 |  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?  |
| 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. 14 lines Dark Goddes Tarot--XVI-Destruction--Kali--Destruction can be slow and grinding as well as violent and sudden. Get on with it and get out from under or be dust. Prompt: title of poem Mysteries of the Night |
Co-Presient There once was a President Musk that caused us to scream WTF. He has fourteen kids all ego and id. Let's immolate a cybertruck. 5 lines Form & prompt: A Limerick Sabian Oracle--Gemini 24--We live amid surfaces, and the true art is to skate well on them. Skating on thin ice. |
| Sign Me Up Sign me up for the great human HOWL. The secret is out. We will dance in the rain, twist and shout, shatter glass ceilings, organize flash mobs, pollinate our dreams. We will huddle in tightly knit clans, shred our threadbare habits, drum till the earth shakes. Sign me up for the HOWL. 13 lines Prompt--picture of a woman dancing in the grass with an umbrella The Sibyls Oraculum--Inceptum--Initiative--Prepare your mind to move. Do not stand still for any reason. |
| 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. |

And I absolutely love getting a glimpse into how people's minds & inspiration work - who'd've thought you'd end up with a lovely piece about a bird from a picture of a restaurant 
This is the type of free verse that in my opinion suits Shadows & Light.
