Saint Pati - The Nice

 

Our Lady of Good Hair * Our Lady of Confidences


I'm so sad to say that my dear friend, Pati Parodi, passed away earlier in October. 


I first met Pati in 1990, when she roomed with Mikey and was in hairdressing school. Thirty-five years later, I'm honored to say that Pati was a good friend, therapist, and yes, she made my hair look great. I hope she died peacefully, doing what she loved - playing Wordle and being with Charlie, the goodest doggo. I will miss her deeply. 


Some notes on the collage: The scissors are from a portrait of Pierre Toussaint, a former slave who worked as a hairdresser and became the first African American man canonized as a saint. The mirror is from a portrait of Minerva, goddess of Wisdom, Justice, and Law. The cowl is from a meme that glorifies Luigi Mangionet. The dried rose petals are from a Coretta Scott King rosebush. The mandala was from Kate Welch, her dear friend and assistant. 


Blessed be, Kayla Garnet Rose

Journey Through the Tarot

 


Journey Through the Tarot
An Integrated System for Holistic Healing

A comparison of traditional Tarot cards to modern-day decks demonstrates how the Tarot is an integrated tool for holistic health that offers insights for personal growth and transformation through the use of symbols, archetypes, and allegories.

"This book is a true gem for both experienced tarot readers and beginners. Unlike a standard guide to tarot card meanings, this small and very readable volume adds a lot of context to tarot as a historical divination tool that adapts itself to modern-day readers. A delightful and informative book!" - Lana Tyehimba Touched by Tarot

Journey Through the Tarot is a gem for anyone looking to delve into the world of Tarot, and as a tarot-loving woman, I can't recommend it enough. This book goes beyond the basics and takes you on a deep exploration of the Tarot's power for holistic health and personal growth.

What sets this book apart is its thoughtful comparison of the traditional Rider-Waite deck to modern decks. It beautifully illustrates how the Tarot can be a versatile tool, using archetypes, symbols, and allegories to offer insights into various aspects of our lives.

As someone relatively new to Tarot, I appreciated the simplicity with which the author explains the system. It's not just about fortune-telling; it's about tapping into wisdom for healing on multiple levels - physical, emotional, energetic, intellectual, and spiritual.

The historical context and the insights into how to gain information from the cards make this book an excellent resource for both beginners and more experienced readers. The in-depth examination of the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, considering elements, numerology, and their potential for holistic healing, was truly eye-opening.

If you're looking to embark on a meaningful journey of self-discovery and holistic healing through the Tarot, this book is a fantastic guide. It's well-written, insightful, and has become a valuable addition to my Tarot collection. Thank you, Kayla!

A Culinary Uprising: The Story of Bloodroot

 


Join me for a screening of A Culinary Uprising: The Story of Bloodroot as a part of the 25th Santa Cruz Film Festival. I will be emceeing the event, reading from my book, Laphrodite's Guide to Mindful Menopause, and moderating a Q and A with the film's director, Annie Laurie Medonis!


In the 1970s and '80s, there were over 230 feminist restaurants, cafés, and coffeehouses across the United States and Canada. Bloodroot, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is now the oldest and longest-running of these spaces, operating continuously for over 46 years. 'A Culinary Uprising: The Story of Bloodroot' is a short documentary that explores this feminist, queer, vegan restaurant and bookstore, highlighting the legacy of its pioneering proprietors, Selma Miriam and Noel Furie. The film offers an intimate look at their 46-year working partnership and how they navigate sexism, homophobia, and the realities of aging. Despite challenges, Bloodroot has endured as a beloved space for generations of feminists, vegans, and queer people who continue to return. Please Join Us After for a Q&A with Director Annie Laurie Medonis!

12:00 PM - 1:36 PM, Colligan Theater at the Tannery Arts Center.
