Oracle


Question, query, pyramid shield 
Fire, water, sky and field 
Knight of pentacales, Knight of wands 
Emperor who binds my hands 
Five of cups: unseen, unsealed 


Tower, Death, nine of swords 
Wheel of fortune, swallowed words 
Ace of pentacles upside down 
Blindfold on inverted crown 
Warnings unheeded or unheard 


Pendulum swings yea or nay 
Smoke of reason into play 
Scorpion, eagle, lizard race 
Sun and Jupiter conjunct in place 
Spirit cards in gypsy lay 


Read once more, imprisoned still 
Moon in Pisces, ink and quill 
Writ in water, published in air 
Sun and moon now two cups share 
Mars conquers Venus' will
