Today’s cards: The Emperor – IV, Ten of Cups, & Nine of Wands.

They’re happy because they get to do what they love to do: Make everyone around them miserable. This is not your battle to engage, but if you must participate, do just enough to secure yourself and your escape.

Bryan Lahr’s Wyzard of Odd tarot deck is a work of art featuring carefully crafted images of literal smoke and mirrors. The deck is based on the Thoth and the margins are lined with correspondences from various esoteric practices. The slightly oversize deck works well for contemplation as the images fold onto themselves and unfolds upon the viewer. In following with the tradition set by the Thoth deck, Wyzard Princes are equivalent to Waite’s Knights, and Wyzard Knights are equivalent to Waite’s Kings.
