Pussy Galore - Pussy Fuzz
s.a. the pussy fuzz prototype
"... Steve Albini had 4 of these harmonic percolators made for himself and Jon Spencer, Kurt Wolf and Neil Hagerty as Christmas gifts. ... The pedal pictured was given to Jon Senum (St. Paul Bike Blog) by Jon Spencer at their show at Old Avalon Theater, Minneapolis, US (July 24, 1989)"
âThe case was from Radio Shack, the pots were CTS and the board was hand etched using Datek dry transfer resist materials. The case was marked with Kroy lettering machine labels. The knobs were just like Fender amp knobs in size and shape, but were marked 0-9 in smaller sized numbers. The circuit was based on the Harmonic Percolator but was modified to sound more like Steve Albiniâs personal pedal, which really sounds like no other. Steve still has one of these versions in his collection.â âSteve Abliniâs personal HP has one germanium and one silicon transistor and all of the clones that were made (maybe a total of 8-10) were made using the same circuit as his, but each one was tweaked to sound as close to his original one as possible. As I noted before, his personal one sounds like no other normal Percolator that Iâve ever heard. A few years ago (after the video interview/review) a couple of P-Fuzz prototypes were created and delivered to Steve. These new versions were made in small rectangular âMXRâ style boxes. One had no controls and was preset to full on as this is Steveâs normal setting.â â Mr Bill

Caught
Oh? A one-shot that I wrote in two days because the idea wouldn't leave me alone and I wrote it like a mad woman? Oh yes, it is.
CW: features afab/fem oc! Altaira who uses she/her pronouns. Smut. Voyeurism. Exhibitionism. Solo masturbation (f! and m!). Mutual Masturbation (female and male genitals mentioned in explicit detail)
Third person POV
A/N: This one-shot scene is not canon to Altaira's fic.
Diavoloxoc!Altaira (intimate scene, no pre-established relationship)
Other characters mentioned: Asmodeus, Barbatos, Beel
Synopsis: This is what happens when you listen to Beel for directions. Oh, the things you'll see that you probably weren't meant to see.
Minors and ageless blogs DNI
18+ only
Masterlist
Enjoy~
Which door did Beel say again? Did he say two lefts and the first door on the right? Or one left and two doors down on the right? Altaira wondered.
It was the night of one of Lord Diavolo's sleepovers, and it was about the fourth Altaira had attended since arriving in the Devildom. She was still rather new to visiting the Demon Lord's castle, but she thought this time she could make it on her own without an escort, just some simple directions. But that proved to be challenging.
I just wanted to take a shower, she thought.
After making two lefts and looking at the doors on her right, it seemed the first door on the right was locked. Maybe it was two doors down.
Trying the second one yielded an entry for her. When she looked around, it wasn't a bathroom, however. It was a dark bedroom with charcoal walls, dimly lit, and quite spacious. Looking around, it was clear someone used the room, but what distracted her further was the music that sounded as though it was coming from the other side of a door within the room. It was tranquil and soft with a beautiful flute and piano harmonizing together; it was rather inviting to her.
"Hello?" She called out, but she was given no reply.
Slowly, she opened the door and looked around. The music wasn't coming from here, she realized. It looked to be the bathroom she was promised, but as she scanned the room, her eyes landed on the figure encased in wet glass with patches of steam as water ran over him.
Immediately, her mouth dropped, and a haze of embarrassment washed over her. Diavolo was in the shower with his back to her, with one hand outstretched on the wall above his head, and the other was out of sight. His back muscles rippled with each minor movement. He looked as though he was painted by a most divine creator. Each dip and valley that lined the contours of his body was placed just so perfectly. It could make one weep. Looking below his waist, he was only more magnificent to gaze upon. The v-shaped lines just above his ass were just right for running one's thumbs over. His rear was perfectly rounded and plush, stirring feelings of merely just wanting to grab it, to feel its wondrous density.
