Each suit in the Bag of Bones playing card deck tells a visual story progressing from Ace to Ten. A heartwarming lamia, a persistent gardener, a spider’s catch, and a clumsy walker make for quick stories. The court cards stand alone, but have tales for themselves. For those wishing something more pleasant, Artiphany also has decks featuring dogs, kittens, and mermaids.

Today’s cards: 3 of Clubs, 10 of Hearts, & 9 of Spades.

Brace yourself. The holidays are coming. And with them is all that insular family drama that you have been trying to dodge all calendar year since the last explosion season. Enough is enough. Familial duty only goes so far, and when it starts impacting your health it is past time to do something about it. So brace yourself. The time to assert yourself is coming. It is going to be hard, and there will be many tears shed along the way, but it’s time you start enjoying your life for you and not for some fictitious nostalgia of feelings that never happened.
