As the year ends, look back on what came together for you and what fell apart in your hands. Consider your actions and the actions forced upon you. Review what you did in the context of the circumstances you found yourself in and not in the revelations that came too late to change the past. See how the threads in the past have come together to tie themselves around your feet. Now, look forward. The future is still unwritten. Yes, there are rails you cannot climb over and doors that are locked at the moment, but there are also opportunities to change what comes and experiences to have in the present. Don’t be so worried about the future that you forget to be here now.


Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is a richly decorated esoteric book in the form of 78 tarot cards. Sometimes wildly diverging from Waite’s road, the deck can read as slim as necessary and as deep as the reader is willing to focus. Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is ©US Games Systems.

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.