The demon's head was hung, and the movement of his shoulder and upper arm brought the human woman's attention to what he was doing. The red hot flush dusting her cheeks cascaded down to the rest of her body. Her eyeline fell to the repeated motion of his dominant arm. Guilt rapidly settled in her chest, and she started to turn to leave. However, a very distinct sound made her stop in her tracks as her hand rested on the doorknob.
"Ohh... Altaira," he moaned.
Shit, had he caught me? Did he know I was watching?
She immediately looked to his form again and realized he still remained unaware, at least seemingly, to her presence.
"Fuck... You're beautiful," he continued. Her eyes fully widened, and her lips remained parted in full-bodied shock. "I need you so bad."
He... needs me?
"Hah... So perfect," he grunted. His voice raised in pitch, and the muscles in his back tensed up. "Ahâahh... Please, Altaira..."
She covered her mouth to not let out the whine that percolated in her throat.
He's beautiful like this, she thought.
"Please, let me cum in you," he whimpered. "You feel so good."
This is the sexiest moment of my life.
"I love you," he half-moaned, half-grunted.
Oh. I stand corrected.
Within seconds, Diavolo let out a few high, beautiful whimpers, his whole body flexing as his orgasm took hold. His hand that was laid upon the shower wall flexed with all the tendons beautifully outlined. His fingers curled slowly, causing the veins in his forearms to stand out. His biceps were rigid and defined. Her eyes couldn't settle on any one place on his god-like form, wanting to take in every bit of him in this moment. His hips twitched forward a few times, and then finally, his body relaxed again.
Altaira watched in fascination, completely aroused by the show she had just witnessed. But, within seconds, that arousal turned to guilt as she realized she watched a very private moment with someone who didn't know she was there. She started to very quietly back up and touch the door handle, and the Demon Lord himself turned around. His eyes slowly opened and drew up from the floor to meet her undivided gaze. He was frozen, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Altâ" He started to say her name.
"I'm so sorry!" She blurted out, a splayed hand coming to her chest. She could feel her heart threatening to burst with how hard it pounded inside.
The two continued to stare at each other for a good four seconds until her body decided to cooperate. She scrambled at the door, too scatterbrained to open it properly at first. After a couple of tries, she had it open.
"Wait, I justâ" He started to say again.
"All you had to do was ask!" She called out as she darted through the door and slammed it shut.
Though she wasn't a fast runner, there was something to be said for her being able to dash around while she found her way, eventually, to the guest bedroom she was staying in. The door was slammed shut, and she threw herself onto her bed.
"What have I done?" She groaned aloud.
Her D.D.D. buzzed and she looked over to the nightstand. It was Asmodeus.
Dollface: Are you coming back to the party? We're putting on a movie and I want you to sit on my lap!
Altaira: I'm going to sleep. I have a headache.
Dollface: Boo! Well, I always say beauty sleep is important. I'll check on you tomorrow!
Altaira sighed and put her device back down. She rolled onto her back and stared at the ceiling.
Surely I'm going to be in trouble for that. There must be some rule about seeing royalty naked, and I'll get my head lobbed off. Oh hell, I'm so dead.
Her mind drifted, however, back to the memory she had of seeing Diavolo in those moments. How he called for her, said she was beautiful, begged to cum inside of her.
Maybe it's just some twisted fantasy he has with me that I wouldn't want to know about. Or he knows another Altaira. Fuck, it doesn't matter! I watched him have an intimate moment, and I feel disgusted that I stood there and watched like a freak.
A couple of hours went by as she tossed and turned in her bed. Her body was set aflame, and her need for attention down below just wouldn't leave her alone. Finally, she caved and rolled onto her back once more. Slowly, she slid her right hand down her stomach and under the waistband of her pajamas and panties. Finding her lower lips, she parted them with her pointer and ring fingers and allowed her middle finger to slide in between. She twitched and sighed at the sensation, but it wasn't enough. Her finger sank down to her clit and immediately began rubbing against the sides of the swollen nub. She gave a light, breathy moan as she found a pace she enjoyed. Her hips twitched and body jolted on occasion as she drove her pleasure higher as her other hand came to massage her own breast, teasing her nipple with her fingers.
