The Hierophant
Ruled by Taurus, the Hierophant in tarot is historically depicted as a religious man, who claims to have the gift to decipher the word of God into language for everyday man. The literal translation in its native Greek is ‘he who proclaims what is sacred.’ This may have all been well and good at a […]

“I’m not a baby now,” she says as she begins to undress herself. First the sweater. Then the plaid skirt held together by a mere button. “I’m not as sweet as you think.” “Rock and roll” was his reply, as he undid the button on his pants, slid the zipper down, and leaned back in […]

Walking on Air
The winds howled and and the waves crashed onto the boat as they rowed, steadfast in their attempt to make it across the Sea of Galilee. They battled against the lake, their exhaustion building. It wasn’t until fourth watch and about three and a half miles in when he came to them, walking on water. […]

Ballerina Come Back
I was fifteen years old when I stopped dancing. I was sixteen years old when I took myself off the stage completely. There were a variety of reasons for this, which I won’t get into for the sake of this post. I started taking pole dance classes last year on a whim. I wanted to […]

I was so disappointed in myself. Not because I was struggling to get the move down, but because I neglected to press record for my end of class dance at the studio. I am grateful that I have a pole at home, so I was able to get what I needed on video. I use […]

Going Down
We crawl before we can walk. We climb before we can descend. We try very hard not to fall on our heads when we are inverted on the pole. It’s only happened once so far, and luckily I was low enough to the ground so it wasn’t too bad of a drop. It sounded terrible […]
