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
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
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
2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
I've just created a spread to examine the credibility (aka "cred") of the bumper crop of 2020 US presidential candidates among various demographics of the electorate and also within a number of other crucial "opinion-mills." The bottom line is an assessment of a candidate's overall electability. I tried to keep like parameters together under a … Continue reading 2020 Presidential Candidate’s Tarot Profile Spread
Rethinking the “Knights’ Crossing” Spread
UPDATE: This turned out to be a fascinating reading. The facility where the exams are performed has a new scanning machine, and the technician was both inexperienced and under-trained in its use. She botched the first set of scans even after making two attempts, and I had to sit for a third one when that … Continue reading Rethinking the “Knights’ Crossing” Spread
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
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 “Counting Round” Example Reading
Rather than doing a new reading to test my ideas on card-counting with my "Knights' Crossing" spread, I decided to apply them to the "Mueller's Madness" reading I did yesterday. All images copyright Lynne Boyle The five-card line derived from the 3x3 square was Book-Man-Mice-Clover-Fish, which I would read as "The individual who is the … Continue reading A “Counting Round” Example Reading
