There is nothing in the caterpillar that tells you it‘s going to be a butterfly.

This Week

It’s a #3 day today, so enjoy the:

Mystereum Tarot Moment 3 of Pentacles

0 min 59 sec

and some Friday fun for you… and thanks Carrie Paris, my Producer in 2013! This may be the BEST use of an Espresso Maker part ever…

Mystereum Tarot Moment with the 2 of Swords

1 min 14 sec

So, I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times, how do you establish and/or embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation(s) while you stick to the point? How do you dial in to focus to refresh your perspective and see something so big and so there you may have been missing it hiding in plain sight in a blind spot of expectation? What blind spot can you identify today? Once there, what treasure unfolds? What personal message do you unpack from deep within yourself that has its nose poking up in your garden? — Yes, that is a Spring metaphor… this year I am adamantly against winter. Cold… Cold just doesn’t feel very good right now. Oh well, I’ll unpack the winter coats and clean them so they are ready. grumblegrumblegrumble, says Grog my Inner Caveman Marketing Director. Grog no like cold. Grog say cold no fun on toes many too much times. 🙂

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

My Friend Fred

I say Fred’s chaos = Nature itself, and one’s natural and immutable Nature of Self.

What messages of unique new births in your life do the World~Hanged Man~Empress have for you today with the Moon in the Fire sign of Leo? How can you aspirate your fire to step up the effectiveness of its heat? A loose and unfocused blow torch makes no cuts, just wastes the gas. How can you tune and focus to dial in your fire today and through the weekend?

Tarot Voice Prompt Exercise

How do you express a fluid fluency with transformational energies in real time on the fly? Record yourself speaking about The World ~ Hanged Man ~ Empress. Close your eyes and play yourself back afterwards. Listen deeply to your voice and what you hear IN your voice even more than what words you say or sounds you make. What do you hear. How does that feel? Do you hear anything new? What do the highs and lows of your voice tell you about where you are right at this very moment in the perpetual present?

What about the flow of what you hear in your voice? Dance like you’re the Sun itself, click record, and experience the exquisite magic in your orbits of your community within and about. If you’re more visual, doodle like no one is watching. Maybe even also you if you doodle with your eyes closed. No matter if the pencil/pen/brush/marker/charcoal,stick slides off the paper. Heck, if it does, maybe you just went off trail inside into some new Nature territory where good stuff tends to make their homes.

Writing Prompt Exercise

Look out the window. Go Outside and look in the window… look into the window of yourself (Temple of You) for 1min 14sec, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder again doing the above, or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What magic orbits around me? How and when am I most magnetic with things that resonate with me? How do I allow this inform your current perspective? What will I do about it today? Some things are wheels, some things are cogs. I do not demean cogs as less than. A cog functions under intense temperatures and pressures all the while as it continually keeps engaged to gear in without a slip. And, if it does slip, it can often be re-tooled to be put back in place. And, maybe it could also mean it would like a rest more periodically than it currently gets. Rest and subtle actions. Rest and subtle actions and the caterpillar becomes the butterfly and does not overheat the transformation.

Recently

I’m full-on pleased that my article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine Equinox Issue.

Note that the Tarosophist International Magazine is a members-only magazine with public print to resume soon.

Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections

Rather than listen to the words and music as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another or out to the world, will you allow the words and music to be yours as if spoken and emanated directly from you and your internal community? As if they are a play about a journey produced by you about you, as you most likely know yourself better than anyone else… or at least have the keys to access that as being potentially so. Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Then again, some may spark something inside you with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Give it a go, and see what happens when you turn poetry/lyric authorship inward and speak them yourself as if they originated from you to you. When you resonate with something, isn’t that the Collective Unconscious feeling we all get? That is certainly a question. I feel so more often than not, that connection when things cascade ablution tingles through my body like subtly distributed Astro-orgasms cleansing and nourishing as they flow through. What’s your take on that? I’d love to hear how you express what you feel when something resonates with you.