Her thoughts wandered into imagining if Diavolo was watching her this time. She started to take her time then, thinking about if the roles had been reversed. If she had been masturbating in the shower, toying with her pussy but knowing he was watching, cock hard in his trousers, begging to be let free.
"Diavolo..." she moaned out softly, a smile adorning her face. She imagined him being so desperate to touch her, pleading to fuck just once. "I want you to touch me," she rasped.
"All you had to do was ask."
"What?!" She jerked her head up at the sound of a familiar voice, now husky and in his lower register. She pulled her hand away from her arousal and sat up on one elbow. Her eyes flitted around until she saw a silhouette hovering near the end of her bed.
"I apologize, I just wanted to make sure you were okay," Diavolo stated.
She swallowed thickly and turned to turn on the lamp beside her, illuminating her guest. He stood there in his pajamas, a cardinal red silk set.
"I should be the one apologizing. I hope you can forgive my intrusion on... the private moment you were having," she replied.
"Private moment?" He echoed. His eyes went askance until he pieced together what she meant. "Ah."
"Aren't you... upset? That I saw you?" She pressed further.
He sat on the edge of the bed. "And what, exactly, did you see?" He asked quietly.
"You were... Well, I saw that you were naked and..." She swallowed thickly and stammered, "And, um, s-saying m-my name."
"And what did you mean by "All you had to do was ask?" He inquired.
Her eyes widened, and she fully sat up. "Um, I meant..." The prince then leaned over and crawled onto the bed more, now hovering over her legs. "I heard you... say..." She trailed off again, and her breath hitched as he continued to hover over her, looking at her with his intense golden gaze.
"That you needed me, that I was beautiful, and that you wanted to..." That last part she was unwilling to finish from embarrassment. "Did you mean any of that?" She finally asked.
"Did you mean that you wanted me to touch you?" He asked in reply.
"Yes," she whispered instantly before losing her bravery. A new glimmer appeared in his eyes, one far more lustful now.
"Did you like watching me?" He purred.
"Yes," she answered in a whisper again.
"And were you thinking of me just now while pleasuring yourself?" He leaned closer.
She nodded, "Yes."
"I think what would be a fair trade is for me to watch you please yourself," he murmured, his eyes half-lowered. "Would you mind if I watched you?"
"Um... Y-You can watch me," she stammered a little. Her body was filled with nerves and excitement. He moved away as she laid on her back and slowly slid off her pajama bottoms and panties, letting them slide off the side of the bed.
Keeping her eyes on Diavolo, she spread her legs out and brought her knees up with her heels digging into the bed. His gaze slowly descended, taking in her half-naked form. When his eyes rested on her spread cunt, his breathing became shallow, and his pupils were blown out.
Timidly, her right hand reached down to her pussy to begin spreading the lips out, rubbing against her labia. He crawled forward and sat between her legs on his knees, watching with an intense stare.
"Ah!" She gasped as she reached her clit, rubbing it with her middle finger, the same as before she was interrupted. Air was sucked in between her teeth in a hiss as she felt how drenched she was. To have this demon watching her like this was titillating. Her free hand came up to gently grab at her breast over her sleep shirt, teasing the nipple with her fingertips.
"What do you think about when you do this?" He asked in a raspy voice.
"You," she instantly replied in a murmur. "I imagine it's your hands on my body, you telling me how good I feel, and you making me cum."
"Is that right?" He asked as one corner of his mouth slightly tipped up.
"And so much more," she added.
Very slowly, his hand went to the waistband of his pajama bottoms, and he pulled it down. His hard cock sprang free and her eyes widened to see it up close for the first time. She hadn't seen it earlier, and now she was left gawking at its size and length while precum oozed out of the slit. He took it into his hand and began lazily stroking it.
"Ohh," she moaned, enthralled by the situation.
