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?
It's important with coffee. Ethiopian is different from Kenyan and Costa Rican is not even close. Within CR certain high mountain areas have the very best coffee beans.
I mentioned "The Wheel of Time" (a related concept) in my blog today.
This is an absolutely beautiful poem 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
The goddess Fortuna
cares not for arete or cnota.
Her angst is not soothed
with consolations of philosophy.
She spins her wheel.
Today, the low are high,
tomorrow the tale changes.
So we ride life's vinyl groove
to our final fate.
The needle sticks,
one song
one song
one song.
arete--Greek for excellence cnota--Polish for virtue
Dark Goddess Tarot--X--Fortuna--take the ride for all it's worth
