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?

Into the Woods

I went deep into the woods today,
further than I have ever been.
I flung away the ridiculously heavy,
sweaty red velvet hooded cloak.
I stood naked as Eve
before Jehovah told her it was shameful.
I had forgotten the bliss
of my own skin.
I began to roar,
nay HOWL.
I felt prickles on my scalp.
The mother wolves
joined my chorus.
I will never believe
that old, damn fairytale again.
