I have been practicing moderation by not acquiring Nicola Spanu's Proclus and the Chaldean Oracles: A Study on Proclean Exegesis, with a Translation and Commentary of Proclus’ Treatise On Chaldean Philosophy because my TBR is already very long, and I know that the chances of me getting to it this year are slim given my … Continue reading A Few Books on Divination and Oracles

In 2020, due to feeling a lot of social burnout, pessimism, and pain about our wider polytheistic communities, I started doing a divination reading every three months about the polytheistic communit[y/ies].

Annually on the new secular year, I do what many do: a divination spread that outlines what I can expect in the coming year, the good and the bad. I pray to Apollôn and spend about an hour interpreting the cards. I do an Astrological Wheel spread that I've used since my mother bought me … Continue reading Divination: Looking Back at 2019
