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? |
Stars It's not a fever dream but stray shrapnel of a daydream. It's the dust of stars pouring out a joyous rap chorus. These chill far-flung galaxies shatter my chains of anxiety. I hover this night beneath the twinkling between doubt and certainty into the riverine flow of everything. Prompt: stars Pholarchos Tarot--8--Justice--Think for yourself---eloquent, original, true. |

Passion I saw the Grim Reaper once reflected in a mirror across from my patient's bed. My patient passed a moment later and his pet cockatiels began to sing. His passion was birds. I keep my Christmas tree up year round always adding new ornaments. When I pass it will go out feet first with me. People will say, "she had a passion for Christmas", In truth, I am lazy and it was a hassle to put up and take down. There will not be bird song. Prompt: passion 17 lines Dark Goddess Tarot--Eight of Water--Sedna--Inuit Goddess of the Ocean & Underworld--Going deep is not easy. Let it be worthwhile. |
