Game 1 Recap: For the first couple of innings, my scoring estimate looked like a winner and, until the 6th inning, the game stayed reasonably close to the numbers shown by the spread's scoring model: 5-3 Read Sox vs. the predicted 6-1 final score. But the Red Sox bats eventually lived up to the 6 … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 1 Prediction

Where (and How) is Trish? – A Missing-Person Combo
UPDATE #2: The NH Attorney General's office has confirmed that the remains found inside a washing machine pulled from Grant's Pond in Grafton are those of Trish Haynes. The testimony of the second spread that she was "in a wet place" and was possibly transported "over water" has turned out to be accurate, and the … Continue reading Where (and How) is Trish? – A Missing-Person Combo
Mueller vs. Manafort: End Game
UPDATE: Manafort was convicted on 8 counts but the jury couldn't reach agreement on 10 others so the judge declared a mistrial. This aligns with the impression from the reading that he would be partially exonerated, although the government can still choose to retry him so it could amount to no more than a reprieve. https://www.wmur.com/article/paul-manafort/22739733 With … Continue reading Mueller vs. Manafort: End Game
Where Is Mollie? – A Missing-Person Reading (Final Update)
UPDATE: The body of Mollie Tibbetts was found in a cornfield in rural Poweshiek County, Iowa. She was discovered "on a farm" as suggested in the reading, but was probably not detained or murdered by a resident. In an interview this afternoon, authorities said the suspect, an illegal immigrant, had lived in the area for from four to seven years. The … Continue reading Where Is Mollie? – A Missing-Person Reading (Final Update)
The “Whodunit” Rogue’s Gallery Spread
I spend quite a bit of time examining missing-person cases - both current and "cold" - and have encountered a few alternate situations where the police have a body but they don't have a suspect, who is actually the absent person. These victims don't qualify as missing, so neither of my spreads designed for that … Continue reading The “Whodunit” Rogue’s Gallery Spread
Tarot Euphemisms: A Work-in-Progress
If you've been following my "RWS storyboard" posts and have read any of my example readings, you're already aware that I make extensive use of metaphor and analogy when interpreting the minor cards of the tarot, often bringing in shared cultural, social, historical and literary references. The Thoth tarot, my mainstay for many years, offered … Continue reading Tarot Euphemisms: A Work-in-Progress

The case of Brandon Chicklis is progressing, with a young Massachusetts woman to be charged with his murder. No details of the investigation were provided, other than that he was allegedly murdered in her Ashburnham, MA home and dumped in New Hampshire. http://www.wmur.com/article/1-arrested-in-connection-with-killing-of-man-found-dead-in-rindge/22530232 The first three cards as interpreted in the original reading now come … Continue reading Missing-Person Update #2: Brandon
A Missing-Person Update: Brandon
I originally analyzed the disappearance of 20-year-old Brandon Chicklis in June, and noted that it didn't appear he was buried (he wasn't) but that he might be drowned (he wasn't that either). His body was later found on the side of a road in New Hampshire. https://parsifalswheeldivination.wordpress.com/2018/06/30/where-is-brandon-a-missing-person-reading/ But this case continues to get more interesting, … Continue reading A Missing-Person Update: Brandon
