Today’s cards: King of Pentacles (reversed), 5 of Cups, & The Hanged Man – XII (reversed).

To say that it’s falling apart is to be kind. The tighter you try to hold it together, the more pieces disintegrate into disarray. Adapt to the changing circumstances and take advantage of the salvageable pieces still intact lest the matter becomes entirely unrecoverable and you are used as a byword and a warning to others instead.


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.
