Today is International Self Care Day! If you’re the sort of person who’s often there for others, that’s great! But make sure to take time out for yourself. Neglecting your own needs helps no one. If you need perspective on this (or any other issues) a tarot reading can help.
Comedian Steven Wright speaks of playing a game with tarot cards that they really aren’t meant for. #Tarot #TarotReadingsByJeanPierre #JPVTarot #TarotChicago
Great Saturday night recovery from a rough work week! After seeing St. Nicolas at City Lit Theater, we strolled around Edgewater and shopped at local places Solar Intentions , Roots & Ritual , and Transistor. And we ended with a great dinner at Hamburger Marys Chicago!
I was lucky enough to find Raymond Buckland’s Domino Divination Deck at The Armadillo's Pillow recently. While the cards are in good condition, the box has seen better days. Finding something else to keep the deck in was a bit difficult. The non-rounded corners ruled out my usual choice of …
Happy International Drag Day! Though I haven’t donned a wig and heels in years, drag is an art form I still love and will always be a part of who I am. I highly recommend to anyone: take the stage and play with gender! Expressing myself in such a way was freeing and revealing!
Popular thought holds that the Ace of Spades is the Death card. In the Hammer horror classic Frankenstein Created Woman, a decadent young aristocrat with a guilty conscience is certainly not thrilled to see it turn up in a moment of accidental cartomancy.

We had a wonderful time yesterday at Untitled Vampire Play at Lookingglass Theatre yesterday! Weird coincidence with the T-shirt I was wearing and the one they were selling! Afterward, we marveled at the incredible fog engulfing the buildings downtown. @northerlymk.bsky.social

For this 4th of July, I ate Mexican takeout and watched an Indonesian horror movie!
For the prize task in one episode of Taskmaster, the contestants are challenged to bring in something “soft.” Reece Shearsmith brings in a “Fortune Raven.” The only thing soft about it seems to be the feathers he glued to it, …
The newest addition to my tarot T-shirt collection illustrates the Hermit in an interesting way that looks cosmic and medieval (and French!). A pity that, despite having apparently celestial vision, this fellow couldn’t find a candle holder. #Tarot #TheHermit #JPVTarot #TarotChicago
I remember when I was a young novice comic book collector, I would see mentions of The Sleeze Brothers in catalogues and preview zines. I thought the title was off-putting yet alluring. Years later I found a random back issue in a dollar store grab bag, and really enjoyed it.

Vamp: The Theda Bara Tarot, by Jook Tarot. Theda Bara is known as the original Hollywood vamp from the silent film era. Her personae on and off the screen were contrived by the studio to present her as a seductive and nigh mystical figure. In this deck, the incredible visuals of her performances …
