Today’s cards: 4 of Swords, 9 of Swords, & Knight of Chalices.

You don’t have to be here. You don’t have to spend every waking moment preparing for a conflict that will never happen. You don’t have to keep preparing for the worst possible outcome that you are afraid you will be blamed for no matter how well you braced to the best of your abilities. You don’t have to surrender yourself to a duty that was never yours in the first place. But first you have to choose to try to do something for yourself first, and that will be the hardest choice of them all.

The Fey Tarot is the work of Mara Aghem. While the card names mostly track conventional tarot naming, the scenes differ from Pamela Coleman Smith’s renditions. Not all minors display the full pip count of their number. Rather, the scenes are meant to evoke the intuition of the reader rather than depend on long lists of regurgitated meanings. The Fey Tarot is ©Lo Scarabeo.

“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.
