VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's wise to acknowledge the limits of one's own knowledge. You avoid the moral or intellectual self-righteousness that might narrow thinking and shut down learning. People who stay curious and open tend to be more constructive than people who are rigidly certain.

That is exactly how I wound up hanging out with witches. Radical left turn into ways of thinking/being/knowing that were foreign to me. If I knew everything, I figured, shit would never fall apart, so obviously I need to know a bunch of stuff that I don't already know. Logically. Right? 

Today, I have to pay the price for yesterday. I don't mind doing that, I just don't know what all it will entail. Hanging out with a voodoo priest that Sunshine wants to hang out with is part of it, across the border in my more reliable car, at a bookstore that's really a bar that's really a conjure craft space in disguise, where I can buy candles. Fun fact, 7-day candles are sold out here. Seriously, unless you get lucky with goya, the only kind that you can get are at the dollar store (shit).

I have used every devotional candle that I owned. I've said all I've got to say to Mary right now, and her candle last night was flickering like a motherfucker, which I took to mean she's already "on it" and meeting resistance - i.e. she doesn't need me up her ass. So I'ma going across the border for the first time in honestly I don't know how long, and not going to IKEA (!), which .... well I am in new territory, put it that way. And I have to wear a skirt because on the way back she wants me to change my energy by meeting a salsa instructor 🫩. 

Those are some personally high prices to pay for new candles and some herb plants, just sayin' lol. But a million little things "ain't gonna do theyselves". 

pour booze down the drain / have these stashed from the Italian market in the falls - does that gesture make any sense in a world where I couldn't feed him soup anyway? It only makes sense if you can imagine the world between us, all around us, filled with threads. I snip one and then pull another one through, make a knot. Do that enough times in enough ways, and you have woven something new entirely, eventually.

song tbd 🤷🏻‍♀️
