The opportunity is there to take advantage of something that is not your due. It is a small thing, easily overlooked, easily dismissed, so surely no one would care if you gave in and had that wee, little indulgence, right? From small actions, come large consequences. Perhaps there are more eyes on that indulgence than you thought you saw. Perhaps it had already been promised to someone else and they had not arrived to collect their due. Perhaps the better thing is for you to admit to yourself why you want to take advantage, and to work towards earning it the right way than to open a jar that was meant to stay closed.


Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s sturdy web, and an absentminded gentleman make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have individual tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany has more gentle decks featuring dogs and kittens. The Bag of Bones Playing Cards are under exclusive copyright to ©Inky-Dinky 2008.

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.
