Today’s cards: Knight of Wands, Ace of Wands (reversed), & 5 of Cups (reversed).

Talk time over, let’s go. There is no need to create a new solution to this problem you have faced many times before. Your enemy is nihilism and the way to neutralize its main weapon is to move out of its way. Even if you don’t know which direction to move at first, just go and allow the momentum to guide you to the right place. Why bother to do anything at all? Because you can.


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.
