1.Kight of Pentacles - the Trojan Horse outside the walls of Troy - The Trojan Horse stands outside the walls of Troy, the Greek soldiers hiding inside, waiting to make their move.
2.XV - Hekate - The card shows Hekate weilding a torch with a snake wrapped around it in her right hand, in her left is a sword. Two hounds of Hades follow her, one snarling the other baying to the moon. The background of the card is the liminal state - the left half is in full sunlight while the right is in darkness with stars.  Behind the Goddess on the left we see a beautiful lush countryside, on the right we see a Temple with three maidens dancing, arms raised to the Gods in the Heavens.
3.10 swords - Theseus and the Minotaur are battling within the Labrynth - Theseus is young and has his shield in the left hand and his sword in the right; he wears no armour or protective gear.  The Minotaur towers over him, twice his height, muscles bulging.  He has hands the size of Theseus' head, with long claw like nails - yet the hero is not phased or frightened.
4.One of pentales - A black-figured calapis jug stands in the foregroud; it is sealed tightly with a red-figure lid. A beautiful woman stands behind the jug, looking away and to the left. She has expensive bangles on her wrists, and her face is beautifully painted to accentuate her Greek features. She seems to be brooding or lost in deep thoughts of a darker nature. Behind her, we can tell that she is in a nice Athenian home.
5.2 of Pentacles - Ikarus, with his wings that his father made him, soars toward the sun. The sun completely takes up the background of the image... this is meant to show how high Ikarus was flying.  His eyes are closed, his head tilted up to the Heavens, which shows that he is not paying attention to his surroundings or others.  He is completely lost in himself, the moment, and his accomplishment.
6.8 of Chalices - The destruction of Troy. We are outside the walls of the city; bodies litter the sands, blood flows in rivulets among the dead warriors.  In the distance, we see the walls of Troy, destroyed, the city burning with flames that light up the night.
7.X - The Moirae - Klotho, Atropos, and Lachesis - We see the three Fates - to whom even the Mighty Zeus, Best and Greatest, was subject.  Clotho , the maiden, dressed in a white outfit resembling Diana's, spins the thread; Lachesis, the matron, voluptuous and dressed in rich, red robes, measures the thread; and Atropos , the Crone, dressed in black widow's clothes, cuts the thread.  This is the card of fate, the force all other things and forces are subject to. Nothing good and nothing bad happens that the Fates do not decree; this does not absolve either the Gods of Humans of Free Will however. How we choose to fulfill our destiny is up to us; if we live in harmony with the Gods and the Fates' decrees, we will have a good fate and happiness. To try to work against the fates is to invite destruction.

The Card of Clarification - 3 of Wands - Medusa sits alone, crying on a rocky shore.  In the background, we see her thoughts - she is being embraced and kissed passionately by a Hero.  She, who was once so beautiful, now sits alone, ugly and rejected, to consider her fate and hubris.

I have tried to read the cards for Hillary thrice, and each time the same seven cards come up; the first time was back in '07 - and I hated what I had drawn.  I put my cards away and offered incense to the Gods... I just couldn't accept what the seven cards were saying.   At that time, I was afraid that Hillary would be the victim of people slinging mud at her from Bill's Campaign and the last century.  In anger I rejected what the Gods were saying to me clearly through the oracle... as an Augur and Chaplain, I did something very bad. I let my own personal views get in the way of what the Gods were saying. I am both ashamed and embarassed that I did so.

The second time I did the reading was on the eve of the New Hapshire Caucuses.  I was upset that I got the EXACT cards that I had drawn previously, but not surprised. I have had this happen before - but previously, it had been the person coming to me for consultation who had rejected what the cards had said. I told them that the oracle would not change to suit their own preferences, and that if they didn't want to know the truth, then they shouldn't have asked.  

Why did I expect the Gods to deal any differently with me than they did with those who came to me for consultation - especially since I, unlike most of the people who come to me, know that the Gods don't change to suit human desires or wants?  This is where I had my own case of hubris - I thought I knew what was best for the country, the Democratic Party, etc.  I didn't consult the Gods with an open mind and a willingness to accept their answers.  Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

This past week, in the morning before the NC and IN primaries, I consulted the cards once again to see what they held for Hillary and her campaign.  I hoped that they would be more positive in outlook... I mean having your reading bracketed by the Trojan War with Ikarus and Pandora in the middle isn't exactly good.  The one positive card in there - Theseus battling the Minotaur isn't good in this context, as I think that Obama is Theseus, which means that Hillary is the Minotaur... and we all know how that one ended up!

When I got the third reading that was the same, I then asked the Gods "What will beome of this?" and I drew the card that I have marked above as The Card of Clarification.  This made me very sad... as I don't want that to be the answer. I want to be wrong. I want the cards to have not told me something - or for me to have read and interpreted them wrong... but I know that that isn't the case.

I feel sorry for Hillary because she has done this to herself, and this isn't the way that it had to be.

I am making an offering an offering of candles, incense, and meat to the Gods so that they will comfort her when, like Ikarus, she comes crashing back down to Earth.  I want Bill and Chelsea to have the stregnth and compassion to comfort her after this is all over. I know that the Gods will not make the effects of her actions any softer - the Gods will not erase her Karma, just make it easier for her to accept it and to learn from it in this lifetime.

I ask all of you to join me with prayers, meditations, good vibes, or whatever your faith path has for Hillary at this time.

Peace and Blessings to you and yours!
