Today’s cards: Three of Pentacles, Death, & Queen of Pentacles.

When all that hard work gets undone, do not despair. Look to the farming ant and remember that their harvest is not the leaves that they bring to the nest, but the fungus that they feed those leaves to. In the same way, that which will bring your reward is not the obvious work that everyone else has been comparing themselves to, but the results of that work that will yield consistent results day by day. Build on this constant renewal of your resources and you will collect more than you could ever have created on your own.


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.
