Today’s cards: Three of Coins, Six of Knives, & The Free Man.

You do good work. This has never been in doubt. But you feel that your work is being taken for granted and that you are being kept in a position that benefits everyone else but you. Time to put your skills to work, for yourself. Stepping out and taking care of business on your own terms will be a process best done quietly and in the confidence of as few people as possible. It will feel like madness at first, going against what you had been taught was “right” and “proper”. But once you realize the difference between what you were taught and what you are experiencing, then you will understand what has been the right thing to do all along.


Tayannah Lee McQuilar’s Hoodoo Tarot celebrates the complex American Rootwork tradition by integrating esoteric and botanical knowledge from Hoodoo with the divination system of the tarot. Structured like a traditional tarot deck, each of the 78 cards features full-color paintings by magical-realist artist Katelan Foisy and elegantly interprets the classical tarot imagery through depiction of legendary rootworkers past and present as well as important Hoodoo symbolism.

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.
