Today’s cards: A red key borne by green wings against a black background, a blue key beside a yellow flower against a red background, and a series of green knotted thread crisscrossing against a yellow background.
Hope is fleeting and impossible to catch. Chase it just the same. Hope is stubborn and impervious to persuasion. Court it just the same. Hope is not a trophy to catch and pin in place. Pursue it just the same. Hope is a reason you give yourself to make it through another day. Take a rest and begin again tomorrow.
The Motif Deck is a unique cartomancy system designed and painted by Lee Bradford where the images have no inherent meaning, and so it’s up to the reader to assign significance. The cards consist of seven objects interacting with each other: hand, candle, rose, feather, key, string, and cup. Each image consists of one or two of these items on a plain colored background. These images were designed to be meaningless – they are just objects. What gives them meaning is the combination of color, frequency, placement, and interpretation from the querent and the reader.

“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.
