It will take perseverance, but it is possible to cut your way through the mess that has grown up around you. Though others will call for you to not push yourself, to stand still and wait for the matters to decay on their own timing, if you indulge that call, you risk decaying with them in place. Instead, look to the matter and see clearly what cannot be rescued and where the seeds of tomorrow have already been planted. Work to save that tomorrow that is still coming. Don’t work to memorialize a past that never happened.

All designs, illustrations, logistics, photography, and production is handled by Arthur. The TrueBlack Tarot is ©TrueBlack, LLC.

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.
