 |  My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you? |
I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you?   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?  |
Allegri's Miserere In the past my classical station played it frequently. But like everything else it rises and falls. The exquisite voices still soar and plummet through time and space. I have heard it live. I hear it in memory ensouled in the gyri and sulci of my brain. My clenched fists unfurl into praying hands. I walk through holy fire and touch the Mother's burning face. This is my mission, this act of contrition. 18 lines prompt: a poem about a song Tarot of the Crone--Three of Swords--Inspiration--Look for a light in the darkness. |

And I absolutely love getting a glimpse into how people's minds & inspiration work - who'd've thought you'd end up with a lovely piece about a bird from a picture of a restaurant 
This is the type of free verse that in my opinion suits Shadows & Light.
