Today’s cards: Lil’ Staff, Ten of Gourds, & Three of Gourds.

It’s plain to everyone around you that you want to jump into that thing and just take care of business immediately. What is not clear is whether or not you are going to fuck it up in the process by being so rush-rush, you are running the risk of overlooking something important. While it’s good to approach the task with all that you can bring to bear, don’t forget to work at a measured pace so it doesn’t shatter before you can assemble the final goal.


The Dust II Onyx tarot deck is Courtney Alexander’s homage to her Black heritage and to the Black matriarchs and leaders of her communities. The deck is also a love offering to the LGBTQIA+ community and is presented as a tool for every person within the African diaspora to feel a connection to without prejudice.

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.
