Today’s cards: Prince of Wands, Seven of Swords, & Seven of Wands.

So sure that you were going to get your way that you dismissed concerns about your methods. Well, your engine’s fire has burnt up the very thing you were trying to achieve and here you are in the ashes of your making. There is a way through, but you will not be the one to spearhead it. It will not be achieved by force of will or by force of strength. You are going to have to cooperate with others for strategic and mutual gain and just let your pride quietly burn from productive restraint.


Bryan Lahr’s Wyzard of Odd tarot deck is a work of art featuring carefully crafted images of literal smoke and mirrors. The deck is based on the Thoth and the margins are lined with correspondences from various esoteric practices. The slightly oversize deck works well for contemplation as the images fold onto themselves and unfolds upon the viewer. In following with the tradition set by the Thoth deck, Wyzard Princes are equivalent to Waite’s Knights, and Wyzard Knights are equivalent to Waite’s Kings.
