 |  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?  |
| STENCH There is but one thing of real value--to cultivate truth and justice, and to live without anger in the midst of lying and unjust men. Marcus Aurelius Democracy turns to fascism step by secret step. Eat the rich people shout but that won't stop our demolished freedoms crumbling. What legacies are we leaving? Can you smell the stench of the lies? In the morning I rise shaking. Existential dread floods my chest. I am not an immigrant. I am married, and straight. I am past child bearing age. But I am afraid and tremble for all. What scam justice is this? Do you smell the stench of his lies? So I go to the rivers and I go the trees. I pray to the stars and search for good omens. I rise to protest and sleep if I can. I can smell the stench of their lies. 23 lines prompt: Write a poem in the BOP form. Gaian Tarot--15--Devil--Bindweed--Someone is playing power games,resulting in domination and control. |

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.
