Today’s cards: III of Swords, The Magician, & VIII of Pentacles.

Your assumptions were in error, but you already knew this. What you are not seeing is that your conclusions are also flawed because your remorse at being wrong once is shielding you from the possibility that you might be wrong again. Stop. Put everything down and walk away for a bit. Instead of actively running into the next brick wall, sit down in front of it instead. Take a look at what is going on around you, at what your friends are doing, at what the grass is doing, at what the world is doing without any consideration that you are there. How can you join in that dance and flow of just being? When you see an opening, get up, step in, and try again from this new and different perspective. Don’t let the pain of regret keep you from trying again.

This deck of 78 small tarot cards illustrated by Julie Paschkis and published by Running Press is part of a modest and portable set titled “Tarot: The Complete Kit”. The palm size cards feature vignettes that summarize individual card meanings yet also offer points for inspiration for other interpretations. The Running Press Tarot is ©Running Press.

“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.
