Today’s cards: Queen of Swords, The Wheel of Fortune – X, & King of Coins.

You want to hold the present still so the past can catch up, but it is getting harder and harder to lie to yourself about how that is working out for you. The world is not going to hold itself hostage so you can feel better about what happened. Moving on will involve taking on some risk, but do consider that it is worth losing the pain that you know in exchange for the relief you have forgotten about.


Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is a richly decorated esoteric book in the form of 78 tarot cards. Sometimes wildly diverging from Waite’s road, the deck can read as slim as necessary and as deep as the reader is willing to focus. Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is ©US Games Systems.

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.
