Why are you online? What is it that you are trying to satisfy with social media? Are your needs being met or are you catching yourself doomscrolling for one more thing to distract yourself with? Sometime today, when you have a few minutes to check your feed, close the app and put the phone away instead. Spend that time away from social media. Go look out the window. Hold that cup with both hands and notice what is around your favorite sitting spot. You can always catch up with your dash another time. Pick a moment and stand there.


This 39 card deck by Caitlín Matthews and Virginia Lee includes two sets of Man and Woman cards, along with an extra Diviner card. The two sets of Man and Woman allows the reading to be tailored to the circumstances of the Querent. One pair is portrayed with light skin and the other pair is portrayed with dark skin. The unused cards are removed from the deck before shuffling. The Diviner (37) is not required for Lenormand reading. However, I include it with my throws as it makes an excellent “Stop Card” when first on the table and a “pay attention to what follows” card when appearing elsewhere.

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.
