Growing up is a work in progress with no end state of completion. Regardless of your age, there will always be moments where you feel incapable of dealing with the present circumstance or unable to handle yourself with the hardness of your ideals. This is normal. Don’t discard those parts of yourself that you feel are so childish that they prevent you from wearing the mantle of Adult™. A mature adult looks at those parts and acknowledges that these “childish” parts are also a part of them, even those parts that feel hurt and just want to cry. Face yourself today, and give yourself a hug. Sometimes maturity is cleaning up the mess you made. Sometimes maturity is playing in the rain. Maturity is taking the day as it goes and doing what you can to take care of yourself along the way.


The Bosch Tarot is a series of collages based on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. Using a unique set of meanings that doesn’t always aligns with Waite, it will sometimes read direct, and sometimes read like a koan. It is a good deck for introspection and examination of internal motives. The Bosch Tarot is presented by Atanas A. Atanassov and ©Lo Scarabeo.
