Today’s cards: Knight of Swords, VI of Wands, & X of Swords.

Thoughts are free, and using the thinking power of someone else means less work needed to figure things out, and now you know why everyone else has been coming to you to save them from their mistakes. And while helping each person only takes “just a moment”, all those stolen moments adds to to you not having enough time to help yourself. Today, you are going to have to make a choice between helping everyone else and going without, or taking the time to help yourself even though it means everyone else is just going to have to make do. This decision is going to pain you even though you know the right answer is to help yourself first. You can’t save everyone, and it was never your place to save others from the consequences of their actions. Don’t let other people’s ideals isolate you from yours.


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.
