 |   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?  |

| Passion I saw the Grim Reaper once reflected in a mirror across from my patient's bed. My patient passed a moment later and his pet cockatiels began to sing. His passion was birds.

| Art SunTzu wrote "The Art of War". There is no art in war no dark beauty in ashes of olive trees no gifts in debris. The blood of innocents floods the streets. Survivors fashion coffins of boxes. Houses simmer with the secrets of smoldering hate. Mothers raise their arms to heaven and chant an ancient refrain: Make art, not war. Prompt: Art 15 lines Dark Goddess Tarot--XVI--Kali--Destruction |

| At Seventy-Two I have no further goals I wish to achieve, at sea-level I am aging more slowly. This is not like nihilism I believe but a veneration of all things lowly.

Here, our hearts are a confluence of a thousand wild roses. 12 lines Pholarchos Tarot---3--Empress----ecology not theology |
