You can’t change what happened. You made the choice you did based on the information that was available to you at the time. You did not know then that you had been lied to. And now, here you are, knowing the truth of the matter and being unable to do anything about it. Don’t let regret punish you for other people’s cruelty. It will drag you back into the past and never let you be in the present again. Instead, be here with those who need you now and begin the work to heal and move forward. It will be difficult to leave it behind, but it is possible. Ask those you trust for help.


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.

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.
