As I said in a previous post, I decided to sit down and do the work, and I have managed to finish the first week of The Artist’s Way programme, and of course there have been some findings that I would like to share here. The course is divided into 12 different weeks, and its…
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…
A little note on my Vision Board…
Today’s post will be a little bit short. I want to share my new vision board and also talk about a little on how I use it. I say this is my new vision board, but the fact is that I made it some months ago and I have only just hung it up. A…
Some sources to learn Tarot (Part 1)
I don’t really think you can call yourself a tarot expert. Or maybe you can, but there is always so much new stuff to learn that it seems at times that you don’t really know anything at all. However, this does not mean that learning Tarot is impossible. You have to think more of it…
Some tips to learn Tarot (and not feel overwhelmed in the process)
I have always wanted to learn Tarot. I used to have a friend at work, who used to read the cards for us. I remember she had a number of books and photocopies and she would consult them whenever she did a reading. For a long time, I thought that this was the way a…
When life gives you lemons… (The Tower?)
To day has been a bizarre kind of day. It started normal, with an early morning class, I did my morning pages and walked to my parents’ home. I decided that the walk would be my Artist’s Date of sorts, since we are not really allowed to go anywhere. I saw lonely streets, beautiful houses…
Revelations from The Artist’s Way.
Since I have committed myself to writing on my blog everyday and this is a commitment I have made many times before (and broken it), I haven’t stop thinking of what measures I can take to ensure that this is the last time I commit (because it won’t be brokem, that is). I have managed…
The Inner Quest Part 4 (Kairos)
Kairos as Initiation. The Initiations are powerful cards, indicators of great changes and movement of energies. They are the Great Theme of a lifetime, or the theme of a particular chapter or situation. More than the backdrop or the scenery against which the story is played, Initiations are the driving forces of life, the sudden…
The Inner Quest Part 3 (The Vow)
Hey there!! We continue where we left off. After visiting The Pilgrim, the character of this story, and The Box, the setting where it is taking place. The next step on the Inner Quest Spread is The Tools. The Tools are Archetypes on their own right, but they can also represent an “object”, something that…
The Inner Quest Part 2 (The Box)
Let us continue where we left off yesterday with my reading from The Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck. The Pilgrim card said I was a pilgrim, it said it was my mission to move, to find the new, to experiment. The second card is the Place, the background of my journey, where the story takes place….
