Today’s cards: A red key sits in a glass of green fluid against a blue background, a green flower has been tied up by a red string winding around it like a maypole against a yellow background, and a yellow feather hangs by its calamus from a blue string against a red background.
You keep telling yourself that if you devour everything and make it yours, then nothing will age and nothing will rot. But in your attempt to do just that, you are overlooking that you are aging yourself faster than time would do on its own and the very things you are seeking to preserve are instead rotting in place because they can’t be the things that they always have been. Let them go. Let yourself go. Let go of the notion that you can freeze time and prevent your fears from coming true. It is a bitter medicine to drink, but it is the one that will help you heal and move on.
The Motif Deck is a unique cartomancy system designed and painted by Lee Bradford where the images have no inherent meaning, and so it’s up to the reader to assign significance. The cards consist of seven objects interacting with each other: hand, candle, rose, feather, key, string, and cup. Each image consists of one or two of these items on a plain colored background. These images were designed to be meaningless – they are just objects. What gives them meaning is the combination of color, frequency, placement, and interpretation from the querent and the reader.

“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.
