It's My Party And I'll Scry If I Want To
Operation "It's My Party And I'll Scry If I Want To" is in its planning stages. We have a venue. We have some workshops sketched out. (How to *really* understand Court Cards, How to use Lenormand with Tarot, Astrological Correspondences for the Major Arcana). Stay tuned! -

When it's rush hour, you *don't* want to be in downtown Austin or Dallas
As part of my Year of Commitment, which includes committing to Texas, I just applied for a TxTag. Never again will I be stuck in Round Rock-Austin traffic! It takes me 10 minutes on access roads just to get on I-35. With the SH 130 pretty much at my doorstep, that's an instant time savings ( Read more... ) -
Panic in the park
