Today’s cards: Four of Cups, The Priestess, & Princess of Cups.

You’re tired of all these cartoon adventures you have been forced to live out and you’re ready for some maturity and sensibility like the proper adult you are. That’s the problem. Your perception that you are beyond these simple things is the biggest one of them all. Before you stomp off to yell at some clouds about the undeserved disrespect, go look in the mirror and observe how you have been treating yourself. What standard are you trying to abide by that is not only unreachable, but self-destructive? What standard has been proven time and time again to help you recover from these “fits of sensibility”? Take time today to play again, and remind yourself that the joy of discovery has no age floor nor limit.


Bryan Lahr’s Wyzard of Odd tarot deck is a work of art featuring carefully crafted images of literal smoke and mirrors. The deck is based on the Thoth and the margins are lined with correspondences from various esoteric practices. The slightly oversize deck works well for contemplation as the images fold onto themselves and unfolds upon the viewer. In following with the tradition set by the Thoth deck, Wyzard Princes are equivalent to Waite’s Knights, and Wyzard Knights are equivalent to Waite’s Kings.
