When the question is asked about if you’re moving too soon or too fast, the answer is “yes”. You sprinted out of a gate marked “walking speed only” and now you have outraced your resources. Slow down for sure, but don’t stop. The very same earnest honesty that put you in this problem will be the means to recalibrate your expectations so when you get that needed assistance, you can put it to use where it is needed instead of where you wish it was instead. Commit yourself to a long-term plan and you’ll come through one step at a time.


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.
