You didn’t get it. You already knew that you weren’t going to get it, so this is no surprise. What you don’t yet know is why you didn’t get it. That piece of information arrives today if you are willing to accept it. It will be a hard read and it will be harder to understand that part of the blame does fall on you. You were not in the wrong to reach for the stars. But you were in the wrong to assume that the stars would make themselves available. There are other considerations to review, so put your pride in the corner and listen to the lesson.


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.
