You did as you were told to do, because you were told that this is how it had worked for everyone else before. But you weren’t told of all the times that it didn’t, nor of all the times that things had to be changed to make it all work out in the end. And now you’re facing what appears to be an inevitable failure of the work at hand, but it does not have to be so. It will require going against the tradition that you were taught, but that will also require going with the tradition of getting things done, so in the end, it doesn’t matter which traditional path you choose to get things settled, as long as you get things settled.


The RM (Red Magician) Tarot is a limited edition deck created by artist Jay LeRoy. Being that it was originally meant to be the artist’s personal tarot, the artwork is a collage-based, subconsciously-driven interpretation of Hermetic and universal symbolism. The Red Magician Tarot is ©Jay LeRoy.

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.
