More local Halloween flair. I’ve heard of shallow graves before, but... #halloween #allhallowseve #halloweendecor #skeleton #undead #livingdead #marvista #losangeles (at Mar Vista, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uUAm5nchY/?igshid=1jase4mspyhis

Somebody in my ‘hood took the time to lug all this haunted pirates stuff up to their roof. I not only love Halloween, but I love how much it inspires people! #halloween #halloweendecorations #pirateship #haunted #ghosts #skeletons #undead #marvista #losangeles (at Mar Vista, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B27q6HxnQJE/?igshid=1r92syxuf96tg

Some bitchin’ #streetart in Venice. LA is freaking festooned with cool bits of art all over the place! This is what a crayfish would look like if it was 30 feet long and multicolored and walking around on dry land. Because you’ve probably been wondering... #crayfish #crawfish #graffiti #losangeles #venice #venicebeach #westla #creativity #animalspirit #metaphysical (at Abbot Kinney Boulevard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hmQXDnZdo/?igshid=1stvs776ux83c

At least a month ago this giant stalk of one of the cactuses in the front yard here broke free and collapsed onto the ground for no apparent reason. The guy who does the occasional gardening here has for some reason continued to not pick it up and dispose of it. I was going to do it myself the other day, when I noticed that even though the stalk fell over because it was presumably dead, a close inspection reveals that new cacti are somehow pushing straight up out of it now, sideways to the direction of its original growth. Life happens! 🌵🌞 #cactus #nature #lifeforce #life #bravery #metaphysical #plantspirit #shamanism https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eMzpQnhO2/?igshid=miysl3cb4hai

Yesterday, I got to rekindle my casual but mighty love for archery. I went to this new-to-me park here on the west side with my pal @freeimari to put some arrows into some bullseyes, and it was as fun and as oddly zen as ever. I can’t recommend this practice enough! #archery #bowandarrows #losangeles #meditation #mindfulness #gratitude (at Rancho Park Archery Range) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1VV8_RHP2_/?igshid=voewtkad6n4o

Remember how I posted a photo here not too long ago of a front lawn in my ‘hood that featured Christmas decorations in July...? Here’s a shot of a similarly season-challenged neighbor: Halloween gear in August! What do you think: two months early, or ten months late? #halloweeninaugust #lawndecorations #abrokenclockisrighttwiceaday #losangeles #marvista #halloween https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PBx56HsLB/?igshid=k2bqwdht14ka

How cute is this little character?! I found this tiny visitor clinging to the side of my building yesterday, small enough to have fit completely on my palm (tail included). Unexpected animal encounters almost always cheer me up... #lizard #wildlife #nature #losangeles #marvista #symbolism #metaphysical (at Mar Vista, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CGArwHex5/?igshid=1ee0echpbbstk

July, 2019 - Los Angeles. This is clearly the work of someone passionately devoted to the idea that even a broken clock is right twice a day... #lawnmaintenance #christmasinjuly #summertimesanta #losangeles #marvista #humansbecrazy #evenabrokenclockisrighttwiceaday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eNjlrnlh4/?igshid=17jaff64zr0gm

I have this big faux “diamond” that I got at an event last fall. It’s almost the size of my fist. I didn’t know what to do with it, so I set it down on one of the windowsills in my living room, figuring I would come up with a more permanent home for it later. You know: “later”... Now several months have passed, and it’s still there, because apparently we haven’t reached true “later” just yet. But there’s an unexpected side-benefit to my procrastination: every morning after the sun comes up, it beams its rays down at the faux diamond, which then scatters them all over my office walls in the form of little rainbows. This makes for a pretty agreeable start to each day! I thought I would share one of them with you here. Happy Saturday, everyone! #rainbow #prism #serendipity #synchronicity #metaphysical #positivity #joy (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv65uw1HxUT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7c606x28olw2

Joshua Tree. If you live in Southern California, you have no real reason for not visiting this place. It’s one of those locations that feels like it exists outside of the time-stream, or like it maybe pokes into other dimensions. As an LA resident, I average maybe one visit a year. I might increase that... #joshuatree #nature #outdoors #nofilter #alien #alteredstates #southerncalifornia #metaphysical (at Joshua Tree, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo6fg-HdPR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mospknvr5tb8

Apparently there’s a pot of gold buried behind the building across the street... #rainbow #nature #skyporn #leprechaun #metaphysical (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuIGpgvnBCs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nqx68d95a2sf

The cards I’d just pulled added up to 11. Then I flipped over the big stack of unused cards, and staring back at me was...card #11, shown here. Some decks call this card “Justice” (or “Adjustment,” if you do things the Crowley way...). In this deck, it’s called...”Punishment.” #ominous also: #tarot #aleistercrowley #punishment #bdsm #atonement #balance #metaphysical #occult #shamantarot (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtaBekaHxpu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19tlq7f5p406b

I think I’d like everything I drink to come bearing positive messages... #coffee #caffeine #positivity #highvibe #highfrequency #5d #cafegratitude (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BraqMRHHN8b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=192cifqdltaoj

“Ceromancy” is what it’s called when you perform divination by pouring melted candle wax into water, and then “reading” the resulting water-bubbles or wax shapes. This - the thing shown here in this picture - is not that. This is the unplanned, accidental aftermath of me being unusually clumsy with a very melted candle on top of a wooden dresser. I don’t know what it would be called if you used this for divination....but that wax splattering is pretty interesting to look at, though, huh?!

The 3 of Cups is usually about positive social energy. It’s the joys of fellowship, solidarity, good friendship-style cheer... In this particular version, I always assumed that the three women are raising their Cups in excitement, because the giant chick is hatching. “New life blooms - yay!” Weird, then, to have learned on a Tarot bulletin board I used to frequent that many people take this image to mean that the three women are about to use their oversized goblets to beat that giant hatchling into paste... #subjective #perception #interpretation #tarot #divination #psychology #spirituality #wheeloftheyear #pagan https://www.instagram.com/p/BqcS0W0nTRX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b863jqttu7y
