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?

Weather

As a child in Pittsburgh, I believed
it always rained on Good Friday
for the solemn Tenebrae service
and that was right and just
for my whole world was mourning.

This Good Friday, in Paris
it will be partly sunny,
and warm and humid in Florida.

At sunset, I will light a single candle,
and listen to Corelli's "Miserere"
and pray for rain to wash away
the acrid smell of smoke and char.


I am frequently astounded by the synchronicity of the Tarot. This morning, as I selected a card at random, I pulled XVI---The Tower--traditional decks depict a large tower in flames.

Tarot of the Crone--XVI--Tower--Whatever you have been holding back behind your teeth for too long---scream---and free your voice, and your soul.
