What do you do when the relationship you have been depending on turns out to have been constructed from an assumption that was never correct? Do you continue on as if nothing had happened, hoping that the decisions you made together along the way will create a new foundation to rebuild from? Or do you mark that shelter as unsafe and uninhabitable, requiring a full inspection of everything that has happened before you can decide if to abandon the lot or to attempt repairs? Regardless of which tactic you decide to pursue, realize that the wrongs that led to this point will not be avenged, and that trying to get reparations will only lead you to being more entangled in something not good for you. Cut your losses. Examine your present. Decide your future. Begin working towards it.


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.