"You're so beautiful like this," he muttered.
They continued watching each other with lustful gazes, mutually getting off at the sight of one another.
"Howâ" She swallowed thickly. "How often do you think of me? Like this?"
"All the time. When I see you, my wish is to steal you away and have you to myself for hours on end," he replied breathlessly.
A whine sounded off in her throat as she got closer, her hips gently bucking upward. It was painful, almost, for both of them to be so close but not touching. But that was part of the appeal â to be so close, and yet, withholding, knowing the other person wants them so badly. To see the desperation on their face as they imagine how their skin feels, what it would be like to fuck each other senseless. It created more sexual tension to know just how badly they wanted to touch.
"Diavolo," she whispered, her eyes heavy as she came closer to her release.
"Say my name again," he pleaded, stroking his cock faster. His golden orbs were locked in on her face, taking in every sound and expression she had to offer him.
"Diavolo," she answered with more of a whine this time.
"Fuck, Altaira... I need you," he whimpered back.
It's even better when he's actually saying it to me, she thought.
"I'm close," she warned, eyes screwing shut while her free hand gripped the sheets beside her head.
"Look at me," he rasped. Her eyes opened, and he gave a slight smirk. "I want us to see each other." She immediately nodded in agreement.
"Ohh, fuckâ D-Dia! Please, I wanna cum together," she cried, feeling the heat rising within as it built like a roaring inferno. It only kept building.
As they gazed at one another, seemingly invisible sparks were flying. It was the most excited either had ever felt, and it was enough to send them over the edge.
"Diavolo! Ohh, I'm cumming," she wailed to him, her back arched slightly and her hips rocked back and forth as she rubbed her cunt against her hand.
"Ohh, ahâ Altaira," he moaned her name out in return.
In unison, the two unraveled and came apart before one another. His hips surged forward and he shot ropes of cum onto the silk sheets between her legs. While grunts and sighs fell from his lips, whimpers and sobs escaped from hers.
After they had both relaxed again, Altaira sat up on her hands, looking between herself and him, considering what had just happened.
"Did you enjoy that?" Diavolo asked softly.
"I did, did you?" She asked in reply.
"Very much so."
The prince slipped off the bed and grabbed tissues to clean up with, and put himself back in order. He found himself standing at the foot of her bed again, unsure of what to do.
"You can stay, sleep in here with me," she offered, patting the spot next to her on the bed.
He gave a large grin.
---
The next morning, Barbatos had been wandering the halls of the castle for some time looking for his master when he spotted Asmodeus sneaking towards the guest room for Altaira. The butler quickly approached and put his hand on the doorknob over Asmo's hand.
"I don't believe this room is yours," Barbatos said with a smile and crinkled eyes, indicating his displeasure.
"Oh you! I know that! I told her I'd come wake her up," the fifth born replied cheerfully.
Barbatos removed his hand and let Asmo continue. When both peeked their heads in, they were rather surprised to see the pair snuggled up together, still sound asleep.
"I believe we should leave now," Barbatos grabbed the doorknob and quickly, but silently, shut it again.
"Oh my goodness! Did you see them?! They were so cute, I need a pictureâ"
Barbatos softly but deeply growled at Asmo, and Asmo immediately jumped back in retreat.
"Let's go," Barbatos replied, dragging Asmo by the elbow.
Meanwhile, Diavolo held onto his little human a little longer with a small smile adorning his face at the little prize he had caught.

Joe Goddard â Harmonics (Domino)
Photo by Louise Mason
youtube
Hot Chipâs Joe Goddard enlarges a euphoric, body-moving electronic aesthetic on this third solo album by inviting in collaborators, and though results vary, the best of these partnerships are extraordinary.
Some of these meetups are not surprising, as when Alexis Taylor and Al Doyle turn up for âMountains.â Here a plurality of Hot Chip join in a blippy, boppy, spirit quest that asks existential questions amid rave-y bursts of synth and drum machine. Wild Beastsâ Hayden Thorpe, too, seems like a natural choice in âSummons,â executing wild operatic arcs of melody atop grumbling synth bass and pounding keyboards. But a couple of tracks featuring Goddard discovery Findia fall flat; theyâre not terrible but feel a bit like by-the-numbers dance pop.
