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? ![]() ![]() |

Violets for Her Furs I asked Divine Mother, in this burning, fractured world, "What should I do, where should I go?'. STAY, she said. I will stay for spring's wildflowers in Florida's fields, wetlands. I think she will like best the tiny common blue violet so moist and low to the ground. I will stay and wrap Our Mother in violets. 14 lines prompt: anticipating spring No oracle card--violets are gentle and healing--Violets for Her furs is an old jazz song. |
