Update: It appears the missing boy in this case found his way safely to Florida. There are no details about how that happened, or how long he may have stayed in New York City. http://www.wmur.com/article/missing-sunapee-teen-found-safe-in-florida/19459142 First a note on the method. The main problem I'm finding with this approach is that I'm using missing-person notices … Continue reading Where Is Isaiah? – A Missing Person Spread

“Oh, No, Not Again!” (A Simple Yes-or-No Reading)
I have a simple yes-or-no spread (titled, oddly enough, "A Simple Yes-or-No Spread") that I decided to use to find out whether New England will be hit by another major "Nor'easter" snowstorm next week. I used the Anna K Tarot, my most reliable weather-forecasting deck. For the Significator, I chose the 3 of Swords, which … Continue reading “Oh, No, Not Again!” (A Simple Yes-or-No Reading)
A Clash of Wills: Trump vs. Mueller
I used my “Enemy at the Gate” vulnerability spread to examine the ongoing confrontation between President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Robert Mueller over alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. I chose the Tarot of the Golden Serpent for the Significator and the “quint” cards, and the Star Tarot for the main reading. … Continue reading A Clash of Wills: Trump vs. Mueller
A “Take No Prisoners” Example Reading
I decided to test my transition spread with a current situation in the State of Vermont. The State's only nuclear power plant, closed since 2014, is under negotiation for sale to a company that claims it can decommission the site much more quickly and cheaply than the present owner (incidentally walking away with several million … Continue reading A “Take No Prisoners” Example Reading
The Multi-Billion-Dollar Question
Full Disclosure: Before I get into this, know that I'm a cryptocurrency skeptic, even if Microsoft did infuse it with credibility. I just can't see how something with no intrinsic value, created out of thin air and fueled only by hope and greed, can have a secure place in "real world" economics. Some critics call … Continue reading The Multi-Billion-Dollar Question
An Example Reading with the “Destiny’s Dartboard” Timing Spread
I had a near-term timing question that I thought would be a perfect opportunity for testing this spread. A couple of weeks ago I submitted an article to the publisher of The Cartomancer quarterly journal for possible publication. (This wasn't a "shot in the dark" since I've had several articles published there already). She got … Continue reading An Example Reading with the “Destiny’s Dartboard” Timing Spread
An Example Reading with the Personalized Astrological Spread
I performed a reading with the personalized astrological spread I described in my last post. The question was "How will our planned cross-State household relocation go this Summer?" I used the Thoth deck for the house/sign template and the Liber T, Tarot of Stars Eternal as the reading deck. My Significator, the Knight of Cups, … Continue reading An Example Reading with the Personalized Astrological Spread
The Point of No Return
I did a reading for a woman yesterday who was wondering about the advisability of trying to reconnect with a former friend. The friendship failed under unhappy circumstances almost six months ago and they hadn't seen each other until a chance meeting at a local supermarket, a cordial but very brief encounter that opened no … Continue reading The Point of No Return
Joe and Jill: A “Moral Dilemma” Example Reading
All images © U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT and Lo Scarabeo, Torino, Italy This is a hypothetical reading addressing a common real-world scenario that I worked up to demonstrate my "Moral Dilemma" spread. The principals in this reading are entirely fictional. I used the Night Sun Tarot to populate the "Left-Hand Path" (or "dark" … Continue reading Joe and Jill: A “Moral Dilemma” Example Reading
A Simple Question-and-Answer Spread
Those of us who create a lot of spreads sometimes get so caught up in the game that we neglect the simple stuff. This spread is a substitute for the three-card and five-card line that puts a different spin on the reading: not so much "past/present/future" as countervailing influences that will push the answer one … Continue reading A Simple Question-and-Answer Spread
