Today 'Gloopy' the Vogon Poet produced a poem, and I rather like it!

From The Beastiary! The Manticore of myth: A lion- like gigantic beast with a human face, three rows of teeth, blue eyes complete with a Scorpio tail, armed with deadly barbs that can fly like arrows against it’s enemies. The platform she stands on is carved with the various names she’s known by: MANTICORE - MARTICHORS - ANTHROPOPHAGON - THE MANEATER She roars, showing off her teeth. Within the lower medallions of an ornate frame is Hall on one side and Oats on the other -

Presented by Dark Folio Press the re-imagining of an irreplaceable book of Strega Spells This is a spread I picked up somewhere many moons ago. I can't say from where or from who, but I can say its been refined by my own use and has become a staple in my tarot spread tool belt. The Maiden Mother Crone Spread. I connect this spread with Hekate, the torch-bearing goddess of witches, crossroads, and magic. In her ancient homeland of Greece she was known as Hekate Triformis and d

The Calf of the Deep appears as something long hidden surfacing. The mirrored pool becomes the place where awareness encounters itself through reflection. The wonder is not so much what is being reflected but the experience of awareness, meeting itself. Like the creature gazing into the well, this card reminds us that the unknown is often looking back at us with the same curiosity we bring to it.

Here the Cyclops is a custodian of a forgotten civilization. The monuments have fallen into ruin, yet he continues to walk the ancient paths beneath Orion and the turning heavens, tending his flock and keeping the old measures. His singular eye is a symbol of perception and focus, to remind us that every enduring work begins by observing the world as it truly is.

Whether she existed as a historical person remains debated. Yet for nearly seven centuries, the story of a woman who rose through the Church disguised as a man to become Pope captured the imagination of Europe.

One of the biggest shifts in tarot happens when you stop reading cards individually and begin reading the relationships between them. A card’s meaning does not remain static. It changes depending on: where it appears, what surrounds it, and how its elemental energy interacts with the spread itself. This is where tarot begins to behave less like a collection of definitions and more like a symbolic ecosystem.

The Luminous Self Spread was created as an invitation to slow down long enough to truly listen. Not to the cards, but to yourself.

One of my favourite things about tarot is that the smallest details often open the largest doors. A recent question on LinkedIn asked what the four symbols hidden in the corners of the Fool card represented.

The Hierophant represents spiritual guidance, sacred knowledge, tradition, and the transmission of wisdom from one generation to the next. Through Rumi, this archetype shifts away from rigid dogma and toward direct spiritual experience. Rather than acting as a gatekeeper of divine truth, Rumi becomes a bridge between the earthly and the transcendent, translating mystical insight into language the human heart can understand.

Both deities are deeply tied to agriculture, fertility, renewal, and the spread of civilization through cultivation and sacred knowledge. Where Demeter represents the fecundity and abundance from which civilization grows, Osiris represents the structure, continuity, and governance required to preserve it.
