Tarot inspired territory where images are read, rhymed or just talked about
To help our whale friends (and because we could) we messed with the whalers and fooled them.
We appeared as a bolt from the blue and outsmarted them, we cut their virtual nets and got out intact.
Together, as a team, we taunted them, drove them mad and thus we threw magic seeds into their souls, on a good soil.
One of my favorite things in Tarot, especially Tarot de Marseille and similar, is “eye rhymes” – a kind of moving poetry in flowing images where one can follow similarities (“rhymes”), fill in the blanks with context and see the story unfold. Each time one looks one can see a different story. Is it past and future meeting in the present as two rivers meet in the ocean? Is it getting out of the shell and braving genuine direct experience to turn your world upside down? Is it a birth? A lifetime?
Or is it a COVID released by animals to turn everything on its head and suspend us in midair, inviting us to take a look at our world and ourselves in it??? That would be a remarkable story to tell in 9/12/2019 when I pulled the cards. That was when I took a class with Enrique Enriquez – a brilliant tarot reader, master teacher and an amazing genuine poet.
I had so much fun just pulling cards and reading, my baby moves and his fluid play. To protect my fragile ego I told myself that this method shall be secondary for me, perhaps to stretch my limits, a practice of sorts. What I didn’t know was that a curious seed was planted. My “upside down” side got the spotlight it was longing for. That too can be a plot in these three cards posted exactly a year ago.
To my mom
From the Variety show of life we choose a topic to explore, my mom and I. We pull the cards, as we would draw swords, freeing the bird. We watch it fly and follow the signs.
Card after card, spread after spread spins new challenges which we hit out of the ballpark. I always enjoy our communion.