In fact, the further Goddard gets away from what you might expect, the better these cuts work. Itâs the oddball entries that catch your ear. Tom McFarland, of the UK dance-pop ensemble Jungle, flutters soulfully over eerie, trebly keyboard auras in âGhosts,â stretching words into fluid glissandos. McFarland, perhaps reflecting the title, is a spare, spectral presence, but the chorus kicks in with a gospel weight and certainty, a triumph over frailty and doubt. The jazz saxophone player and pop collage-ist Alexander DePlume is another unexpected choice, blowing in over the glitchy flicker of âReveryâ with slow, vibrato-laced tones, a florid, faintly old fashioned sound in an electronic forest. But the best of all is âMiles Away,â an unearthly mesh of the Guinean singer Falle Niokeâs resonating tones and the chiming of mbira. If there were a whole album of just this, Iâd be all in, 100%.
Goddard sometimes tinged his old bandâs tunes with melancholy taking the vocals, for instance, on the moody, soulful âHungry Children,â but Harmonics reaches for positive affirmation. âProgress,â aided by Ibibio Sound Systemâs Eno Williams, percolates with good feelings. Its heavily effected vocals soaring over pulsing, tonally intricate Konono 1-style percussion and swinging brass. It lifts off effortlessly and takes you with it.
In the end, it feels wrong to call this album a solo record, since it is defined and elevated by the people Goddard works with. Heâs been adventurous in seeking out partners, choosing some familiar ones and some that no one would have predicted, and the risks, especially, have paid off. Â

Busy doing revisions on an old project now and just cracked something for that vampy romance percolating on a back burner.
Its delicious, im so exciting about the planning.
Also been reading up on story structures. I'm thinking of running with Dan harmons' story circle/plot embryo, whatever he calls it now, save the cat writes a novel and maybe story the four part structure from larry brooks or the seven part one from.... someone whos name i cant remember.

NYC's wolfacejoeyy Achieves Heartthrob Status with Romantic 'Valentino' Mixtape
wolfacejoeyy absorbs his myriad influences and filters them through his experience as an artist and college student in New York City. An amalgamation of many of the most innovative styles percolating on the East Coast, injected with a dose of the 21-year-old's impish charm, joeyy shares Valentino, his debut full-length.Â
Spanning 13 songs, seamlessly transitioning from one to the next, Valentino is a glistening companion for late night flings, morning-after hangovers, and everything in between. Leaning into his loverboy personaâthe album title is inspired by the legendary romantic lead, not the high fashion brandâValentino refines joeyy's euphoric sound, which combines the insistent propulsion of Jersey club with the witty sleaze and sparkling samples of sexy drill, adding a dose of sweet R&B melodies and seductive storytelling that sets the project apart from his previous work.Â
Crafted by wolfacejoeyy along with a core group of producers that includes PoWR Trav, SoundByNova, Matt Nadler, and most crucially, WhereIs22, aka the actor Michael Rainey Jr. (Power, Power Book II: Ghost), Valentino is sonically rich and compulsively listenable, flowing from style to style with ease. At the center of it all is Joeyy, expertly hosting the proceedings with an sly smile on his face. Single "double tap" employs MCVERTT to bring his futuristic synths, ear-catching sound effects, and irresistible percussion, as joeyy carves through the crowded club-like atmosphere with laster-like precision. "Talk Less" finds joeyy harmonizing with Reuben Aziz over a shiny instrumental that would have found a home at urban radio during the Neptunes-dominated heyday of the early 2000s. Recently shared as a freestyle on On The Radar, "Alexis Texas" transforms the synth solo from Tyler, The Creator & Frank Ocean's "She" into a sexy drill anthem, as wolfacejoeyy literally howls like a wolf in the ad-libs.Â
Valentino is home to the buzzing single "cake," which went viral on TikTok, along with acclaimed singles like the heartfelt "don't be dishonest," and "I Know," produced by WhereIs22. "cake" has quickly become a fan-favorite, generating over 160K combined views across social platforms before its official release, earning co-signs from stars like Sexyy Red, Rubi Rose, Veeze, and Kaliii on social media. The song, and it's line "Ok, for sure/I tell her she's sexy, she said 'period, purr'," has inspired more than 47.8k video creations on TikTok. The flirty music video for "cake" recently surpassed 2.6 million views on YouTube, becoming joeyy's most-viewed video to date. Featuring additional production from Synthetic and many others, Valentino is available now on all platforms.
