Today’s cards: 3 of Coins, The Pope, & The Magician.

You already have it. Not just the recognition of how far you have come, but the imminent realization of how far you can go from here. You have it, but it is not enough for you. To proceed further is to challenge the knowledge that brought you this far, but you already know that and are likely a little perturbed that the cards are bringing this up. Very well, then, the cards have one more reflection for you: How far are you willing to go until you are satisfied? How will you know when you are satisfied? How much of what you have built already are you willing to let go and fall down in your pursuit of satisfaction? If you’re not ready to give up your all, then turn around now and settle in what you have already secured.


Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is a richly decorated esoteric book in the form of 78 tarot cards. Sometimes wildly diverging from Waite’s road, the deck can read as slim as necessary and as deep as the reader is willing to focus. Tavaglione’s Stairs of Gold Tarot is ©US Games Systems.

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.
