 |   My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you? |
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?  |

| Ethel Rosenberg I would like to have lived to wear a pink pussy hat and gone to that march. But I was collateral damage.. A communist, just a Jew, just a woman who had no secrets to sell.

They had to do it twice. I had no secrets to sell. I was just a wife and mother. I would have voted for the woman. 19 lines Prompt: write a poem from the point of view of a convicted criminal Dark Goddess Tarot--VII--Chariot--Ishtar---Go for it. Take bold action. |

That poem is a beginning. 11 lines Prompt: Use the last line from the nearest book at hand to begin your poem. From Ursula K. LeGuin's translation of the Tao Te Ching.

| Ritual I will dance to morning birdsong, the woodpecker's reveille. I will sing a song without words, thrumming of the honey bees I will pray to no lesser gods only to Great Mystery.

Rise up from your half shell heavy thighed, thick waisted and battle scarred. You remain Aphrodite, Urania and Porne. I am old and my belly sags but my arms are strong and I can still rock you.
