Grandpa Freud . . . so many strange ideas. Captured the imagination of our out of control, western world.
The conscious, preconscious and the unconscious. Where do these all go as I write? Where do these all go when I sleep or when I can’t sleep, because my tooth feels like someone is smashing it with [...]

Meditations on the Tarot
Brother Void
What comes to your mind when you think of Tarot?
How do the cards themselves make you feel?
Have you ever held a deck? Do you own one?

Who created this deck and its symbols?
When you look at the symbols on each [...]
