Went to the aquarium to beat the heat.

Facebook memories showed me this and I literally have no clue who could have said this to me. So if it was one of you please tell me haha.

Happy World Goth Day. Have old pictures of me incorporating my traditional Chinese clothing into my goth club outfits. (That was the bathroom of my old goth club Reptile at the Archway venue, sadly since closed) #worldgothday

Bit late this year! They were well and truly up two weeks ago last year. This was them at the time still cohabiting. This year they have their own pot each.

The Dark Aruna variety is always a week or so behind but it finally has tiny shoots popping.

Dahlia update!! We are breaching the soil

New moon is tomorrow! I made this tarot card spread a while ago, feel free to use it. #tarot #tarotsky #tarotspread #tarotspreads

I still need to replace the dead lavender in the front with some herbs. The two big black pots have my dahlias which haven’t come up yet. Also planted some borage in the brown window boxes. The lavender and strawberries are still going after four years though! We’re getting there.

Also had these two giant pots from when I had garlic last year so I put a pack of Wildlife and Cornfield mix of wildflower seeds, one in each.

Also new to me - geraniums.

Never has Nemesia as well but the bees seemed to love it at the garden centre and I mostly like to get plants which bees love.

Another new one for me. It’s a foxglove hybrid called digiplexis.

Got a snapdragon for the first time. With a matching pot from last year!

Finally started cleaning up dead things in the garden and replanting new things this weekend! Which means… garden centre adventures. Haul below!

Happy Beltane, about to have meat grilled over fire. Kind of fitting.

Three of Cups! Looks like your summer vibes are the friends you made along the way. Raise your glass and toast those ride or die homies, the ones who will celebrate both big and small victories with you.

The High Priestess! Spiritual enlightenment and divine wisdom is very much within reach - very fitting you should draw this today as it is Beltane and the veil is thin. Time to pay closer attention to your intuition and mediate between the material and spiritual realms.

Very literal, apparently, this deck. XD New beginnings in the homestead! Embrace this opportunity for growth, with strategic planning. With some effort, your home will be a stable, nurturing environment for you. Care for it and it will care for you.

Seven of Wands (Reversed) (Pictured upright for ease) Getting snowed under by self-doubt, but don’t let it get to you. Feeling vulnerable is always awkward at first but have faith and keep at it.

Justice (Reversed) Pictured upright for ease. All you can do is take accountability for what you have done. The forgiveness you give to others should be extended to yourself too.

LOL I think there’s your answer clearly. Wealth, abundance, and material success through ambition, effort, diligence. Turning stones to gold and maximising the value of things. Provider and protector, wisdom through practicality and rationality. Creating wealth for not just yourself but others.

Also I need to gush about the back - the gold part is embossed and it feels gorgeous. #tarot

Some of my favourite cards! They even have the Chinese name of the card. Really enjoying the blend of cultures here, which reflects my practice. They still have RWS imagery throughout as well for the most part with figures from Chinese mythology. Artwork: Zhong Zhen Jie Writing: Li Sha #tarot

My birthday present arrived!! Finally found a tarot deck that suited me which wasn’t done by AI and not a forgery (that’s another story). This is the 龙 Lóng Tarot deck by Chengdu Arcana. More pics below! Deck interview soon. If you have a question and want me to draw a card just reply 🐉🐲 #tarot

Found the original deck interview I did back in 2021 when I got this deck - Antique Anatomy by Claire Goodchild. Decided to do another to see if it's changed much, but also so people know what they're signing up for when they request a reading with this deck. ko-fi.com/post/Deck-In... #tarot

I suck at plant ID.

Highgate Cemetery had a thing where we could get in for free today and it’s spring so

Now the hair matches the eyes 😍

Went from red to purple to red again. I wish I had better photos of the first two but only have ones where I just took my braids out.

The outfit without the outer hanfu layer and closeup of the accessories with the filigree patterns.
