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?

Mother Tree

My doppelganger is a mother tree
and a banyan most specifically.

Supportive embrace of the wood wide web
mycorrhizal fungi and all are fed.

The Tree of Life is about belonging
the nesting birds and the morning calling.

Lichens writing missives in her soil
cultivate magic instead of toil.

Mother Tree is not a stable creature
her cracks and crevices are my teacher.

Her dreaming is aligning a new birth
a world of rapture ,playfulness and mirth.

So we must meet her here among her roots
inside this house of worship seeking truth.
