🍀 Don’t get lucky; BE lucky!

My mum once told me as a kid you can make your own luck. She was right

Four types of luck exist. Only one is out of your control. The other three are deterministic; built through character, skill, and persistence

Positive EV across hundreds of iterations. The occasional loss (and they WILL happen) doesn’t sink you if the long run edges your way

👾 Want to play a game?

You have two choices: the wealth game, or the status game

Wealth is positive sum; assets that earn while you sleep. The reward is personal sovereignty

Status is a zero sum game we’ve been playing since monkey tribes. By definition, someone has to lose

Money doesn’t buy happiness. But wealth buys freedom; and that’s worth more than any yacht, Rolex, or fast car

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “The Fire Horse shares the horse’s traits: power, stamina, independence, loyalty, and prosperity, Lee explains. But each trait is amplified by its combination with fire, the most volatile of the five traditional Chinese elements. ‘The aftermath of fire is growth,’ he says. ‘This means that there will be many opportunities for growth, so individuals are encouraged to push forward with personal goals, embrace change, and endure the process for ultimate reward.’ The fire horse is also a sprinting animal, which indicates that 2026 is a year in which events will unfold rapidly. Experts say the Year of the Horse will demand ‘bold action and risk taking,’ in stark contrast to 2025’s Year of the Wood Snake, which was viewed as a time for cautious progress. Fire horse years, also called Bing-Wu years, historically ‘disrupt the existing order’ of our societies, according to Xiaohuan Zhao, sinology professor at the University of Sydney. ‘(There) is a long-standing association between Bing-wu years and periods of social or political instability in historical tradition,’ he explains. The last Year of the Fire Horse was 1966, a year marked by the start of China's Cultural Revolution, the Aberfan disaster in Wales, and the escalation of the Vietnam War.” — Ronan O’Connell, NatGeo, 2/17/26.

#CardOfTheDay IV of Swords - restriction

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Before you ask about sumac being poisonous, let me explain. Yes, there is such a thing as poison sumac, but it’s a pretty rare plant, growing primarily in wetlands east of the Mississippi. It’s also very easy to differentiate between poison sumac and edible sumacs when the plants are in fruit. Poison sumac has loose, drooping clusters of white berries that emerge from between the leaves. Edible sumac has red fruit borne in terminal clusters (at the ends of branches). Since the only part of the plant I recommend eating is the fruit, the color makes it pretty easy to tell which is which. There are many types of edible sumac in the United States, including smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), staghorn sumac (R. typhina), and three-leaved sumac (R. trilobata), among others. All produce red berries with varying degrees of sourness. While some people eat the young shoots of sumac stems, I’m not impressed enough by the flavor to go out of my way for them.” — Ellen Zachos, How to Forage for Wild Foods without Dying, 2023. Below the text is a four of swords tarot card as drawn by Colman-Smith with a knight’s effigy in a church and a stained-glass window beyond with a sword at his side and three hanging on the wall above; a black fountain pen with gunmetal trim; a swatch of burnt orange ink; and a rectangular bottle of same.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “In contrast to the poor support that Rome’s rituals offer for Elysium, the manes are well represented in Roman worship and on Rome’s festival calendar. In addition to the aforementioned opening of the Mundus, there was also the Parentalia, a nine-­day festival for the manes in February, and the Lemuria, a three-­day festival in May (see chapter 7). There were also home shrines that Romans used to worship manes, like those that Statius describes (Silv., 2.7.120–131, 3.3.195–216). A wide range of texts refer to prayers to the manes or oaths sworn by the power of the manes (chapter 5). Even at the funeral itself, a major part of the ritual involves making the grave into a sacred space for the new manes, including the sacrifice of a pig to the dead person (chapter 6.D.2). Unlike Elysium, the manes and their power were central to the Roman rites that concerned death.” — Charles W. King, The Ancient Roman Afterlife, 2020. Below the text is a blue card with a simple illustration of a lace-up, high-heeled boot; a blue and ivory fountain pen with gold-tone trim; a swatch of medium blue ink; and a sample vial of same.

