I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you?    How to Read the Tarot Begin by brewing a cup of tea, a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile, this is after all, your future. A reading at the dark of the moon is best, before the night creatures crawl and bad humours fill the air. Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif, and no reversals. Hold a question in your heart, shuffle the cards and place them on the table. Choose only two. Like the ancient Israelites, these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm, black and white, yes or no. Isn't that all you were asking?  |

| January 23, 2022 Today's card is from the Dark Goddess Tarot---La Santa Muerte--the Mexican Goddess of Death. I work in an adult dementia day stay and bought "faith bracelets" kits thinking they might be an OK arts and crafts project. I decided they were too complicated for most of our members to finish. I gave them away to co-workers and made one for myself. There are 7 beads---yellow for light (God created light). green for the trees and plants, blue for the seas, white for purity, red for the blood shed, and black for death. There is a clear bead, for how are lives would be if we followed God's mandates. I am only a nominal Christian, more attuned to Mother Mary, but choosing to wear my bracelet to honor Her. I believe in ecology not theology and Mama Mary is the earth's body and heart. Also, for some inexplicable reason I have been thinking about the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. I grew up in Pittsburgh and know that Fred Rogers "Mr. Rogers" was a graduate and his missio was children's television. I have found that they do offer on-line continuing education classes. The next class coming up is about finding beauty in the world. I believe the classes are chiefly for ministers and religious, so not certain if this would be usedul to this "nominal" Christian. But sometimes you have to follow your heart's weird promptings. Thich Naht Han's comment on death--resonated with me. The Goddess Tarot--XIII--Death--Santa Muerte--Death is life's destiny.   |
