Drives me crazy how any time someone criticizes the church or talks about how it abused them, “progressive” christians start telling you the REAL Jesus was a kind and loving woke socialist who would have loved gay people and hated billionaires like shut up shut up SHUT UP!!!!! I didn’t ask!! I don’t care!! Stop fucking evangelizing!!!
All power to you if you can decouple christian teachings from their legacy of abuse and use them to better yourself. But the fact you feel the need to proselytize to *me* - a secular ex-catholic faggot - and insist, without me asking, that “Jesus loves you,” makes me think that no, actually, nothing about how you’re navigating this is different at all from the conservatives. You aren’t mad at mainstream christians for trying to create a theocracy, you’re mad that their sales pitch alienates potential converts.
Get Ready for The Return of the NORMAL TAROT (backerkit.com)
We are returning with not just a new edition of the Normal Tarot, though there is that, too. And it's gorgeous. Truly.
But we're also reprinting all three of the previous versions of the deck. The original, the silver, the gold. All of it.
And the updated guidebook? Will include an illustration for each edition in its entries, making it compatible across all four decks. So come join us in getting excited.
“When the earth blossoms with all manner of fragrant spring flowers, then from beneath the murky gloom shall you come again, a mighty marvel to gods and to mortal men.”

A companion piece to the illustration of Hekate and Demeter I did a couple of months back.
