A highly original and exciting new deck - The Maroon Tarot - has recently been published (Majors only so far). What endears it to me especially is that it is a deck from Poland, a place with which I have great affinity. Part of the publicity is a competition for work inspired by one of the cards - I have had a win with this poem on the Judgement card shown above.
Judgement
I have heard this call before,
Deep in my green thoughts,
On lost nights
In a wrong place
I hid my face.
Past failures hold me
New fears enfold me
In the sadness of space.
Call me again
How high is wall?
How far is the fall?
Call me again
Is that the time?
The blast insists.
My mind resists
Such a step
From dark to light,
The distance of knowing.
But I’m on my way
I’m going
My spirit flies before.
