So the latest edition of BellaOnline Mused is out. I have two pieces in this one. I’m always so proud when I am accepted to this endeavor. I love much of the other works (particularly the photography) and am often inspired by them. That happened with this one. I saw a series of zoo animal photographs. One of them was an intense vulture. I looked at that bird thinking “but vultures are supposed to be ugly.” The response in my head was (more…)

Here is my next poem for the Major Arcana. For those of you who are new to my blog, this is a series that I do based on my 9Words Poetry Challenge that I developed. I’ve been doing this for nearly seven years but only (more…)

I’ve got so much to do today.  I’ve done my weekly Tarotscopes on Twitter. You can check them out every Sunday just by going to that link. No need to join the Dark Side even if we do have cookies!

I’m gearing up for my Austin Tarot Talkers Meetup at 2pm today. I have some notes on the suits and hope that will be enough. May dig some books out as well to share.

Today’s card came as a bit of a surprise to me. With all I have on my plate, I expected (more…)

Today’s card is a repeat of the Ace of Fire. I discussed this card here. So I am going to pull another card. I will use the Ace of Fire as my personal card and this next one as the modifier. I will often pull another card to see what modifies the energies of a card. Modifiers can enhance or subtract from the energy.

That modifier is (more…)

Elder of Earth comes spinning out of the Gaian Tarot for me today. I started today out with breakfast with Romeo and my Thursday husband which just makes it an excellent day right out of the gate. I also got to talk to a new friend on the phone right before that. Two friends are on their way from Omaha, NE to come see if they want to live in Austin.

Of course (more…)

Today’s card is one of the Court cards. I really like Joanna’s system of Child, Explorer, Guardian and Elder. They are not gender specific in terms of all women or all men. They are mixed.

Here we see a (more…)

Today, I’m in a reversed Queen of Cups mood. I am feeling creative, but a little (okay a lot) naughty. You could say I’m really identifying with that wicked Jezebel as played by the gorgeous Bette Davis.

I started a thread years ago on a site. This thread is called 9Words: A Poetry Challenge. I am still doing this albeit on another site now.

The game is that someone (anyone) lists nine words. Just nine words…no rhyme or reason necessary. Then those who are playing take the words and make a poem out of them.

For me, this plays strongly into my (more…)

In the quiet rain
Cleansing grief preparing ground
Finally my spring

Stephanie Arwen Lynch 2/2/2010

Like that haiku says, I’ve been preparing ground. I’ve come to a decision, y’all. (more…)

One of my favorites of the Major Arcana is the Wheel of Fortune. Not because of what it represents–although that is delightful, but because of my love of trivia. Are you still with me? Poetry about Tarot leads to trivia. Easy, right? (more…)
