 |   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?  |
| Saint Muirgein I am forgetful. The storm in the waves far below, I rise for sun, for air a sainted mermaid. Today is the feast day of Saint Murgan, an Irish mermaid. She is a saint of transformation. Pholarchos Tarot--6 of Wings--A still point for revelation.  |
| Water Birds I pray the Rosary of the Seven Rays. There are seven decades of beads, seven joyful mysteries, seven colors for the seven chakras. At each Ave today I offer prayer for a water bird. I pray for the night crowned herons, the osprey, anhinga, the odd Muscovy ducks, for swans, flamingos, sandpipers and gulls. Watching the egret till it falls from my sight line A psalm in motion. Pholarchos Tarot--6 of Coral--a gift of water. Author's Note: A haibun, combination of prose and a haiku.  |
| Surmount I can surmount terror and trial by earth but not a Soleimani fingering prayer beads. 24 syllables prompt:surmount Pholarchos Tarot--Ten of Spirals--Where are the lavish gardens for children to play in? Because this is such a hot-button political issue I expect some negative feedback. Carry on. I saw a picture of Soleimani with prayer beads--it inspired this thought.  |
| Epiphany In life we welter and writhe through rituals of height and descent falling to earth rising with dust. 24 syllables--prompt: welter Pholarchos Tarot--Eight of Coral--Let yourself fall. |
