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?

Prayer 2025

When I am too weary,
or too ill, or too muddled to pray
I go to the lake's edge and sit.
Not truly a lake, a man made retention pond
born twenty years ago.
But grandmother oak and grandmother cypress
hold and remember my pleas.
With brother egret and sister heron
I stretch and release,
I ruffle and settle.
My word for this year: intercommunication.
Is that not prayer enough?
