For the April 'poem a day' challenge this year, I'm writing haibun to explore and reflect on my new Tarot deck, Forests of Enchantment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first day of April is April Fool’s Day – for playing tricks on one another, and having a laugh.
Card I, the Magician, traditionally can be a trickster: Master of Illusion.
Mostly, it means real magic. Connecting with the elements. Drawing down the force of change.
Here, he is called Enchanter – old, wise, blue-robed, a pile of books at his elbow. His eyes are half-closed yet intent. His hands move in a circle, shaping energy / smoke / visions.
Appearing insubstantial, the space in front of him is the whole world.
morning and evening
in front of my small altar
I call in the light
