Look at this awesome live sketch they did of my talk at UBC😍

Thresholds week 4. We are talking about fathers and patriarchy and my student who is a father is talking about the king of Cups with his newborn baby girl in his lap 😭

Don't miss my my talk at UBC on March 20 at 4:30 PM PST.

This talk will engage the tarot as cypher for decolonizing consciousness. Within divination one can find a dignity that is denied in dominator culture. The cards are neurological pivots, subverting the logical dominance of society and self.

Week 3 of Thresholds is always such a treat. We layout the natal chart using the entire tarot deck! Love to see when students share the cards of their chart😍

For Hartman, waywardness is a mode of escape, an activity by which the Black body slips out of the trap of liberal personhood and falls into a wild and extravagant relation to beauty and freedom so clearly the 7 of swords right ?

The decans, the cards become a codex for a critical apparatus in my work. They connect the divine to the Decolonial struggle of our times and illuminate a red path for us to continue walking down. TENZ starts Aries season

The moon is in the last decan of Capricorn which corresponds to the 4 of pentacles. In the smith Waite image we see a strict and severely solitary figure. His material rigidity freezes him place and it becomes an image of constipation.

My prayers, my practices, and my spiritual relationships have gotten so much stronger since I began a divinatory practice, and moreso as I began teaching divination.

If you are seeking sanctuary out of the bounds of patriarchal religion, I invite into TENZ, a year long course in decanic tarot.

The Moon is finishing its journey through Sagittarius. Mars will station tomorrow and will oppose the Moon. Mars fallen, Moon detrimented. Tired body, emotionally worn.

I’m also excited to announce that I will be returning to the California Institute of Integral Studies @ciispubprograms in April! This two-day online workshop, three Hours Per day, Cultivating Decolonial Perspectives on Divination with Tarot, will be held from April 12-13, from 10:00am -1:00pm PDT.
February 22, 2025 at 7:15 PM
So the moon is switching decans from Scorpio 1 to Scorpio 2 right now and our card today is the Five of Cups, which corresponds to the first Scorpio decan, ruled by Mars.
February 18, 2025 at 7:00 PM
New Thresholds cohort starts today! Moon is currently in this decan too 😈
February 18, 2025 at 5:57 PM
This ofc makes me think of Libra 3, ruled by Jupiter, aka the 4 of swords. Next month we will be focusing on your dreams in that space considering alongside some jungian analysis.
February 17, 2025 at 4:39 PM

The Moon has just entered Virgo 3 which corresponds to the Ten of Pentacles and ruled by Mercury. Mercury has just entered Pisces, the opposing sign and place of its fall. The nodes have also recently shifted into Pisces - Mercury.

Offering a new class on Arcanum 13 and thinking about dance as a way of emotionally and kinetically moving with the dead. Death will always have a fleshy, trembling, twitching dance partner.

It’s a Leo Full Moon! The Sun is in the 3rd decan of Aquarius and the Moon in the 3rd decan of Leo, syncretized to the 7 of wands and ruled by Mars.
February 12, 2025 at 7:32 PM
The Moon is currently conjoined Mars in Cancer 2, the Bechdel Decan. This decan is a greenhouse where the girls gather and there exotic, rare growth is supported because one is beyond the purview of the male gaze.
February 9, 2025 at 7:55 PM
.Rn the Moon is conjoined Jupiter in Gemini 2. This corresponds to the 9 of swords.

TENZ orients decanic tarot as walking upon such a red road. I love this hermit card because the stars become turquoise pearls that crown consciousness.
February 7, 2025 at 1:26 AM
The Moon is in Taurus 1, Venus has entered Aries 1 and Jupiter is finally direct 😭

TAURUS 1 : CRIP SPACETIME

TAURUS 2: TRANSCORPOREAL RHYTHYM

TAURUS 3: THE ROSARY
