I know this account has been a little quiet lately. Just life stuff, but we're still putting out episodes every Wednesday! And with any luck things will be settling down from the chaos soon. *my brand new 3-month-old puppy eats through my garbage can and summons an archfae somehow* ...Soon.

It's Juneteenth! Here are some zines I made at the local Juneteenth Market and at a Seeing Other People Photography workshop I helped put on! I love my people, I love myself, and I love zines! 1/2

A zine reading "Some of my favorite things about Black People"

Left Page of the zine reads "we have a great sense of humor" and three figures laughing. The right page says "which is prolly why we're good at Real Talk"

Left Page of the zine reads "We have so many great hairstyles" with a illustration of four people with different hairstyles. The right page reads "and soul food basically shaped American Cuisine". The illustrations are of Mac n cheese, potato chips, and friend chicken.

The left Page says: Another thing I love is the act of having play family. The right page concludes the zine with I think that ties in to our connection to community.

No, we didn't lose the whole fight for trans rights today. We lost a battle, yes. But the fight isn't over. And no, trans kids don't need to be told it gets better. They DO need to see us fight for them. They need to know we won't give up on them. Tomorrow we start the fight again.

The cruelty is horrendous and will affect adults too, but for any trans youth out there, I want you to know your elders are fighting for you. We wanted to leave you a world where you didn't have to fight, but our struggle is not new. We have and will always exist. I love you. #ProtectTransKids

Reading: Even where grim cynicism is expected, a dose of childlike wonder and curiosity can do you good. Our inner child invites spontaneity, hope, and gentleness into our lives, and we would do well to listen to them. They do not need to make all our decisions, but they should at least be heard.

6/13/25 #WildDraw of the Day: GoGurt (from Cards Against Humanity) Surprisingly tame given the possible draws from this deck, though I see how this card have devastating effectiveness in the hands of a savvy player.

Reading: Life may give you both sweet and sour at times. This isn't necessarily bad. They keep you balanced and provide a mature experience full of complexity to appreciate. Add a dash of spontaneity to the mix when you can. Life comes in seasons, and this is a time that may feel raw but fresh.

Side note: grated chocolate as a garnish is essentially fancy sprinkles. And I think sprinkles are the epitome of things adults have no appreciation for despite how much happier they would be with them in their lives. Slow down, have some sprinkles, and enjoy the simple pleasure of unnecessary fun.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

This recipe has two steps: Combine the ingredients and let chill (three steps if you grate chocolate on for a garnish, which you should). And sometimes it really is that simple. Combine tart and sweet (such as an amount of sugar that would be irresponsible on a daily basis), and there it is.

6/11/2025 #WildDraw of the Day: Italian Macerated Strawberries Trying something a little different today for our wild draw. Instead of using cards, we're using a random recipe. Let's see what we can learn from this fruity little guy (you're welcome for your new gender descriptor).

Italian Macerated Strawberries

Strawberries are macerated in a sweet balsamic sauce with black pepper and garnished with grated chocolate for a surprisingly delicious strawberry dessert.

#COTD Reading: You are filled with drive towards a new opportunity. Congratulations! Your passion and tenacity are a powerful match for breaking out of your shell. Much still lies ahead, though, and I encourage patience in equal measure to form a stable trinity.

As such, I'm less tempted to view this card as an Ace and more as The Fool. A traveler at the beginning of their journey filled with red hot ambition and cool blue determination. They are freshly hatched and excited to see what's out there, to the detriment of reason and caution.

But back to the single solid purple oval. One naturally symbolizes beginnings but also isolation. Solid implies an inner core of determination. Purple is a secondary color of red and blue, down at the bottom of the rainbow and just before ultraviolet on the EM spectrum. Oval comes from "ovum" (egg).

Yet threes are common in spirituality, though its meaning varies from practice to practice. Being a retired mathematician I associate it with the stability of triangles. Being a novice witch I connect it to harmony and balance. Being a runner, I also know it's the hardest mile before it gets easier.

6/10/25 #WildDraw of the Day: Single Solid Purple Oval (from Set) Going back to a more abstract card for this one. Set cards are either purple, green, or red with 1, 2, or 3 shapes featuring either solid, hashed, or empty infills. As such, it doesn't fit nicely into a four suit interpretation.