Verdarluz ~ Tribal Stomp Ecstatic Dance – Rhythm Sanctuary

Digital Daggers ~ Nothing’s Broken

Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for November 6th

Serendipity Itinerary Sites

There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, there was this week. The vibe, like the world, is all over the place, to each their own, and 2 cycles revved up the tach to downshift and feel the drag like the centrifugal G-forces when I jet out of a turn onto the straightaway in harmonic balance where the car has no resistance… just climbs the speed as all comes into focus. All similar, each unique. That’s my image. What’s yours? Have you raised your head over the chaos to harmonize your fluctuations in resonance with your natural Nature?

I suggest take 2 sites below that you are familiar with and revisit their current post(s). Then, I-Ching ’em and run your own Serendipity Itinerary to 2 that are new to you. Another great week. Prepare this month to not waste trouble as diamonds take some time and intense pressure to form. The stars and planets are menacing only if you let them be. Mercury Rx? (Retrograde). Simply downshift and re-calibrate to attune yourself and adjust your pace and how you rev and drive the directions you do,

Planets, like Tarot cards, are magical allies when you OWN the magnetism of how their movement relationships influence things. Good? Bad? Nah. Workability. I find there’s always workability when you adjust your perspective to align or intentionally misalign. I don;lt go with the flow as only dead fish go with the flow. I prefer fluid fluency and to swim upstream. Besides just being a great workout, stuff tends to come TO you then.

Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?

cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?

It is at the edge of uncertainty where our most creative inspiration comes alive. ~ Joanna Macy. Personally (me, Jordan), I feel we have always lived at the edge of uncertainty. The world is always about to end in the perpetual present. Though, Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado have built a place full of Inner Nature and wonderment and robust experience for action to nourish that birth-n-death perpetual present moment. Check out the soulfully resonant and robust and rockin’ developmental work. Also, here’s a link to Verdarluz CelstiOwl’s Soundcloud music site.

Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.

Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way.  Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves.  How do they know what’s really happening?   How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them?  Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth.  The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection.  It is a communication with myself and the language is my art.

Her recent post Through the Looking Glass from The Global Exclaimer is powerful and full-on apt about this racism disease going around more powerfully in this current time where the Civil War is like the EverReady Bunny just going and going and going — like it seethed under the surface for over a century, the internal war that never ended. About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley.

Susi Bocks ~ I Write Her. My words for Susi’s writing go something like this. You talk a good game, Dood, but can you (Susi) Bocks? Concise might even be too long a word. The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.

Enjoy the DNA of our Solar System as it moves along its 230-million year orbit around our Milky Way galaxy. Credit to A.T. Mann for sending me this years back when he was a guest on my Inner State Highways internet TV show. Hmmm, I miss doing that. Well, I might want to do something about that…

This is such a cool creation about the larger creation we live our own orbits within, and looks like the DNA orbits within us as well. Go figure. Know thyself and know the universe just took on a simple tone as well.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.

Your Life, Your Way

Have a Wonderful Weekend that leads into a Great Week

I’m honored that 2 card images from my Tarot in the Land of Mystereum deck + book box set published by Schiffer are featured in Taschen’s new Library of Esoterica by Jessica Hundley

Trace the hidden history of Tarot in the first volume from TASCHEN’s Library of Esoterica, a series documenting the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine. Artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the Major and Minor Arcana, this visual compendium gathers more than 500 cards and works of original art from around the world in the ultimate exploration of a centuries-old art form.

Here is Your October 30Th, 2020 SI with the Moon Having gone Direct in to Aries 10/28 at 4:45am. The Moon went into its Psychic Synapse Void of Course from Aries at 12:12pm today, 10/30. And, it went Direct in Taurus today at 5:19pm. The Moon will make its journey to Full in Taurus through this wonderful Lift The Veils When They Are Thin Halloween Time until it once again dives into its Void of Course Astro Psychic Synapse Sunday at 9:29pm on November 1st. The Full Moon officially occurs at 10:49am EST. And, it is of note that for the 1st time since 1944 The Full Moon occurs when Uranus is conjunct Taurus.

* Note: All times given are EST In the USA.

