On the Winter Solstice last December, I pulled an archetype card for the coming year. I was buoyed by the image that appeared to me: that of the mysterious and sensuous Siren. Kim Krans, creatrix of the deck writes: “…the Siren calls and the world spins. What we thought we wanted pales in comparison to the sweet allure of her song… She eats rules.” With the sighting of the mythic mermaid, I had the thought that my year would be filled with delicious, intimate explorations that would allow me to deepen the connection I’ve been cultivating with pleasure and sexuality for the past few years. But overall, in these past months, this has not been the case. I’ve mostly been in survival mode, dragging myself through the days, selling strollers, diapers and baby clothes to new parents and wondering, once again, what my life is even for.
