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? |
Magick works! For 21/2 years I have been using spells and curses with the intention to have the McNasty neighbors downstairs move away. On June 11th I started sprinkling black salt on their property per the recommendation of a YouTube video "Grimoire of the Modern Witch." On June 23rd said neighbors left a letter on our doorstep (we don't speak) stating that they would be moving in a short time. I certainly hope this is true! They are not good people despite their claims of love, light, and peace. No apologies for any of their egregious actions just statements of their superior spirituality. I still have sweet revenge oil to sprinkle with the ashes of their letter. My birthday is Halloween and so I have an affinity for witches. They live at the edges of their communities. Edges are the best places to discern the truth. They want to tell stories (spells) that work and actually change things! I want to be enchanted, charmed, spellbound. But I also want results! These McNasty's started as friends. But David and I have lost far better friends than them for infinitely less egregious actions than theirs. People slip in and out of our lives all the time. Pholarchos Tarot--6 of Coral--Sit at the water's edge, and fill a bowl with seawater to bathe in. Tell all about the Moon! She knows you know about her Magick. New moon tonight! |
Today is Kitchen Klutzes of America Day. I am not a gourmet cook, but not a kitchen klutz either. I read cookbooks like noveles, and like novels with recipes. I am currently reading a novel, "The Secret Book of Frida Kahlo", that is filled with recipes. Feist Frida was bisexual. For June, for Pride Month, and just because, I have decided to throw a party. I know that a banquet can be a magic potion, and that a well-prepared meal can be a magic spell. I will bring out of storage all the vintage china and glassware I have collected, and all the missmatched tableware. There will be mason jars of sunflowers and wildflowers on the tables. I will order dozens of tamales from the Mexican woman vendor at the farmer's market. I will make from Frida's book Pasta with Mussels, Oranges and Tomatoes. There will be delicious frozen margaritas, pitchers of sangria,and washtubs full of beer and Perrier. I will go to the local Hispanic bakery and buy massive quantities of Hispanic pastries. These will be served with glasses of dry sherry or tawny port. The music will be John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and the SunRa Orkestra. All guests must bring a poem they have written. It will be a solstice party, welcoming summer. Tomorrow night of the Full Moon. The guest list is unlimited---and everyone is invited. Let the magick begin! The Cook's Tarot--7of Cups---Everything can be seen as either a blessing or a curse. You choose. |
David and I continue to avoid the downstairs neighbors at all costs. A week ago David was attacked by our neighbor verbally and physically. We have filed a police report and have brought the situation to our HOA. That's what we could do in the outer world. Plus, I'm getting pepper spray. But on the inner, etheric plane----ah.......sprinkling extra strength valerian root extract, banishing oil, waiting for the black salt to arrive. Yes, I want these people gone. After this incident, and David wasn't hurt....I realized that both Dave and I were feeling traumatized. After a minor incident. It paused me to think about all of those who suffer severe trauma and abuse, sometimes daily. Justice isn't always forthcoming. And that's why some of us turn to the darker arts. And yes, I will pray that this neighbor gets help. But I still want them gone. Pholarchos Tarot--20--Judgement--Call in the 7th dimension, commune in every other language but your own. Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower By Rainer Maria Rilke Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine. In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there. And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I flow. To the rushing water, speak: I am. |
My husband David was assaulted, unprovoked, physically and verbally this morning by our downstairs neighbor. He intentionally came at David, we don't speak to these neighbors, accusing him of intentionally making noise and disturbing him yesterday. We have had major, negative issues with this neighbor and his girlfriend, and we have cut all ties with them and don't even speak to them. This man pushed my husband to the ground. Fortunately David was unhurt. We filed a police report just to be cautious. David did not wish to file charges, but this neighbor could have been charged with elder abuse, a felony, because David is 74. I am going to file for a restraining order. WTF is wrong with people? I want these people gone! I have tried spells and potions and still they remain. The card I pulled today from the Dark Goddess Tarot--Ten of Earth is AJA an African Earth Goddess. The card reads, "If there is bad blood between you and another, it is a good time to make peace. If the other has transgressed too severely, let the relationship go. Leave the other to ALA--seek people who are trustworthy. Well, there has been no relationship here for over 2 years. And I do want vengeance. But, I suspect that people like this will be their own undoing. But sprinkling a little valerian root can't hurt. It seems to bring out people's worst characteristics and they do themselves in. So be it!! |
