You already know nothing is going to go according to plan. You already know that to accomplish any of your goals, you are going to have to go all out. You already know all of the reasons why this is not a good idea and why this is not a recommended course of action. But, you also already know why you have no other choice but to follow through. You are not the only one that sees the writing on the wall and are deciding to do something about it. Partner up with those already standing beside you and accomplish more than what you already know you’re capable of.


The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However creator and artist Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

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.
