About Me

King of Cups. Born on Friday the Thirteenth in the Year of the Horse. Seeking the inner teachings of physical joy. Hymns to the Devourer. She of the choice morsel. She of the delirious snake. A few coins for Saturn. A little tomfoolery. A little more to the left. What say you?

My Interests

Lit, music, sculpture, detritus, the cards, the planets, the elements, ant, crow, fox, wine, women, song, the mind, the body, the soul, what color your underwear is, what color it isn't.
