It’s been an odd year. On one hand I have managed to talk about a lot of things I wanted to discuss on this blog. On the other hand I still feel like someone whose house is far from complete and therefore easily misses the overall design.

The reality is that I’ve come to care a lot for this little project, and as usual when one starts caring, it becomes harder to see the reality of the situation. Perhaps I should just look back at where I was one year ago and be happy with where I am now, even though the blog feels like a permanent construction site (isn’t life like that?) with new parts sprouting up before others are completed.

Unfortunately I feel the strong need to be as thorough as possible while covering as much ground as needed to give a sense of the magnificent totality of the esoteric arts.

So here’s my plans going forward (and, since no good plan ever survives impact with reality, expect changes):

1. Needless to say, I’ll keep posting about the Sibilla and playing cards. I’ve received some questions about learning to link the cards together, so I’ll have to address that.
2. My Geomancy section has exploded, not just in terms of content but in terms of views. I have tons of fun translating old texts and making them available for other students. Plus, it allows me to revise my understanding of the art
3. I want to complete my tarot encyclopedia and move on to more challenging discussions with respect to tarot
4. Someone is probably going to curse me for this, but since I’ve been studying I Ching divination (not the commentaries, but other forms of I Ching) I want to discuss that too. It doesn’t have high priority, but it is on the to-do list
5. I keep getting questions and interesting inputs about magic, mysticism and devotion, so I’ll have to devise something
6. As I’ve mentioned before, I feel the urgent need to talk about philosophy, because occultism without a philosophical framework is just your eccentric aunt who lights incense, drinks tea and pulls an angel card between a rebirthing session and a manifestation retreat
7. My Youtube channel. I keep announcing it and then life keeps getting in the way (as well as my fat ass not wanting to get up and move). I’m taking a small online course on how to record audio and video, and I’ll probably start doing a couple of easy videos in the near future

Well, I’d say I have my hands full for a couple of years
