I'm going to be doing a book discussion series on Sun Tzu's The Art of War starting the 16th of March on this blog. I plan on using the book as fodder for various meditations on everything from personal improvement to world events.
First, I am looking forward to your Art of War series!
Also, a divination question if you don't mind.
At the moment I am deciding whether to switch divination systems. Currently, I am using Handl Tarot cards and have been for a number of years. They work fine but I am itching to go back to Runes which I tried a few times or try out Ogham, or Coelbren. Did you work with Runes or Coelbren before Ogham? If so, how did it go?
Kind of thinking out loud here along with my question.
The few times I worked with Runes I was surprised how much I communicated with them. There was a nearly instant personal connection. For some reason the session felt much more personal than the cards. Even though the physical imagery is quite a bit less on the Runes compared to the cards. I am now wondering if I might find a similar connection with Ogham or Coelbren.
I just got a second grant from the SBA for my business. It went very smoothly for me. I filled my application and did any other communication during the hour of Jupiter.
TSW!
Anyway, I don’t know if your business qualifies, but if it does go for it!

Oh yeah, The Art of War sounds interesting. I just could not keep up with JMG’s book club around Dion Fortune. I just could not stay focused!
An update on what I'm seeing with COVID vaccines. My sister has had TWO different nurses tell her they are not getting the vaccine because of fertility concerns and recommend that she not get it either. I personally know another nurse who won't get it. All doctors I know are encouraging everyone to be vaccinated and are themselves getting it. My African American coworkers are avoiding the vaccine, but my white coworkers are scrambling for it. I also seem to have a ton of acquaintances in their 30s and 40s--not working in healthcare or education--somehow jumping the line and getting shots.
If there are eventually fertility effects or other health issues, it will be fascinating to see how this shakes out demographically. It's like a big experiment with race and class.
At a certain point hyperinflation could cause a severe famine among the working classes, even including the PMC.
When will we begin to see think pieces from former fat activists that body positivity *is* white supremacy, and that being overweight in a world where oppressed people in Africa and Latin America are starving is privilege that must be checked?
I anticipate that this will be used to quell calls for food from a population that is largely overfed to begin with.
Given the Covid thing is a monstrous overreaction to something minor, I'm rather concerned about the possibility of a perverse microcosm mirroring the macrocosm thing: an overreaction causing horrific harms to society sounds like a macrocosmic example of ADE (antibody dependent enhancement); which is a known risk with Coronavirus vaccines. I can't help but wonder how many people who get the vaccine are going to be killed by something like the cold in the near future.....
People are making a lot of hay right now about how Biden is visibly falling apart. They cut him off from answering questions after bumbling around saying he'll answer questions or whatever.
"I'll do whatever you want me to do, Nance."
What people don't seem to remember is that all these "live" feeds have a lead. If the party wanted him to look competent or capable they would not let these things slip. We would not see these things if they didn't want us to see them.
They want us to see them so that we will be okay with them removing him from office. Or stealing the nuke codes from the executive. Or whatever else.
