When writers I’ve had the honor of working with through Sibling Rivalry Press succeed, it’s emotional for me. I’m kind of like a publishing daddy and when they do good, my heart swells. Congratulations to Joe Osmundson on being a finalist for the National Book Award for his latest: Spawning Season.

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.

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.

The cards: May your encounters be worthy of your fullness. May your unions be as deep as your heart desires. May the desert receive what you're carrying.

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.

Bryan Borland @bryanborland.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The Devil isn't the obstacle here; he's the muse.

Bryan Borland @bryanborland.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The Emperor brings the authority to claim your voice as valid, to structure the work so it can be shared. Spend today writing what scares you slightly. The cards suggest your best work happens when you're spiritually naked—kind, compassionate, and absolutely filthy.

111

Bryan Borland @bryanborland.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

The synthesis: Your cards are giving you permission to write from the intersection of cock and cosmos. The doubled Devil says don't sanitize your shadows—the spiritual and the sexual are the same current. The Prince of Cups brings the emotional intelligence to make it tender, not just transgressive.
