Today’s cards: Four of Swords, Voyager, & Ten of Wands.

As you pick yourself up from the remnants of yesterday, you tell yourself that you have rested enough and are ready to begin something grand now that you have learned your lesson. But have you, really? Your goal may be realistic but how you intend to get there still requires scrutiny. Are you taking too big a leap of faith? Are you trying to drive a full day’s path on less than a full tank of gas? Have you prepared for the testing of your resolve and your resources? If not, then sit back down and go over your plans again today so you can start reaching for your hopes and dreams tomorrow.


A luxurious white and gold deck of 80 hand painted and foil stamped cards that represents the stories, traditions, and heritages that humans create and pass forth in their journey to conquer the most eternal and timeless of enemies; the ephemerality and temporality of life. Inspired by odysseys and epics of old, the major arcana cards have been reimagined as a “hero’s journey” in place of the classic “fool’s journey”. The majority of the major arcana cards retain strong parallels to traditional Rider Waite-Smith counterparts, though a small number are completely new. Cards painted by Arthur Wang. Card meanings co-written by Arthur Wang and Mat Auryn. The Ephemere Tarot is ©TrueBlack, LLC.

What Does The Deck Say” is a weekday series of 3 card pulls from a cartomancy deck.

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.