#CardOfTheDay V The Hierophant - Turkey Tail • Trametes versicolor - unity, education, tradition

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) is another very important Asian medicinal mushroom. In terms of the quality of the scientific research that has been done, turkey tail, along with shiitake, is “the most credible of them all,” said Christopher Hobbs, an herbalist and author of Medicinal Mushrooms. Turkey tail is used in TCM to treat pulmonary disorders, and two polysaccharide compounds from this fungus, PSP and PSK, are used as standard adjuvant cancer therapies in Japan and China, respectively, as immune stimulators. Gary Lincoff has a story about a pharmaceutical company that asked him for an exciting new mushroom they should explore. He pointed them toward the turkey tail. ‘In fact, it’s growing in your parking lot!’ he told the executives, which seemed to turn them off. ‘I guess they wanted to go to Papua New Guinea,’ sighed Lincoff.” — Eugenia Bone, Mycophilia, 2013. Below the text is a black card with an illustration of a turkey tail mushroom on a stump with flowers growing underneath; a gold-tone pen; a swatch of charcoal ink with gold shimmer; and a cylindrical bottle of same.

#CardOfTheDay Wonder

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Long ago John Ray explained that Epilobium hirsutum was called Codlins-and-cream ‘from the smell of the leaves a little bruised’; and this has been repeated a hundred times in book after book by botanists who never crushed the leaves and smelt them. They have no characteristic smell, nor have the flowers, although Sowerby in English Botany attributes the name to the flower scent, which he calls very ‘transitory’. A first clue may be in Gerard’s Herbal. There the species is called ‘Codded Willow herbe’—‘the flower groweth at the top of the stalke, comming out of the end of a small long codde’. ‘Codded Willow herbe’ no doubt suggested ‘Codlin Willow-herb’, the willow-herb of the codlin or cooking apple. Codlins were often boiled in milk and then eaten with cream, so, as a next stage, the rosy and white combination in the flowers (rosy petals, creamy-white stigma) may have suggested the name Codlins-and-cream, which in turn suggested other fruit names, Apple-pie, Gooseberry-pie, and Cherry-pie, which is well fitted to the cherry colour of the flowers.” — Geoffrey Gregson, The Englishman’s Flora, (1958) 1960. Below the text is a small card with an illustrator a raccoon on a barrel, a chipmunk on its back while it looks at mushrooms with binoculars; a green fountain pen; a swatch of sage green chromashading ink; and a teardrop-shaped bottle of same.

#CardOfTheDay Persevere

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Poultry keepers were wary of bringing various flowers into their homes until their chicks and goslings had safely hatched. Primroses (Primula vulgaris), or at least fewer than thirteen primrose flowers, brought indoors would mean bad luck hatching chicks, while few goslings would hatch if flowering goat willow (Salix caprea) was brought in. Fishermen thought plants provided indication of when various fish were in season. In Herefordshire, alder (Alnus glutinosa), known locally as aul, was observed, and it was said: “When the bud of the aul is as big as a trout’s eye / Then that fish is in season in the River Wye”. In Guernsey the flowering of foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) indicated the start of the mackerel season; according to a verse in the local patois: “Quand tu vé epani l’claquet / Met tes leines dans ten bate/ Et t’en vâs au macré” (When you see the foxglove blossoming, put your fishing-tackle into your boat, and go off for mackerel.)” — David J. Mabberley, A Cultural History of Plants in the Nineteenth Century, 2022.

#CardOfTheDay American Hazel • Corylus americana - wisdom, creativity

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “A famous legend, called the mezereon legend (tibastsägen), is told in various versions in all parts of Sweden. There was a farmer who the SkogsrĂĽ would not leave alone. As soon as the evening came he was unable to stay at home, but run outside into the forest, where he stayed all night. Once his wife happened upon the SkogsrĂĽ and the wife asked, what should I do about the big bull that will not come home at night? Well, the SkogsrĂĽ said, you take mezereon and valeriana and moss from the roof on the north side of the chimney, and boil it and give to him.* The wife did this and gave it to her husband and he never went to the forest at night again. The Skogsrå’s cry could be heard all over the land: Mezeron and valeriana, damned shall I be for teaching you healing!” — Sorita d'Este & David Rankine, The Faerie Queens, 2012. [* Daphne mezereum is very toxic because of the compounds mezerein and daphnin, present especially in the berries and twigs.] Below the text is a card with an ecoprint of hazel leaves in golds and browns; a brown fountain pen with silver trim; a swatch of pinky brown ink; and a small square bottle of same.

