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?

King of Coral


My father was a water sign.
Full fathom five my father lies
his bones are made of coral.
A cluster made of coral becomes a man.
The corals spawn in unison
by the flux of the August full moon.
I can hear the King singing.

Mother Tree

My doppelganger is a mother tree
and a banyan most specifically.

Supportive embrace of the wood wide web
mycorrhizal fungi and all are fed.

The Tree of Life is about belonging
the nesting birds and the morning calling.

Lichens writing missives in her soil
cultivate magic instead of toil.

Mother Tree is not a stable creature
her cracks and crevices are my teacher.

Her dreaming is aligning a new birth
a world of rapture ,playfulness and mirth.

So we must meet her here among her roots
inside this house of worship seeking truth.

Mystical Stitches

I took your baby blanket
from the cedar chest
And cut into six equal pieces.
A piece for me, for you, your four children.
I am binding the frayed edges
With a blanket stitch
In the center I embroidered
A mystical sigil for protection.
You can carry the frayed fabric
In your pocket
And always know
I will always carry you in love.

Datura

Datura petals
spiral open to blossom
in the night
with an intensely floral transmission
of honeysuckle and musk.
animalic narcotic perfume.
A flowery pheromone
to float away on.

Haunted


I am smoke haunted,
the bitter, acrid scent
of my mother's cigarettes
wafts without warning
and brings me to my knees.
I do not pray
at her long buried remains
but honor just this
a wisp of ash and nicotine.
Even this makes numen.


Pholarchos Tarot--XVII--The Star--Your love makes numen.

Gin

This my drug of choice
a very dry martini
up, with more olives

A martini glass
in hand, I am a grand dame
sip two, no lady

Mind and tongue go numb
chaos goddess emerging
from stony moonshine

Sorry...not sorry

I am writing to tell you
that the new neighbors
are a blessed miracle.
They don't have a guru
nor even a messiah it seems.
I hope the hexes
caused no permanent harm,
especially the chicken feet one.
Though, in my defense
I only used plastic ones.
The mini Marian shrine
I made you for Christmas
sits on my nightstand.
I chant my Aves before sleep.
Well, karma is a bitch,
so peace, love, and good-bye.

Thrifty Witchery

I didn't really need
the "Thrifty Witchery" book.
I already own a rusty, broken blade
found in a car lot
and an imperfect Tarot deck
that shuffles just fine.
My husband brings me street treasures
and the grandkids painted stones.
The sidewalks are full of oracles
enough for my powdery manifestations.