Take the energetic air and earth qualities of Uranus (air) and Taurus (earth) today and tomorrow to engage in what I call Cloistering Your Inner House. Uranus is super-comfortable in Taurus, and Taurus enjoys the heady shake-up. Taurus often has a sold house that can get a bit too solid. The Uranian Shaker Upper will enter the Taurean House and open it up like a Greek home with an inner courtyard open to the sky. Or, like at Mont St Michel in France, open up a cloister at the top. I consider the cloister to be an architectural Crown chakra. How can you amplify the air and earth qualities in your life to powerfully aspirate your engine and open up to the sky inside?

I also consider Uranus to be an Architect here that you can commission for an internal remodel, and Taurus to be the Client’s home of your Self. If your inner Client Priorities aren’t to go as far as reconfiguring with this remodel to have an inner courtyard or cloister, Uranus as Architect may step up and say, “Babe, understood, though at the very least we need to add a big ole skylight here to clear the Inner Air and bring in more Inner Light. I suggest we locate it in the center of your abode.”

So, I ask, What is the center of your Inner Home for you? How can you open it up to release pent-up energies, expand to new heights within, and feel your Crown chakra as a Place of Power that is only amplified when you stand in the freed up center of your home?

Your Tarot Birth Cards for Oct 30th, 2020

XVII Star ~ VIII Justice (Strength if you roll with Strength as VIII)

• 

• 

• 

Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually embrace transformation in a very matter of fact manner with your celestial groove tapping your natural, inner animal voice with epic is-what-it-is balance. A crucial component of these Archetypes’ realities are that they engage with inner contents and the unconscious as a useful fact. Psychic and intuitive and imaginative and unconscious contents simply provide more facts to go with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives within yourself you can discover when you do.

With the Star ~ Strength (or, Justice) Birth Cards, what aspects of your life are uniquely identifiable as yours that can you cycle through to find something juicy to further embrace your alchemy of Self with…? Check out the next 46 (45) seconds of a video for some… hmmm, no spoilers… What chords are struck that resonate with you from this 46sec video? How can your Star and Strength justifiably benefit from your Inner Sun with a cloister of Inner Courtyard or even something as mundane as a skylight?

There is nothing in the caterpillar that tells you it‘s going to be a butterfly.

This Week

It’s a #8 day today, so enjoy the:

Mystereum Tarot Moment 8 of Pentacles

0 min 44 sec

and some Friday fun for you… and thanks Carrie Paris! This may be the BEST use of an Espresso Maker part ever…

1 min 06 sec

So, I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times, how do you establish and/or embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation(s) while you stick to the point? Is transformation one of the key drivers in the heartbeat of beauty? How about an Inner Remodel project? Where does your oculus go? How does you Crown chakra already do this for you naturally?

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

My Friend Fred

I say Fred’s chaos = Nature itself, and one’s natural and immutable Nature of Self.

What messages of unique breathing room do The Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician have for you today with the Moon in the Air sign of Aquarius? How can you aspirate an idea with that to step up its effectiveness.

Tarot Voice Prompt Exercise

How do you express a fluid fluency with transformational energies in real time on the fly? Record yourself speaking about The Star ~ Strength cards + Justice. Close your eyes and play yourself back afterwards. Listen deeply to your voice and what you hear IN your voice even more than what words you say or sounds you make. What do you hear. How does that feel? Do you hear anything new? What do the highs and lows of your voice tell you about where you are right at this very moment in the perpetual present?

What about the flow of what you hear in your voice? Dance like you’re the Sun itself, click record, and experience the exquisite magic in your orbits of your community within and about. If you’re more visual, doodle like no one is watching. Maybe even also you if you doodle with your eyes closed. No matter if the pencil/pen/brush/marker/charcoal,stick slides off the paper. Heck, if it does, maybe you just went off trail inside into some new Nature territory where good stuff tends to make their homes.

Writing Prompt Exercise

Look out the window. Go Outside and look in the window… look into the window of yourself (Temple of You) for 0min 44sec, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder again doing the above, or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What magic orbits around me? How and when am I most magnetic with things that resonate with me? How do you allow this inform your current perspective? What will you do about it? Some things are wheels, some things are cogs. I do not demean cogs as less than. A cog functions under intense temperatures and pressures all the while as it continually keeps engaged to gear in without a slip. And, if it does slip, it can often be re-tooled to be put back in place. And, maybe it could also mean it would like a rest more periodically than its getting to no overheat.

