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

This week is an interesting convergence of two separate but related projects. First thing is that we’ve finished out another hundred items in BOTTOMLESS BAG. Only a hundred left to go before we’re finished out. Second thing is that this is the last week of the pre-order for my dice oracle, The Tethered Elements.

The Tethered Elements is possibly the most DIY project I’ve done. The dice and booklet are being produced independently and I will only be producing what’s been pre-ordered. 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. The idea hit me hard and fast, much like The Impossible Game.

You should dig The Tethered Elements if you’ve enjoyed BOTTOMLESS BAG or any of my other oracular work. You have until March 5th to order and it’s gone after that.

That’s all for now. I’m taking a couple weeks off to rest and prepare for the last ten weeks of BOTTOMLESS BAG.

As always:

SEE WHAT’S INSIDE

DIG DEEP

AND

HAUNT ON
