  • Tarot Liturgy for Corpus Christi – A Gnostic Reading

    Every sacred feast is also a map of absence, a liturgy of what remains at the threshold: longing, hunger, and exile.

  • Cardinal Liturgy for the Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

    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.

    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…

  • The Incandescent Mirror: Rimbaud’s First House in Libra and the Alchemy of the Self
