The Redcoats Have Gone Completely Insane: A Call to Action for Your Digital Autonomy

"Everything bad originated from 'Great' Britain.” There, I said it. I refer to the government of course, not the people. But their ruling class invented concentration camps, central banking, all the good stuff. Now they want your data, but not just the British people's data, no, no, EVERYONE'S data. At least those of Apple users because they already hav…

Born on the Fourth of July

In my last post, the Warrior of Cups, I mentioned I have invigorated my spiritual practice. Part of that has been a much deeper dive into the Tarot. I have worked with various sets of cards much of my adult life, but I have never really studied the cards, to get a better understanding of each card’s meaning. The tarot has been described as a map of the …

Life has a way of weaving invisible threads between us, sometimes resulting in profound influences we don’t recognize until much later. Although I didn’t perform professionally until I was 22, my interest in magic began with a boy in a colorful costume who had unknowingly influenced a shy kid sitting in the audience, watching in amazement…

Psychologists love your trauma (and they don’t want you to know what comes next)

By now, you’ve probably heard the gospel of mental health: "Your trauma is valid." "Healing is a journey." Very touching. Very soft.
