Today’s cards: The High Priestess – II (reversed), 5 of Pentacles, & Knight of Wands (reversed).

You may have heard the phrase, “It’s only an omen if you take it as one.” What happens when you take everything as an omen? You cede your autonomy to random impersonal forces and bemoan an avoidable fate that hasn’t even arrived yet. Stop being so quick to follow signs that aren’t even dry yet. Stand still, let the wind pass, and examine yourself. What is it that you need to be doing for yourself today?


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.

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.
