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

Mueller Madness
Washington DC is practically foaming at the mouth over the projected release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report within the next few weeks. The fact of the matter is that, unless criminal indictments arise from Mueller's document, it isn't likely to be made public. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/you-may-be-disappointed-mueller-report-n971601 I decided to do a Lenormand reading using my "Knight's … Continue reading Mueller Madness
Wall-eyed Whinging*
*from an Old English verb, "hwinsian," which means "to wail or moan discontentedly." As I continue to explore the "build it as you go" approach to positioning a topic card in a small Lenormand spread, I decided to tackle the subject of what is likely to happen with Donald Trump's border wall. I selected the … Continue reading Wall-eyed Whinging*
Puttin’ on the Rex
As an American with strong ancestral ties to Scotland and Ireland, I have more than a passing interest in the outcome of the Brexit controversy. I realize that the term is a conflation for "British Exit" from the European Union (EU), but I latched onto the subsumed fragment "Rex," which was a title once given … Continue reading Puttin’ on the Rex
2018 Midterm Election Revisited
Back in January I performed a Lenormand Grand Tableau to examine the circumstances of the upcoming Congressional election in the United States that is scheduled for November 6. That reading projected a thin margin of victory for the Democrats, but a number of things have changed since that time such that an update is warranted. … Continue reading 2018 Midterm Election Revisited
Tar and Feathers? – Republican Prospects in 2018
It is generally acknowledged on both sides of the political aisle that the Republican Party is facing major disaster potential in the 2018 mid-term elections. I decided to test my new Dilemma Assessment spread on this situation. I selected the Thoth Tower as the focus card ("The Dilemma") and used the RWS Centennial Edition for the reading. All … Continue reading Tar and Feathers? – Republican Prospects in 2018
Mueller vs. Manafort: End Game
UPDATE: Manafort was convicted on 8 counts but the jury couldn't reach agreement on 10 others so the judge declared a mistrial. This aligns with the impression from the reading that he would be partially exonerated, although the government can still choose to retry him so it could amount to no more than a reprieve. https://www.wmur.com/article/paul-manafort/22739733 With … Continue reading Mueller vs. Manafort: End Game
Dump That Trump? (Volume 2)
It's been a year-and-a-half since my last Grand Tableau reading on the fortunes of United States President Donald Trump, so I decided to perform an update on the subject. This time I did something a little different: there is a technique by which tarot cards are merged with Lenormand cards to provide a kind of "circumstantial background" for the Lenormand … Continue reading Dump That Trump? (Volume 2)
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 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
