    I had considered the space weather when I planned out this endeavor last month. Too many retrogrades and shadow periods. Too many afflicted planets. Too many irritating aspects with my natal chart. Too many reasons not to do it now. One reason why it is imperative that I do: If I don’t do it now,…

    Three years ago, I worked through Rufus Opus‘s Seven Spheres as prescribed in his book to the best of my ability. I was able to meet the minimum requirements easily and even was able to incorporate a few of the “optional” tasks and enjoinders. All was well until I summoned Anael, the Angel of Venus.…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 11 – Disposition

    Jeanette had threatened to leave Melissa navigating back to her apartment on her own and had left the lot before Melissa could finish adjusting the mirrors and seat position. And yet, it was all of three intersections later that Melissa spied Jeanette’s car a tasteful distance behind hers as she made her way through streets…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 10 – Indignus

    Melissa walked for what felt like ages on the soft black sand. The stars impossibly moved through the cloudless sky as if to entertain her, but she never looked up to notice them. The sand felt pleasant on her bare feet and while she kept watch for an ocean wave to threaten the bottom of…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 9 – Equilibrium

    Melissa walked into the unguarded conference room without knocking as her assignment instructions dictated.

Leifert, that is, in case you’ve met any of the…

    By the time the diner had begun to fill with the regular evening crowd, Jean had left her side of the booth to sit beside her sister. Melissa had also brought her tablet with her and had logged in to the Leifert Enterprises Human Resources website to show Jean what medical benefits she was signed…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 7 – Excavations

    Melissa sat precariously on a plastic chair sized for bodies far smaller than hers and her back filed a constant complaint about the stresses annoying her. But when one is invited to a child’s tea party, one takes the pain so the child can take the joy. Across from the fruit themed plastic tablecloth, a…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 6 – Echoes

    Melissa’s hands were stuck to the side of the bin in the Mail Room. No amount of jerking or twisting would peel her flesh from the timeworn and cracked edges now digging into her palm. Across from her, Janice continued her assessment of the uselessness of Melissa’s presence during the years spent in high school…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 5 – Legacy

    Halfway through the morning, Melissa’s scheduling app announced with a bright chirp that she had been called in to work. Her paid internship with Leifert Enterprises was only part time but it came with full benefits and provided enough income to allow her to save part of her trust fund allowance. With a check-in time…

  • A Deeply Planted Seed: Chapter 4 – Beacon

    Melissa woke up shortly after dawn. The glow from her window was enough to warm her room but not enough to convince her to get out of bed. She remained comfortably sprawled under the covers as she reviewed her memory of the dream. On remembering the sensation of planting the card into her body, she…
