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 catch, and a clumsy walker make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany also has decks featuring dogs, kittens, and mermaids.

Today’s cards: 5 of Diamonds, 10 of Diamonds, & Ace of Spades.

The day starts out with laughter and joy. Intoxicating mirth makes it feel like nothing bad could ever happen today. Be sober with your celebrations. Enjoy the moment but do not be lost to it. This post serves as your memento mori.
