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?

Mysteries of the Night

The embers in the grate fade
to a glimmer.
I pray to be dreamed
by something larger than myself.
Kali-Ma arrives,
wild. ferocious, dipped in blood.
In this moment,
I sing to the Beloved,
to the mysteries of the night.
Ma, make me strong.
Ma, make me fearless.
Ma, keep me free,
Ma, may I not faint from sorrow.
I keep the Mary light burning.
