Who is the Magician?

In my last blog, I explain why I am doing a tarot deck and that I have also written a book about the cards. I also go over the more technical details of the Fool card and some of its meaning. The Fool is the central character of the Infinite Tarot deck as he goes […]

Part I – How I Stopped Loving A Place The leaves are falling off the cherry trees and turning them back into the haunted orchard where leaves crackle and owls hoot. The mystery is even creepier when it is a full moon and you can look into the orchard with clarity and still think that […]

The Lovers

The Fool found that the road got very narrow with the wildwood closing in. Branches were scraping against him and the roots kept tripping him up. He started to think he should turn around. Maybe he was going the wrong way. The Hierophant had pointed down this road, and it was in the opposite direction […]

The Empress

The Fool comes out of the peacock to outside. When he turns around he doesn’t see the peacock feathers anymore. He is in a hot dry place. There are cypress trees around him and it is rocky. A hot wind blows through the small glen he is in. He sees a waterfall and a woman […]

The 5 years of bing bong

It was 5 years ago today that Nicole and I began our relationship. There was so much going on in those days. I was in the middle of cancer treatment, recovering from major surgeries, and waiting to find out if my prognosis is terminal. She was going through a lot as well, which isn’t my […]

More Than a Paper Moon

Love is never a constant and steady thing where one feels it and if it is the one true love, never goes away. Love is fickle. Love is an action that one takes when they don’t feel it, to be grateful when one does feel it, and to never take the other person for granted. […]

Changing One Anniversary For Another

Yesterday was my 5-year anniversary of being diagnosed with cancer. No one wrote on my Facebook wall, called, or sent me any presents. In my life, this anniversary has as much to do with who I am as my birthday, my sobriety date, and my wedding anniversary. It’s a bittersweet date. I was one kind […]

Dreaming Under the Sicilian Sun

I’m not sure how old I was, my brother was there, my parents told me I was adopted. All they knew was that my biological father was Sicilian. Sicily became to be this place of magic and mystery to me. Sicilian customs, such as Catholicism and the Mafia, we’re attractive to me. Before I go […]

When A House Disappears

There used to be a house in this picture. Between that holly tree and the monstrous ugly building in the background stood a little perfect house that I used to live in. I only lived there for three years, but they were huge years. Suddenly the space that so much happened in is completely gone. […]

Sacred Love

I am engaged to get married. I was pretty sure that I would never be engaged. Not because no one would want to, or that I hate the institution of marriage, but just that it wouldn’t happen. There is this threshold that one walks through to be ready for that kind of commitment. It’s not […]
