When You Pull The Death Card

Tarot Contributor Jessica Jernigan talks daily rituals...and why Death can be our friend.

Drawing a single card each day can be an enormously helpful morning ritual. This practice invites you to slow down for a few minutes and check in with yourself before you embark on the day ahead. 

That, all by itself, is powerful. 

You might discover that the card you pull in the morning provides a set of metaphors that give symbolic shape to your day. And if you’re interested in developing a deep relationship with Tarot, this is a wonderful way to get acquainted with the cards. 

While you’re getting to know a card a day, I’ll be introducing you to a card each month - but it's important to keep in mind that the interpretations I offer aren’t intended to be definitive. I’m sharing what I know about Tarot in the hope that you will want to get to know Tarot yourself. And, in any case, my own relationship with Tarot is ever-evolving; if I didn’t keep learning about the cards each time I draw them I would have gotten bored with Tarot by now. The analyses I’ll be offering are simply distillations of what I know about each card right now, along with some questions you might ask yourself when faced with that card yourself.

Sabine & The Red Lotus’ New Single “Infinite Orb” Now Streaming

Sabine & The Red Lotus just released their new single, "Infinite Orb," and it is stunning. I'd like to see it be the theme song of the next Bond movie, please. (If the spectacular creature in these photos looks familiar, that's because it's Francesca.)

Listen below, or stream the single on Apple Music and Spotify.

Links & Love & Stuff

There's still a few days left to enter to win the print of your choice from Thirty9, which offers a selection of fine art photography that you can browse by theme, color, room, and so on. (I'm obsessed with the agave plant print pictured above.)

Speaking of plants: You may have noticed that I changed my palms. RG's home page header now features a piece by Ariane Moshayedi (all her work is gorgeous; you should check it out).

What's better than wine? Wine...with poetry. Verse & Vine's wines are sourced in Paso Robles and Monterey, and come complete with ambience right there on the bottle.

Five Friday Favorites from Olivia

Hey everyone, Ramshackle Glam's Editorial Director, Olivia here, and happy Friday! Jordan is finishing up her week at the digital detox and I figured I would pop in and share some of my favorite stuffs from the week. What are you digging lately? I'm always on the hunt for new podcasts, so leave your current fave in the comments, plz.

Favorite Parent Hack of the Week: Any parent knows what a struggle it is to brush your kids' teeth; I have a pretty easy-going 6 year old and I dread morning and night teeth brushing because it stresses me out  - that was until we discovered Chompers! Chompers is a 4 minute morning and nighttime podcast from Gimlet Media. Each episode features interesting facts or stories, and during the podcast, reminds the kiddo to brush in different areas of the mouth. It's fun, interesting, and gives us something to look forward to during tooth-time. Pro-parenting hack: don't forget that Quip makes brushes for kids, too!

Favorite Podcast Episode of the Week: I'm a huge Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fan, especially her standup acts in the show. I absolutely loved the episode of The Good One with Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino in which they discuss the very intricate way they crafted the standup scenes in the Catskills episodes of Maisel. It's a fascinating look at TV and comedy writing, especially in that niche area of the show. The Good One breaks down comedian's jokes step by step, so if you're a writer or a lover of comedy, it's a must-listen.

In The Afternoon Of The Year

Last year, right around this time, I published this extremely sad post. It's a new year, and a new season, and I'm (very) happy to report that things are looking up - personally, professionally, the whole deal. I'll share about all the hows and whys soon, but in the meantime let's take a moment to enjoy the fact that it's juuuust about sweater weather.

I mean, not in California; it's like 90 degrees here. But maybe for you.
