This Week on Sick Sad World,

Two Divination Spreads to welcome February ❄️

This weekend I focused on taking a deep breath. Imbolc vibes were immaculate:

This Celtic Oracle was a lovely find. I haven’t used it much since I returned from the UK where it sprang to life in a whole new way. While it still has its moments, there is something to be said when a deck is placed in an indigenous environment that is attuned to them. Cat hair not included.

I also casually spiraled into despair because of every waking nightmare happening in the good old U S of fucking A. You win some, you lose most. But lately…I’ve been winning.

It is strange to be suspended between radical change on a global scale and kind of doing fine in the free fall. I’m used to freefall. I’m used to learning to thrive in “restrictive” (culty) environments. My lived experience is reversed: everyone’s doing just fine while my life undergoes another loss or setback. We get back up. There’s examples to look to, art to make and change to welcome in.

If you like this journal, my mom handmakes them! DM Me if you want to order your own.

What I’m Enjoying:

LetterLoop is my favorite way to stay connected with my friends rn. Build your own newsletter with curated prompts that are sent to you and all your friends. I learned so much about my friends even the ones I talk to daily. So fun and intentional. 💌

Beyonce, Doechii, Kendrick and Chappell winning Grammys, but especially Kendrick for weaving a FAFO spell into Not Like Us. He effectively bottled the adrenaline we get for being petty at just the perfect moment. 🎼 🤠 🐊 🐴

Community with Women who are safe sacred spaces no matter what is or isn’t happening. 🌀 🙏

Moon is in Taurus: Slow down and smell the roses. If you’re sleepy, this is a good time to enter meditative states or practice astral projection. Also a good idea to just take one thing at a time and help your body wind down from how the Aries moon transit riled us up. 🥱 🌹 ✨ 🌬️
