Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s catch, and a clumsy walker make for quick stories. The face cards stand alone, but have stories for their own.

For those wishing something nicer, Artiphany also has a decks of dogs, kittens, and mermaids.

Today’s cards: 4 of Clubs, 8 of Clubs, & 9 of Spades.

You have worked hard during the day, not only taking care of today’s concerns, but preparing for tomorrows and the seasons to come. You have sat with your peers and your friends, sharing each others stories and wisdom by caring for the souls within. But you are not taking care of yourself. The year has a moment where everything pauses. The day has such a season. You do, too. Enter your season and put the tools down for a while. Make the ritual of self-care as important as work and friends.
