Wheel of Fortune

January 8, 2022

I have a collection of tarot cards. I have decided instead of pulling a random card from a deck I am going to concentrate on the Death card from individual decks.

I have thought about death a great deal over the course of these past 2 Covid years. I am 70 with co-morbidities and I work in healthcare. I was concerned enough that at the beginning of this plague my husband and I had wills drawn up.

Yesterday I learned that a member at the adult dementia day stay where I work had tested positive for Covid. And yes, I have been exposed. So far, asymptomatic, and of course I am fully vaccinated.

I am self-isolating this weekend just to be cautious, unlike most Floridians who don't give a rat's ass. I am home making Marcella Hazan's tomato, butter, and onion sauce.

I pulled the Death card from The Cook's Tarot. The message is actually positive--you are beginning a new cycle and discarding old ways of being.
I will remember this as I poor Marcella's rich and unctious sauce over pasta, and raise a glass of healing anti-oxidant red wine.

And today is National JoyGerm Day. So go spread Joy and not Covid!

Death--XIII--The Cook's Tarot--Embrace what life has to offer----including leftovers.

The Death Card is also associated astrologically with Scorpio--my Sun and Moon sign.
