Waxtober 30

This morning was an early riser… I looked at today’s waxing and felt it pulse… There’s a kind of throbbing about it, pushing out waves of colour… I briefly thought of the Northern Lights but that wasn’t really speaking to me, then my eye was drawn to the right hand side and oh… That kind […]

The good thing about working to your own rules is that you can change them as and when you feel. This morning I felt the urge to continue working the colours into a second image… I spend a lot of time thinking about the concept of winging it… It is pretty much my M. O. […]

I was holding off announcing this until I’d at least finished Waxtober but today through my letterbox dropped something that felt to be a sign… Today is my Wedding Anniversary and so I guess a good day to announce a birth… Finally… After many many twists and turns and changes of name… My deck is […]

Waxing today drifted into a narcolepsy and notepad kind of day… I’ll briefly outline my thoughts but I know that when readings come through in this way, they are slow brews that become fuller flavoured over the coming days and weeks… I looked at the colours and thought of fluorite and kyanite briefly before my […]

Today’s waxing opened up a conversation with Odin… admittedly, I didn’t see him at first. Initially, I was drawn into the cabbage like shape and drifting in idle thoughts trying to decide whether those lines looked like the veins in a placenta or more like an evolutionary tree of life… thinking about how shapes in […]

When I look at today’s waxing, I think Hmmm… and I feel my jaw clench as I purse my lips until they almost touch my nose… I think to myself that’s it’s an odd reaction and I wonder why I’ve done it… I look at the image and I see parts that remind my of […]
