Emboldened by the fascist Ky GOP imposing their religious beliefs on women and LGBTQ folks, now magats are harassing businesses of people who follow different spiritual paths.
This was never going to end with abortion and trans people - you know that, right?
They intend to eliminate anyone and everyone who will not bow to their disgusting cult. Today it's crystals and nature religions. Tomorrow it's Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Sufis, and Judaism.
These nutjobs don't care about constitutional rights and are fine with using police state violence to enforce their cult's backward and barbaric beliefs. And if that doesn't work, they're fine with murder, arson, and assault.

S'il y a des trucs que vous voulez savoir sur le contenu du tarot avant de vous précipiter dessus comme des fifous jeudi prochain, posez vos questions sous ce post 😁
I'm starting to get a hold of ASM programming for the Game Boy. I can now display all 78 card designs (and 2 back designs) on a single Game Boy ROM! I think the next step is to work on the deck shuffle functionality.
I know the Fediverse has some #tarot readers, so #tarotreaders of the Fediverse, I have a question for you!
When you're planning on doing a tarot reading (whether it's for yourself or a client), what are some things you need to have or do first?
Speaking for myself, I've settled into a routine of making myself some tea and lighting a candle before I do anything. I'm not sure what about this particular combination gets me into the right mindset for a reading, but it does.
When I tell you all that I have been in love with the Egyptian Art Nouveau Tarot for almost a year now, I need you all to know this is not an exaggeration. This particular #tarot deck was included in a witchy subscription box almost a year ago, something I only learned when I watched an unboxing of this particular thing on YouTube, and I fell in love with the art immediately.
It never felt like quite the right time to own the deck, though, so I kept putting it off.
But then I realized if I kept waiting for the "right" time, I was likely never going to do it, and since I was still in love with the deck all these months later, I decided I could let myself have something new as a treat.
Got back a little commission I treated myself to, a follow up to my Curse of Strahd group portrait, I decided that my favorite Darklord-catfishing conartist needed their own little treatment because they were just too fun to play.
After dinner with Strahd, they were gifted a skeletal horse to replace a regular packhorse that had been the only casualty when his thralls attacked us afterwards.
It put me in mind of a fun twist on the old Rider-Waite tarot's "Death" card:

Comparing different versions of tarot cards is one of my favourite things to do. Here are a couple of versions of the Hanged Man, from the Orien’s Animal Tarot and the Modern Witch Tarot.
The bird tangled in red threads in the first card here is, strangely, distressing in a way that I don’t generally find with suspended humans. Perhaps it’s the number of threads, or the way that if the bird struggles, it will become more entangled and the thin lengths will cut into it. The potential for further damage feels very central to this version of the card - and yet, the bird is calm and immobile. Small birds rarely feel serene, and yet, this card suggests that we can find this kind of peace even if we think of ourselves as highly strung. It’s the juxtaposition between expectation and expression that holds tension in this Hanged Man.
In contrast, the Modern Witch tarot causes no such worry. This suspended person is dressed in comfy clothes and sneakers, clearly able to stay in this position for quite a while, by choice. The expression, though, feels less serene than determined, like someone who is going to meditate and be calm, darnit. There’s a sense of seeking here, of using discomfort and discombobulation to find wisdom.
The two versions together bring a reminder that the insight of the Hanged Man isn’t easily achieved. That it can take working against instinct or embracing discomfort to let the unexpected through. It requires patience and trust that being out of step with the world will bring gifts even as it may ache.
