 |  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?  |
| Numbers My mother's brother ran the numbers. His never hit. We had a three story house with a stoop. He lived on the second floor in a room littered with white paper strips. The woman who rented the third floor had a ouija board. The planchette would glide across the surface. How many children would I have? Five? Six? In winter my mother strung seven lines in the cellar to hang the baby's diapers. She always smelled of Clorox and Tide. She didn't play the numbers. But in summer, after the streetlights blinked on we all played Crazy Eights. She passed forty years ago. She liked the Ace of Hearts. Dark Goddess Tarot--Ace of Air--Nemesis--be honest with your word. |

And I absolutely love getting a glimpse into how people's minds & inspiration work - who'd've thought you'd end up with a lovely piece about a bird from a picture of a restaurant 
This is the type of free verse that in my opinion suits Shadows & Light.
