Since I last read on this subject (a planned trip to Boston with my brother), I've contracted another nasty head cold (my fourth or fifth one since last November; I think I know where they're coming from but that isn't important here). I did a reading with the Traditional Kipper deck to see how this … Continue reading Kipperkarten Practice Reading: A Trip At Risk

Julian Assange: A Psycard Reading
When I heard that Julian Assange had been forcibly removed from the Ecuadoran embassy in London, I decided to do a reading to see what fate might await him. I have two decks with a literal "Prison" card in them - the Psycards and the Kipperkarten - and chose one of them for this reading … Continue reading Julian Assange: A Psycard Reading
2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Roll-up
I've completed all of the readings for the 2020 Democratic Presidential nomination that I intend to do (the rest of the contenders seem too unlikely to bother with), and will now compare the "Grand Quintessence" cards to see who stands out from the pack. Bernie Sanders Grand Quintessence: The Lovers Verdict: He may represent the … Continue reading 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Roll-up
Paired-Deck Reading #2: An Old Acquaintance
As I envisioned, the pocket-size Centennial Edition of the RWS "in a tin" is the perfect companion for Pixie's Astounding Lenormand in two-deck readings. The latter was adapted by Edmund Zebrowski from Pamela Colman Smith's artwork, so there is an agreeable consistency in the images, and the size is roughly equivalent. I decided to do … Continue reading Paired-Deck Reading #2: An Old Acquaintance
Donald Trump’s 2020 “Electability Profile” Reading
Since he isn't likely to face a Republican challenger for the Party's nomination, I decided to focus this reading on Trump's chances to win re-election as shown by his current credibility with the same constituencies I used for the Democratic candidates. In broad terms, none of this looks very promising for Mr. Trump, although he … Continue reading Donald Trump’s 2020 “Electability Profile” Reading
What Happened To Samuel? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: Samuel Gray was found dead near railroad tracks in Dover, NH on Thursday morning, confirming the prediction of this reading. There were no further details in the updated news article other than that the death did not seem to be suspicious No autopsy results had been published as of October 3, 2019, although Gray … Continue reading What Happened To Samuel? – A Missing Person Reading
Kirsten Gillibrand’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Sometimes the tarot is so precise it's uncanny. Gillibrand has built her campaign around a number of women's rights issues, and has made a point of identifying herself as a mom. Wouldn't you know that the Empress - the card signifying the Archetypal Mother - appeared twice in the quintessence section, and the Moon - … Continue reading Kirsten Gillibrand’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Game of Thrones: Who Makes It To The End?
Here is the reading I promised yesterday. The goal was to see which of the remaining Game of Thrones characters that amount to anything are still standing (and still human) at the end of the season. First I shuffled and dealt the ten tarot significator cards into a line (try shuffling ten cards sometime, it … Continue reading Game of Thrones: Who Makes It To The End?
What Happened to Linda? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: Linda Minery, who had been missing from Hillsboro, NH since April, was just found dead inside a storage unit that she rented in that town, approximately ten weeks since her disappearance. https://www.concordmonitor.com/Hillsboro-NH-missing-woman-s-body-found-in-storage-unit-27394864 Although we don't like to see validation of our readings in this manner, this one was quite accurate, predicting ten "units of … Continue reading What Happened to Linda? – A Missing Person Reading
A Game of Thrones Tarot Cast
I decided that I'm going to do a combined tarot and Lenormand reading to see who among the remaining Game of Thrones characters (that anyone cares about) is likely to survive the White Walker onslaught. But first I had to assign significators to each of them. I will post the outcome tomorrow. Daenerys Targaryen as … Continue reading A Game of Thrones Tarot Cast
