the cairns

The Cairns card from the “Oracle of the Morrigan” card deck
here, the heroes
stand guard the pale
while at fives
while at nines
and under the sevens
unmoved by illusion
waiting in stillness
for those
who might find
their way home

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.

    I always liked mythology around stone circles – and I used to have a soft spot for thinking that they may be ancient guardians waiting to be awoken for a greater good.
    Fine piece, Michael.
