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? |

Baba Yaga's Cat I want to come back as Baba Yaga's cat and save all the young girls with flowers in their hair. The #metoo movement is not a fairytale. But I think that old, skinny witch will let me weave rainbows on her loom, to guide them home. There will be no pot of gold at trail's end, just safety, and sun and sun and sun. 14 lines Author's Note: Baba Yaga is a Slavic witch who may be evil, but just as well benign to those that are brave and pure of heart. In one tale Baba Yaga's cat helps a young innocent girl escape the witche's kettle. I think BABA knew all along. Tarot of the Crone--Grandmother of Disks--Homemaker--Build love into the world, sustain it with your hands. |
Dawn Is the pinnacle of man's evolution to have destroyed Mother Earth? At dawn, I search for birds. Tarot of the Crone--V-Tradition--Speak to the Ancestors--know where the roots grow. Let the heart turn to wisdom. |
