Hello again, everybody! Are you ready for Halloween? My city canceled trick or treating for 2020, but 93% of parents surveyed plan to send their children out this year.

October 2021 Tarotscope
Welcome to October! Although I’m still treated to a few sultry summer afternoons where I live, Autumn leaves already litter my backyard in a dazzling display. May where you live look and feel just as beautiful this time of year. This month, I decided to stick with cards close to my heart, the Dukanté Daemonic Sigil […]
August 2021 Tarotscope
Welcome to the August Tarotscope! Daily divination supports all my other spiritual practices. Because of this, I feel I need a decent copy of the original Rider-Waite Tarot with artwork by Pamela Colman Smith. Unfortunately, some prints currently available are blurry, with a good deal of detail either lost or fuzzy. One of the nicest […]
July 2021 Tarotscope
Hello again! Welcome to the July Tarotscope. This month, I used the Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans.

Readers with sight problems may have difficulties with the guidebook’s handwritten font and this style choice carries over […]

November’s Daemons: Verrine and Verrier
Like love, daemons crop up in unusual places. Take the origins of the daemons of Verrine and Verrier, both traditional Daemonolaters associate with the month of November. In the early 1600s, the hunt for witches which was sweeping Europe had yet to grip France, but a seventeen-year-old girl named Madeleine would soon change that. Madeleine […]
