While every nerve in your body is singing the glorious virtues of percussive maintenance, this is not the time to test how much trouble can you withstand before you break. Turn that attention elsewhere and examine the circumstances you are in. There are other ways to get out of there, but it will require patience and careful maneuvering to make it happen. Swallow your pride, take things one step at a time, and let someone else be the distraction you need to slip away and do your own thing.


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.
