The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for February 20, 2017
Active Influence: Hronn/Five of Cups
Rune: Othala/Inheritance (reversed)
Hidden Influence: Thrym/King of Swords
Hronn stirs up all your fears today. Othala reversed indicates that you are feeling cut off and separated from support and comfort. Thrym says that you need to acknowledge the fears, and then use rational thought and calm logic to deal with the fears and find a way forward. Ignoring the fears will not work; you need to name them and analyze them in order to find the most effective way to deal with them. You have the mental strength; pick up the sword and end the fears.

I Know My Soul
~ Claude McKay
I plucked my soul out of its secret place,
And held it to the mirror of my eye,
To see it like a star against the sky,
A twitching body quivering in space,
A spark of passion shining on my face.
And I explored it to determine why
This awful key to my infinity
Conspires to rob me of sweet joy and grace.
And if the sign may not be fully read,
If I can comprehend but not control,
I need not gloom my days with futile dread,
Because I see a part and not the whole.
Contemplating the strange, I’m comforted
By this narcotic thought: I know my soul.

Poem 1, from Six Poems
~Sulpicia
Edited by Anne Mahoney
At last the love I’ve waited for has come.
(No shame to say so: more to cover up).
My Camenae called on her in prayer,
and Cytherea brought him to my heart.
Venus kept her promise: now she can tell
my tale of joy to those who don’t believe.
I hardly want to give this letter up
so no one else sees it before he does.
I’m glad I did it — why wear a prudish mask,
as if he wasn’t good enough for me!

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for February 18, 2017
Active Influence: Gunnlod/Two of Cups
Rune: Chalc/Chalice (reversed)
Hidden Influence: Sinmora/Queen of Wands
If someone is offering you a prize, verify that the prize is as promised, and that they can actually give it. If you are going to do the work, be sure the reward is actually available. Sinmora gifts you with a great deal of creative energy, so make sure you are investing it in projects that will pay off for you instead of giving away your gifts for the benefit of another. Know your worth, and insist on being compensated appropriately. As my mother used to tell me, “You will sell out. Sell well.”
Beware of pretty promises and passionate oaths—they are worth only the breath it takes to speak them. This applies to your own promises as well—don’t make an offer you know you can’t fulfill. That never works out well for anyone.
