Welcome, Taurus Moon.*

the new moon has officially come and we are now in taurus. i can feel it. rebecca brents has a really good site to explain what that means in depth. these images reminded me of this transition from aries inspiration and fire and ideas and plans to taurus stability and materialization and fruitful blooms. set your plans in motion and watch them come to life.*

Tarot and the Golden Proportion.*

our beloved alejandro teamed up with philippe camoin, a descendent of nocholas conver, who was a master cardmaker and engraver for the king's court back in 1760. they revived all 78 of the original tarot cards and found that much of the significant imagery and many symbols were erased over the years. there are complex structures that connect the cards to one another, and even the golden proportion, the ratio that was used to build cathedrals and pyramids, fits into the picture. jodorowsky's research concludes that the Tarot of Marseille is real, OG deck- a blend of arabic, aztec, jewish, and christian traditions that emerged from the first century. "In truth, tarot is anonymous, because it's sacred art, and all sacred arts are anonymous. It comes from dreams and the collective unconscious."*




although i still really love other decks aesthetically, such as this dali deck:

The Craft.*

while re-eading my occult and esoteric books from my youth, i find that they still resonate with me now more than ever and i am finally at a point to committ deeply to the practice. my new pendant is providing strength and protection already, made of bloodstone and rainbow moonstone. and please tell me you all remember the most influential movie of my 13th year....you bet your ass i had this movie poster up in my bedroom and watched it like 5 times a week. here are some top new age/ magick stores in los angeles. check them out and you too could have an awesome setup like these. btw, fairuza balk herself owns panpipes, and it is the oldest magick and occult store in los angeles (since 1961). oh, and don't forget to note the awesome 90's sketchers these witchy bitches rocked.*