#CardOfTheDay Turtle - slow and methodical processes will create greater comfort and stability.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Field pennycress is not the easiest plant to identify in its spring rosette form; the white, four-petaled flowers and raceme of flat, round, notched seedpods that develop later are much more distinctive. But once it bolts and flowers, younger specimens are often to be found nearby, so looking at mature specimens first is good strategy for helping to make a positive identification. The dried forms with their penny- shaped pods can often be found close by too. I first learned field pennycress by spending a season watching rosettes grow, hypothesizing which were pennycress based on the four stages of photos in Cattail Bob Seebeck’s excellent but out-of-print guide, Best-Tasting Wild Plants of Colorado and the Rockies (1998), and then observing their growth to confirm my suspicions. The next year they popped up in the same place again, making identification in the rosette form easier.” — Wild Food Girl, “The Mustards are Coming!” Wild Edible Notebook, April 2014 (updated 2022). Below the text is a card with an illustration of a turtle with a smaller turtle on its back; a clear plastic and black fountain pen; a swatch dark green ink with red sheen and green shimmer; and a rectangular bottle of same.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Goat’s BEarp (Tragopogon pratensis). The habits of Goat’s Beard, or as it is often called, John-go-to-bed-at-noon, are indicated by the latter name. It is less known as Joseph’s Flower, which Mr Friend says ‘‘seems to owe its origin to pictures in which the husband of Mary is represented as a long-bearded old man,” but Gerarde gives the Low-Dutch name of his time, “Josephe’s Bloemen,” and says “when these flowers be come to their full maturity and ripeness, they grow into a downy blow-ball, like those of the Dandelion, which is carried away by the winde.” Evelyn praises it, and is indignant with the cunning of the seed-sellers. “Of late they have Italianiz’d the name, and now generally call it Salsifex ... to disguise it, being a very common field herb, growing in most parts of England, would have it thought (with many others) an Exotick.” He does not give the full Latin name, so one cannot tell whether it is our Salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius) that he means, or T. pratensis, the variety once more generally cultivated. The latter seems the likeliest, as its yellow flowers are far more common than the purple ones of salsify.” — Lady Rosalind Northcote, The Book of Herbs, 1903.

#CardOfTheDay Foxglove • Digitalis purpurea - connection

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “S. Borovnik states that the authors who wrote from the late 1970s onwards ‘depict various forms of modern female dependence in relation to the family, social status and biological nature. Some write about the limitation of women’s freedom, both personal as well as political, even though on the declarative level, the state wants to convey to them that they are free and equal’. The novels Filio ni doma [Filio Isn’t Home, 1990] and Ptičja hiša [The Birdhouse, 1995] by Berta Bojetu (1946–1997) present a special and artistically perfected response to the limitation of female freedom in which ‘the human obsession with creating differences according to gender and social position has become intense to the extreme’. Bojetu also allows a woman ‘to tell a remarkably sincere tale even about the most taboo topics, and especially about her own female experiencing of relationships (affair or affairs, contacts or meetings) with a man (or men)’. Gender identity in both novels can also be understood as fluid.” — Katja Mihurko Poniž, “The Reflections of Feminist Ideas in Novels and Short Stories by Slovenian Women Writers”, 2015.

