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?

Ecology not Theology

I woke up happy for no reason today
sensing the eye of every species on me.
Embraced by a community of beings
our dialogue expands, deepens, nourishes.
I hold space for forest, leaf, fox, bear, eagle
and take plants to my brow, they speak in pictures.
There is a place for every language but mine.
Mushrooms deliquesce to black inky liquid
as galaxies implode, arise, and shapeshift.
Something lurks beyond grammar, beyond logic.
My dreams are happy for no reason tonight.

Legacy


Real witches always live at the edge of town,
my great great Granny had written down
for the non magickal you must confound.
You must always have chocolate around
for it shall erase anyone's frown.
Keep a kitty, orange, black and brown
one that speaks to you without a sound.
When you bake muffins, add spices you've ground
and you will become a witch of renown.
Great Grammy Jo's spirit is now unbound.
In non-ordinary reality she wears a crown.
