Today’s cards: Nine of Pentacles, Death – XIII, & Ace of Cups.

You were told you had to have it as a mark of your station, but you were also told that it could not be touched because actually indulging in the thing was below your station. This contradiction was never meant to be resolved, nor was it ever meant to be a test of your convictions. Regardless of what you choose to do with the thing, something is going to be lost to you as a result. Choose the action that will allow you to continue having hope in yourself and hope in tomorrow. Those that try to require you to justify your actions can remain in the past. You have a life to live.

All designs, illustrations, logistics, photography, and production is handled by Arthur. The TrueBlack Tarot is ©TrueBlack, LLC.

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.
