Time spent in deep thought. Contemplating the world. Pausing to get my cocktail of ideas & emotions sorted before I take on a big change in my life as well as a new big project. Yep, that’s exactly what I need right now, a break to recalibrate & that’s exactly what I’ve been doing today. #Tarotsky

The 4 of cups card from the Rider Waite tarot deck. A man sits beneath a tree with arms crossed, possibly in meditation or contemplation. Three cups sit before him that he’s not interacting with. In the air in front of him a hand emerges with a fourth cup appearing to offer it to the man who ignores it as well.

The old man dressed in red, surrounded by orange and gold, sitting on a stone throne in front of a barren mountain range. Card reversed meaning I’m fighting some hierarchy and abusive authoritative power. #Tarot is spot on lately 😆😭 #Tarotsky

2 days in a row I’ve drawn the High Priestess card for my #TarotCOTD. Obviously she has more wisdom to share with me 😆 Yesterday I focused on looking beyond duality in the world. Today, my focus is taking a more detailed look at the messages of Boaz & Jachin. #Tarotsky

The High Priestess card from the Tider Waite tarot deck. The High Priestess sits in front of a veil featuring pomegranates and palm leaves. There are 2 pillars on either side of her. To her right, a black pillar with a B on it, signifying Boaz. To her left a white pillar with a J on it, signifying Jachin.

Spending some time with the court cards today. Also doing a bit more study on Myers-Briggs system. It’s been years since I studied personality psychology, kinda fun to step back into it. #Tarotsky

Red tacos from the Carniceria 🤤 I ate one before I thought to share the deliciousness with you.

2 red tacos (tacos made with corn tortillas dipped in enchilada sauce) next to radish and cucumber slices, and a lime wedge. All served on a paper plate with a serving paper featuring red, yellow, and green chilies.

It may have been about 100F out today, but I still simmered a pot of stock to make my daughter homemade chicken noodle soup before she goes off to college. She made the homemade noodles. We’ll can the unused broth & chicken. There are several lbs of chicken under those veggies

Today I’m reading Moral Vices and Virtues: An Ethics of Mutual Aid. Character, Cooperation, and the Moral Cost of Hierarchy by Mason Carter It’s a simple, concise book that appears to be one that will intersect many of my endeavors. It will be one I frequently consult.

A green paperback book on a green backdrop. On the center of the cover is a capital A with a circle around it; the anarchist symbol. The title and author are written in sans serif font.

Meditation with my tarot deck to help me gain focus and perspective on my decision to start a mutual aid group. It guided me to yes this is the best path to resist fascism, my initial focus should be on conflict management & deescalation skills as I start to build better community. #Tarotsky

A cascading tarot spread with the Rider Waite deck on an olive green background. The bottom-most card is Queen of Pentacles with The Emperor reversed on top of it, followed by The Lovers reversed, then Queen of Swords reversed, finally The Empress upright as the final card in the cascade.

Today my Miso is watching the birds. #catsky

A small black cat lying on top of a mid sized cat tower in front of a window, her ears are perked up attentively. A bird feeder is hanging outside that window with a finch eating birdseed on either side of it.

I haven’t had the chance to get a good picture of my new baby, until now. Meet my new kitten, Miso. She came home with me from the shelter and fit right in with the family. Shes spring actioned and equal parts adorable and mischievous. I love her so freaking much 💚

Black info image with white sans serif lettering and some accent yellow lettering. Text reads:

Juneteenth Explained (with a black power fist icon preceding it)

How White People Should Show Up

Juneteenth is not a day for white people to center themselves.

It is a day to:
*learn the history
*listen more than you speak
*support Black-led events and organizations
*donate, volunteer, and buy from Black businesses
*talk honestly about slavery, anti-Blackness, and repair

Show up with respect, not performance

Someone doesn’t understand I have a deadline to get this afghan finished and I’m running behind. #catsky #crochet

A black cat named Midnight lies on a blue striped afghan that’s draped over my legs. It’s a work in progress and has a crochet hook sitting on it.

Speaking of animals, Mr. T just stopped by for a visit 🤣

My lilacs are attracting a variety of Lepidoptera. Yesterday I found butterflies, moths, and skippers flitting around the blossoms, including these gorgeous ladies sporting both colors of female Eastern Tiger Swallowtails

Sitting outside crocheting. The breeze is sending the scent of lilacs over to me 💚

Don’t forget to look up. The world is a scary place, but when we look up we often notice things we hadn’t before. Looking up to locate the bird chirping at me I watched a yellow swallowtail butterfly glide by against the blue backdrop. It made me smile. #witchsky #hope #LookUp

A collection of tree branches sporting their spring leaf growth against a bright clear blue sky. I finally found the bird that was chirping and realized I captured it in this photo. You have to zoom in and look close to find it. Happy hunting!

It’s really hard to crochet when someone thinks it’s a bed. #catsky #crochetsky

Costco sent me a replacement order for a box I never received. They sent each item in a separate box 😒 I made use of it and created a cardboard tower for the cats to explore.

Empty Costco boxes in various sizes stacked with the open side facing out like a bookshelf placed next to a grey couch on a wooden floor in a living room.

Picked up a bunch of physics books for my aspiring physicist teen & my eye caught this one written by Felix Flicker, PhD, a theoretical physicist. Very much interested to see how this perspective melds with my personal views of science and spirituality. #Witchsky

Cats are lounging in the sun. One is getting baked, the other is hot boxing.

Midnight (black cat) is in her paper lined loaf pan box, Denny (blue and white cat) is lounging in his favorite box.

Had a busy day today, but took an hour to spend with the Sandhill cranes tonight. We found a nice quiet spot along the Platte River and admired thousands of cranes flying in to roost for the night. One of my favorite spring traditions.
