I wish you a thoughtful Ash Wednesday, comrades, and remind you that Sacrifice is the Cosmic Currency. Though I serve and seek at the call of Old Gods, I was raised in Catholic Culture. I have long felt that this perspective, that true change comes only through sacrifice, is powerfully illustrated in the story of Jesus. Even the God of Abraham could only twist the arc of fate, the nature of His covenant, with a sacrifice (of Himself to Himself). For this reason I find Lent a good season to meditate on this mantra. I hope you are finding meaning out there as Winter grows old and the new Spring stirs in Her nest. New art coming very soon. . . . #lent #ashwednesday #meditation #contemplation #ritual #occult #magick #mantra #mantracard #sacred #sacrifice #cosmic #card #illustration #digitalart #digitalillustration #stag #knife #eldritch #tree #eldritchtree #phillyartist #queerartist #gayartists #gaywitch #witchcraft #oldgods #oldways (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZ0Vjunh5Z/?igshid=15tstv4cpb5tp
Buy some art, acquire items of power, comb through thin volumes of madness - ‘tis the season. Buying from my Big Cartel shop or even from my Redbubble, Teepublic, and other such places really helps me out. You can find a great gift for the magick-minded person in your life, the queer conjuror in your circle, or something for yourself, all while supporting an independent artist.

The Beatitudes of Unrest: Prayers for Resistance and Revolution. A double-sided art print to invigorate your commitment to the fight. One side features a novel set of beatitudes to focus your mind in fractious times, and the other is an image of Santa Muerte, intercessor for all those who need protection from The Powerful. You can pick this up in my Big Cartel shop, and by doing so not only secure this item of power, but also support a queer artist at the same time (link in bio). . . . #beatitudes #unrest #revolution #resistance #leftism #blm #blacklivesmatter #santamuerte #queer #queerart #queerartist #gayartists #artistoninstagram #print #artprints #skeleton #skull #saint #eldritch #tree #eldritchtree #eldritchtreeprints #philadelphia #phillyartist #prayer #motivation #contemplation #meditation #motivationalquotes (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtpolFnq29/?igshid=10c4f0wpe825b
I clearly have an obsession! Sometimes I get down on myself and my abilities as an artist, but fun challenges like this show me the journey I’ve taken and the journey that lies ahead for me!
