Coyotes and Tarot

It's a chilly night at about 40 degrees. Across my back porch is the sound of a coyote searching for true love while the cool breeze entices that desert grass to make a humming sound that has an hypnotic state to it.

As nature makes it's own music, I sit playing with a worn set of Tarot cards. Tarot has always intrigued me.

These cards only came in use a divinatory since 1540 but it is still played as normal card games. After years of being bored on tour buses, this form of fortune telling kept me occupied for hours on end. I was always intrigued how just the display of these cards would bring interested parties quickly gathering around to have the 'fortune read'. 

Through equally as bored and inebriated band mates, I became pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Now it's become a point of interest for the Native children and their teachers. But I keep doling away at it. The kids are anxious to learn since the Navajo tradition has nothing like it. However, I find it funny that there is a local fortune reader off the rez that makes a bundle off of the native people.

Well, the coyotes sound closer and the dogs are getting restless.
