Incense of the day: Balsam The New Moon is a traditional time for divination. Try this divination game I call Liar's Tarot. It is a great activity in or out of ritual for a group meeting on a New Moon. You'll be surprised by the wisdom it imparts. Ground, center, and merge as a group. Do an invocation asking for wisdom. Shuffle the cards. Now each person takes a card and does not look at it. Hold the card up to your forehead facing out. Everyone sees your card except you. Now, starting with the person at your left and going around clockwise, each person reads your card for you. It might be that some people in the group know tarot and others do not, but everyone should read. Tarot lends itself to this sort of spontaneous, I-don't-know-what-I'm-talking-about divination, which is often effective and meaningful. Each person will receive multiple readings, all the way around the circle. After all readings are done, look at your card. Meditate on the card tonight. You might want to take notes on the reading before you go to bed. This is your card and your reading for the next two weeks, until the Full Moon. Walk with it, think on it, and let it seep into your being. |
