El Silbón

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: Midnight Magic: A Tarot Deck of Mushrooms,by Sara Richard, published by Adams Media, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, Inc.

Card: Major Arcana Thirteen (19) – The Sun – Golden Oyster Mushroom

The next seven days are apt provide ample opportunities for all manner of positivity, be it taking time to enjoy fun activities, gather with friends, or just let your inner light shine. There is also likely to be a focus on being authentic and expressing joy wherever and whenever one encounters happy occurrences. Tapping into the energy of the Sun this week can help us all feel revitalized and ready to embrace abundant success.

Conversely, life’s myriad of difficulties can feel overwhelming and leave a person struggling to tap into the enthusiasm previously held to the point of being unsure of what direction to move in. Be mindful of keeping the ego in the backseat rather than the driver’s seat. Otherwise, overconfidence and false optimism can lead down the road to disaster. Overall, even if things are not all sunshine and butterflies, the ability to choose to take whatever positive actions are available will ensure being able to navigate around obstacles and roadblocks.
