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?

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.
Love is a tree and grief
the fruit that it bears.
Meet me in the tall grass
behind the house of worship.


Pholarchos Tarot--6--The Lovers--The waters of love dissolve your mold.

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).
You drive me through impossible terrains
in this quantum school of life.
Thank you for this freedom.
Thank you for this garden.


Pholarchos Tarot---7--Chariot---Make sure your horses are going in the same direction.

Meditation

Inhale for 3
Hold for 6
Exhale for 9

If you know the mystery of 3-6-9, you know.


Inhale for 3
Hold for 6
Exhale for 9

You are in a ritual cave
moist and warm with firelight.
You are here to negotiate your rebirth.


Inhale for 3
Hold for 6
Exhale for 9

Contemplate the structure of chlorophyll.
Contemplate the structure of hemoglobin.

Inhale for 3
Hold for 6
Exhale for 9

Rise and map your own mystery.

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.
I am moving into sloth and snail time,
Burying thoroughly modern Millie
And resurrecting ancient Annie
That’s my Easter story and I’m sticking to it.
Dark GoddessTarot—IV—Sovereignty- The Morrigan—don’t waste your intentions on petty disputes




I wasn't going to put the NaPo wriMo posts in my blog. But as they are Tarot inspired I decided I would.

David and I were in a car accident on Sunday. Car is totaled, I am banged up and bruised, Davis is okay. I am off work for a week because of any pain with movement. Fortunately no broken ribs and we are both alive.


Pholarchos Tarot--9 of Coral--Music opens the heart of this great gathering. The carnival of your best wish unfold across the hills. Dreams do love us to completion.

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.

The Omen days conclude today with the feast of the Epiphany. From the Saint's Tarot I pulled St. James the Greater---King of Staffs. This will apply to December 2023. He is associated with journeys, the purpose of our destination. I hear the magi's caravan bells as a write C = M + B + 2023 on my doorstep. I am seeking the Great Aha!

Yesterday's card for November 2023 was 9 of Fire from the Gaian Tarot. I am fire and light. I am flesh and bone.


Blessed Epiphany!





Epiphany 2023


Comet C,
Epiphany touchstone
help me to open and channel time.

Within me
rules both heaven and hell.
Serial sky traveler, guide me.

Here inside
I am fire, light, flesh, bone,
urgently waiting my great AHA!

Author's Note: Comet C/2022E3, not visible since Neanderthals walked Earth may be visible in our skies this January.
