The strength that will help me overcome my fears (bones of steel)įeel free to give this spread a whirl if it speaks to you but do try making your own as well. The yearning (To be acknowledged by some touch from his gnarled hands)Ħ. How I saw love disfigure me in the past (a key lesson in love)Ĥ. The Cage (how I feel caged/trapped in love due to expectations)ģ. This is the spread I created based on ‘Song for Zula’:Ģ. I have highlighted the words I chose to focus on above. One way of making a DIY Love Tarot Spread is to take a song about love that really speaks to you and turn a central theme or two from each verse to a positional meaning. And my bones are steelĪnd I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free You just stand there in the glass looking at meīut my heart is wild. Just a killer come to call from some awful dream I do not lay here in the dark waiting for theeĪnd I am racing out on the desert plains all night I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean lightĪnd we race out on the desert plains all night You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand I will not lay like this for days now upon end Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand It put its face up to my face so I could see I had to listen again… and again… and a dozen listens later I decided to take a look at the lyrics:
It unfurled some dusty wings and made me soar. It seemed to send me deep into my yearning and to yank it out from where I tucked it for safe-keeping. Initially, it was the haunting tune that grabbed me more than the words.
Phosphorescent’s ‘Song for Zula’ popped up in new Spotify playlist and though I had it on as background music while I was working, I had to just stop and listen. Sometimes you hear a song that really grabs you.