#cotd Reading: It is easy to overlook a soggy swamp as something that must be cleaned and tidied. Yet these very areas are Mother Earth's own water filters and home to abundant life. Seek out the majesty in life's mess. Notice what's already inside you and nourish it before jumping to consumption.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

Peatlands help filter and clean water, prevent flooding, and provide a home to endagered wild species. They store twice as much carbon as all the forests on earth, despite being 3-4% of the global surface area. Yet construction and agricultural projects can disrupt these lands and their benefits.

6/9/25 #WildDraw of the Day: Peatland Rewetting (from #Daybreak, published by CMYK). In the game Daybreak, you cooperate with other players to try to halt #ClimateChange. This card in particular refers to the practice of restoring natural wetland habitats.

#COTD Reading: The Bearded Reedling has multiple identities, some of which can be deceiving. As such, patiently seek out the sincere heart within a person before judging them. If you can, you may find your relationship lasting and fruitful.

000

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

While you may famously associate monogamous birds with penguins, the bearded reedling also mates for life (some level of infidelity notwithstanding). And mate they do, as even the flavor text of this card points out. They can brood as many as four times a year. Probably why this card produces eggs.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

6/8/2025 #WildDraw of the Day: Bearded Reedling (from #Wingspan). Today we take to the skies with what was originally and now colloquially called the "Bearded Tit." As experienced ornithologists will point out, though, it is not a tit, and its markings more resemble a moustache than a beard.

This is difficult to see while in the middle of the experience, but there is a lot to learn from pain. Know when it is best to tense and pull back from injury, certainly, but also learn when and where to relax into the excruciating and all it has to say.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

#COTD Reading: The Pain Seer finds meaning in the pulses of pain. After all, hurt is meant as a white-hot message to the body: STOP. Yet this wizard goes deeper than the immediate shock to the system, taking in the footnotes and snippets in the margins.

100

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

An uneasy feeling reinforced by the cryptic flavor text: "Every twitching nerve and pulsing vein carries a message, discernible with the right tools." The right tools, I imagine, being those of a wizard who reads the messages told by the squirming and writhing of pain.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

6/7/25 #WildDraw of the Day: Pain Seer (from Magic the Gathering) I admit I don't know the most about #MTG, but Pain Seer certainly feels viscerally ominous as a title.

Magic the Gathering card called The Pain Seer, featuring a wizard conducting some sort of arcane ritual from a scroll.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Reading: We carry with us the spirits of all we have been in the past, healthy and unhealthy. We can recruit the aid of those that still serve us and even support those that don't until they are able to help. And with that help you will be able to seize the advantage against what opposes you.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

Mistakes can be costly. They can bring the ghosts of previous experiences into the present, and they might haunt more than just you. But not all spirits are bad.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

6/6/25 #WildDraw of the Day: Attack of the Dead (from Exploding Kittens: Zombie Kittens) As the card says, playing it allows you to burn bread to summon a toast ghost. This ghost then allows you to force the next player to take three turns for each dead player.

Attack of the Dead card from the game Exploding Kittens - a ghost erupts from a piece of burnt toast exclaiming "I'm Carcinogenic!"

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Reading: What is an abundant 7 upright is a giant L when inverted. An L not for the initial loss, but for the second Loss of yourself when you needed you the most. Do not take the L because I know you can handle the 7. You can still be okay even when you don't feel okay. Just hold on.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

As Robert Frost wrote, "The only way out is through." No emotion is forever. Nothing is. If you do not gently take the hand of your grief, it will grab and bind yours to demand attention.

100

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

My answer: Loss. We have all felt the so-hot-it's-cold of grief, even if not for a person. Loss of opportunity, relationships, or identity can be so overwhelming that it leaves us numb. We would rather turn off than feel, but that doesn't turn off the spigot. It blocks the outlet, building pressure.

Other Worlds' Oracles @otherworldsoracles.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

6/5/25 #WildDraw of the Day: Blue 7 It is tempting to reduce Blue 7 from Uno to the Seven of Cups. The blue motif certainly evokes water and emotion. However, notice that this card is almost the same when reversed. So when would there be both an abundance of emotion and lack thereof?

A card from the game Uno that has a blue background and a white number seven at the center.

This will allow you to give and receive kindness from others and heal social wounds, too. You will have to let down your steel guard and relax the fears that others will be repulsed by your gooey vulnerability. You will learn that people actually love you for it. Then you will beam rainbow radiance.
