Hey-o… It was brought to my attention that some folks were looking for some of the old experimental releases I used to have on Bandcamp like 5 years ago, for example The maQLu Tarot. I ditched Bandcamp probably 4-ish years ago because I wasn’t seeing much traction and wasn’t exactly […]

Trumpets blare fanfare. The judges have arrived and the vibrancy of your colors comes out on display. Little things are like that.
Get up and move. Pain or not, ache or not, the rest cycle is over. That is the road to reclamation and recovery. The manifestation has arrived, meet it. Morning glory is upon us.
Between the night stars and the day sun, a soft blue glow on the transition, lit by a big soft moon. It reflects the sunlight, but in a gentle way. Slow awakening. Slow stretch before rising, testing the sturdiness of weakened legs. Purification by slow leeching out of toxins and […]
For every knot, the bamboo grows taller, reaching towards the distant stars. Scar tissue, but it helps support against gravity when normal flesh wishes to collapse to the ground. Stretch and reach up. You never know who might grab your wrists and pull you up through the haze.
This is the place of the blackening. Push through and out. The old life is destroyed, there is no going back. This much is now fully understood. Back to the plans and maps forward. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the currently known takes over and pushes. Move with the […]
Shell shocked. Time to escape the shell and go to the animal core. Where Capricorn lives his whole life, a new way of living starts to flicker on the edge of the radar. There’s no way back to the old way anymore anyway. Time is too short for angels, cast […]
Pendulum swings wildly between extremes, can a synthesis be attained between? If so, the new equilibrium can only come through work and art. A new normal established note by note, line by line.
It’s supposed to read metamorphosis, not oblivion. Entering a chrysalis. Doesn’t always work out that way. The surroundings are forever marred and shifted, hopefully for the better. Shedding skin. Retreating even beyond the Hanged Man’s lair. Remember, though, that only life can truly separate.
Suspended, floating, frozen in time or so it seems. The eye of the hurricane, where everything is painfully slow like trying to escape the molasses flood and each breath seems to take an eternity yet the world around moves too fast to process or grasp. Subtle growth is being made […]
Also called adjustment or equilibrium. All things have their counterbalance, their equal and opposite reaction. Scales and proportions, dynamic tension and minute adjustments on the fly in the most precarious positions. Legal proceedings and transactions, weighing all options.
A turn for all seasons. Flipping fortune, fast or slow. Intelligence and balance, unstable but brilliant reason, sluggish ignorance. Which is on top and which falls by the wayside? All situations hold the possibility of regeneration if you can find the key. Destiny calls.
In some ways the partner of the Hierophant, or the Hierophant himself at different points in his life. Retiring from the cruel world to rely on yourself alone, to see how far your own abilities can take you. To process the lessons you’ve learned and to come up with new […]
