Today’s cards: 4 of Diamonds, King of Clubs, & Queen of Spades.

You may have heard that “no news is good news”, and there is certainly a plentiful amount of nothing coming in or out. This does not mean that no one is watching. Be careful what you do in this silent time as what is done in secret today could be broadcast tomorrow. Keep your ambitions in check, or at least test them. If your ambitions would sacrifice tomorrow for the appearance of success today, then they have already failed.


Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s sturdy web, and an absentminded gentleman make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have individual tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany has more gentle decks featuring dogs and kittens. The Bag of Bones Playing Cards are under exclusive copyright to ©Inky-Dinky 2008.
