Journey Through the Tarot

 


Journey Through the Tarot
An Integrated System for Holistic Healing

A comparison of traditional Tarot cards to modern-day decks demonstrates how the Tarot is an integrated tool for holistic health that offers insights for personal growth and transformation through the use of symbols, archetypes, and allegories.

"This book is a true gem for both experienced tarot readers and beginners. Unlike a standard guide to tarot card meanings, this small and very readable volume adds a lot of context to tarot as a historical divination tool that adapts itself to modern-day readers. A delightful and informative book!" - Lana Tyehimba Touched by Tarot

Journey Through the Tarot is a gem for anyone looking to delve into the world of Tarot, and as a tarot-loving woman, I can't recommend it enough. This book goes beyond the basics and takes you on a deep exploration of the Tarot's power for holistic health and personal growth.

What sets this book apart is its thoughtful comparison of the traditional Rider-Waite deck to modern decks. It beautifully illustrates how the Tarot can be a versatile tool, using archetypes, symbols, and allegories to offer insights into various aspects of our lives.

As someone relatively new to Tarot, I appreciated the simplicity with which the author explains the system. It's not just about fortune-telling; it's about tapping into wisdom for healing on multiple levels - physical, emotional, energetic, intellectual, and spiritual.

The historical context and the insights into how to gain information from the cards make this book an excellent resource for both beginners and more experienced readers. The in-depth examination of the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, considering elements, numerology, and their potential for holistic healing, was truly eye-opening.

If you're looking to embark on a meaningful journey of self-discovery and holistic healing through the Tarot, this book is a fantastic guide. It's well-written, insightful, and has become a valuable addition to my Tarot collection. Thank you, Kayla!

Holding On


Holding On

I would have held on to

That burnt-out light bulb

For twenty years or more

If you had asked


I did lose the Queen of Hearts

If we meet

I'll have to take off my clothes


I returned the tombstone

Anti-apartheid Bear with

The leather feet

All the past

Treasures

Seed Ritual


Seed Ritual

Find some seeds - pumpkin, sunflower, poppy, wildflowers

Whatever floats your fancy

Hold them in your palm and whisper your wishes

Imbue them with your hot breath


Walk around your house, church, or favorite field

Clockwise or counter, notice what feels right

At each of the four directions (and the cross directions)

Throw your seeds, scatter them


To the wind that they may find fertile ground

To the ants to feed the hive mind community

To the squirrels and chipmunks stuffing their cheeks with abundance 

To the birds, who will fly into your dreams 


Invite in the rain 

Release any frustrations, cry 

Welcome the sun f

Feel a sense of energy begin to build.


Trust that you'll be able to weed out 

What is weak or ineffectual 

Focus and simplify 

Nourish your dreams 


As they unfurl from a mere thought to full manifestation 

Shelter your dreams - tell no one 

Until you see sure signs of growth,

Ready for assistance


Immune to criticism

 Of the naysayers

Just like the rose is immune

With its thorns.


Seeds of hope

Seeds of change.

Seeds of peace

And seed money


Flourish into abundance 

Benefiting all the creatures of the earth

This or something better now occurs 

For the greatest good


So mote it be. Blessed be.

It Took Me a Few Times


It Took Me a Few Times

To curl my tongue

Around your name

Encrypt

My minds script


Saying I meditate

Is like

saying I exercise


What form

How often

What does it bring you


We sorted

Plastic macro

Charismatic fauna

Into acrylic bins


I don't usually

Blurt out my story

But when I saw your

Pearlescent fingernail polish

I knew

I was safe

Grieving Ritual


Grieving Ritual

Find a small ring-sized cardboard box or fabric pouch

Fill it with a pinch each of rosemary, sage, lavender 

Write on slips of paper

Names of what has died

Friends, relationships

Parents, ancestors, pets 

Children, grandchildren,, miscarriages abortions 

The children you will never know.


Add photos, locks of hair, old threads

Decorate the box, seal it shut

Wrap it in pretty paper 

Add a paper or fabric bow, just not plastic 


Choose whether to

Burn it - 

Cast the ashes 

To the wind, into the sea


Flush it away


Bury it - plant some seeds on top

Forget-me-nots, purple pansies,  catnip


Find a running stream

Weigh it down with stones, add

A carved heart

The watch that had seen better times

Hidden Moon

 

Hidden Moon

I give her the name of the hidden moon -  David Whyte


For most of my life, I have hated being cold

Now I welcome every ounce of cool

Waking up, feeling the heat move from core to thighs

Prickles of sweat on my neck, upper lip, between my breasts

Rather than a flash more of a hot sw

Leaving me soaked


I imagine leaving a steaming eucalyptus sauna

On a cold winter night, a spark

Rolling my body in the snow

Like wrapping myself in a cloak of

Soothing lunar cycles, full and flushed

Drifting with the stars, back into restful

Content with the celestial

What is this veiled female form, the crone within

Protection Spell

Protection Spell

Tap the top of your head

Yes, you are thinking clearly

Now the third eye

See the protective bubble


Sing your name

Syllable by syllable

Listen to your name song

Feel the hum


Clap your hands

In front 

Behind

Create a sphere

Over and over again

Notice where you begin

And where you end


Listen to your heart

Safe in your chest

Comfortable in your ribs

Protected by your skin


Activate your willpower

Fill it with light

Choose to empower 

Rather than enable


Sink down into your belly

Trust your gut

All organs, all systems

Are working together


Don't be an amoeba

Evolve

Allow yourself to want more

Trust what you attract, desire


Yes, there will be some moths

As you Flame

All the more reason to

Use a clear chimney


Go down into your bones

Flex your hips and thighs

Wiggle your toes

Safe, secure, reassured


You have everything you need

It's already in your hands
