Aries III: Afterparty
The afterparty is a temporary zone, a place that exists in relation to the party, but that has its own rarefied atmosphere.
Aries II: Prism
The prism captures light and uses it to transform what can be seen. It is a form of practical magic.
Three of Wands
Into an ordinary, monochrome world, the white light is split open and poured into its centre.
Soundtracks to imaginary horror films
Soundtracks to imaginary horror films and pink light on a gloomy morning.
Ten of Cups
Mutable water: striking the set, lunar glamour, screens
You enter the lunar realm and are captivated by the shimmer of the screen.
Objects: A Pisces Workshop
This special event will consider the power of objects, nostalgia, and childhood as the dreamy season comes to a close.
Pisces II: The Inky Void Between Stars
Mutable water: the void, dark energy, wishes
But it is possible to fall too deep into this part of Pisces and to struggle to come back.
Nine of Cups
Mutable water: abundance, birthday cake, desires
If you spend too long anticipating the wish, or hoarding objects that represent past struggles, you might not enjoy the only thing that really matters – the present moment.
Pisces I: The Dollhouse
Mutable water: tiny artefacts, dreamscape, hidden moons
What Pisces offers is a way to change the scale; to create tiny artefacts from cosmic incidents so that we can understand them more deeply.
Seven of Swords
Fixed air: theatricality, new world, subversion
I don’t see this as just the card of deceit, but one of the hysteric and drama queen – visionaries who are rarely taken seriously and who can do some subversive damage as a result.
Aquarius III: Otherworlds
Fixed air: hidden worlds, the maternal, erotic fantasies
Aquarius III is lit by the Moon and wrapped in Venusian silks.
Six of Swords
Fixed air: apples, the ferryman, the farthest shore
The Six of Swords is about the magician, the passer between realms, the holder of liminal spaces, the one who cuts through.
Aquarius II: The Seer
Fixed air: shapeshifting, divination, underworld
They can act as a mirror for the forbidden impulses in all of us; a dangerous and holy place to exist.
Five of Swords
Fixed air: self-determination, excommunication, liberation
The Five of Swords asks us to distinguish between the battle and the war
Aquarius I: Black Sheep
Fixed air: exile, iconoclasm, rebellion
The black sheep remains uniquely itself. It is a symbol of self-determination.
Uncanny Ecology
Fixed air: exile, un-home, paradoxes
To write the ecological uncanny, then, is to spend time in these ‘generic out-houses’, and to lie squat beneath the heavy architecture of habit and belief.
The Necropastoral
Fixed air: occult systems, leaky borders, containers
The necropastoral offers a key to looking at obscured but visible worlds that exist in the interstices of the media, the spectacle, the haunting.
