Column: Four Years Looking Back

By Alan U. Dalul | August 19, 2022

Looking back, although as a child I loved the stories of the Greek gods, although my mother told me about the Egyptian myths, although in my adolescence I leaned towards the Celts, I found my place among La Llorona, El Silbón, Los Momoyes, Juan Hilario, El Hachador Perdido, María Lionza, La Sayona, and many more.

Columna: “Los años no pasan en vano” – Cuatro años mirando hacia atrás

By Alan U. Dalul | August 19, 2022

Mirando hacia atrás, aunque de niño me encantaban las historias de los dioses griegos, aunque mi madre me hablaba de los mitos egipcios, aunque en mi adolescencia me incliné por los celtas, encontré mi lugar entre La Llorona, El Silbón, Los Momoyes, Juan Hilario, El Hachador Perdido, María Lionza, La Sayona, y muchos más.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Dreamkeepers Tarot, by Liz Huston, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Major Arcana V (5), The Hierophant

The week ahead is likely to have strong spiritual undertones, with a focus on traditions and institutions—particularly as they apply to building resilient community. The resurrection of spiritual practices borne out of cultural heritage is liable to be emphasized, regardless of past levels of engagement. There may also be a call to examine values and redefine the level of commitment expressed.

In contrast, bucking the system and pursuing new pathways, beliefs, or ways of practicing magic and spirituality are liable to beckon. Elements of activism that reflect a desire for the shifting societal norms could also figure prominently. Challenges to established traditional paths and processes are equally likely.
