Jamieson Wolf
Number-one bestselling author
The Esotoracle Issue Eight!
I’ve been a long-time fan of The Esotoracle magazine.
Published in the United Kingdom, it is a wealth of information on Tarot, different decks, ways to read oracle cards and anything under the sun having to do with spirituality and divination. I’ve loved diving into each issue and learning something more about myself and my journey with spirituality.
I’m honoured to have an article that I wrote about my novel Queen of Swords included in the newest issue! When I was asked to submit something, I was overjoyed. I’ve loved The Esotoracle since it’s inception and I’m so excited to have my article in the newest issue.
When you read my article, you learn a little bit more about how I went about writing a book that was based on the Major Arcana and how I chose the direction of the story in Queen of Swords, much like I would draw a card from a Tarot deck.
Enjoy!

Dance Across the Canvas – A Poem
*For Sylvia
You have taught me
a new way to use my voice.
The brush and pallet knife
are extensions of my arm.
I’m no longer afraid
to try new things
and explore the forest
of possibilities, to part the trees
or grass that block my path
until I can see the way forwards
with clarity, my vision taking shape
with every stroke of paint.
Every time I pick up my brush
or pallet knife,
I look at the white expanse,
wondering what I will find there,
how I will make
my imagination come alive.
More than anything else,
you have taught me to
dance across the canvas,
honouring the music that I hear
in the wind and attempting to
interpret its song.
Because of you,
I can lose myself in the dance
and find the pieces of myself
that I’d forgotten were there,
waiting to be shown
to the light.
Beautiful Gift – A Poem
I wanted to get you
the most amazing gift,
something that would let you know
how much I love you,
an object that could hold
everything that you’ve ever wanted.
You are beautiful to me.
When I look into your eyes,
I see can see the waves
within your gaze
that first held my attention
and holds it still.
I look down towards our hands,
clasped together in support
of one another and the rings
that symbolize our bond
shine brightly as if
they hold a wish come true.
When I look at you again,
I can hear our hearts,
beating in tandem together.
You are the greatest gift
that my life has
ever given me.
As our heartbeats keep time,
I give you my heart
all over again,
knowing that our love
holds a world that we
will discover together.
The Weight of Water – A Poem
I am made of water.
It runs within the blood
that flows under my skin.
My body is heavy with it,
carrying this weight
of unshed tears.
I try to find something
to make my cry,
let the tears slide from my eyes
as if a wish is contained
inside each one.
Instead, when I close my eyes,
I can hear the song
of the waves within me.
They are part temptress
and part siren,
calling me to explore
the other regions of myself
at the same time
as pulling me under
the water.
