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? |

Not easily fooled, I am the Fool wearing feathers in my hair eager to begin again tumbling off cliffs. 18 lines Prompt: write a cheerful poem Dark Goddess Tarot--XI--Justice--Maat--Speak only what is true. |

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.

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 |

Silver Anniversary Love is as simple as string theory. Like Meghan and Harry, supersymmetry between two fundamentally different particles. We are gluon and gluino stuck together after all these years. A beam of light extending in five dimensions, length, width, breadth, time and space. Black holes colliding and then, and then, and then there is love. 17 lines--Romance genre Dark Goddess Tarot--IV--The Morrigan--Sovereignity--Never surrender what matters most. |
