How bad do you want it? Enough that you’re willing to make a deal? Enough that you’re willing to give up everything else? Enough that you’re willing to do whatever it takes even if it means losing yourself in the process? That’s what everyone else is warning you about, after all. But here is a secret in plain sight: If you want it that bad that you are ready to walk away from everything else, you have already been changed. The question isn’t how bad do you want it. The question is are you willing to live with the consequences of getting what you want.


Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is a richly decorated esoteric book in the form of 78 tarot cards. Sometimes wildly diverging from Waite’s road, the deck can read as slim as necessary and as deep as the reader is willing to focus. Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is ©US Games Systems.

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.
