I haven't done one of these in quite a while, there's other things about the world that just seem more pressing right now. But it was good to sit down with the cards again, and as always, some of the insights left me with a "where did this come from" feeling... enjoy -- and take heed. There's a message here for someone.

The Wendigo

 

The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. It is said to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger, the desire to eat other humans, and the propensity to commit murder. In some representations, the wendigo is described as a giant humanoid with a heart of ice, whose approach is signaled by a foul stench or sudden unseasonable chill.

Just when you think you've reached a major milestone and destination in life, you realize that the journey is far from over...

It's all about the pagan path and discovering your place upon it.

Urban Legend or Unsolved Mystery ~ The Bell Witch

 

Urban legend, or unsolved mystery -- What really happened to John Bell? Who doesn't love a good ghost story, and when the ghost in question is also a witch, it just keeps getting better. I was first introduced to this urban legend/unsolved mystery with the iconic movie starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek as John Bell and his wife Lucy. Enjoy the video and come to your own conclusions; I know I have a couple conspiracy theories about The Bell Witch rolling around in my magickal mind.

Psychology ~ The Dark Triads

 

So, we have Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy, each one an individual snag in the mental makeup of successful happy human beings. But when you put all three of these aspects together under one roof, so to speak, it makes for a daunting mental landscape.

You gotta' make wiser choices

 

Welcome to The Mystic Crone podcast, and yes, as the title says, you need to put more careful thought into it...

The Axman of New Orleans

 

This unsolved mystery and Louisiana legend was depicted in American Horror Story, The Coven, as the warped psycho killer who was both charming and dangerous, musically talented and demented. But there is So Much More to his story and this unsolved mystery. Dive into this video with me and let's get all the facts.

Obstacles & Deception ~ Do we sabatoge ourselves?

 

This is a relaxed reading from my large front porch on a hot summer day. So, what about those obstacles that we come across, were they placed there from a source outside ourselves, something we have no control over? Or did we put those obstacles there ourselves? And deception -- is it self-deception, or is someone lying to us? There's lots to ponder here.

Urban Legends ~ The Bandage Man

 

We're going to visit Cannon Beach, Oregon, where we'll hear the urban legend about "The Bandage Man". Along the way, we'll learn a little bit about this northwest pacific coast area, a bit of its history, and how this legend began.

Why are you still with him?

 

The deck I'm using today:  Steampunk Tarot, which was a gift from my significant other.  This is an in-depth (sort of) reading for me, and it might be a reading for you too, maybe.  Here is where I give a trigger warning because I've had several cups of iced coffee as I stay huddled in my darkened house embracing the AC against triple digit summer temps.  The experience has made me kind of mouthy, irreverent, and brazenly honest.

7/cups...

Well, this card is speaking the truth to me.  Not only did I have a lot of difficult decisions to face in life, I still have this burden, but in a slightly different way.  It seems that this phase of life, where I am now, where I'm living, how I'm living, there's so much that needs to be done, thought of, considered, acted upon.  It is relentless.  And I always thought that once we get older, this faction of life would at least let up if not disappear entirely.  Nope, I was wrong.  There's almost (almost) as much to keep track of and carry out today as there was when I was a young mother with a house full of home-schooled children.

King/pentacles (reversed)...

Oh, shit.  This is generally the card of a stable individual, usually in my readings this is a man, and this man is usually depicted as stable (did I already say that) and dependable, offering emotional and physical soundness and reassurance.  It's like the upright King of pentacles is usually your rock, so you can go about life in all its chaos and hyperbole knowing that your world is tight and secure.  Well, shit.  This card has come up reversed.  But this card is an accurate mirror for my life now.

There is nothing stable about a highly supersensitive, nervous, paranoid, quick-tempered individual, prone to telling untruths (that sounds so much better than calling it lies), and constantly on the lookout for more targets to add to the proverbial real-life or internet harem.  There just cannot be stability and reassurance with someone like this.  But there is also two sides to the coin, so don't judge me yet, which women tend to do... "Why are you still with him?"  It's always more compicated than outsiders can imagine, or more complicated than they are willing to accept.

Our age probably has something to do with why we're still together.  His dubious choices and behaviors come and go, are up and down, and when things are going smoothly, life is pretty good.  If it would just always stay on this level, that would be great.  But another reason has to do with the fact that we are two old fucks literally falling apart physically.  Getting old, always toted as a "privelege that many are denied", is also a giant pain in the ass.  

