My almost finished Athame. It feels wildly powerful. Final step is etching sigils and charging under the full moon. I am so thankful to have had this opportunity today. #witchsjy
An athame, double bladed made from a single piece of steel with a twisted handle.

Making my athame today. Fire, air, earth and eventually a quench. Putting myself inti this thing. Every strike an intention. #witchsky

Today my deck gave me The World. I love it when this stuff happens: The end of the fool’s journey on the last day of the year, and a promise of completion and fulfillment of endeavors to come IF you are willing to give back to the world. #tarotsky #witchsky
The World from The Ethereal Visions tarot deck. A woman with waving hair in art nouveau style raises her arms in a circle. Below her are images of a hawk, a lion, a bull and a person. The card has foil details.

I’ve been working on my wand for a long time. Solstice feels like a good time to finish it.

I found this root on a hike. It feels like it was made for my hand.

Wands of #witchsky

This is an oooold tattoo (I got in my 20s) inspired by Beardsley borders. I need to get it refreshed. Three bands interrupted by three symbols on the inner arm. A diamond for the mind, a flame for the heart and a lotus flower for the sex because they have both male and female parts.

I started my card-a-day tarot study. Considering the practice is meant to learn and meditate on tho cards pulled I did not pull my card with any intentions or questions. But the deck answered nevertheless. It was a 5 of wands day, ya’ll. Conflict, annoyances, battles, frustrations. Ugh. #tarotsky
The five of wands card from the Ethereal Visions Tarot deck features five young men is a seeming conflict. They are uncoordinated and at cross purposes as the flail around with their “wands” represented in this image as staves.

Today is my birthday! I’m 50 (Kick! Stretch!). I bought myself this gorgeous tarot deck. It’s been many years since I’ve had one. So I need a reminder: What are you doing to bless or charge or bond with your new deck? Hit me #witchsky #tarotsky
The box of the Ethereal Visions Illuminated Tarot deck featuring the image of a woman with high collar and the moon at her bosom, rendered in swirly art nouveau style in tones of blue, gold and cream.

I too want to lay my body on the radiator and scream about the cold. I see you Peter. I do.

An amazing Friday to all who celebrate. This cray-z boi just deadlifted above his bodyweight for the first time ever. Woohoo! #flexfriday #gymlife
Gym selfie! I’m giving the peace sign and behind me is a weight bar loaded with 240lbs.

Moody woods. An excellent addition to your prescribed antidepressant. Take liberally as needed.

This is the second largest tulip tree in Ohio. But it is the largest one I know personally. I sit with it awhile any time I pass. It’s a good old tree and a fine friend to sit with.
I picture that looks up the trunk of the second largest tulip tree in ohio. It is grayish brown with furrowed bark. I am in the lower left. I an also grayish in my beard and wearing a blue coat and black beanie.

My first piece. I need A LOT more practice obviously. 😂 But I was proud because my youngest son immediately asked if he could have it.
First try at embroider which has lettering that says “The Wild” a fly and a floral motif.

He has plenty of places specifically made for him to chill. But he prefers to antagonize the dog by occupying his crate. Sometimes cats are assholes.

The correct (and silliest) way to hold a pear while eating it. AKA “Ice cream” style. [per my previous skeet]
