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?

Faith

I believe in Our Lady of Ash,
and all the Black Madonnas
known and unknown.
I believe in Marian apparitions
sublime and ridiculous.
When I wake at 2:22 AM
I know it is Divine Mother
inviting me to explore darkness.
I pay homage to icons, ancient and modern.
I pray with rosaries of plastic beads,
Job's tears seeds, and pearls,
an umbilical cord
tethering me to Earth.
I am an optimist,
but I worry a lot.
I do not tell my grandchildren this.
