Don’t do it. You think you have everything in the cards at your disposal, but while that basket may be full, the supports are rotted. The moment you try to do anything with it, it is going to fall apart. Leave it be and walk away. If you can’t do that, at the very least investigate the matter completely and leave nothing for granted. Go at it with the full intent to prove that everything is okay and document as you go, because if you break the basket it will become your mess to clean up.


The Universal Waite is Mary Hanson-Roberts’s recolored rendition of the Waite-Smith deck. Nearly identical lining is softened by gentle coloring. Some faces have been reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. The Universal Waite Tarot is ©US Games Systems, Inc.

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.
