That hurts. There’s no getting around it. The only way out is through, and you’re not sure if it will be worth the effort to try. Yes, it will be. What happened cannot be changed, but your perception and response to it and what happened after, can. It will take work and perseverance. It will require you to examine yourself and your relationships. Things will change because of it. Take control of that examination so you can change yourself into someone that can keep going.


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.
