Me + my foster cat.
Kidding. My foster cat is hiding under my bed from the snow plough.
But we do have a blog post for you. Today, the Ace of Disks. (Swipe for photo.) Here’s an excerpt... the link to the whole post is in the bio. .

. “In the centre of the card, the disk is printed with Crowley’s seal: ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ. It means “the Great Beast,” a reference to the Beast prophesied in Revelation. The letters add up to 666 using isopsephy, and 666 is inscribed in the centre of the disk inside the tiny triad of circles. Here we land on a striking archetypal point: the earth element as corrupt or corruptible. Our bodies and the material realm as somehow embarrassing or wicked. The Devil in this deck is linked to the sign of Capricorn, for instance. (The goat.) I can’t help but wonder if the subtle maligning of the material realm in western culture has contributed, even tangentially, to how little we respect our planet.” .
