 |  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?  |
Feast Day Today is the Magdalene's feast day. Peer behind patriarchy's locked door. You will glimpse the secret of secrets. God has a thousand feminine names. She is hidden beneath battle skins. Dragons guard their illusions behind locked doors. Here in the clearing, Great Mama churns. Come to the fringes. Become a cradle matriarch. Stir the pot. We will have a party. Today is the Magdalene's feast day. 13 lines prompt: a locked door Sibyls Oraculum--Justitia/Justice---The court is in the heart. |
Allegri's Miserere In the past my classical station played it frequently. But like everything else it rises and falls. The exquisite voices still soar and plummet through time and space. I have heard it live. I hear it in memory ensouled in the gyri and sulci of my brain. My clenched fists unfurl into praying hands. I walk through holy fire and touch the Mother's burning face. This is my mission, this act of contrition. 18 lines prompt: a poem about a song Tarot of the Crone--Three of Swords--Inspiration--Look for a light in the darkness. |
Questions & Answers They say live the questions. Love is always the question. Love is always the answer. Love is always the action. This beautiful, fantastic life is always the question. Life is always the answer. 7 lines Prompt: write a 7 line poem with 7 syllables per line Pholarchos Tarot--Queen of Sparks--Intent is as important as action. |
July 4, 2025 Lady Liberty sends regrets, no party this year. Her skin flayed her eyes haunted. Across the river she hears the death rattle of freedom, the shredding of the Constitution. Little ripples from tiny pebbles thrown at monsters miss their mark again, again. Was this on your radar? 12 lines Prompt: a set up for a celebration Sabian Oracle--Aries 12--a flock of wild geese--Birds of a feather flock together. |

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.
