 |   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?  |
| Apple Eve's apple was likely a pomegranate juicy, fleshy, seedy but patriarchy wrote this story for it's own benefit. Lilith was Adam's first wife but too fierce and defiant men made her into a demon. I like to imagine Lilith and Eve hand in hand crude, curious, impudent pomegranate juice dripping down their faces, no mealy, wormy apple for them. 16 lines prompt: phot of an apple orchard 360 Degrees of Wisdom---Virgo 14----Everytime a baby is born, so is a grandmother |
| For Jill For everything that you've withstood could it be you've misunderstood that you have crashed into the wood? You are dying. There is such a thing as done for good. Please , stop trying. My best friend is dying. She is under hospice care and still refuses pain meds, help, things to provide comfort. Her iron-will is exhausting. |
| Ash Wednesday and V alentine's Day fall on the same day this year Heart Ash I want the priest to draw a heart on my forehead this Ash Wednesday this Valentine's Day. You may have passed by then. I will remember you with love and ashes. Gaian Tarot--15--Bindweed---Break free of what binds you. |
| Eyes Your eyes are clouded now from cataracts you refused to treat. But they were always clear, bright blue your inner eye penetrating, true. You cannot tell someone how to live. I cannot tell you how to die. I can only say. I love you with my eyes clouded with tears. 15 lines Prompt: Eyes Pholarchos Tarot--10 of Sparks--open your eyes to the lucid dream of it |
| Song The Ave Maria is a mantra my rosary beads a ribbon tethering me to Earth. Bird song is a prayer, too though without pity and shafts of sorrow. La Guadalupe chants, "Am I not your mother, what is there to fear?", but this veil of illusion and self-inflicted scars. Off key, I sing at sunrise. I break my chains. 14 lines Prompt: music Dark Goddess Tarot--3 of Fire--Circe-Goddess of Magic--Everything changes. Everything dies. |

| Chain Link I guard my heart behind a chain link fence hiding my achy cardiac flutter and everyday anxiety as the sand trickles down the hourglass. Yet should we meet eye to eye and agree to butcher shallow conventions and share our shadows I might spin a gossamer web behind that fence, a web feverishly transparent and shining. prompt; a spider web behind a chain link fence 13 lines Pholarchos Tarot--Trail of Wings--calm your frenzied mind |
