Today’s cards: Key (33), Crossing (36), & Woman (29).

You have been putting this off for a while, but now the only way to continue onward is through the very thing you have been avoiding. It has not been an easy journey to this point, and there is no telling what is going to be waiting for you once you come through. But right now, at this precipice, the one thing you can count on is yourself. So, today, be kind to yourself, be gentle to yourself, forgive yourself for the things you should have known better about, and forgive yourself for the things that were deliberately withheld from you. Today, you are going to have to grow up, even if just a little bit, but there is nothing that says you have to be cruel to yourself in the process. Get what helps you. Leave behind what doesn’t. Keep going.


This 39 card deck by Caitlín Matthews and Virginia Lee includes two sets of Man and Woman cards, along with an extra Diviner card. The two sets of Man and Woman allows the reading to be tailored to the circumstances of the Querent. One pair is portrayed with light skin and the other pair is portrayed with dark skin. The unused cards are removed from the deck before shuffling. The Diviner (37) is not required for Lenormand reading. However, I include it with my throws as it makes an excellent “Stop Card” when first on the table and a “pay attention to what follows” card when appearing elsewhere.

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.
