It’s not the action you wanted to take, but the matter took so long that the decision was made for you. Rather than keep poking at your wounded pride for being removed from the process, look at what the consequences is bringing to you. It’s not the resources that you were hoping for, but they sure are the resources you need to keep from being overwhelmed by everything else that’s going on around you. But you can only take advantage of it if you stop whining and accept what happened.


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.

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.
