[X marks the spot: the only lending library on Culebra.]
Q: Would you ever give a lost Tarot deck a good home?
Every year I travel to the tiny island of Culebra, off the coast of Puerto Rico, to frolic in the ocean and explore coral reefs. It's so small that there is only one stop sign and most of the residents tootle around in golf carts. There are no cruise ships, no mega-hotels, no nightlife, no drunken entertainment. It's humble. It's beautiful. It always feels like home when I return.
There use to be a public library but for complicated reasons that have nothing to do with this post it was closed down a few years ago. Regardless, every year I bring an assortment of books that I find fascinating and leave them in the little free library that someone erected in the downtown of the island's village, Dewey. Last year it was all about one of my favorite poets, Alejandra Pizarnik. This year I'm bring Barbara Smith's Home Girls anthology, the poetry of Pat Parker and Celia A. Sorhaindo's collection, Guabancex, named after the Taino goddess of hurricanes.
I'm also bringing something slightly different, a Sea Witch Tarot deck and its grimoire that I wrote in 2023.
The book isn't just an user guide for Tarot, it's much of my writing on the theme of Sea Witchcraft. I include tidal charts, spells, history, poetry, maps and translations as well as the art that went into the deck.
I have no idea who on Culebra needs this but that's not really the point. I have faith that these gifts will make their way into the right hands provided that I'm open and listening. Who knows what will happen? It will be, as they say, a grand adventure.

"they would find each other in any universe" and I love that it doesn't necessarily mean always romantically. They can be sworn enemies in this universe but that means they still found each other.
