Today’s cards: King of Wands (reversed), The Sun – XIX (reversed), & King of Coins.

Here you are, caught between the irresistible force and the unmovable object with nary a glint of light to help you find your way out. What are you supposed to do when the agency you already have is not being respected? Sit down and let them work out their conflict without you. You are neither the arbiter nor the prize in their fight, so become the spectator and enjoy the show.


The Sweeney Tarot was designed to read with reversals. Having the expected 78 cards, one could use any system of meanings with it. However creator and artist Lee Bradford has put deep thought into the meanings of the Sweeney Tarot, making sure it is approachable by all and without occult or religious concerns that would restrict its audience or use.

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.
