Thoughts. Ramblings. Notes on history. A generous sprinkling of tarot.
Writing is always free to access, but your generous support makes this possible!
Notebooks.
This little blog is just a place to keep track of my historical forays, developing tarot practice, thoughts on the craft of writing and teaching, observations, foraging adventures, book reviews, or general notes for myself and friends on various types of practice and little tidbits that catch my eye. Whether you’re just curious or looking for some ideas for your own practices, I hope readers will find something of value!
Writing as Honest Work
The benefits to approaching writing as a craft and not simply a final, black box of a product can’t be overstated. Not only do students learn how to incorporate feedback, take pride in their work and accomplishments, sharpen their thinking skills, and improve their own writing, but they also come to appreciate the ways that writing is crafted to do things. This makes them more attentive and savvy readers, ones who become more capable of spotting the ways that what they read has been intentionally designed to have effects on them. And that makes them more capable of deciding whether they want to say yes or no to the media they consume.
