Sweet, Salty, Sour, Smoky...

The taste of love is varied and not at all what I expected. 

It starts sweet like honeysuckles and rolls in your mouth easily. You never want to swallow it whole, you let it sit there soaking into every inch. 

I had known love would be sweet, but not salty. 

The salty is another part of love alongside sweet. It comes after but is just as intoxicating. They coexist for awhile in the beginning, intertwining to make a delirious mess. It is in kisses and sheets, covering your entire body in its sting. 

The sour is what no expects in the beginning, maybe at times, but not the way it sticks on your tongue no matter how much you try to wash it down. 

It is just a hint when it starts, the end of a swallow. It isn’t bad, it adds something to the sweet and salty. Complexity…excitement, but even that can get tiring. You try to overpower it with other tastes, add more salt, sugar. It might leave for a few moments, but it always comes back. The only way to end it is to cut out all of it.

The smokiness is all that is left. 

At first, it is like the taste after burning your tongue, it is the taste of healing. It is disgusting and everyone wants to avoid it, but it is impossible if we want to taste the first sweetness again and again and again. It gets better over time and eventually, it only passes over your tongue when you remember a moment, a certain taste, a love.

Today’s tarot reading - I thought I would mix it up and use the Book of Thoth Tarot. I must say I found the cards I picked rather perplexing, especially as they were all court cards. But, oh well here it goes.

The Situation: The Knight of Wands

The Task: Prince of Disks (Pentacles)

The solution: Princess of Disks

So, the Knight of Wands represents the fiery part of fire, and the characteristics of this card are of swiftness, impulsiveness and unpredictable actions. I initially thought this card was advising to make a swift decision about something; BUT, following with next card this may be the warning not to be so quick.

The task is the Prince of Disks, which is the airy part of Earth. What I get from this card is that meditating on an idea is key. This card might indicate the need to be productive, beavering away at creative projects.

The solution is the Princess of Disks; representing the earthy part of earth. What I get from this card is a representation of a higher self, someone who is at the peak of their performance.

Final thoughts: Upon a little more than surface contemplation, I feel as though this spread has given me some good insight to a dilemma I’ve been pondering recently. And, funnily enough, has been the advice the i ching has given me. So, I feel that I shouldn’t be too quick to make a rash decision, but rather think it over, and instead concentrate on the creative pursuits I have been working on. If I do that, I will become more grounded for it.

Not everyone has love for this deck, but I’ve always found its readings to be very insightful.

I decided to do it Dr. John Dee style tonight and get out my crystal ball.

Today’s Tarot reading:

The Situation: 7 of cups

The task: 5 wands

The solution: 6 wands

My Interpretation: The start of artistic projects and the fresh and new energy that is needed to kick start such endeavours. There is a caution not to get too carried away with ideas unless they are followed through, to avoid errors of judgement.

Again, this card is suggesting a spark of desire for a new project... something new and positive will ignite this. Linking with the previous card the task in hand is to be clear on a situation before going in head first, however.

If followed as the cards advise, the outcome should be one of victory, advances in career and public celebration. It also advises to commit with all the muster I can give, but also to control desires and expectations otherwise mistakes could be made.

Final thought: The theme of my tarot readings lately definitely are of a starting creative projects flavour (which pleases me immensely). I just need to keep right on track.

Today’s Tarot reading:

The situation: Santa Muerta (Death)

The task: Page of cups

The solution: 2 of cups

My interpretation:

The situation at present is an end of a chapter/beginning of a new one. New projects and changes on the horizon.

The task at hand is to study and dedicate myself to what I’m currently doing and eventually good things will come. There is a disclaimer, here, however, not to get distracted along the way to false illusions.

The solution, should I follow on track is a mutual exchange of affection, complementarity and comprehension. Happiness is wellbeing is acquired once it is rightly earned.

Final thoughts: New things are starting to happen. I need to work hard and follow the right track and when the time is right, it will pay off.

Bold as thunder

She stormed in bold as thunder

Hair like waves reflecting

She sees peoples’ souls through their eyes

Whilst manipulating others with her own

There was no party without her

The nucleus of instigation

As she approached the world with an electrifying smile

The red divide everyone made way for

She divined whilst sound asleep

revelation in stories yet to come true

The more you knew the less you wanted to

A curse to impart, and that boy who knew

You were at ease as she made you her friend

But never sorry as the day you cross her

Turn the other side is sharpened knife

With words that cut and cut and won’t ever mend

The day she left this mortal realm

The sky became an installation for her passing

As if the Universe engulfed her creativity

So we could celebrate one last time

Bold as thunder, I know

Of how you continue

To look through my soul

Because it is reflected back in the world I see.

Today’s Tarot Reading:

The Situation: The Fool

The Task: Strength

The Solution: 7 of Cups

My Interpretation: I am about to embark on something new, but as of yet it’s ideas are still in its infancy stages. Nevertheless, there is a sense of new renewed energy flowing within its core.

As long as I persevere with courage and sincerity, there will be an almost guaranteed injection of, specifically creative energy into the venture.

The final card reinforces the flavour of this reading, that as long as I stay on track, this (seemingly) creative endevour will eventually pay dividends.

Final thought: There are a lot of exciting things about to happen in my life right now, and bursting with all sorts of creative ideas which will hopefully come to fruition somewhere down the line. The cards seem to suggest I need to have courage, conviction and confidence in what I do, and not to lose track of the outcome.

Amethyst is a great focal point for scrying or meditation. It said to help with astral travel and any meditation regarding a spiritual matter. Do you have a favorite stone or crystal you like to use in your spiritual practice? 💜

Seriously my dudes, if you need medication, you’re no less an artist for taking them. The idea that you need to be depressed, suffering, or otherwise in poor mental health to be an artist of any form is horribly wrong and terrifyingly pervasive. When I was on anti-depressants, I was writing a chapter every three days. Now that I’m off (a complex series of circumstances), I can barely summon the will to write, not to mention the effects it’s had on my life otherwise. Get help, your health and well-being are far more important than anything else.

[abibeemagick]

Good mental health is extremely important. I've always worried about how social platforms such as Tumblr can influence people's perceptions of mental health and seeking professional help; including medication.

“Yeah, I’m aware,” he tells her, “that both you and I are a mess.” “But hey, isn’t that what life is?” He slipped his hand into hers and gazed into her eyes, “Life is messy, love,” he said quietly, “and I need you.” “I need your beautiful mess, just entirely you.”
