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? |
l Grief They started paving Paradise before I arrived and continues now, unchecked. Too much people, cars, an explosion of concrete. Despite red tide, sargassom, storms magnolias and poincianas still bloom and yesterday the Gulf startlingly blue green. And me, still here a stranger in spoiled Paradise. Pholarchos Tarot--8--Justice--Learn to hear what's far away and translate it into words. |
For Billy L. Let us praise loss as we roll back the stone from the tomb of our hearts. Our beloved dead are still here in the air, the clouds, the flowers.

Happy Birthday, Honey It seems the joyous stars fell at my feet when we met our body steam rising like sixteen year olds (I was fifty).

NaPoWriMo—Day 5-2023 Temptation I howled at the moon last night but quietly to not disturb the neighbors. I told La Luna I am done with keeping up and moving on.

St. Patrick A worm is not quite a snake, but March has the Full Worm Moon, and St. Patrick's Day. They say Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland. I say he drove out the old pagan ways and the Great Mother Goddess. Patriarchal Patrick was matriphobic and ophiophobic. I will wear green On March 17, but not for Patrick. I will be in the garden my feet in the mud underneath star fall, howling at the moon and drinking green beer. Pholarchos Tarot--7 of Coral--Make a choice dictated by your soul's requirement. |
