A few weeks back, I  blogged about my Sunday with Pickle and Spiderman, and how Spiderman had sent me home with some very thoughtful presents: homemade herbal ointments and a nice bud of weed.

“It was the sweetest gift of all time,” I wrote. “Until two days later.”

That’s when I received his email.

Spiderman had read my blog in its entirety. Something nobody has really done. Not my close friends. Not my parents. Mr. D reads each post, but even his expertise in IT business analysis hasn’t translated to Google Analytics for my site. And as a pothead with killer business acumen, he hasn’t looked into cultivating potential ad revenue. (But I’m not mad. I am anxiously looking forward to fasting for your health and well-being this Wednesday, Oct. 19, on the fourth day of the waning moon. You are the great love of my life, and I hope our love may be forever blessed by the heavens above. By the sun, the stars, and the moon.)

The moon is crucial. Spiderman knows. In an email entitled, “Here goes haha,” this is what he wrote:

So I kept having this reoccurring thought on the day- which I always do when I OCD replay the entire day in my head over and over until I’m somewhat satisfied that it did in fact happen the way I perceived it, which I will do again after I send this to you lol.

The thought was when the caricature artist asked, “Do you want to be a waxing moon or a waning moon…..”

One thing I didn’t tell you about her is that she is actually something like a psychic intercessor–a person who intervenes on behalf of a person for a higher power or meaning. The definition of intercessor has a lot of religious undertones–it doesn’t have to mean that–it doesn’t mean that to me.  That being said, she undeniably has the gift. You can take this or leave it but after reading the blog and the tarot parts and the things we talked about, I feel like it is important to point this out to you.

You told her to choose for you and she did. She chose a waning moon. More specifically a waning crescent moon.

Now bear with me–the subconscious mind is ruled by the moon. A waning moon is when the moon has gone through its cycle to become full and is now gradually fading and losing its light, but in a completely different way. It is now on a path to become a new moon–a rebirth.

In its cycle it has completed what it is supposed to do–fully illuminate and then cycle back to its original intent. This can mean many things; however, in your case I believe it means something great. I think this is a sign that you are on the correct path in your life.

The phase you are in now is waning. Some of the following is copy and paste so that it makes more sense than my random fire thoughts.

As the Moon decreases in size, it goes from full to dark, and this is a time of letting go, it is also a time of completion. If you have been wanting to change something in your life, this is the perfect time. It is also a time of ending anything that doesn’t work in your life, this may be a habit, a relationship, or paying attention to issues  associated with legal matters, this is a time to pay attention to anything that you have been procrastinating about.

The next phase you would enter is the dark moon. This is a time when the Moon is not visible in the sky, this phase lasts for approximately two or three days, and if there is something in your life that is unnecessary, this is the time to release it. It is also a time of recognizing what you have accomplished in your life, and a time to plan for what you want to attain in the future. If you have been in a quandary and are unsure how to progress, this is the time for you to go within and be honest with yourself about what is right for you at this point in your life. If you enjoy meditation this is a perfect time for that, if you have never meditated, there is no better time to begin.

Finally you would enter the new moon phase. This is the crescent Moon when we see the first peak of light, this is a time of newness, the beginning of relationships, the beginning of a new venture, the energy of this phase promotes new beginnings on any level. This is the time for change and for being open to, and looking for new opportunities, tilling the soil and planting seeds actually, and the seeds of ideas.

Okay, so if you are following this–we are in autumn or as some people call it, the fall harvest. This is the time to reap what you have sown, to cash in on what is yours, to end things that are not beneficial and let go of anything negative.

But more importantly it is when you plant the seeds for the future harvest.

I think anything you do NOW will bring you to what you are looking for concerning purpose in life and a true fulfillment of your potential come spring time.

So that being said, if you are serious about wanting your writing to become a lucrative career, now is the time to pull out all the stops and fuck shit up. Paint the fucking town, crack skulls, kick ass and take names. Just do what you have to do to get where you want to be. The universe is basically putting its foot up your ass and you gotta make a move for what you want. It’s like all the positive karma you have built up in your life is coming to pay you back.

Okay, so I know this is really weird/crazy and probably doesn’t make complete sense, but take whatever you can from that and apply it. Out of all the people I would have thought would be standing in my kitchen 20 years later, you would have never been the one, yet there you were. We cross paths and are put in people’s lives for a reason. I think that reason was for this exact moment.
