Chantico’s Way

I pulled this card from my tarot deck, Dark Goddess Tarot. I’m having dinner with Chantico, Aztec Goddess of Fire. I feel like making this into a poem. [Image Description:] Tarot Card that reads: Nine of Fire, Chantico. Chantico has light reddish brown skin. She is wearing a large green piece of septum jewelry. She is wearing a white gown and her ornaments are mostly red and yellow with hints of green. There are nine flowering pots around her and she is moving her arms as if she is directing a force or energy.