Carrie Paris is the Video Producer on my Mystereum Tarot Moments series from 2012-2013. Check out her beautiful site!

Recently

I’m full-on pleased that my article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine Equinox Issue. I’m stoked with the honor and the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin, and Charlotte and the Tarosophy Team! Note that the Tarosophist International Magazine is a members-only magazine with public print to resume soon.

Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections

Rather than listen to the words as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another, will you allow the words to be yours spoken to you and your internal community? As if a play produced about you? Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Then again, some may spark something inside with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Give it a go, and see what happens when you turn poetry/lyrics inward to speak to yourself as if they originated from you to you. I played with Silence this week, so the music is the same as last week’s. Listen or hop right over it with Silence and dig into the intensities in everyone’s blogs this week.

Digital Daggers ~ In Flames

Digital Daggers ~ Nothing’s Broken

Digital Daggers is one of my new favorite bands along with The Civil Wars. Digital Daggers has a wicked cool way of approaching the Self head on, wonderfully handling psychological and relationship topics with heartfelt grace and a no holds barred intensity.

Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for October 30th

Serendipity Itinerary Sites

There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, there was this week. The vibe, like the world, is all over the place, to each their own. All similar, each unique. My image is splashing in the water. Just splash and splash and let the splash be… unless you’re in Oz or South Africa. Then, do that in a pool. I wouldn’t want you to hear dangerous cello music in the ocean. Du Nuh…

I suggest take 2 sites you are familiar with and revisit their current post(s). Then, I-Ching ’em and run your own Serendipity Itinerary to 2 that are new to you. Another great week. Prepare this month to not waste trouble as diamonds take some time and intense pressure to form. The stars and planets are menacing only if you let them be. Mercury Rx? (Retrograde). Simply downshift and re-calibrate to attune yourself and adjust your pace and how you rev and drive the directions you do,

Planets, like Tarot cards, are magical allies when you OWN the magnetism of how their movement relationships influence things. Good? Bad? Nah. Workability. I find there’s always workability when you adjust your perspective to align or intentionally misalign. I don;lt go with the flow as only dead fish go with the flow. I prefer fluid fluency and to swim upstream. Besides just being a great workout, stuff tends to come TO you then.

Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?

cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?

Karen Sealey ~ The Pure & Blessed Tarot. ~ Riding the cusp between imagination and reality. Her Orphaned Oracle is BORN and now available! Check out the Game Crafter link on her site to purchase! She also has Waxtober this month and rockin’ ramblings and Rantras and musings with no pulled punches. There are lots of exquisite surprises along the way. THIS is a site to watch.

Dr. Jean Raffa ~ Think Psychologically. Live Spiritually. A former television producer and college professor, Dr. Raffa changed directions in midlife to discover and write about her passions. Informed by over 30 years of psychological and spiritual study, her books and teachings guide others to growth and self-empowerment. Red Feather Mind Body Spirit is an imprint of Schiffer Publications who is my publisher. Love the synchronicity that I found her work in the Carl Jung Depth Psychology Reading Group rather than from my publisher. Pretty cool. Great to discover Jean’s work. Also, check out her work at Golden Seeds of Wisdom. I am looking forward to Dr. Raffa’s presentation Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 1:00 pm EST where she will introduce her new book, The Soul’s Twins, which will be published on November 17, 2020.  Pre-orders are now being accepted by Amazon.com.

Dive in to the over 1,200 videos he has produced for a healthy dose of rockin’ness. Well worth the time spent, like the length of a great movie. I always come away with something new, and also usually a further fleshed out perspective. Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.

Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way.  Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves.  How do they know what’s really happening?   How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them?  Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth.  The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection.  It is a communication with myself and the language is my art. (c) Coeleen Kiebert. All rights reserved.

