February 2023 Update
One day early in the month, after reading about crystal balls setting homes on fire (which I already knew about) and seeing something about the danger of glass bottles, I got worried about the glass bowls that I use for pouring offerings into. Like, really, it can happen. The next day, about twenty minutes after … Continue reading February 2023 Update
January 2023: Happy, Calm Things
One of the things I appreciate about this time of year is how neon-navy the sky is when I leave work. The sky coaxes itself lighter every day, and soon the sun will still be up when I leave my basement office. One day late in the month, I caught a glimpse of the young-crescent … Continue reading January 2023: Happy, Calm Things
What to Expect on KALLISTI in 2023
Over the past few months, I’ve been rereading Simplicius’ commentary on Epictetus, and it has given me ample things to be reflective about as I welcome the new year. In particular, over the past week or so, I've been thinking a lot about what Simplicius says about philotimia. The word is usually translated as "love … Continue reading What to Expect on KALLISTI in 2023
Happy New Year!
🎉 Let's begin with a small annual divination I did with the intention of putting it up here. The question was, "What three practices can anchor us in the Gods more fully this year?" and I want to show you what the answer was. The three cards on the table.

December 2022: End-of-Year Review
December began when I was walking home from work in the pitch dark and looked up at the moon. Much to my shock and delight, the Moon and Jupiter were together. I couldn't capture them adequately with my phone, but here you go: What lovely brightness. In December, I was only in the office for … Continue reading December 2022: End-of-Year Review
Soul’s Inner Statues: Major Update
My main December personal project was preparing the Soul's Inner Statues for an at-cost print-on-demand version, and I wanted to make sure the text and formatting were in good shape for that. This goal, thank Apollon and Aletheia, has been achieved. Here, again, is a link to the project: https://kayeofswords.github.io/soulsinnerstatues This second stage has been … Continue reading Soul’s Inner Statues: Major Update
One Month Ago, I Deleted Twitter
On November 14, 2022, I deleted my personal Twitter without announcing it. Before spin class, I was looking through the suggested items in my Google News feed, and I saw that two-factor authentication was being dismantled. Had —apparently — already been dismantled. F–k, I thought, I've been logged out for months and won't be able … Continue reading One Month Ago, I Deleted Twitter
November 2022: Heading Into Late Autumn
Let's begin this monthly update with a photograph of dried flowers that I found at the farmer's market during the first weekend of November, which I offered to Aphrodite. It is her season, after all. One of the reasons I love this card from Susan Seddon Boulet is that the artist did not hypersexualize Aphrodite. … Continue reading November 2022: Heading Into Late Autumn
