FROM WITHIN
This grouping was selected at random from a communally generated master list of four hundred. It is my hope that these ten items can be used as a forecast or guide to your week ahead. You can also use a ten sided dice to turn each weeks items into a miniature oracle. Whether you choose to take these items literally or metaphorically, it’s up to you to find how these things may help. For a more thorough overview go to Introducing Bottomless Bag and Bottomless Bag 01.

DIGGING DEEPER
Usually you would find a deep dive into one of this week’s items in this section but I’m going to be doing something different here for the next few weeks.
Friday saw the release of another oracular creation of mine, The Tethered Elements. It’s being sold in a four week pre-order that closely resembles how I sold the hardcover version of The Disruption Generator. I will only be producing what’s been ordered in that short window and it goes right back out of print after that.
The Tethered Elements is an experiment in oracular minimalism. I’m trying to see just how much can be done with twelve symbols on a pair of dice.
You should dig The Tethered Elements if you’ve enjoyed BOTTOMLESS BAG or any of my other oracular work.
That’s all for now. Come back next week for another dig into the BOTTOMLESS BAG.
As always:
SEE WHAT’S INSIDE
DIG DEEP
AND
HAUNT ON
