Today’s cards: Ten of Disks, Five of Swords, & Six of Wands.

You started out with everything, so how did it come to this? By not paying attention to what you had and paying too much attention to what others are doing with their resources. But, for all the pain of loss that you are carrying, there is a way to transform this into a victory: Turn your attention back to what you still have. What is still in your hands that you can use today to make things better for yourself, no matter how “trivial” or “ugly”?


Bryan Lahr’s Wyzard of Odd tarot deck is a work of art featuring carefully crafted images of literal smoke and mirrors. The deck is based on the Thoth and the margins are lined with correspondences from various esoteric practices. The slightly oversize deck works well for contemplation as the images fold onto themselves and unfolds upon the viewer. In following with the tradition set by the Thoth deck, Wyzard Princes are equivalent to Waite’s Knights, and Wyzard Knights are equivalent to Waite’s Kings.

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.
