I promised some of my followers an example reading with my new missing person spread, and since I had already laid out the cards for this cold case using my "Train to Nowhere" spread but haven't analyzed and posted it yet, I decided to do both readings for comparative purposes. This is the case of … Continue reading Where Is Curtis? – One Cold Case, Two Readings

Where Is Brandon? – A Missing-Person Reading
UPDATE: The subject of this reading, Brandon Chicklis was recently found dead off the side of a road in Rindge, NH.

Where Is Rachel? – A Missing-Person Reading
New Hampshire has a number of long-outstanding missing-person "cold cases." This one goes back to 1980. https://www.doj.nh.gov/criminal/cold-case/victim-list/rachael-garden.htm I subjected it to my "Train to Nowhere" missing-person spread, using the Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus deck with reversals. I chose the Princess of Disks as the Significator. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz9ay5wf44526er/Train%20to%20Nowhere%20Spread.pdf?raw=1 All images © 2015 M.M.

The Thoth and the Liber T: A Deck Comparison
I've used the Thoth deck with the Liber T: Tarot of Stars Eternal in two-deck readings for some time, but it never occurred to me to size them up using my "Friend or Foe" deck comparison spread. The Liber T is an almost worshipful rendering of the Crowley/Harris Thoth - at least in the Major … Continue reading The Thoth and the Liber T: A Deck Comparison
Where Is Shannon? A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: According to his family (in the linked news article update), Shannon White was "found" deceased. The fact that there is no mention of foul play or a fatal accident, which would be newsworthy, suggests it may have been a natural death or at most a suicide. The case is now in the hands of … Continue reading Where Is Shannon? A Missing Person Reading
Tabula Mundi and the Relationship Crisis Spread
Lately I've been working more and more with the wonderful Tabula Mundi Colores Arcus tarot, a "Thoth clone" deck by M.M. Meleen. I recently had an opportunity to use it with my "Tough Love" relationship crisis spread, with outstanding results. This reading deals with a dysfunctional marriage that I first addressed nearly a year ago … Continue reading Tabula Mundi and the Relationship Crisis Spread
A “Melting Pot” Example Reading
There has been some interest in seeing how this spread works in action, so I decided to do an example reading with it. The question involves a planned relocation to the other side of the State to be near family members, and one of the options we're considering is moving into a town that has … Continue reading A “Melting Pot” Example Reading
A Summit Scenario
The summit meeting between the United States and the People's Republic of North Korea is set to kick off in less than an hour. Rather than listen to the talking heads jabber about it, I figured I would do a reading using my "Enemy at the Gate" vulnerability spread to see which side comes away … Continue reading A Summit Scenario
A “Twist of Fate” Example Reading
Here is an example of how to read the "Twist of Fate" spread I posted last night. I used my favorite "take-no-prisoners," socio-psychological mudslinging deck, Brian Williams' Post-Modern, or "PoMo," Tarot. Note that, although Williams considered his suit of "TVs" to represent Fire and "Guns" to reflect Air, I believe that TVs are better as … Continue reading A “Twist of Fate” Example Reading
Where Is Denise? – A Missing-Person Cold Case Reading
I fist tackled this nearly 40-year-old cold-case puzzle back when I created my "Train to Nowhere" missing-person spread. Since this blog didn't exists then, I most likely posted the results on the Aeclectic Tarot forum but, although that now-defunct site has been archived, finding anything on it is difficult. Unfortunately, I didn't save the original … Continue reading Where Is Denise? – A Missing-Person Cold Case Reading
