Today’s #Tarot - from the Aleister Crowley/Frieda Harris Thoth Tarot deck: 2 of Wands (Dominion) + Queen of Cups — The cards say: Begin from the bottom. The dominion you claim now is over your own depths. The light and loving, the dark and perverse. It all lives in these waters.

More pics from the @fathermarc.bsky.social book launch. And yes, that’s the forthcoming book from @theecstaticself.bsky.social (Marc and Kaelan are pressmates so Marc gets an early look!) and the legendary sweetheart @richardsdicks.gay and the beautiful soul @babethepigboi.bsky.social. What love.

Today’s #Tarot - from the Aleister Crowley/Frieda Harris Thoth Tarot deck: Adjustment + Princess of Swords — These are cards of reciprocal exchanges: a meeting that nourishes both. The connections made are real, the pleasure shared, the book found its readers, the bodies found their rhythm.

So proud of @fathermarc.bsky.social for a successful book launch. The night was full of family (blood and chosen and 🐶), love, and fun. So many beautiful people with beautiful stories.

This morning’s #Tarot - from the Aleister Crowley/Frieda Harris Thoth Tarot deck: 8 of Cups (Indolence) + 4 of Disks (Power) — The message: There's something you're refusing to leave because it represents security (4 of Disks), even though emotionally you've already checked out (8 of Cups).

This morning’s #Tarot - from the Aleister Crowley/Frieda Harris Thoth Tarot deck: Prince of Swords + Princess of Swords. — I’ve been asked why I pull two cards and place them this way. My intuition pulls me to this method. I seek the energy of the moment and how to put it into action.

Yes, I wrote a book about reclaiming the body as sacred, overcoming shame, and embracing your full self. Why do you ask? 😇

I took the photograph that appears on the front cover of Listen, Kid from a bus window just outside of Janakpur, Nepal in February. Zoom in and you’ll see four children, each standing nearly an equal distance apart.

Have you ever had what felt like a visitation dream from a loved one after their death? “I ask without words if he knows the strength of my love. The answer comes like life. A luminous yes.”

He was a tarnished Boy God of sun-soaked skin, North Carolina eyes, Arkansas tongue. Southern Colossus chiseled in Arctic-blue crystal and cloudy onyx, black hair he or I would push away from his eyes, black heart that in private pumped lava just for me. #poetry #gaypoetry

Yes! Shame and guilt can be so debilitating! When someone says something to make you feel ashamed, it doesn’t go in one ear and out the other! It gets trapped in your head and it grows! Fear and guilt then feeds it. Shame…Fear…Guilt - words - NOT FACTS - used by others to gain control. DISMISS THEM!
