Tarot Blog Hop 2014....The Seer, the Bard, the Healer, Brighid

Previous            Master List              Next

This is my entry in the 2014 Imbolc Session of the Tarot Blog Hop. Our wonderful wrangler, Christiana C. Gaudet, has given us some scope here with a very comprehensive and insightful topic, stated "Tarot, Healing, and Creativity". I see this topic as a perfect mirror of the Threefold Goddess, because, of course, Healing is one of the Three Faces of Brighid, Creativity matches with Poesy, another of Her aspects, and--Tarot? Well--Tarot is "Smithcraft" of an esoteric kind--the "making" is the intuitive knowledge of the reader assisting the client to "remake" certain circumstances in hir life. So...poesy, smithcraft, and healing--that's my Goddess, and that's who I hope to emulate in my own life. And I wrote something to assist me in putting into words both what I see in Her to honor and venerate, and what I hope to mirror in my Self as I attempt to become more like Herself. And what I wrote, which is not just a poem but a song, is posted here as my entry into the wondrous realm of honor, praise, and gratitude which this Blog Hop affords to me.
