As the waning Moon crosses the final, dissolving degrees of Pisces (twenty-seventh, threshold of endings and beginnings), a gate opens between element and archetype. The world stands at a crossing: from the oceanic depths of the mutable water to the blazing threshold of cardinal fire. Images collide, matter ripens or withers, bonds are sealed or…

Hidden beneath the clatter of ecstatic tongues and the blaze of Pentecostal fire, a subtler current moves through the feast, one older than the Church, deeper than doctrine, more patient than miracle.

I. The Fool’s Threshold At the edge of every journey, at the border between the known and the abyss, stands The Fool. In the Tarot’s first and final card, he strides forth, both careless or holy, radiant or naïve, but always accompanied. Most see the knapsack, the precipice, the flower. Fewer see the dog: the…

Time in apparitions is not linear but vertical. Between Nut and Mary, between pyramids and churches, runs the invisible thread of the Lady, the primordial Mother, Queen of Heaven, Mistress of the Womb and Abyss. In Coptic Egypt, where traditions do not die but only change names, Mary inherits the insignias of Nut: crown of…

If interested in a personal liturgy and reading, please consult this portal. At the moment Arthur Rimbaud entered this world, not only was a veil torn open, but an altar was ignited in flesh itself.
