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

Beto O’Rourke’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
After all of the "sad-sack" readings I've done so far for the 2020 Democratic candidates for President, this one is a little more upbeat. O'Rourke is another declared contender with more than an outside chance of getting the nod from Democratic Convention delegates. Although my observations may read as acknowledged facts, they are only conjecture … Continue reading Beto O’Rourke’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
The Visual Quintessence: Six Ways to Summarize
I titled this post "The Visual Quintessence" because I'm going to show the six ways the quintessence card can be calculated in a series of photographs. You will frequently see me mention and apply the "quintessence" (or "quint") card in my tarot readings. The quintessence is a way to summarize all (or, as we shall … Continue reading The Visual Quintessence: Six Ways to Summarize
Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
And now the one everybody has been anticipating . . . . For a candidate who has created so much buzz, this is a decidedly dour sequence until we get to the quintessence cards. The Emperor, indicative of overweening ambition, appears not once but twice, while both the Wheel of Fortune and the Chariot show … Continue reading Pete Buttigieg’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Cory Booker’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Another straightforward read here. Cory Booker has also declared his candidacy for the office of President. No Emperor in this spread; maybe Booker and Bernie Sanders are both perceived as more egalitarian. (Note that I said "perceived as;" this is still American politicians we're talking about.) I've also noticed that the Hierophant has appeared in … Continue reading Cory Booker’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
These readings are starting to get more streamlined as I work my way down the list. Elizabeth Warren has already declared her candidacy for President. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In the "Social Quotient" line, the eternally skeptical American male sees her as an idle slacker who won't deliver what she … Continue reading Elizabeth Warren’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
The “Mongrel’s Mash-up” Mixed-Media Decision Making Spread
Here's a more radical mingling of tarot and Lenormand decks in a single reading. Rather then mixing the two decks together or creating a separate chain or division in the spread for each type of deck, I scatter the cards between two different lines by rolling a single die to come up with an odd … Continue reading The “Mongrel’s Mash-up” Mixed-Media Decision Making Spread
Kamala Harris’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Continuing the series, here is the "Candidate's Profile" for Kamala Harris. As always, read my observations as possibilities, not definite conclusions. The cards tell the tale in their own way and I do my best to translate. All images copyright U.S. Games Systems, Inc, Stamford, CT In the "Social Quotient" line, the "all-American male" could … Continue reading Kamala Harris’ 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
The “11th Hour Epiphany” Crisis Management Spread
I liked the layout of my "Roadkill Penguin" spread so much that I decided to do another spread based on it, this time to be read in a linear left-to-right fashion with "sidebar" cards adding more detail. The "crisis" of the title reflects the almost inevitable fact that every human endeavor runs into complications at … Continue reading The “11th Hour Epiphany” Crisis Management Spread
Joe Biden’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
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
