Dreaming a Better Tomorrow with the Fool Card

Dear Mer-Moon Muser,

I am so tired of the noise...online. I retreat into poetry, watercolor and neurodivergent affirming spaces. I deactivate my Facebook, made my main Instagram private and stop posting on social media. Soon (by late July) I will be on the road to Canada; cottage country, camping along the way in our rooftop tent. I will have my Tarot and my guides, accompanied by my beloved Mark & Djinn Djinn, our tiny, scrappy dog. I will document my journey sending missives to you in my museletter and on my blog enroute. I will accept soul readings as always.

This week's newest watercolor & poem features the Fool card from my upcoming Siren Song Tarot, a 22-card circular Major Arcana deck. I'm also working on a coloring book with Rae Rose, disabled writer & poet Supreme to accompany the deck.

Sparkly Mer-Blessings!

Mer-Fool Tarot-Poem

Collect your thoughts
into a big pile
then burn them.
Whatever remains
Faerie
to Sea
to Meri
to bury in the deep
where all dreams
reside
