Today’s cards: A blue feather hangs from a yellow string against a green background, a yellow key is beside a blue flower against a green background, and a red hang grasps green string as more green string crosses against a blue background.

There are many opportunities present, but all of them will require you to do something to take advantage of them. You may be asked to let go of something you hold dear or to make room for something new that you never considered. But all the options worth taking will make you act. The options that only require you to agree with them aren’t options at all, but acts that keep you firmly in place.


The Motif Deck is a unique cartomancy system designed and painted by Lee Bradford where the images have no inherent meaning, and so it’s up to the reader to assign significance. The cards consist of seven objects interacting with each other: hand, candle, rose, feather, key, string, and cup. Each image consists of one or two of these items on a plain colored background. These images were designed to be meaningless – they are just objects. What gives them meaning is the combination of color, frequency, placement, and interpretation from the querent and the reader.

Three Random Cards” 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.
