Today’s cards: Nine of Swords, Two of Disks, & Three of Swords.

You thought you had settled the matter for good and had worked out a compromise that was agreeable to all parties. But did you consider that not everyone was acting in good faith? What was supposed to be the start of recovery has turned into the salting of the fields, and now recovery looks even further away. Or, it would be, if you continued working with those that do not have your personal state at heart. You are going to have to cut away that which does not serve you and that which actively hurts you, which will be very painful in the moment. Do it anyway, as the healing that this action begins will reveal how you can continue bettering yourself and your circumstances.


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.
