Occult

Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

Not religious, inclusive and free

Our traditions to thee must surely seem to be

Wild and precarious and silly.

😱

However, I take my traditions

very seriously.

They have roots going back millenia

⌛️

Before those who follow the one-god

While the pyramids were still new

A peculiar system began to coalesce

🪐

Observation and testing

Intuiting and reflecting

Imagining what goes above, so below

互

As a child I explored

tarot and tea leaves and palmestry

numerology and phrenology

9

But my favourite was and always will be

this ancient system of understanding

Astrology.

✨

It became a tradition especially at New Year

to check the timings and movements

of planets against the stars
