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?

Gunne Sax

Granddaughter, I rescued
this dress for you.
Worn for my first wedding
when I could touch the sky
then sent in a tangled heap
to a Goodwill when the
threads of that marriage unraveled.

Refound in an Arcadia antique store,
and bought again
when you existed only as starlight.

You may not want this dry, dusty gown.
The serpent slithers through stories.

But I offer other, better hand-me-downs.
Truth in your bones.
Sparks in your speech.
And a temple to house
your own divinity.
