 |   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?  |
| Baba Oh let me be Baba Yaga. I will scream in the trees, caper in my hut on chicken legs. With my mortar and pestle I will grind the bones of lying leaders and chew their entrails in my iron teeth. I will wash the feet of the resisters, my sisters. We will turn our backs and all that does not serve just cause.
