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?

Godmother

She gave me a gown and slippers,
a handsome prince,
eau de cologne
called Fairy Floss.

I am old now, my prince is dead.
I wear perfume
that is boozy
with sharp spices.

Cinder-Ella has gone to dust,
now Godmother
to gravitas
ever after.

What alchemy is this,
a bowered glade
of oak and Spanish Moss,
dew-clouded thoughts,
springtime spirits.

Bathetic

I revel
in the magick
of small things
and tiny, daily kindness.
Is this bathetic?
Bring it.

Scrying

Outside my morning window
a mourning dove is calling.
I check the bathroom mirror
and find the same crow's feet
and age spots beneath my
myopic blue-grey eyes.
I have no idea how I got here.
The Japanese believe
you wear the face
of one you loved in the past.
My soul pod must be small.
No ancient kings or queens,
just Slavic peasant cheekbones.
I didn't realize I had a blind spot,
till they (and life) blindsided me.


Tarot of the Crone--XVII--Star--Open your heart, wide as the night sky.