With his new music, joeyy is aiming to improve upon his breakout 2023, in which he partnered with Whereis22, on the acclaimed EP 22Joeyy. The album featured the single âweekendâ ft. Cash Cobain & Chow Lee, acclaimed by Pitchfork, and additional guest spots from SoFaygo and B-Lovee. Joeyy discussed the project in an interview with BET, and a profile in HYPEBEAST that came out earlier this year, and his fiery 2023 inspired Complex to place him on their list of Rappers to Watch in 2024. After the success of 22Joeyy, joey kept the train rolling, opening for Eem Triplin on tour, throwing a headlining show earlier this year at Babyâs All Right in Brooklyn, and delivering a standout performance at Rolling Loud California 2024. With over 1 million streams per week on his catalog, joeyy rolls into Spring 2024 with a head of steam.
With Valentino, joeyy establishes himself as the rap game's romantic lead. Stay tuned for the music video for "Solar," a highlight from the project, dropping soon on joeyy's YouTube.

Borewell recharge, a fascinating dance between raindrops and underground aquifers, breathes life into parched landscapes. Imagine the rooftop ballet where rainwater takes center stage, pirouetting into percolation pits, replenishing hidden reservoirs beneath our feet. This artful maneuver not only quenches the thirst of communities dependent on borewells but also orchestrates an ecological symphony, harmonizing the delicate balance between human needs and nature's provisions. As we witness this hydrological pas de deux, we glimpse a sustainable future where each drop, like a tiny hero, contributes to the grand narrative of water resilience.

top traditional paving in uk
In the realm of landscape design and urban development, the choice of natural paving stone materials plays a pivotal role in shaping not only the aesthetic appeal but also the environmental impact of a space. In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards sustainable in construction and landscaping. natural paving, characterized by the use of materials sourced directly from the Earth, has emerged as a frontrunner in this green revolution. the wonders of natural paving stones, its benefits, and its role in fostering a harmonious coexistence between human development and the natural world.
paving natural stone in uk, as the name suggests, involves the utilization of materials in their raw, unaltered state to create pathways, driveways, patios, and other outdoor surfaces. Popular choices include flagstone, bluestone, granite, sandstone, limestone, and slate, each possessing unique colors, textures, and characteristics. Unlike conventional raj green paving materials that undergo extensive processing and manufacturing, natural paving materials are extracted from quarries and mines, minimizing the environmental footprint associated with production.
One of the primary reasons natural stone paving in uk has gained traction is its inherent sustainability. Traditional concrete and asphalt paving often contribute to environmental degradation due to the energy-intensive manufacturing processes and the extraction of non-renewable resources. exterior stone wall cladding, on the other hand, involves minimal processing, reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the extraction of exterior stone wall cladding in uk can be carried out responsibly, with many quarries implementing sustainable practices such as habitat restoration and water conservation.
natural paving slabs materials seamlessly integrate with the surrounding environment, creating a more ecologically balanced space. Unlike impermeable surfaces like asphalt, which contribute to water runoff and soil erosion, natural stone paving slabs allows rainwater to percolate through the surface, replenishing groundwater and supporting plant life. This permeability fosters a healthier ecosystem by reducing the risk of flooding and providing a habitat for microorganisms crucial to soil health.
