Every thing would be so much better if only they let you help them, right? You know what to do here. You have seen this before and know how to avoid the hidden obstacles. All you have to do is offer and all they have to do is accept, right? No. Just because you know the answer does not mean it is your duty to place it at their feet. This is a good way to set yourself up to be taken advantage of and have your resources stolen for someone else’s ends. This is their trial to navigate. Your trial is to keep your mouth shut and your hands in your pockets.


Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is a richly decorated esoteric book in the form of 78 tarot cards. Sometimes wildly diverging from Waite’s road, the deck can read as slim as necessary and as deep as the reader is willing to focus. Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is ©US Games Systems.

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.
