Mer Friends,
I draw, trusting in my Gods to guide me bibliomantically, through chance and synchronicity and I follow up with poetic musings guided by this new Tarot of Mermaids I am working on. I am becoming more honest, more transparent, more vulnerable and stronger the deeper I dive into this project.
To read a snippet of my Sun poem and my response to a Sun Card question posed by Mary K. Greer in her book “Tarot For Yourself” please scroll down - it's not for everyone, only those who are diving deeply alongside me in solidarity with all the Mer-Freedoms we are discovering along the way.
Feel the Threads of Magic Mermaid by Kathy Crabbe, 9x12 in., gouache, watercolor, ink and collage on paper, 2024.
The Mermaid’s Secret (A Snippet)
I followed the rules for too long,
but now I am older,
disbelieving these systems.
To have survived
is something.
To have created
is something.
This wrinkled Mermaid Body is illuminated,
though tempered by your disbelief
in hidden disability…
Sun Card Question: What do you now understand?
By embracing my Neurodivergence I accept my differences.
