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?

Planetary Roar

In the Book of Revelations
Jesus is called the Lion of Judah
and at the end of days
he will roar.
I do not deny
the spear, the cross, the shroud
but I hear a planetary roar.
Rock, water, sun, moon
are being stolen from us,
a trail of tears sweeping the Earth.
God promised Noah
the fire next time.
I hear the beginnings of a planetary roar.

Tarot of the Crone--XVI--The Tower--I am the Mother of Madness. When I speak, I scream. When I scream, things shatter.
I scream because things are wrong.

Monsters

There are evil beasts in our world.
They wear silk suits and speak smoothly.
They divide us and make us afraid.
But we the people have voices, too.
We must fight but , always with love.
We will not become what they are.
There is a light at the end.

me.

Tilting

Is the world tilting,
bending to justice?
The beasts of Antarctica
saw the solar eclipse
the ring of fire
ushered in by the Chinese New Year
and the Fire Horse.
Are the tides moving us
toward more love?
Let us slather each other
with mercy and compassion,
but yet remain edgy and salty.
The vaults of our hearts are infinite.
Let it pour.

Communal Roosting

I think it is time
for communal roosting.
Time to gather in
friends, neighbors, strangers
and nestle them in feather beds
piled with ancient, handmade quilts.
Or perhaps, I'll just go to the Methodist church
for kind people and communion
and to sing the old hymns.
I think John Wesley would like that.

Beast of Wands

In the end
all systems fail us.
Empires fall, new ones arise.
The doctors say there is no cure.
Loved ones die,
then so do we.
There are reports
of something on the other side.
So gather those whispered messages.
Proceed through the world
with feline grace.
Keep your senses open
and attend to the electric humming
in your body.
Proceed, till your time comes.

Tarot of the Crone--Beast of Wands--Cat--go for what you want with simple, natural strength
