The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for February 27, 2017
Active Influence: Daeg/Knight of Wands
Rune: Cweorth/Fire
Hidden Influence: Billing/King of Coins
You need to move fast to stay ahead. Think objectively about what is (and will be) most helpful, and make decisions about what to take and what to leave behind. Practical issues may be nagging at the edges of your consciousness; tend to them in a timely manner before they become actual problems.
Burning that which no longer serves releases energy to do the creative work that fills your day. Light the fire, and get to work!

A Fond Farewell
~ Sandra Fowler
In memory of Walter Barzelay
One day I sent some words to Tel Aviv.
Perhaps, they whisper in the grasses yet.
Good-bye to my last teacher and my best.
A letter to be read over your grave.
I left you in another century.
There was no place for poetry to stop.
I think you understand how limited
Mere words and stanzas are to bring you back.
Your shadow lingers on that distant pane,
Through which two wordsmiths viewed their brevity.
You often signed your letters with, ‘Till soon’,
Warm words far more endearing than farewell.

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for February 26, 2017
Active Influence: Bara/Nine of Cups
Rune: Stan/Keystone
Hidden Influence: Gunnlod/Two of Cups
The old continues to slip away, gradually moving out of your life. That’s a good thing, even if it’s a bit worrying to watch. Keep your eyes on your new goals and your feet focused on your new path. Beware of someone who seems to know everything and have all the answers—they don’t actually know everything, and what they are telling you is what you really need to know. To thine own self be true, and beware of sweet-talking strangers.

In the Seven Woods
~ William Butler Yeats
I have heard the pigeons of the Seven Woods
Make their faint thunder, and the garden bees
Hum in the lime-tree flowers; and put away
The unavailing outcries and the old bitterness
That empty the heart. I have forgot awhile
Tara uprooted, and new commonness
Upon the throne and crying about the streets
And hanging its paper flowers from post to post,
Because it is alone of all things happy.
I am contented, for I know that Quiet
Wanders laughing and eating her wild heart
Among pigeons and bees, while that Great Archer,
Who but awaits His hour to shoot, still hangs
A cloudy quiver over Pairc-na-lee.
