Today’s cards: The Tower – XVI, The High Priestess – II, & 2 of Pentacles.

As you and everyone else in the situation stand back and find out just how bad things have gotten, it will be tempting to focus only on that and wring your hands in despair. Don’t wear them out just yet, you’ll need them to throttle those who knew this would be the outcome of their fucking around but gave the impression that things couldn’t possibly get this bad. Be focused on your actions today: Don’t work to save others from their hubris. Work on placing yourself in a better position to face tomorrow.


The Bosch Tarot is a series of collages based on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. Using a unique set of meanings that doesn’t always aligns with Waite, it will sometimes read direct, and sometimes read like a koan. It is a good deck for introspection and examination of internal motives. The Bosch Tarot is presented by Atanas A. Atanassov and ©Lo Scarabeo.
