Hold on. Not so fast. What was supposed to be a neat grab and dash has turned into a capture and hold. While you still have what you need to get through this matter, what you don’t have is the opportunity to come through on your terms. Be patient, but be thorough. Don’t leave anything to assumptions. Since you’re going to be here a while, double check what you have and what you intend to do.


The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However creator and artist Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

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.
