Today’s deck is The Sealed Path Tarot.

Its thing is that it has five elements instead of four… which basically translates to a fifth suit of minor arcana, the “orbs”. That’s an approach I’ve never seen before, it’s be cool to rethink it but with like… chinese five elements.

Today’s reading advises that in moments of hesitation it’s good to seek balance.


It’s VA-11 Hall-A’s anniversary! JST at least.

Don’t got much to say that I haven’t said on the two posts I made on the topic. It’s definitely one of those introspective moments, though. 10 years is nothing to scoff at.

Trying to remember things since then is tricky, though. Everything pre-2022 is what I call The Big Blur because every memory feels covered in vaseline to the point where sometimes I don’t know if a place or memory was just a vivid stress dream I had.

I usually say 2021, but the problem is that I mush 2020 and 2021 together a lot, so…

It’s all a very weird feeling that to this day I try to find the words to explain and they still don’t do justice not just to the general feeling but the anguish of feeling like the first 28 years or so of your life were lived by someone else piloting your body except you know it’s still you.

But anyways, I wanted to celebrate so I went to the Volks shop… and then went back out because they had an event and I had other plans so I coulnd’t afford to be held back socializing there today specifically.

I then had lunch at the Nagasaki Champon place I went to with E ages ago and then I hit the bar.

Things at the bar were fun, but I was in that spot where I’m just tired enough where I’m less chatty than usual so I cut things slightly earlier than I wanted. One funny thing was learning that it was slightly less crowded than usual for a Sunday because everyone was watching soccer.

I went to bed right before some other big announcements so I expect things to have blown up by then.
