Although he hasn't formally declared his candidacy for President in the 2020 election (and it's looking increasingly less likely that he will), I decided to do this reading to assess Joe Biden's chances. I've been using the Albano-Waite RWS deck for these spreads due to its vivid colors and easy readability. Note that my observations … Continue reading Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading

Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
As promised, I performed my "Candidate's Tarot Profile" spread on Bernie Sanders' 2020 run for President of the United States. The bottom line is that he might be electable if he can convince enough people that he really is on their side. As we shall see, this could be a tough nut to crack. Note … Continue reading Bernie Sanders’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Paired-Deck Reading #1: A Family Matter
A few of the Lenormand writers I follow have mentioned the practice of merging tarot or oracle cards with a Lenormand deck, usually by drawing a handful of cards from an alternate pack as a postscript to the Lenormand reading. I've never found this particularly useful, but lately I've been thinking how it might be … Continue reading Paired-Deck Reading #1: A Family Matter
A Celtic Cross Health Reading
In yesterday's post regarding my upcoming physical examination, I mentioned that a follow-up Celtic Cross reading would be justified by the testimony shown in the preliminary five-card tarot line. I went ahead and did that using the Albano-Waite tarot, with reversals. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In this context, the numerous … Continue reading A Celtic Cross Health Reading
Shootout: Tarot vs. Lenormand
One of the advantages of having more than one arrow in your cartomantic quiver is that you have choices as to which one to bring to the target. The disadvantage is that you have to choose. My main reading tool from 1972 until 2012 was the tarot, and specifically the Thoth deck. But when I … Continue reading Shootout: Tarot vs. Lenormand
A Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down Example Reading
I put the unsatisfactory reading I did yesterday through my new "dead or alive" model as a test case, using the Joie de Vivre tarot. The situation involved a young girl in Connecticut who went missing in 1973 while riding her bike a short distance from home. She went to retrieve an item that she … Continue reading A Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down Example Reading
What Happened to Maura? A Missing Person Reading, Take #2
A little over a year ago I posted a reading concerning the whereabouts of Maura Murray, a missing 21-year-old college student from Massachusetts who disappeared in North Haverhill, NH on February 9, 2004. https://parsifalswheeldivination.wordpress.com/2018/02/09/2004-cold-case-where-is-maura/ Since that time I've created a new spread to explore not only where missing persons are, but also what may have … Continue reading What Happened to Maura?

Where Is Eddy? – A Missing Person Reading
Eddy Segall, a then-28-year-old Nashua, NH woman, was reported missing on June 15, 1977 and hasn't been seen or heard from since. https://www.wmur.com/article/new-hampshire-unsolved-case-file-what-happened-to-eddy-segall/26716667 Using the Joie de Vivre deck, I performed my "World of Hurt" missing-person spread to see what it might tell me about her past and present circumstances. I ran the spread twice, … Continue reading Where Is Eddy? – A Missing Person Reading
The Joie de Vivre Tarot
Paulina Cassidy's second deck has been described by some reviewers as "child-like," an impression that is explicitly touted by the wording on the box, leading to the assumption that it is light-weight and not suitable for answering serious questions. This is an older deck, first published in 2011, that never caught my eye because my … Continue reading The Joie de Vivre Tarot
The “Ivory Gambit” Spread
Lately I've become fascinated with using dice and tarot in combination to produce unique forms of divination. Here the gambit (opening move) is provided by rolling dice to identify four trump cards to serve as the basis for the reading. Those trump cards are then used to extract four sets of "reading" cards from which … Continue reading The “Ivory Gambit” Spread
