It is said that hindsight is 20/20, to mean that looking back you can see clearly where you have made mistakes in your life. However, how you reflect on those actions have just as much a bearing in your reinterpretations than the actions themselves. You did wrong, and you suffered for it. However, if you have done all you can to make amends, there is no requirement for you to carry that burden forward. Make peace with yourself and see in the reflection that you are not that person any longer. Then put the mirror down, and start moving forward again.


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.

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.
