Knight of Cups - Terra Volatile Tarot
40.

A midsummer evening’s rêverie: “Fading fears, vanishing vanities, I stand openly without a sentry, as a heartbeat nears, pulsing tenderly.”

The Ace of Swords - Terra Volatile Tarot
39.

Quiet not the passions—Unanswered, they rage, neglected, they cage, until your own flesh is ashen.

The Tower - Waite Smith Tarot
38.

What do we sow that keeps turning one another into fumes? Wouldn’t we rather meet singing our mutual bloom?

Moon Phases - Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
37.

Moon reflecting Sun. Earth touching Sky. Heart seeking One. Human asking Why.

The Hierophant - Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
36.

He shows the way to those asking. The good teacher is not professing. He answers in the dark, voices after their own spark, lighting the footsteps that lead out of the depths, until the seeker is ready to depart — venturing beyond into unknown parts.

Devotee of Wands - Tarot of Delphi
35.

Who is the sentry guarding the mystery of thy beingness? What is it protecting from wider awareness?

Self - Supra Oracle

33.

L’instant s’est ouvert, il m’a avalé; Demain et hier se sont dispersés; Le temps d’une prière, me voilà contenté…

Ace of Cups - Tarot de Marseille Jean Dodal
32.

The real and the unreal everywhere intertwine, for amidst deception the sincere also arises. And when of truth there is no sight, remember that always it emerges beckoned by time.

Ace of Cups - Tarot de Marseille Jean Dodal
31.

Reason thinks it owns reality. Yet how that order sinks under scrutiny. Open up to thy watery knowing, it allows true clarity.

Bateleur - Tarot de Marseille Jean Noblet
30.

What is the truth of my being? Am I atomic happenstance or a creator king? A random dance or a god singing? And is the one daring the inquiry gazing into immortality?

Tarot of the Imagination
29.

Everywhere one may see, control attempted desperately, but every edifice of authority meets its end inevitably.

Ace of Swords - Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
28.

The vision pierces through. Commit and witness the new!

The Hermit - Tarot de Marseille Jean Noblet
27.

Where there is little silence, much is missed. Of your own words make an absence, it allows a bliss.

Aether - Supra Oracle
26.

In the gentle yearning of the morning, the invisible comes…

The Sun - Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
25.

The birthed sun brings forth a light, sustaining everyone and ending the night.

Tarot de Marseille Jean Dodal
24.

Is there even an instant, in which one may find, the synchronous to be asleep? Or is it us that travel the moments, binding our minds, to what lays above the deep?

7 of Swords - Tarot de Marseille Jean Noblet
23.

Thy mind and speech, gather and wield!

The Fool - Tarot de Marseille Jean Noblet
22.

Coursing within thy veins, is a blood thy kins would declare strange. But from such claims, allow no stain upon urges that bear thy true name.

Moon Cards - Pagan Otherworlds Tarot
21.

Wielding the potency of the apogee — Arise anew, again, and be.

The World - Wild Unknown Tarot
20.

In the swirling vastness, where all is limitless, my eyes they open and my heart it glows. Every desire deserves a birth, I know!

The Magician - Waite Smith Tarot
19.

Another breath, another opportunity for magic.

Threads of Fate - Delphi Tarot
18.

What is it that allows or prevents, beckoning us onward or requiring that we mend? I look at my hand and wonder, if the threads that it holds I can somehow befriend.

7 of Cups - Delphi Tarot
17.

The waters have murmured and the seas are howling, higher they rise yet who is reckoning while blinded or frightened and warnings scorned as lies…

Ace of Swords - Waite Smith Tarot
16.

The sword of consciousness pierces through material density. To the gods of matter it kneels not obediently!

10 of Coins - Golden Tarot
15.

Life’s pleasures each day abound, every moment has a secret asking to be found. And while humans play in the garden of Earth, a magic is busy everywhere giving birth.

The Wild Unknown Tarot
14.

At the broken hour, leave for higher ground. In the trial by fire, your true self will be found.

Judgement - Tarot of Delphi
13.

In leaving the known behind, in creating oneself anew, the way may be hard to find, and the familiar forever lures you, but in the absence of clarity, in the absence of knowing how, it is not necessary to know the whole story — it is enough to trust self in the now.

The Lovers - Zombie Tarot
12.

Grab my heart and kiss me, let’s never part from this sweet folly.

The High Priestess - Zombie Tarot
11.

She knows of human fears, that by day or night always appear. Listen to her counsel, for she guides through the confusing and the frightful.

8 of Cups - Etruscan Tarot
10.

The missing is deeply felt. Despite risk, leaving is tempting. What has been, has seeped. What could be, is calling.

Son of Wands - The Wild Unknown Tarot
9.

Yesterday I had a visit from a fire friend. His energy is all flames and can’t be contained. It sparks and spews in so many hues — don’t you dare temper his game!

The Hermit - Waite Smith Tarot
8.

Often these days “The Hermit” appears as imagery of Winter’s inward gaze. And now proceeding into the season’s mysterious depth, the inner jewels that are found gently amaze.

The Wheel of Fortune - Waite Smith Tarot
7.

More of yourself than is known, sparks into being all encounters. From where your own shifting wind has blown, you would do well to remember.

Strength - Tarot of Delphi
6.

When belief in self is lacking, and from the cliff you are hanging, summon that trust from within, there it lies eager to be emerging.

6 of Wands - The Wild Unknown Tarot
5.

Rise from the fray; Into radiance have your whole being sway!

The Empress - Waite Smith Tarot
4.

The morning frost greets our waking bodies with calm beauty. Beneath the busy-ness nature reigns quietly.

The World - Waite Smith Tarot
3.

Such is our nature that perfection is but illusion. Never truly do we stop changing, always are we becoming.

3 of Wands - Waite Smith Tarot
2.

The paths are many, choices aplenty. Remain open and wonders are sure to blossom. And even when we shut down, opportunity again comes around.

The Hermit - Waite Smith Tarot
1.

Take a torch and alone venture into the shadows. There you will find blossoms of which nobody knows.
