UPDATE: I was just going through my I Ching Pack looking for a card for one of my tarot/I Ching syncretism essays, and out popped the missing Devil card. I last used the pack in November of 2023 but there is no evidence that I combined it with my Conver Ben-Dov TdM at the time; … Continue reading Lost Tarot Card: A Horary Certainty

Lenormand Lost & Found: A Novel Approach
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Here is something for my Lenormand followers since I already posted on tarot today. In the past I've used horary astrologer John Frawley's sign-and-house meanings to create tarot spreads for the purpose of locating lost items and missing people. I haven't been so diligent with Lenormand, so here I will attempt to rectify … Continue reading Lenormand Lost & Found: A Novel Approach
Lenormand and Lost Items
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I haven't used the Lenormand oracle much for tracing lost objects (or people) since horary astrology works so well. But I occasionally come across online requests for help with lost-item readings, and as a result I thought a little harder about its potential. (Apparently I'm not the first to do so, but to … Continue reading Lenormand and Lost Items
Two Lenormand Lost-Item Readings: Home and Away
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Following up on my failed lost-item reading from yesterday, I again used the "movable house" method with location meanings from the expanded list below and created two new readings for the same question: "Where is my specialty grilling cookware?" These "house" cards are randomly-drawn cards that serve as "location indicators" telling me where … Continue reading Two Lenormand Lost-Item Readings: Home and Away
Missing Cookware: A Lenormand Lost & Found Reading
UPDATE: I searched the area along the north wall of the basement but found nothing, so I did two more readings that I will post today. AUTHOR'S NOTE: We have mislaid some specialty cookware that I use on the barbecue grill, so I decided to throw my Lenormand lost-and-found spread that applies the location markers … Continue reading Missing Cookware: A Lenormand Lost & Found Reading
“Where, Oh Where, Is My . . .”
. . . little dog, gold necklace, missing brother, true love?" There has been a recent uptick in questions on the social-media pages about the use of the tarot to locate anything that has gone missing or has yet to be found. The first thing to point out in this regard is that, while tarot … Continue reading “Where, Oh Where, Is My . . .”
The “Elemental Checkpoint” Subject Location Spread
Although I find horary astrology much more effective than tarot for locating misplaced objects or missing people, there is something to be said for using the elemental properties of the minor and court cards as pointers for where to look for the subject of a reading. I built this spread around the suggestions of astrologer … Continue reading The “Elemental Checkpoint” Subject Location Spread
An Astro-Tarot Location Method
When dealing with lost items or missing persons, I often default to horary astrology because of its proven effectiveness. But I'm always looking for ways to augment that approach with tarot. I made a previous attempt to blend the location principles of horary astrology from John Frawley's book The Horary Textbook with a tarot layout … Continue reading An Astro-Tarot Location Method
A Horary Slam-Dunk
I recently lost the gemstone out of one of my rings. First, I'll pass on what I know about the situation: I had just finished shaving, had let the water out of the sink and was washing my hands when I noticed that the setting of the ring was empty, although the stone had been … Continue reading A Horary Slam-Dunk
