Review: Popo the Xolo

By Alan U. Dalul | March 22, 2025

Alan U. Dalul reviews a children’s book based on the Indigenous Mexican folklore around death, dying, and the underworld. “Family unity and peace are perhaps the most relevant topics besides the central themes of grief and death, maybe even more on some pages. Lopez delivers a story that celebrates life and reminds us there is always a light at the end.”

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: African American Tarot, by Jamal R, artwork by Thomas Davis, published by Lo Scarabeo.

Card: Eight (8) of Chalices – Tore (the pigmy god of hunting and initiation rites, Congo) and Malcolm X

The next seven days are likely to place the emphasis on assessing what might be missing, particularly for anyone who may feel dissatisfied or unfulfilled. There may be a strong temptation to simply throw in the towel and walk away depending on the circumstances. The key this week will be the ability to correctly assess the situation and then take the appropriate action.

Conversely, the week may offer up vagueness and uncertainty as to what the appropriate decision might be for situations that are or are becoming untenable. Focusing on what is truly desired and heartfelt is perhaps the best way to arrive at a decision. While others can be consulted and more than willing to weigh in with their opinion, ultimately the choice is that of the person who must decide and act.
