Thinking About New Tattoos

Aleph on my right wrist / Tav on my left wrist

This pairing creates a living meditation on beginnings and endings, unity and fulfillment, and the divine arc of existence, inscribed on the body. Here’s what it can represent:

✡️ Aleph (א) – Right Wrist

•   Symbolizes: Divine breath, creation, potential, unity with the ineffable.

•   Placement on right hand: The right side is traditionally associated with mercy, giving, and spiritual action in Kabbalistic thought.

•   Interpretation: A reminder to begin each act with sacred intent and awareness. To create consciously. To breathe in divine unity.

✡️ Tav (ת) – Left Wrist

•   Symbolizes: Completion, truth, the mark or seal of divine fulfillment.

•   Placement on left hand: The left side is traditionally associated with judgment, introspection, and receptivity.

•   Interpretation: A reminder to complete what one begins, to act with integrity, and to accept endings as sacred closures.

🔄 The Meaning Between Them:

Wearing them together forms a living arc — from Aleph to Tav, just like Alpha and Omega in Greek, or the entire journey of being. It’s as if the arms themselves become:

•   A sacred scroll,

•   A balance of beginnings and ends,

•   A conduit of divine cycles: inhale (right/Aleph) → exhale (left/Tav); act → reflect.

Dark Poutine & Supernatural Circumstances

by

I’ve been spending most of my time working on my award winning Canadian true crime and history podcast, Dark Poutine. I’m pretty proud of the stories we’ve covered and are humbled by the success that we’ve had. The show has covered stories from coast to coast about a variety of dark subjects. We have mixed emotions about the fact that we don’t see any end to the stories we can share. Here are the episodes we’ve published so far.

I also co-hosted the first 90 episodes of Supernatural Circumstances. Check out episodes below:
