My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is 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 in Kansas Anymore

Dorothy, that insipid child,
didn't know she was a witch
and held power all along.
In OZ, I would be the scarecrow.
Brainless, egoless
pure consciousness
with knees of straw
and not titanium.
I would sit cross-legged
on my cushion
surrounded by a golden road
of sunflowers.
Everything would be rainbow.
