As I envisioned, the pocket-size Centennial Edition of the RWS "in a tin" is the perfect companion for Pixie's Astounding Lenormand in two-deck readings. The latter was adapted by Edmund Zebrowski from Pamela Colman Smith's artwork, so there is an agreeable consistency in the images, and the size is roughly equivalent. I decided to do … Continue reading Paired-Deck Reading #2: An Old Acquaintance

Donald Trump’s 2020 “Electability Profile” Reading
Since he isn't likely to face a Republican challenger for the Party's nomination, I decided to focus this reading on Trump's chances to win re-election as shown by his current credibility with the same constituencies I used for the Democratic candidates. In broad terms, none of this looks very promising for Mr. Trump, although he … Continue reading Donald Trump’s 2020 “Electability Profile” Reading
What Happened To Samuel? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: Samuel Gray was found dead near railroad tracks in Dover, NH on Thursday morning, confirming the prediction of this reading. There were no further details in the updated news article other than that the death did not seem to be suspicious No autopsy results had been published as of October 3, 2019, although Gray … Continue reading What Happened To Samuel? – A Missing Person Reading
Kirsten Gillibrand’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Sometimes the tarot is so precise it's uncanny. Gillibrand has built her campaign around a number of women's rights issues, and has made a point of identifying herself as a mom. Wouldn't you know that the Empress - the card signifying the Archetypal Mother - appeared twice in the quintessence section, and the Moon - … Continue reading Kirsten Gillibrand’s 2020 “Candidate’s Profile” Reading
Game of Thrones: Who Makes It To The End?
Here is the reading I promised yesterday. The goal was to see which of the remaining Game of Thrones characters that amount to anything are still standing (and still human) at the end of the season. First I shuffled and dealt the ten tarot significator cards into a line (try shuffling ten cards sometime, it … Continue reading Game of Thrones: Who Makes It To The End?
What Happened to Linda? – A Missing Person Reading
UPDATE: Linda Minery, who had been missing from Hillsboro, NH since April, was just found dead inside a storage unit that she rented in that town, approximately ten weeks since her disappearance. https://www.concordmonitor.com/Hillsboro-NH-missing-woman-s-body-found-in-storage-unit-27394864 Although we don't like to see validation of our readings in this manner, this one was quite accurate, predicting ten "units of … Continue reading What Happened to Linda? – A Missing Person Reading
A Game of Thrones Tarot Cast
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
