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?

La Santa Muerte

I have seen her twice.
Once, reflected in a mirror
hung opposite a dying patient's bed.
The first time, as a girl of ten
walking alone on a neighborhood street at dusk.
I did not know her then.
She is not a mythical creature
but a citizen of non-ordinary reality.
I have learned that she belies our belief
that we are in control of anything,
that, in the future, we will figure it all out.
Our ashes are a reckoning.
But then, there are constellations.

Prompt: Write about a mythical creature
