even dead things have their wild—
campfires hold no sway over their
bone whispers shrouded in mists
should you shadowwalk with me
we will slender through feral spaces
to find our the names and faces
we wore before we were born,
or we may lose our myriad selves
in the fog
Disclosure: My use of those tools most often associated with divination are largely as randomized writing prompts, often with the intent of personal alchemy. They are not intended to be representative of traditional divinatory practice. My personal interpretations (and methods) will likely not agree with those found in popular culture.

My personal interpretation of this card is that the veil is thin, and your ancestors are close. I have to say I love your interpretation Michael 🧡
Thank you!
Maybe they are ready to sit with me again. They’ve been unusually quiet the past month or two, but the dreams are returning. When that happens, they are often close by. We’re overdue.
They have a habit of stepping back when you need to hear your own voice for a while, then coming in when you’re ready, dreams and all. If they’re stirring, trust it. You’re overdue for a good chat in the dark, by the sound of it.
We always have a decent time, comfortable silences or a few carefully chosen words.
Excellent. I really like the “faces / we wore before we were born”
Thanks, Bob. I seem obsessed with that concept lately.