The only thing worse than going through the human aging process would be to go through the human aging process alone.  That would suck.  The way it is, hey, if he can't bend over to pick something up one day, that might be my strong day; and if I'm too fuzzy brained to drive to a doctor's appointment or Walmart, that's his day. It works, a strange Old Fucks give and take.  You wind up looking out for each other even if you never intended to, that's just how it works out.

Ponder on that.

Two/pentacles (reversed)...

Life is a balancing act.  Too many of us go through life riding the fence, balanced precariously on shaky tip-toes, like a high wire walker with arms outstretched, foolishly thinking that we could catch ourselves if we fall.  We couldn't.  If we fall, we're dead, or at least out of the game.  And what a god-awful bunch of our life is spent with our heads down, deep in concentration, determined to maintain our equilibrium.  Think of all the opportunities and wonderous things we miss perched determinedly in this wretched stance.

Pick a side, my grandma would say.

Queen/swords...

The quiet people-pleasing Libra me, the one that hates confrontation and unpleasant scenes, is being told by this card that it's okay to be a bitch, and the sooner I learn that and get over this irritating Libra fawning nature, trying to be liked by everyone (including assholes that don't deserve to be liked), the better off I'll be.  This has always been a disgusting feature wrapped around my little feather brain, whether I had to reach out the extra mile to a pissy stranger in a godamn checkout line, or some bitch trying to convince me she's my soul sister and my life-long friend and protector (not only did she not have my back, she was standing behind me holding the bloody knife after she stabbed me, successfully alienating me from mutual friends).  

Ya, that might sound a little bitter, but it's better to spit that bitter shit out than swallow it.  And that's what this Queen is telling me.

Tarot books I've written, because, why not.  The last one is the *book I would recommend for beginners, or for anyone really.  It's my favorite, and the one I feel connected with a lot of rampant feral energy that was around me at the time.  It's very transparent in a startling naked kind of way, and it doesn't care about the opinions of others... a good thing sometimes.

Skinwalker Ranch ~ curses, aliens, skinwalkers, cryptids & crop circles

 

It was fascinating researching this plot of land in Utah that has become nortorious for the paranormal/supernatural activity experienced there. What happened to the Sherman family? Are the cattle mutilations connected to UFO activity? What is perpetrating the poltergiest activity inside the house? Why is this ranch off limits to the general public?

Spiritualism, the Fox Sisters, & the Feminist

 

Today our internet and talk-shows are full of mediums ready and willing to connect you with a dead loved one. How did Spiritualism, this movement, get started? Who are the Fox Sisters? How did Spiritualism inspire and promote feminism?

Spirits n' Stuff

 

I'm delighted to announce that I have launched a new YouTube channel:

Spirits n' Stuff

The following videos are just the beginning.  I have several projects planned for this channel, which is going to focus on spiritualism, urban legends, the paranormal and supernatural, cryptids, myths and legends, and the unknown.

Enjoy the following five videos, and you might want to leave the lights on. 

NOTE:  to some of my regular readers here, though I've touched on some of these topics on my other youtube channel, the material here is fresh and brand spankin' new.  Sometimes you'll find that there are some topics you can chat about more than once and learn something new, viewing it from a different perspective.  Enjoy!

Bloody Mary

You've seen it in movies a million times. There's a group of teen-age girls at a slumber party all standing in a darkened bathroom ahead of a mirror. They egg one girl on... "Do it! Go ahead, do it!" She faces the mirror, and in a frightened trembly voice says, "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary..." And then mayhem follows. Who is Bloody Mary? 

History and legend gives us three possiblities: Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, and Elizabeth Bathory. Who are these women, and what might give them claim to Bloody Mary fame?

Shadow People

You've seen them, that quick flicker of movement from a dark figure lurking in your peripheral vision. When you notice them, they move faster, scurrying to remain hidden. What are they? Where do they come from? Are they real? What did I see?

Black-eyed Children (BEKS)

They're just kids asking for help, you think, until you see their eyes, and you are consumed with a sense of overwhelming dread.

The Ouija Board

So, how do you feel about ouija boards? Are you afraid of them? Do you love them? Do you use them? Do you think they're evil, or do you find them an interesting and useful divination tool to use for spirit contact? What's your take on the Ouija Board?

Soul Walk-ins

Can "other" souls inhabit a recently deceased body? Can a soul "move into" a body that is already inhabited by the original soul? Could the phenomenon of "walk-ins" explain Multiple Personality Disorder?
