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?

Dandelions

I fashioned a garland
of dandelions
placed it on my altar
to the Queen of Heaven.
She prefers weeds to pearls
but sees perfection in both.
In time the flowers will vanish
scattering my prayers with their seeds.
I have named
the turtles in our pond
and the tiny fish they feed on.
Perhaps, it is all prayer.
