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? |
TeaRose I like to wear TeaRose. Mild, creamy, soapy,velvety. Mother Mary and Grandmother Anne would approve. It smells of MayDay shrines and rosepetal jam. You can find it at WalMart. It goes to kindergarten graduations and BFF's 70th birthday celebrations like a strand of Barbara Bush pearls. When I am gone and there is an odor of roses remember me and the tearoses. 13 lines Prompt: a poem about a favorite scent Dark Goddess Tarot--Three of Air--Blue Dakini--open yourself to emptiness |
Blue Madonna Dolci's Blue Madonna sits at my desk eyes downcast, a silent banshee holding ancient knowledge potent and deep. When I cannot sleep I come to sit with her. Our unmasked fears, unnumbered sorrows rise like grey mist in the night. We both stay silent and remain with our pain. 13 lines--Write about your favorite painting. Dark Goddess Tarot--Nine of Air--The Banshee--Do not keep silent and still with your pain. |
