Today’s cards: 5 of Spades, 8 of Spades, & 6 of Hearts.

You may be right, in theory, but here in the practical world, theory means nothing if being categorically right means being categorically a bully. The hill you have chosen to die on is large enough to ensure that there will be no one left to celebrate your trifling victory. However, the hill is short enough that you can choose to let this one go and rejoin your friends in the valley you have abandoned. Letting go of the argument will hurt your pride, but like all medicines, the long-term effect is worth the short-term discomfort.

This modern deck of playing cards looks like it has been locked up for nearly a century, waiting for someone to come along and rediscover it. The intricate casing has aged beautifully as the tuck has yellowed but the red has kept its vibrant color through the years. This deck of playing cards is printed by Bicycle and produced by Collectable Playing Cards. The Bicycle Vintage Playing Cards is ©Bicycle Cards.

“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.
