Day 24: Tarot Pg. 132 from Elsewhere, Vol 3 , from the story The Lady of the House of Love , by Angela Carter There is something about the Fool as he wanders off the cliffs edge wondering and in awe that draws me in I find him frequently on my journey The Empress and Emperor sit on either side of me Fire and Water Earth and Air they show me my oppposites and the importance of each And I've learned from the cards that reversals don't always mean ill fortune just a mirror image of what you percieve Each of their faces a facet of my voices speaking my subconcious truth through story They are the ancient ones walking hand in hand with humanity since our magnificent brains sensed deep down a soul So here in my pack I carry them with me lay out a spread What do you wish to reknow?

It also talks about paths being taken, one path of comfort and familiarity, the other one of surprise and exploration. The Volcano Speaks Don't talk to me of love my heart is too cracked to hold that liquor seeping out spilling on the floor And as an emotionally well balanced adult I'm expected rag in hand smile on face to wipe it all away whistling ready for life's next love but I'm not I'm a siege weapon of bile prickly and thorned achingly tired of kissing that frog and that frog expecting a gold star or a prince or a pat on the back good girl So don't talk to me of love not right now ...
