Goodbye trees. I’m walking away from you, in total darkness. You welcomed me into your branches like arms, with your rough trunks you dried my tears. With my tears I watered you. With my tears I cleansed myself. I walked past you everyday, many times a day. You fed my soul, my heart sang, purified…

On Sadness and Trees
I have a little more than a week left in my apartment. I was never particularly happy in it, because it’s a loft, and so I get a lot of light, even at night. I like nights to be dark. But I love the neighbourhood. All around me there are trees, trees everywhere. When I…
About having an altar at home.
The word altar comes from the Latin altus, elevation, height. Probably the most common modern association of an altar comes from churches, but indeed an altar does not have to be related to a specific religion, although many times it is. It’s function? To elevate offerings, sacrifices and prayers to a deity. In fact, the…
Anima Mundi Archetype (post 2 of 3 (maybe more?))
“You will awaken the unique light within and witness how this light contributes to the radiance of the entire universe. You will sense yourself as a critical note in the cosmic orchestra.” (Krans, 223) What is Anima Mundi? What is the Soul of the World? How could it be related to me? Yesterday I was…
On anger.
Today I did a reading for myself, using the deck of The Wild Unknown Archetypes by Kim Krans. As most people right now, I have been having a difficult time in this quarantine. My reasons might be different, though. I don’t know. I have no problem with isolating myself; in fact, in recent years I…
Some ideas on this Depth Year
Some days ago, I committed myself to go on a Depth Year. And yes, I promised myself I would not allow myself to buy any more books, tarot decks and stationery. However, I feel I was a bit imprecise, and that’s why I came up with some ideas of how to go about it. Every…
My Depth Year (right in the middle of the year)
This starts today: April 12, 2020 – April 12, 2021. Phase 1: April 12-October 12, 2020. In my previous post, I committed myself to two things: writing on my blog every single day, and going on a Depth Year. As I have said, I originally heard from the Depth Year in Kelly-Ann Maddox‘s Youtube Channel…
What COVID-19 can teach us about work 2.
It happened to many of us. We heard the news, this new virus was spreading in different parts of the world, despite the efforts to contain it. And in my case, two weeks ago, we were told we had to stop going to work. I will admit I was worried, like everybody else, because not…
What COVID-19 can teach us about work and our lives.
You are in despair. You’re losing work, and so you’re losing income. You’re losing life as you knew it. You can’t go out, you can’t meet friends or customers. Your home, and you find that you have to work twice as much. Your company doesn’t trust you will be working at home, so they’re checking…
A New Ending, and a New Beginning.
Starting a new blog. Or, to be precise, re-starting it. Yes, I have a lot to say but not the clarity of mind to say it. It is like having a rush hour train station inside your head, a multitude of voices, people going in all directions, what is seemingly in order but in reality…
