side-by-side: three of wands

Me: Gosh, why am I having such a hard time reading non-RWS decks for other people? Also me, realizing on taking this picture: Three of my five decks are Marseilles-style decks. February’s card, based on my 2019 spread, is the Three of Wands. Three in a family, that’s a magic number. I will admit that…

spike

I keep thinking, I need to write something, I need to write something. But it’s been hard to get myself to the computer. I’ve been pulling my daily cards and have been doing a specific spread (that I made up!) for the past few days. I’m getting Ace of Pentacles repeatedly — it was my…

rainy day elemental spread

It’s the first real storm of 2019 this weekend, and I spent almost an hour out in it — my coat soaked through, my shoes squishy (and hopefully not ruined), my leather purse dark with rain. Once I finally got home, I dried off a bit and then pulled out my cards. Yesterday in class,…