#CardOfTheDay 33 Night - focus on rest, sleep hygiene

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “Similarly the later saints had particular flowers dedicated to their memory; and, indeed, a complete catalogue of flowers has been compiled—one for each day in the year—the flower in many cases having been selected because it flowered on the festival of that saint. Thus the common bean was dedicated to St. Ignatius, and the blue hyacinth to St. Dorothy, while to St. Hilary the barren strawberry has been assigned. St. Anne is associated with the camomile, and St. Margaret with the Virginian dragon's head. Then there is St. Anthony's turnips and St. Barbara's cress—the "Saints' Fliral Directory," in "Hone's Every-Day Book," giving a fuller and more extensive list. But the illustrations we have already given are sufficient to show how fully the names of the saints have been perpetuated by so many of our well-known plants not only being dedicated to, but named after them, a fact which is perhaps more abundantly the case on the Continent. Then, as it has been remarked, flowers have virtually become the timepieces of our religious calendar.” — T. F. Thiselton Dyer, The Folk-Lore of Plants, 1889.

The lichenes stygius, onuphalodes, etc, afford also a red dye, and the lichenes croceus, vulpinus a good yellow. There is no doubt, but that many colors in process of time may be obtained from this kind of plants. If we consider the vertues of the lichenes or liverworts upon animate bodies taken internally, they are not inconsiderable. The lichen vulpinus is a deadly poifon to wolves. It. The lichen pyxidatus, or cup-moss, is efficacious in the hooping cough. The lichen jubatus or rock-hair in exulcerations of the skin. The lichen omphalodes in stopping hæmorrhages. The lichen aphthofus in thrushes, and against worms. The lichen caninus or ash-colored ground liverwort in the hydrophia and madness.

A friend of Julius Caesar is said to have been the originator of the clipped, ornamental box hedge, and Martial speaks of the clipped box trees in the garden of Bassus. The Greeks dedicated the tree to Pluto and firmly believed, Francis Bacon says, that it produced honey and of such a poisonous kind that men were driven mad by it. The ancients valued box wood because it made the best musical instruments. If left to grow naturally the tree will reach a height of fifteen feet. It grows wild in most parts of Europe. Many villages in England are called after this tree—Box Hill, Boxgrove, Boxmoor and others. Medicinally the box tree [Buxus sempervirens] was at one time a celebrated cure for intermittent fevers and it has the tonic properties that are common to herbs with febrifuge properties. It has narcotic and sedative properties in full doses, and can be used as a vermifuge. To dream of box portends long life, prosperity and a happy marriage.” — Mrs CF [Hilda] Leyel, (1948) 1970.

The winds were strong on the Temple heights, and the tapers were unprotected, yet they did not flicker nor fail. From this incident Bride is called' Bride boillsge,' Bride of brightness. This day is occasionally called 'La Fheill Bride nan Coinnle,' the Feast Day of Bride of the Candles, but more generally 'La Fheill Moire nan Coinnle,' the Feast Day of Mary of the Candles—Candlemas Day. The serpent is supposed to emerge from its hollow among the hills on St Bride's Day, and a propitiatory hymn was sung to it. Only one verse of this hymn has been obtained, apparently the first. It differs in different localities: Early on Bride's morn The serpent shall come from the hole, I willnot molest the serpent, Nor will the serpent molest me.” — Alexander Carmichael, Carmina Gadelicah, V.

#CardOfTheDay Full Moon - Surrender to the divine

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “One of the ‘Ulster Cycle’ of early medieval Irish tales is Tochmarc Emire, the story of the wooing of Emer by the hero Cú Chulainn, which (at least in its extant form) was probably composed in the tenth or eleventh century. One of the tests which she set her semi-divine suitor was to go sleepless for a year, and in setting her challenge she named the main calendar points of the yearly cycle as they feature repeatedly in Irish literature of the time. Instead of denoting the cardinal points of the sun or the main Christian festivals, she indicated the opening of the four seasons. One of those which she named was ‘Imbolc, when the ewes are milked at spring’s beginning’. The same feast, marking the end of winter and the opening of spring, is cited repeatedly in the early medieval literature under the names Imbolc, Imbolg, or Oimelc; as the ‘b’ in the first two is silent and the first syllable in the last is a short ‘i’, the different words have a very similar pronunciation, as ‘imolk’ or ‘imelk’. It was placed in the Roman calendar, adopted by the Irish by the time that written records begin, on 1 February. ” — Ronald Hutton, The Stations of the Sun, 1996. Below the text is a card with an illustration of a full moon; a brushed metal pen; a swatch of chromashading gray-purple ink; and a small square bottle of same.
