Today’s cards: Animal – XV (reversed), The Emperor – IV, & 4 of Swords.

Whatever your first instinct is, your first reaction to it should be to not do the thing. Keep control over yourself lest you be goaded into yielding control to the person that set up the encounter in the first place. Standing back and allowing the perpetual motion machine to spin without you is against your nature, but will be the best thing you can do for yourself all day.


The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However creator and artist Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

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.
