Today’s cards: Five of Knives, Pa, & Dr. Buzzard.

There is a lot being laid upon the table, and the truth is only one piece among many. Everyone involved feels justified in doing what they are doing, but their excuses will not support you when it is your turn to be examined. Do what you have to do to protect you and yours. It may mean holding a straight face while you say whatever it takes to buy enough time to get you out of harm’s way.


Tayannah Lee McQuilar’s Hoodoo Tarot celebrates the complex American Rootwork tradition by integrating esoteric and botanical knowledge from Hoodoo with the divination system of the tarot. Structured like a traditional tarot deck, each of the 78 cards features full-color paintings by magical-realist artist Katelan Foisy and elegantly interprets the classical tarot imagery through depiction of legendary rootworkers past and present as well as important Hoodoo symbolism.

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.
