Time is an illusion… Weekly Recap 1/6/2025

Let me tell you about time.

It isn’t real.

And you know what? I’m not even writing this or posting it right now. In fact, I wrote it several days ago.

You’ve received a scheduled post.

Why? Because Selene and I are on a cruise without WiFi or cell coverage. I mean, as long as everything goes according to plan, we’ll actually be getting back a few hours after you get this email.

But if everything doesn’t go according to plan?

I’m kidding, of course! You see… I’m allowed to make these types of jokes now because from my perspective in the present (which… from your perspective… is actually the past), I’ve already returned in the future and we’re all fine and had a great time.

Do you follow?

I can’t possibly make that any clearer.

Good morning and happy Monday, friends!

Welcome to 2025!

How did you celebrate the New Year?

Selene and I continued our tradition of being in ritual at the stroke of midnight. This is our SEVENTH consecutive year. We often joke that this has stopped us from aging.

The trick, you see, is that we’re technically on the astral plane as the calendar officially changes years, which means that we’re actually still in 2018 when we started the whole process.

Does it actually work? I don’t know. Ask me in 200 years.

Here’s a picture of our 2024-2025 ritual altar.

I made sure to bust out the new teacup that Selene got me for Christmas and do some tasseography. I’m pleased with the results!

Earlier in the week, we went on a nature walk. Here’s a picture of a squirrel hanging upsidedown from a palm tree.

And we also made TONS OF SOAP.

Our adventures in soap making are just beginning… but after some batches cure, you’ll surely see some fancy bars in our Etsy store.

Right before we left, I finished editing the next episode of M3 which features Sara Mastros and Marco Felgueiras. You can check it out now on YouTube!

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet. After all, we’re on a cruise right now. I’m supposed to be relaxing. I’ll share pictures when we get back!

To summarize this post and perhaps all of 2024, here is a picture of Loki.

That’s all for now! Stay tuned for more.
