Human Nature

Bloom where you are planted.

I posted this in response to a friend’s locked LiveJournal post. I’d like to share it here, intact, as a snapshot of my views, which perhaps I will expound upon. But you’ve probably heard it here before, in any case. I see a lot of evidence of what I’ve come to believe is the most Continue reading →

Sheta’s Original Tarot Spreads

It's magic!

Last week, when Laramie was here, I was giving him lessons in tarot and I wrote a couple of new spreads I thought I’d share with you, along with my gold standard, the “Extended Celtic Cross,” which developed many years ago out of my need to do more than the old standby (which I actually Continue reading →

Rethink Required

I think I need a hug.

I have come to the reluctant conclusion that concerts are bad for me. I’ve been to three in the last two years, and they always leave me feeling depressed and emotionally volatile, as if they’ve exposed some secret emptiness that I wasn’t aware of til after the show… which then becomes this gaping maw that Continue reading →

New Office!

Oh yeah, Happy Valentine's Day! I hope yours was splendid.

Well, the new office is almost finished. It looks amazing! So much better than before. I still have to hang the drapes, clean the outsides of the windows (and scrape the paint off the door windows), and move in my office supplies, computer (which is now in here and I am sitting at my new Continue reading →

Converting a New Office

If only I could get a piper to lead all this clutter away...

I’ve had this room, since moving into this converted-garage apartment, that’s just inside the front door. It was originally conceived as a dining area, but it turned into a clutter magnet. The built-in benches were built on top of the foundation rather than putting tile down first (it had to be done that way at Continue reading →

Retrospective Moments != Me

You complete me.

When I was in my mid-teens, I lived in Orlando, Florida. We moved there when I was 14 and I lived there for two very troubled years. My time there began amongst my peers with a third-degree interview (“Do you turn on?” was a key question.) and a fight of 8 against 1 (me) that Continue reading →

Pain = Bliss. Poetry.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

Sometimes. I just had some of that. I wrote this sort of poem, like I used to do back in the day when I processed that way (25 years ago!). It’s not very polished. I could fall into forever Endless turns and flips of lazy stretching for the updraft buoyed by the fire in my Continue reading →

For My Records, Tarot Reading

Unless, of course, you are crazy interested in me.

I asked the Osho Zen Tarot generator: “What direction should I go in to get things running smoothly in my life and to a lucrative result?” Normally, I choose the entire deck but I accidentally clicked “Major Arcana only” and didn’t realize it til I was reading the third card. But I decided to let Continue reading →

Just For the Record

I'm about as exposed as I can get. No, not in this picture.

I have been “Sheta Kaey” in some form since 1993. I began my online life in 1998 with the online nickname “Shetakaey.” It was shortened to “Sheta” by a friend in 1999, and “Kaey” became a last name. It took a few more years before I used it exclusively as two words. This is not Continue reading →

Promise Shines

Bloom wherever you are planted.

This new year does indeed feel like promise, like new beginnings and, well, like blooming. The energies I feel around me (and I hope you feel around you!) feel like the crest of a great wave carrying me somewhere wonderful. I had my doubts around New Year’s Eve, but it’s still happening and I find Continue reading →

I Am Psychologically Disturbed

Just a little freaky, is all.

Quote by Jude Law as “Doctor Watson” in 2010′s Sherlock Holmes, and which I use on a page I’m working on. One of the clutter items I’m drowning in is notebooks. Spiral bound, ledger, datebooks, diaries, 3-ring binders of various sizes, and so on. I have stacks of notebooks, either blank, full, or with various Continue reading →

I Can Feel It

There's some serious healing going on.

I just reserved our room for the House Kheperu Open House. I reserved for four nights — Thursday-Sunday nights with checkout on Monday. The convention is Friday (6-7 p.m) through Sunday (3-4 p.m.). My plan is to drive up, arriving earlier in the week and taking my time driving through Ohio so I can visit Continue reading →
