Today’s cards: The Chariot – XII, Four of Swords, & Four of Cups.

According to your itinerary, the time is approaching to distance yourself from the crush of immediate matters and retreat to a safe distance where you can process what you have done so far and what you will do when you get back. But we all know what happens to well-made plans, and today is no exception. It’s not the regular work that will be a problem, but the very things that are supposed to be a relief to you. At what point do you acknowledge that sometimes the best plan is to have no plan at all?


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.