Beyond its environmental benefits, paving natural stone offers a diverse range of aesthetic possibilities. The rich palette of colors and textures inherent in natural stone paving near me provides designers and homeowners with the freedom to create unique and visually stunning landscapes. Whether used in rustic pathways, contemporary patios, or traditional garden settings, natural sandstone paving adds a timeless quality to outdoor spaces.
natural stone slabs materials are renowned for their durability and longevity. Unlike synthetic alternatives that may degrade over time, natural paving slabs are resistant to weathering, fading, and general wear and tear. This longevity translates to reduced maintenance costs and a smaller ecological footprint over the lifespan of the paved area. As our world grapples with the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, the importance of sustainable choices in construction and landscaping cannot be overstated. exterior stone wall cladding stands out as a beacon of conscious design, marrying functionality with aesthetics while minimizing environmental impact. By choosing natural stone patio, we embark on a journey towards a greener, more sustainable futureâone where the beauty of our outdoor spaces harmonizes with the delicate balance of the natural world.

Diving Deep: Tarot and Tea for Scorpio Season
Welcome to Scorpio Season and my latest post on tarot practices and herbal allies for the twelve seasons of the zodiac (you can learn more here).
Scorpio is a sign of depth which is reflected in the fact that its season arrives during the depth of autumn (for the northern hemisphere) or spring (for the southern hemisphere). Past the balance of Libra, which always seeks to balance multiple needs at once, Scorpio draws us beneath the surface and into what interests us most, to know ourselves and our worlds intimately. If Libra is an exhale, and the harmonizing of sound and breath in the wider community, Scorpio is the inhale, drawing in the relationships and patterns of relating that are most present and powerful in our lives.
Scorpio is a fixed water sign which means that it carries the energy of steadfastness, intensity, and strength (Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius are also fixed sign). While cardinal signs like Libra may introduce us to a new season, a new perspective, a change of pace, and mutable signs like Gemini may entice us away to a season or place over there, fixed signs like Scorpio help us to settle and get to know a season through and through. If Libra season helps us to recognize that there is so much beauty to know in the world, it is in the season of Scorpio that we form a long(er) term relationship with whatever beauty we are drawn most intensely to (and the beauty that draws itself most intensely to us). The season of Scorpio helps us to discover what it is that we are most curious about and what we want to learn about in-depth. Sometimes this is part of our life calling, sometimes it is a passing but important lesson, but the energy of Scorpio is always felt most acutely when we allow ourselves to be as focused and invested in something as we are called to be.
Learning and living our intensity is not always easy or comfortable. Allowing ourselves to be drawn into that which most interests us (including our own understanding of ourselves and our identities) can create schisms between the life that we were once living and the life we are beginning to live anew. But that's the nature of the season. For fixed sign seasons, where we are in the depth of a particular earthly season, there is no denying that what once was has passed and our new reality is here (i.e. the heat of summer has long given way to the cool damp of autumn and we need to change our habits accordingly). Sometimes our intensity drives us instead of us using it like a compass. Other times fear or shame is stirred up as we realize that the space we need for our curiosity and life calling isn't available in our current life. Too much intensity can cause rigidity, hubris, and an overdeveloped need to control our surroundings - things to guard against on any Scorpio adventure. But with care, the season of Scorpio can help us open up to the wonders of the world that can only be discovered when we spend time in the depths of wondering.
Diving Deep Scorpio Season Tarot Spread
The quickest way to block Scorpio energy is to deny the time and space it needs to percolate, explore, and engage with an interest. Stagnated and frustrated Scorpio energy is something that shows up a lot in healing work. Many of us live within cultural systems that keep us overworked and underpaid, starved of time to just pursue that which we're interested in. Other times we've been skimming the surface of interests for so long that we don't know where to look to go deeper. We sense that a door to the mysteries we seek is out there somewhere, just beyond our peripheral vision, but it remains hidden. Scorpio energy helps us to understand that one of the ways to find your hidden door is to know what must change in order to unlock it.
