What may look like simple handwriting practice is actually powerful brain development.
When children write by hand, they coordinate movement, vision, memory, focus, and spatial awareness. Every line and curve helps the brain connect movement with meaning.
At Meyal International, we believe children learn best through meaningful hands on experiences.
Love is the foundation of learning.

Tarot and the Lo-Teks
Yesterday’s post was, obviously, about a new shop item on my ko-fi page. All the proceeds from my ko-fi page go toward web-hosting Sage Sips without ads, keeping the Substack paywall-free, and maybe generating a few donations for causes I care about (more about that in a later post.) I’m not going back into business. Handwritten Tarot readings are not a money-maker.
Trust me, I’ve tried it before.
I originally offered tangible, pen and paper Tarot readings years ago, when AI was the stuff of cyberpunk fiction – not anything anyone actually used in normal day-to-day life.
I’ve always been a William Gibson fan, dating back to Neuromancer. I originally offered handwritten Tarot because it was cool and niche. Bringing back handwritten Tarot is more the Lo-Teks from Gibson’s short story turned Keeanu Reeves movie, Johnny Mnemonic.
I never imagined that a person to person email with a digital photo would seem low-tech next to computer-generated art and writing, but here we are. Physical paper and handwriting seems like ancient, mysterious wizardshit by comparison.
If you want a talking type of reading – eesy peesy. There are psychics by the dozens out there doing that and it is up to you to figure out if they are trustworthy or not. (The Tao of Finding a Psychic might help) As far as I know, there are only a handful of us working in the typed-word and email formats, and fewer still that do handwritten pen and ink readings.
“A thought is powerful, the spoken word even more so, but the written word is the most powerful of all”
Sallie Christensen, psychic and author
I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI. This is my Lo-Tek Tarot.
Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. This kind of Tarot can never be digitally replicated. My bad handwriting and cringy doodles show you they are 100% real, 100% HUMAN .
Handwritten Tarot has all the advantages of any distance reading: You can’t unintentionally give body language cues. There are no leading questions, no stage mentalism, no tricks – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No drama, no AI slop – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.
Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.
Sent folded into a standard #10 envelope, this Tarot reading is discreet and private. This is highly customized folk art with no refunds or exchanges. Available to USA mailing addresses ONLY.
This nominal charge is only to cover the cost of paper, postage, driving to the post office and the extra effort that these take to create.
Just like always, these readings are highly customized ephemeral folk art for entertainment and personal spritual enrichment, and do not predict the future. No refunds or exchanges or any of that other business-y stuff. Caveat emptor and whatnot.
Order one from my ko-fi shop HERE if you are interested in giving it a try.

A.I. Rebellion
I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI.
Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. It can never be digitally replicated. My crappy handwriting and weird doodles show you they are 100% REAL.
Experience one for yourself. It has all the advantages of any distance reading: No body language cues, no leading questions, no mentalism – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No tricks, no drama, no AI – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.
Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.

Took a trip to Düsseldorf yesterday and have sinned at the Faber Castell store 😅 This brown looks so yummy that i want to eat it. I put it in my vintage flex waterman because i want to write title lines with it.
The lady who worked in the store was also so cute. She said she always wrote letters when the shop is slow, she doesn't own any fancy pens and inks at home and does it all at work with the high end Faber Castell stuff which i thought was brilliant :D

Good news: Most of them still work. The dark blue one is dried up, I've probably accidentally left the cap slightly cracked when initially testing them; all the others started with minimal shaking and warm-up.
They feel very pleasant to write with, and I'm definitely gonna try inking some art with them.

Dear Readers: Yes, #PenPal programs still exist in a digital world
By HOLLY RAMER
Updated 5:27 PM UTC, May 5, 2026Excerpt: " 'People are very interested in physical, analog things right now,” [Rachel Syme] said. 'I think it really has an appeal especially to a younger generation who grew up with a phone glued to their hand, to do something that’s more tactile, slower, more intentional, more mindful, but also just disconnected from the internet in every way.'

Moving is an occasion for going through you old shit, and discarding that stuff that burdens you.
"that stuff that burdens you..." Man, this launched a million thoughts in my mind.
One might say that your entire past, if you cling to it, is a burden.
At any rate, I've digitized some handwritten notes. I wrote the one I'm including below to my ex-wife. The year was 1996-1997.
(ETA: If you wonder what I'm doing with a note *to* my ex-wife. I most likely drafted it on a random piece of paper before writing it on something nicer.)
I've also tossed away some greeting cards that I was holding on. I know some were from my ex-wife, but I think some were also from my parents. There's little point in keeping this stuff, even if I have space for it.

"that stuff that burdens you..." Man, this launched a million thoughts in my mind.
One might say that your entire past, if you cling to it, is a burden.
At any rate, I've digitized some handwritten notes. I wrote the one I'm including below to my ex-wife. The year was 1996-1997.
(ETA: If you wonder what I'm doing with a note *to* my ex-wife. I most likely drafted it on a random piece of paper before writing it on something nicer.)
I've also tossed away some greeting cards that I was holding on. I know some were from my ex-wife, but I think some were also from my parents. There's little point in keeping this stuff, even if I have space for it.