Tim Holmes ~ Tim Holmes Studio. A passionate artist with vision and an actionable mission consistently doing something with it for the good of the Self and the world. Hearing His Own Voice: A Life of Sculptor Tim Holmes. By Brian D’Ambrosio. Also, explore Tim’s Jung And Alive Meaning Finder.

Don’t go for the writing. Go for experience you will remember. Indelible is a word, and a good one with Charles’ weblog. Please share his recent Black in AI 2020 Call for Papers post to magnetize others who might not have otherwise been aware of the opportunity to advance the AI (Artificial Intelligence) community.

Author Melissa Crismon ~ Oceans of Love. Melissa is the author of the MerSea series about a conservationist mermaid. Painting in her mom’s studio, studying modern dance, and playing the pedal harp informed her childhood. A bachelor’s degree in visual and performing arts made sense.

Martha Ann Kennedy’s Blog ~ I’m A Writer, Yes, I Am! Her recent post Through the Looking Glass from The Global Exclaimer is powerful and full-on apt about this racism disease going around more powerfully in this current time where the Civil War is like the EverReady Bunny just going and going and going — like it seethed under the surface for over a century, the internal war that never ended. About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley. All my life, I’ve been a writer. Sometimes, I’m also a painter, but I am always a hiker.

It starts with a wicked cool image, and keeps going from there.

I advise to bring tissues for all the right reasons.

Jane Lurie Photography ~ powerful, evocative freeze-frames of architectural images that are definitely not secretly active. These images live out loud! They are refined.

Susi Bocks ~ I Write Her. My words for Susi’s writing go something like this. You talk a good game, Dood, but can you (Susi) Bocks? Concise might even be too long a word. The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.

Enjoy the DNA of our Solar System as it moves along its 230-million year orbit around our Milky Way galaxy. Credit to A.T. Mann for sending me this years back when he was a guest on my Inner State Highways internet TV show. Hmmm, I miss doing that. Well, I might want to do something about that…

This is such a cool creation about the larger creation we live our own orbits within, and looks like the DNA orbits within us as well. Go figure. Know thyself and know the universe just took on a simple tone as well.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.

Your Tarot Birth Cards for Oct 23rd, 2020

Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician

• 

• 

• 

Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually embrace transformation in a very matter of fact manner. A crucial component of their reality is that they engage with inner contents and the unconscious in factual ways as easily as they interact with people at a get-together. Psychic and unconscious contents are simply more facts to go with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives you can discover.

With The Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician what aspects of your life that are uniquely identifiable as yours can you cycle through to find something juicy to further embrace your alchemy of Self with…? Check out the next 46 (45) seconds of a video for some… hmmm, no spoilers… What chords are struck that resonate with you from this 46sec video?

This Week

It’s a #1 day today, so enjoy the:

Mystereum Tarot Moment Ace of Pentacles

0 min 52 (51) sec

and some Friday fun for you… and thanks Carrie Paris! This may be the BEST use of an Espresso Maker part ever…

1 min 06 sec

So again I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times, how do you establish and/or embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation(s) while you stick to the point? Is transformation one of the key drivers in the heartbeat of beauty?

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

My Friend Fred

I say Fred’s chaos = Nature itself, and one’s natural and immutable Nature of Self.

What messages of unique breathing room do The Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician have for you today with the Moon in the Air sign of Aquarius? How can you aspirate an idea with that to step up its effectiveness.

Tarot Voice Prompt Exercise

How do you express a fluid fluency with transformational energies in real time on the fly? Record yourself speaking about The Sun ~ Wheel ~ Magician. Close your eyes and play yourself back afterwards. Listen deeply to your voice and what you hear IN your voice even more than what words you say or sounds you make. What do you hear. How does that feel? Do you hear anything new? What do the highs and lows of your voice tell you about where you are right at this very moment in the perpetual present?

What about the flow of what you hear in your voice? Dance like you’re the Sun itself, click record, and experience the exquisite magic in your orbits of your community within and about. If you’re more visual, doodle like no one is watching. Maybe even also you if you doodle with your eyes closed. No matter if the pencil/pen/brush/marker/charcoal,stick slides off the paper. Heck, if it does, maybe you just went off trail inside into some new Nature territory where good stuff tends to make their homes.

Writing Prompt Exercise

Look out the window. Go Outside and look in the window… look into the window of yourself (Temple of You) for 0min 46sec, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder again doing the above, or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What magic orbits around me? How and when am I most magnetic with things that resonate with me? How do you allow this inform your current perspective? What will you do about it? Some things are wheels, some things are cogs. I do not demean cogs as less than. A cog functions under intense temperatures and pressures all the while as it continually keeps engaged to gear in without a slip. And, if it does slip, it can often be re-tooled to be put back in place. And, maybe it could also mean it would like a rest more periodically than its getting to no overheat.

The Tortoise & The Hare

The Tortoise and the Hare. Has the Hare ever won? Nope. The Hare just stacks manicy on top of anxiety manicy one after the other like a Dagwood sandwich with his false sense of urgency as he bounces all over like a confused Pachinko ball.

The Tortoise? He experiences every step, and every wonderful sensation between each step. I gather he might even stop at some strange and thick white line painted across his road while crowds cheer all around and he, How cool. Will you just look at all those divets in the asphalt highlighted by this cool white band across the road? With a wry smil he might even swing his head around to the Hare that bounces around everywhere with, HEY HARE! What IS this beautiful thing? Ha! Just kidding as he puts his foot down on that cool, white line. WINNER!

And, the Tortoises smiles, steeps in the moment, and finds some cool cats to experience stuff with. The Tortoise might not ever care about winning, and always does. The Hare? Most likely ONLY cares about winning, and consequently never does. Experience wins out here, huh? Is the Tortoise an experience Magician?

Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections

Rather than listen to the words as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another, will you allow the words to be yours spoken to you and your internal community? As if a play produced about you? Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Then again, some may spark something inside with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Give it a go, and see what happens when you turn poetry/lyrics inward to speak to yourself as if they originated from you to you. I played with Silence this week, so the music is the same as last week’s. Listen or hop right over it with Silence and dig into the intensities in everyone’s blogs this week.

Digital Daggers ~ In Flames

Digital Daggers ~ Nothing’s Broken

Digital Daggers is one of my new favorite bands along with The Civil Wars. Digital Daggers has a wicked cool way of approaching the Self head on, wonderfully handling psychological and relationship topics with heartfelt grace and a no holds barred intensity.

Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for October 23rd

Serendipity Itinerary Sites

There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, there was this week. The vibe, like the world, is all over the place, to each their own. All similar, each unique. My image is splashing in the water. Just splash and splash and let the splash be… unless you’re in Oz or South Africa. Then, do that in a pool. I wouldn’t want you to hear dangerous cello music in the ocean. Du Nuh…

I suggest take 2 sites you are familiar with and revisit their current post(s). Then, I-Ching ’em and run your own Serendipity Itinerary to 2 that are new to you. Another great week. Prepare this month to not waste trouble as diamonds take some time and intense pressure to form. The stars and planets are menacing only if you let them be. Mercury Rx? (Retrograde). Simply downshift and re-calibrate to attune yourself and adjust your pace and how you rev and drive the directions you do,

Planets, like Tarot cards, are magical allies when you OWN the magnetism of how their movement relationships influence things. Good? Bad? Nah. Workability. I find there’s always workability when you adjust your perspective to align or intentionally misalign. I don;lt go with the flow as only dead fish go with the flow. I prefer fluid fluency and to swim upstream. Besides just being a great workout, stuff tends to come TO you then.

Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?

cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?

Also, check out her work at Golden Seeds of Wisdom.

Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.

Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way.  Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves.  How do they know what’s really happening?   How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them?  Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth.  The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection.  It is a communication with myself and the language is my art.

About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley.

The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.

Enjoy the DNA of our Solar System as it moves along its 230-million year orbit around our Milky Way galaxy. Credit to A.T. Mann for sending me this years back when he was a guest on my Inner State Highways internet TV show. Hmmm, I miss doing that. Well, I might want to do something about that…

This is such a cool creation about the larger creation we live our own orbits within, and looks like the DNA orbits within us as well. Go figure. Know thyself and know the universe just took on a simple tone as well.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.
