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?

Daughter of the Desert

In the Negev
the Jahalin had a thousand words
for sheep and goats.
I cannot utter one for freedom.
I love the earthy ocher of my land.
Our homes are nylon, tin, and wood.
Our schools are made of mud and tires.
Men have walked on the moon.
Who will make a planet for me?
