The Cards of Life (Les Cartes de la Vie)

Come then, and let us pass a leisure hour,

taking in all that lies before us.

Behold! The cards are dealt—

now trust the power of intuition’s hand, not seen, but felt.

Sojourners are we;

drifting through a glimmering hour,

floating through the vastness of eternity.

As seekers and witnesses of wonder,

we sit, tracing the soul’s reflection to the source of All, to find ourselves within it.

And when Thanatos, the inexorable, draws near,

we greet him gently; for we have lost friends on the way, and he, too, is just as dear.

I facilitate discussion groups exploring the intersections of philosophy, literature, and symbolism.

"♔CallUsRex♔" involves reading and interpreting classical and modern thinkers—from Greek tragedy to Nietzsche, Jung, Hesse, and Dostoyevsky—through themes of existentialism, individuation, myth, and Apollonian vs. Dionysian tension.

"Scroll & Quill Society: Becoming ἀρετή" a literature and philosophy based circle dedicated to studying Ancient Greek, German, and French texts in both original languages and translation.

"The Cards of Life (Les Cartes de la Vie)" is a group tracing the intellectual and cultural history of tarot and cartomancy as symbolic systems.
