Test-Driving the Pisces Brain
I’m back in Seattle now after several days of ducking out in Portland with Havi. Her adventures with finding a not-office space and turning it into the kooky awesomeness of the Playground was… strangely compelling.

Portland and I haven’t ever spent any time together though, so it’s nice to be able to get to [...]

Significators
A significator is a tarot card, chosen by tradition or by inquiry, that you select to represent yourself. It may represent how you see yourself and the qualities within you, it may resemble you physically, or it may symbolize qualities within yourself that you want to develop. You can use your significator in all personal [...]
