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?

Full Pink Moon--Earth Day 2024

There is muck
under the bridge
under the sky.
Sly, secretive slugs
tell stories of the sea.
Cracks and fissures
in the Earth, in our minds
draw chthonic monsters
to our sleep.
Dream deeply under
this Scorpio moon.
Shall we dream together?

Stripes

The flag is upside down today.
the stripes black, broken lines.
the stars X.s
on a field of blood.
My ancestors, my divines
shudder under this banner.
I rage at the orange creation
responsible for this desecration.
He wallows in evil
and wakes in shame.
My memory is long,
these stripes will not fade.

Prompt---stripes

360 degrees of wisdom--Cancer 1--If you want a symbolic gesture---don't burn the flag--wash it.

Faith

I believe that breath
is a prayer
YAh--in WAH--out
my bones, my blood
are sacred creations.
The curve of the sky,
the turtle's shell
all that slithers, roots,
shakes and nibbles
are my relations.
Seeds are spells,
constellations of divine love.

Prompt--Faith

Fool

I, a fool
have one rule,
always follow your dreams to the end of the line.
Spontaneity, synchronicity are mine.
Ecology, not theology is my creed.
Mother Earth transcends, fulfills, heals every need.
Watch and wait.
Heaven's gate.
