It isn’t the solace you were hoping for. If anything, it feels like a slap in the face and like another piece of you is being extracted against your will. Before you condemn yourself to a life of solitude and rancor, reach out to those that were helping you through this. It may feel like no one was there, but who helped you with the mail, and who reminded you to eat something, and who sat with you while you cried? Look for the helpers and be reminded of how much you are still cared for.


The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However creator and artist Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

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.
