Today’s cards: Sun (31), Scythe (10), & Clouds (6).

You knew that it was going to hurt. You didn’t realize that it was going to hurt this bad until the truth started showing up, and kept showing up. It is a lot to take in all at once, and there is no shame in saying that you are overwhelmed and that you need to sit down for a while, or even that you are going to cry, social protocol be damned. Have that moment, no matter how embarrassed others try to make you feel afterwards. Because once that moment ends and you have collected your sharp and determined self, it will be time to remind everyone that the same warm personality that makes others feel comfortable can also be scathing hot in determination to settle what came up today.


This 39 card deck by Caitlín Matthews and Virginia Lee includes two sets of Man and Woman cards, along with an extra Diviner card. The two sets of Man and Woman allows the reading to be tailored to the circumstances of the Querent. One pair is portrayed with light skin and the other pair is portrayed with dark skin. The unused cards are removed from the deck before shuffling. The Diviner (37) is not required for Lenormand reading. However, I include it with my throws as it makes an excellent “Stop Card” when first on the table and a “pay attention to what follows” card when appearing elsewhere.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck. No context or query is given to frame what the cards say as the posts are reading samples and not personal instruction. The result is sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and usually surprising. All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.

Personalized, direct, and private cartomancy readings are available via Ko-Fi: Noxporium.
