Today’s cards: Black Onyx, (unknown), & (unknown).

Unlike Noxporium’s Stop Card, the Black Onyx of the Dust II Onyx Tarot does not tell the reader to look away. Instead, the card tells the reader to look deeper. As it is the first card of today’s throw, instead of telling the audience what to make of their day, the audience is encouraged to sit down and consider what to make for themselves. You have the tools you need. How will you use them?


The Dust II Onyx tarot deck is Courtney Alexander’s homage to her Black heritage and to the Black matriarchs and leaders of her communities. The deck is also a love offering to the LGBTQIA+ community and is presented as a tool for every person within the African diaspora to feel a connection to without prejudice.

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.
