You want the happy ever after that you have been promised from as long as you understood what a promise was. You still haven’t realized that there is the responsibility of a new beginning that will come when this story ends. It is being withheld from you for a reason: Namely, that you have not done the work to understand what it is you are asking for. Once you do, once you realize that the ending is really a beginning, once you are willing to take on the responsibility of moving past the ending you have been hoping for, then you will be granted the ability to end what is happening now, and begin the next step of your journey in life.


The Universal Tarot of Marseille is primarily based on a Swiss deck created in 1751 by by Claude Burdel. The pips have color backgrounds to assist readers with distinguishing suite and the majors have had the lines refined and color backgrounds added to soften the overall look.
