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?

Talismans

Once upon a time
I was brave
and I was wise
but began practicing invisibility.
Neither here,
nor never truly there.
Still I gathered
memories and talismans,
feathers, stones, shells,
pressed flowers.
With these I work a spell,
a puzzle that clatters.
My sloshing heart intones,
I am old, I am tired.
Now, make me brave,
make me wise.
