Hello!
Comminglings will be a place of many comings-together. At present, I’ll likely be posting three kinds of things: posts in which I use the tarot to prompt questions and reflections; posts in which I share excerpts from writings-in-progress; and articles I have written and published elsewhere.
My impulse get on this substack-thingy here was to give myself a much-needed nudge towards getting a regular writing practice going, and have somewhere to collect together writings I’ve had published elsewhere. I have no idea where the tarot-guided prompts will necessarily go (though they’ll allow me to work with some less traditional decks that I use less in my professional card reading). The current in-progress writing project I’ll be sharing excerpts from is on significant otherness and multispecies relationshipping.
My goal is to get to once-a-week postings, but as this is just as much about developing a practice for me as it is about sharing things with you, I’ll be pleased if posting once-every-other-week or so (I dunno, monthly??) happens.
If nothing else, I hope my Comminglings invite you to your own comminglings.
Cheers and very warmly,
Yvan
