Flow with the Fire: Neurodivergence, Control, and Letting Go
The Midnight Scholar Society Weekly Newletter
Hey everyone! 🌟
Big news from the Midnight Scholar Society! We've plunged into the mysterious depths of the Minor Arcana, peeling back the layers of the human subconscious. It's fascinating to see that amidst life's complexities, we indeed have a manual, a guide to navigate through it all. Quick note: due to an overwhelming interest in live classes, we're planning to shift our sessions to a Discord server come April or May! 🚀
📚 Book: "Mixing Worth With Pleasure: My Life at Studio Ghibli" ✨
This one's a gem, especially for my neurodivergent artists out there. Ever pondered what it's like to stay true to yourself while collaborating on projects larger than life? Toshio Suzuki masterfully shares the highs and lows of fostering meaningful connections in the creative realm.
🔭 Astrological Musing 🌑
Get ready for some cosmic alchemy! Mars dives into Pisces this Friday, March 22nd. It's the kind of transformative energy that's about creation at its core—envision lava meeting ocean, birthing new lands. But, tread carefully; it's also Aries season. This dual force can craft new islands or engulf them in flames. This time calls for discernment: destroy only what needs to end and create with intention. The universe has its way of honoring the daring and checking the reckless.
A Brief recap from class this week:
The Wands Suit embodies the spiritual dimension, governed by the purifying element of fire. Fire has the dual power to both dismantle and strengthen, depending on what it encounters. The soul, a compelling force of nature, can sometimes feel "out of control." In these moments, drawing upon Pisces wisdom and surrendering to reflection can be invaluable. Embrace the perspective of the Hanged Man: suspend action and immerse yourself in contemplation until clarity is achieved. The journey of the alchemist is to cultivate trust within oneself and with the universe, recognizing that attempting to grasp control against the flow of nature is futile. Nature, like a galloping stallion ushering in a tsunami, will only pull you along the more you try to hold on.
Midnight Scholar Society: Tarot Zine Sneak Peek
Our Tarot Zine is almost ready, weaving together the Major and Minor Arcana in a tapestry of insight and meditation. This project has not only deepened my tarot practice but also sparked the flames for my next work, "Alchemist's Guide To The Universe: For those moving out of survival mode, decolonizing, and navigating burnout." Paid members, keep your eyes peeled for the full Zine coming your way in April, with a public release slated for the end of Spring. Here's a little teaser of what's to come. 🌈🎨
