Laura Perry<p>This week's Minoan Tarot cards:</p><p>Seven of Horns: It's time to be practical and prudent with your material life, including your finances. Acting wisely now will secure your future.</p><p>Sacrifice: The concept of sacrifice means giving something up in order to get something else. You must first empty out your hand before you can pick up something new. Letting go will allow positive change to take place.<br>.<br>This deck is my creation, my art.

Jamez Barrett 🜃 ॐ Ⓐ<p>Sans toit ni loi / Vagabond (1985)</p><p>Vagabond (French: Sans toit ni loi, "without roof or law") is a 1985 French drama film directed by Agnès Varda, featuring Sandrine Bonnaire. It tells through flashbacks the story of a vagabond who wanders through the Languedoc-Roussillon wine country one winter, beginning after her body is found. The film premiered at the 42nd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion. Vagabond was nominated for four César Awards, with Bonnaire winning Best Actress. The film was the 36th highest-grossing film of the year with a total of 1,080,143 admissions in France.</p><p><a href="https://soulvlog.blogspot.com/2025/04/sans-toit-ni-loi-vagabond-1985.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">soulvlog.blogspot.com/2025/04/</span><span class="invisible">sans-toit-ni-loi-vagabond-1985.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Anarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Anarchy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Travellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travellers</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cin%C3%A9maV%C3%A9rit%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CinémaVérité</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a></p>
chase<p>Just occurred to me that there are definitely pagans on Mastodon and there's no way there aren't. I'm looking into it, reading books and stuff and seeing what speaks to me atm. I've been entirely areligious and basically atheist my whole life, but I've been getting really interested in spirituality and paganism. I even had a significant dream about it... I think it may be the time in my life for me to figure out my beliefs. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paganism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/spirituality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spirituality</span></a></p>

FiadhMy coven gathers outdoors with the full moon. There's something about practicing witchcraft in the open air that can't be beat. So despite the cold, we went into the woods, near a lake and practiced our scrying. Have you ever tried scrying, or are you interested in how to do it? Read on...<br> <br> Scrying is a form of divination in which the practitioner uses a medium to see images. It has been practiced across time, by peoples from all over the world. <br> What is the nature of the things you see? There's no definitive answer to that. Some will say you see things from past/present/future, others will say that it gives you a glimpse into your subconscious, some see it as a way to commune with deities.<br> <br> How to do it?<br> There's many different methods and techniques, so what works for me might not work for you. We started with a meditation to open up. It helps to still your mind and to consciously go into an altered state where you are receptive to signs and signals. <br> <br> We worked with a moonlit lake and the starry sky.<br> Fix your gaze on one point, and relax. Let thoughts slip from your mind and gaze at one spot. Things may start to appear in your peripheral vision, but you shouldn't try to look at them directly (because usually they will disappear as soon as you try to chase them).<br> Try not to immediately interpret what you see, but keep your mind quiet. Interpretation comes later.<br> It might take some experimentation and practice, like many things it becomes easier as you do it more often.<br> <br> After you finish scrying, you don't want to leave yourself this open. So cleanse, close and protect yourself.
