So, it feels a little like caving, because everyone and their brother does these, but wth. What is a blog for, if not a little self-indulgence? Ergo- here are some good things I have read lately. You should read them too. The ever-inspiring Jay Johnson writes about what, exactly, it means that Jesus' last act … Continue reading Here, Read These Things

Six of Staves
The Six. Has taken. For-bloody-ever. Seriously. The six is a card of public triumph, generally showing someone on horseback with a laurel wreath and a cheering crowd. I nixed horseback, much to Stephanie's dismay, and we tried for a cheering throng, but no one showed (note to self- invite people personally instead of with a … Continue reading Six of Staves

Sometimes It’s Sad To Be A Fan
My name is Nancy, and I am a fan. Being a fan can mean many things- you can be a fan of an idea, or an action. You can be a fan of a person, or an event, or a sports team, or a band, or whatever. Everyone is a fan of lots of things, … Continue reading Sometimes It’s Sad To Be A Fan

Five of Staves
The Five of Staves is perhaps my favorite of the staves so far, and maybe even of the whole deck. The Five of Staves is traditionally five persons with sticks engaged in combat; it depends on the depiction whether this combat is perceived as friendly practice, a striving competition, or a pitched battle. To both … Continue reading Five of Staves

Four of Staves
The Four of Staves was... complicated. It was one of the few cards we've tried, and then had to try again. The idea was simple enough; the four of wands is generally interpreted as a card of domestic beginnings, and I immediately jumped to the idea of depicting Stephanie under a chuppah, waiting. And then … Continue reading Four of Staves
