It is a day for contradictions. Don’t be so independent that you force your friends to walk away before they are pushed away, but don’t be so dependent that your friends walk away or be crushed by your needs. Don’t be so single-mindedly focused that you lose sight of the reason why you started this endeavor, but don’t be so quick to jump on every possible concern that you lose sight of the end goal. While it is good that you are doing what you can to get your job done, do not invalidate the goal by the methods you are seeking to achieve it.


This deck of 78 small tarot cards illustrated by Julie Paschkis and published by Running Press is part of a modest and portable set titled “Tarot: The Complete Kit”. The palm size cards feature vignettes that summarize individual card meanings yet also offer points for inspiration for other interpretations. The Running Press Tarot is ©Running Press.

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.
