Poetry in the Marrow: Throwing the Bones by catherine yronwode

Throwing the Bones: How to Foretell the Future with Bones, Shells, and Nuts by catherine yronwode

September 2, 2022 by Tava Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago, as I was cruising around online looking at Lenormand decks (the subject of another review), I saw someone describe themselves in their profile as “bonecaster”. Having spent many years among practitioners of non-mainstream faiths, I had seen the term before, but had pushed it aside. It sounded ghoulish and, quite frankly, intimidating. Like many Americans, I’ve always tried to think about death as little as possible. As I’ve aged, however, Death has come to visit more frequently, and I’ve begun discovering […]

I’m awful at cocktail parties. I don’t handle small talk well. As an introvert who presents as an extrovert, the idea of asking what twenty people do for a living is exhausting.

Which is why for over thirty years, I’m the weird chick who looks up at you as you’re going for seconds on the chilled shrimp and mumbles, “I’ve got a deck of Tarot cards in my pocket. Wanna meet on the […]

Poor Orpheus woke up with a start / all amongst the rotting dead

February 24, 2017 by ingres77 2 Comments

I read this maybe a month ago, and was in the midst of a reading malaise that suppressed not only my interest in what I was reading, but made reviewing almost impossible. I just couldn’t transfer my thoughts into a coherent description of the book. I don’t know. I think I’m still in a reviewing funk, but I’m trying to get them posted before I get too far behind. What Dreams May Come is an epistolary paean to one man’s love for his wife; a wife […]