Scorpio asks, "What needs to be transformed in your life for you to live more deeply?"
Understanding the need for transformation in our lives helps us to find the key which opens up the door of our curiosity to worlds we've yet to know. Intuition is required, compassion always, and more than a bit of bravery. The following spread helps us to find the hidden door to the places and spaces that we are being called to explore in more depth in our lives.
Card 1. The Hidden Door
This card helps you to glimpse at the hidden door which is calling to you. Listen to your intuition with this card, as its true message may be buried beneath the noisiness of your analytical mind.
Card 2. That Which Hides the Door
A card to help you understand what hinders your ability to live more deeply as you are called to, including pursuing the transformation that is necessary in your life.
Card 3. That Which Needs Transforming
This card illuminates the part of your life - a habit, a pattern of thought, a relationship, and so on - that is in most need of transforming.
Card 4. That Which Opens the Door
A card which gives a glimpse of what you need in order to open the hidden door and move through it. Sometimes this card will make startling sense, other times it may seem opaque in its meaning - take note of it either way and allow its meaning to come to you in other avenues of your life. Think of this card like a bit of a spell, something to start the process of unlocking your hidden door.
Card 5. A Message for Scorpio Season
A general message, signs to pay attention to, and perhaps next steps to take as we move into Scorpio season. This card can highlight energy which you might bring more into your life during Scorpio season so that you are better able to connect with the energetic flow of the next month.
Bonus Card: That Which Guards the Reproductive System
If you feel connected with the philosophy of astroherbology you can pull an additional card to help you understand the current energies of your reproductive system, including sex organs, including physical experiences and energetic energies and what tension or wisdom you might be keeping there. I encourage you to take a somatic approach with this card - when you pull it and see the energy, follow the feelings and sensations that it evokes from your body to understand its meaning.Â
A Tea for Scorpio Season
How do we nourish the energy of Scorpio? Traditionally, Scorpio guards reproductive function as well as our sex organs (click here for a full list of traditional correspondences for Scorpio). Much of Scorpio energy feels intense because it is about the propagation of life and the desire to live. For all their beautiful intensity, Scorpio is able to locate the tenderness of the world (and our individual lives) with great precision. When supported, the energy of Scorpio can be one of great repair as our curiosity leads us to finding out what needs most healing in our life and how to go about doing it. Thorn magick plants like Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) and Rose (Rosa spp.) which simultaneously protect and open the heart are wonderful Scorpio plant allies. Sacred Basil (Ocimum sanctum) brings in much needed flexibility of spirit through its adaptogenic qualities as well as helping us to guide the intensity of Scorpio energy instead of being overwhelmed by it. All herbs support our ability to open up to that which we desire most - a very Scorpio trait indeed.
4 parts Sacred Basil (Ocimum sanctum)
2 parts Hawthorn Berry (Crataegus monogyna)
½ part Rose (Rosa spp.)
These proportions are only suggested guidelines, so feel free to play around with them to your liking. As you make your tea, slow down, breathe deep, and infuse the blend with your intentions for the season (or whenever youâre drinking this tea to connect with the energy of Scorpio). If youâre looking for more breathwork practices to help you connect with the energy of the season, come this way.
Seasonal Reflections
What does the land feel like, look like, smell like this season?
What is coming to the surface from within me?
What is receding within me?
What am I feeling grateful for?
What am I grieving for or feeling challenged by?
What am I feeling inspired and where is it calling me to this season?
What am I calling to me?
What am I called to give?

Another Scorpio herb that I think is a useful one for many folks is Nettles (Urtica dioica). If you're going to be plumbing the mysteries, it's good to have the herbal equivalent of a multivitamin on your side, and Nettles is just that and more. For those who struggle with the
inflexibility that Scorpio energy can bring or an intensity that feels run amuck, consider connecting with Vervain (Verbena spp.).
May your Scorpio season be full of revelation and many interesting things to learn more about.
