A Modern African Tarot
The second card in A Modern African Tarot continues the journey begun by O FOOL. Where the Fool walks forward into layered realities, I MAGICIAN stands still—anchored, intentional, and aware of his tools. This card reimagines the traditional Magician archetype through the lens of African intellect, spiritual agency, and modern mastery.

A Modern African Tarot
Tarot has always been more than cards—it’s a mirror, a guide, a way to tell our stories. For centuries, the decks most people know—like the Rider Waite Smith—have been built on European imagery and symbolism. Castles, knights, biblical archetypes… powerful in their context, but distant for those of us whose roots and rhythms are African. These images speak to a worldview shaped by medieval Europe, but they often feel foreign when held in African hands.

A Modern African Tarot
This card marks the beginning of a powerful journey—a series of African-themed Major Arcana reimaginings that will culminate in the final card: The World. Each card in this series is designed to reflect modern African life, symbolism, and spirit, offering a fresh lens through which to explore timeless archetypes. We begin, as all journeys do, with O FOOL.

Content Without Context Is Just Noise
In the digital world, everyone's screaming for attention. There are posts, ads, and videos everywhere, and all are screaming to get seen. But let's get down to brass tacks: all that content means squat if it's not being seen by the right eyes or telling a useful story. Without context, good intent can turn to waste quickly. It is just noise being sent directly into space.

The Unnamed: Chronicles of a Faceless Journey
There is a VHS tape somewhere in my mind, dusty and forgotten, labeled simply "LIFE." It sits among relics I cannot name—fragments of bone, the architecture of a ribcage, remnants of what once was. I have been thinking about this tape recently, wondering if anyone would bother to play it. Wondering what they would find if they did.

Everything
We live in time, and we live in space. From the daily rise and set of the sun to the changing position of objects around us, time and space are the fundamental framework through which we perceive the world. But have you ever truly wondered: Where do they come from? And did they exist even before the birth of the cosmos?

Why Musical Adaptations Shine in Local and Community Theater Settings
Musical adaptations have long held a special place in the world of local and community theater. Their vibrant storytelling, emotional depth, and the seamless blend of dialogue, music, and movement make them irresistible to both performers and audiences. But what truly puts them apart is their amazing ability to breathe new life into beloved stories while inviting local talent to shine. Whether staged in a modest high school auditorium or a bustling community arts center, musical adaptations deliver a shared, immersive experience that resonates long after the curtain falls.

The Woman Who Became a Mirror
In the history of performance art, few moments have struck the human conscience as sharply as what unfolded in a modest gallery in Naples in 1974. It was an experiment that involved no words, no movement, and no stage—only a woman, a table of seventy-two objects, and the unpredictable landscape of the human soul. To this day, Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 remains one of the most disturbing, enlightening, and unforgettable explorations of human behavior ever witnessed.

How to Develop an Idea Into a Story
Turning a simple idea into a powerful story is one of the most exciting parts of writing. Every author, whether beginner or professional, starts with a tiny spark: a thought, a scene, a question, or a moment of inspiration. But what makes a story truly memorable is not the idea itself—it’s how you develop it, shape it, and bring it to life. If you want to learn how to develop an idea into a story, you don’t need special talent or a perfect imagination. All you need is curiosity, structure, and the willingness to explore your idea from every angle.

Laghami Church in Svaneti
If you are not familiar with the history of Christianity in Svaneti, Georgia, you would not guess this building is a church. It looks more like a very old house, with no distinct Georgian church dome or bell tower. The only thing suggesting it’s a religious structure is the cross on its roof and the cemetery on its grounds.

The Elephant and the Donkey's Big Mix-Up
In a lush forest, Eddie the Elephant and Danny the Donkey decided to go for a stroll. Eddie strutted with his trunk held high, while Danny brayed cheerfully. Suddenly, they spotted a sign that read: "Best Voice in the Forest Contest!"
