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? |
St. Patrick A worm is not quite a snake, but March has the Full Worm Moon, and St. Patrick's Day. They say Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland. I say he drove out the old pagan ways and the Great Mother Goddess. Patriarchal Patrick was matriphobic and ophiophobic. I will wear green On March 17, but not for Patrick. I will be in the garden my feet in the mud underneath star fall, howling at the moon and drinking green beer. Pholarchos Tarot--7 of Coral--Make a choice dictated by your soul's requirement. |

I am in Facebook jail for 2 days. The comment in response to a question: What would you do if you received a MyPillow for Christmas. I said I would burn it with an effigy of Trump. Apparently that goes against their non-existent community standards. I guess they can't tell sarcasm from reality. I have of course often thought of leaving that platform, but I have contacts that I would rather not lose out there in internet land. Maybe no more political comments. Sheesh! Though I have left Twitterville because of the Musk(rat). |
