The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera

Draw for April 4, 2017
Active Influence: Hela/Death
Rune: Inguz/Fertility
Hidden Influence: Jarnsaxa/Queen of Swords

Hela is here to tell you that, whatever is over, it really is over. Freyr (in Inguz) brings the creativity to celebrate your rebirth, and Jarnsaxa is here to keep you focused on taking action and moving forward. A lot is going on, and there is much to be done; do it with joyful awareness of your new goals and dreams, and focus solely on what is ahead. The past is dead and gone; the future lies before you, bright and shining.

Daily Poem: The South ~ Wang Chen

The South
~ Wang Chen
Translated from Chinese by Arthur Waley
(I was unable to find a web page referencing Wang Chen. If you know of one, please enlighten me!)

In the southern land many birds sing;
Of towns and cities half are unwalled.
The country markets are thronged by wild tribes;
The mountain-villages bear river-names.
Poisonous mists rise from the damp sands;
Strange fires gleam through the night-rain.
And none passes but the lonely seeker of pearls
Year by year on his way to the South Sea.

The Giants' Tarot, Raven Kaldera

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera

Draw for April 3, 2017
Active Influence: Sinmora/Queen of Wands
Rune: Othala/Inheritance
Hidden Influence: Skadi/Justice

Okay, so Sinmora and Othala both return from Saturday’s draw, in the same position—but at least Othala is upright this time. In place of Saturday’s card of Loki & Thor, Skadi brings a serious undertone to the proceedings today. Justice is served, cold and crisp; the non-tangible ancestral inheritance plays out in unexpected ways today. Sinmora meets Skadi’s ice with Her own heat, and the reaction gives you creative energies to channel into the new opportunities which arise once the past has been set to rest.

Daily Poem: How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear ~ Edward Lear

April 1, 2017 | Filed Under Poem for Hela | Comments Off on Daily Poem: How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear ~ Edward Lear

In honor of the playful spirit of April 1st, a poem from the delightful Mr. Lear is in order. If you must play jokes today, please do so from a place of kindness. Cruelty is not funny.

Al Stewart has a wonderful musical version of this poem as well, which you can listen to on his YouTube channel.

How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear
~ Edward Lear

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,
Who has written such volumes of stuff.
Some think him ill-tempered and queer,
But a few find him pleasant enough.

His mind is concrete and fastidious,
His nose is remarkably big;
His visage is more or less hideous,
His beard it resembles a wig.

He has ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers,
(Leastways if you reckon two thumbs);
He used to be one of the singers,
But now he is one of the dumbs.

He sits in a beautiful parlour,
With hundreds of books on the wall;
He drinks a great deal of marsala,
But never gets tipsy at all.

He has many friends, laymen and clerical,
Old Foss is the name of his cat;
His body is perfectly spherical,
He weareth a runcible hat.

When he walks in waterproof white,
The children run after him so!
Calling out, “He’s gone out in his night-
Gown, that crazy old Englishman, oh!”

He weeps by the side of the ocean,
He weeps on the top of the hill;
He purchases pancakes and lotion,
And chocolate shrimps from the mill.

He reads, but he does not speak, Spanish,
He cannot abide ginger beer;
Ere the days of his pilgrimage vanish,
How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!
