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?

Notre Dame--April 15, 2019

I was a silly, feral
young woman in Paris,
looking for romance, adventure,
throwing back cognac in the bars
dressed in jeans and boots.
I barely glanced at the Cathedral,
though today I cry,
and pine for a second look.
Worms will cover us all someday
though her stone gargoyles
may still stand.
The Madonna of the World is weeping.

Water School

My astrologer says
I have lots of water.
Moon, Sun, Mercury in Scorpio,
my ascendant Aquarius, the water bearer.
I float through this life,
and perhaps, the next.
Tadpole becoming bufo toad.
At night, I lie awake
listening to the pond chorus
gleaning lessons
from the water school.


Tarot of the Crone--0-Fool--Becoming formless and timeless is what you need to create a new future.

A meander

wounded healer,
I weep for all.

Old Mermaid Sanctuary

A vision become real,
the Old Mermaid Sanctuary
trumps DisneyWorld.
The tyranny of nature rules here.
No lies, no despicable deceptions.
There are ancient shells in the Wash,
jackrabbits, bobcats napping in the grasses,
a carpet of desert wildflowers.
Silver-haired Kim and gentle-eyed Mario
welcome you, invite you to play.
And all the Old Mermaids will sing you to sleep.


Tarot of the Crone--Ten of Wands--Transformation--I went as far as I could go--and then went farther.

Song

Once upon a time
when womyn were birds
dawn was filled with songs
praising dirt, rock, sun,hands,bread.
At dusk, the womyn beat their wings
to cool the air
their voices rising
in cradle songs to sorrow.

Baba

Oh let me be
Baba Yaga.
I will scream
in the trees,
caper in my hut
on chicken legs.
With my mortar and pestle
I will grind the bones
of lying leaders
and chew their entrails
in my iron teeth.
I will wash the feet
of the resisters,
my sisters.
We will turn our backs
and all that does not serve
just cause.

Tarot of the Crone--Seven of Swords--Imagination--I have the power to travel along roads I have not seen.

Baba Yaga is a witch of Slavic mythology
