Today’s cards: Princess of Swords, Queen of Swords, & The Fool – 0.

They expected you to just take their word for it, though if you had, that would have only delayed the inevitable revelation. But now that you know, what can you do about it? If you rush forward armed with naught but information, you will wind up in a worse position than you did before. This is the time to wait for your advantage to mature. It will be painful to sit still and watch them think they have succeeded. When the time comes, get up and move on. Use the pain to remind yourself why you’re breaking with tradition by choosing to live for yourself.


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.
