Oracle, Cards

The King of Diamonds, the 10 of Clubs, the 6 of Diamonds
A Reading From May 2008

The power of giving oracles has not disappeared from the world. Initiated Witches, if they look, will find it amongst their inherited abilities. The rise of fake, self-proclaimed "witches" and "covens," however, has greatly diminished its frequency of manifestation. In fact, it is likely found more frequently amongst the volvur (seeresses) of the northern traditions than amongst Witches now. Here, though, is one modern example.

The Seeker, a young man in his 30s, had had several dates with another young man in whom he was romantically interested. He asked how the relationship would develop.

A bearded man
With cat-green eyes
Is whom I see
In this reply:

"No heart for hearts,
"No time for times,
"But up the workman’s
"Ladder climbs
"For wheaten bread
"And silver dimes,
"And then shall leave
"For other climes."

And so it was, as the Seeker later related.

They had a few more dates, but the other man was ambitious and often busy with work and overtime work. Three months later, the other man moved to another state for a work opportunity.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
