Yesterday I pulled the Hanged Man from the Fey Tarot as an answer to the following question: How do I meet Jesus (in what appearance)? The question was inspired by the miracle at sea, in which the disciples are saved by Jesus. They see him coming in a huge storm, walking on the water and suddenly they are on shore. It is a very dramatic story.

It is late already, but I cannot sleep. I forgot that the tax-person comes very soon. I have not begun yet to do the paperwork.

I’ve drawn some very interesting cards to words from the philosopher Boethius (480-524).

I picked a card from the Buddha Tarot to look back on my day. This morning, walking to a tram stop, I got sick and I am ashamed to say, I’ve vomited on the sidewalk. My stomach was suddenly upset. It was early, so there were not many people that saw it. Happily we got the tram stop in time, but the experience stayed with me all day and the feeling ( Read more... )

I already posted the following last year on this day of the Twelve Days, so this is to many of you a repetition, but not for everybody.

Today I have interpreted my last card from the spread about The Sword and the Leper, a story about St. Brigid. In this story Brigid gives away the food from the larder of her father to the poor. Her father wants to sell her to a neighbouring chieftain as a slave. While they are bargaining a price. Brigid, who is standing outside, gives the sword of ( Read more... )

I went to the Cesar therapist this morning. I am trying to sit on a big rubber ball. For ages now I am trying. It is a struggle, I get pain, pain and pain again.

I want badly to sit on ( Read more... )
