Update: It appears the missing boy in this case found his way safely to Florida. There are no details about how that happened, or how long he may have stayed in New York City. http://www.wmur.com/article/missing-sunapee-teen-found-safe-in-florida/19459142 First a note on the method. The main problem I'm finding with this approach is that I'm using missing-person notices … Continue reading Where Is Isaiah? – A Missing Person Spread

The Ideal Study Group
Esoteric study groups of the face-to-face kind are mercurial beasts. Interest tends to wax and wane, and attendance is anything but consistent as members occasionally choose to deal with more mundane matters on meeting day. When I lived in the Hartford, CT area in the '70s, there were numerous opportunities to meet regularly with kindred … Continue reading The Ideal Study Group
The “On the Fly” Random Contact Spread
Those who read frequently for others often encounter sitters who are seeking romance, and those readers probably don't have enough fingers and toes (or hairs on their head) to count how many times they've been asked whether an upcoming event (trip, party, night on the town or other gathering of peers) will produce just such … Continue reading The “On the Fly” Random Contact Spread
The “Take No Prisoners” Transition Spread
Any major transition, whether corporate, political or sociological, can produce significant upheaval in the "receiving" organization. This is especially unnerving for those on the lower rungs of the pecking order, whose best interests aren't always served by the leadership in these situations. This spread is designed for subordinate members of any group to explore important … Continue reading The “Take No Prisoners” Transition Spread
2018 Midterm Election Forecast
Although the outcome of the US Congressional midterm elections won't be known until November of this year, the rhetoric is already heating up to an almost unbearable pitch. I decided to do a GT to see which of the two major US political parties will have the best chance to prevail. I used the Burning … Continue reading 2018 Midterm Election Forecast
Where Is “A . . ?” A Missing Person Spread
UPDATE: The remains of Austin Colson were found in a wooded area of northern Vermont not long ago, and positive identification has now been made. He died of a gunshot wound to the head. http://www.wmur.com/article/human-remains-found-in-norwich-identified-as-austin-colson/21084837 My instincts were apparently sound in this case, although my reading wasn't too accurate as a whole. There may very … Continue reading Where Is “A . . ?” A Missing Person Spread
American Football Playoff Forecast
I'm not a fan of American football by any stretch of the imagination (I'd rather actively engage in solo sports than passively observe team sports), nor am I a fan of watching television outside of the rare HBO series that captures my interest. But I am a fan of using tarot to predict the results … Continue reading American Football Playoff Forecast
Cheap Shots #27: “You Say Toe-mah-toe . . .”
Sometimes I think American hubris knows no bounds (as an American, I can say that). Consider the matter of pronunciation. The British know that Americans don't talk right, and so do the French. Like many Americans, I had four years of high-school French, and I still remember the basics of proper pronunciation. For example, I … Continue reading Cheap Shots #27: “You Say Toe-mah-toe . . .”
Cheap Shots #25: “If Wishes Were Horses . . .”
A philosophy professor of mine who was also a Protestant minister (and, for what it's worth, a heart transplant survivor – the very definition of “ on a wing and a prayer”), once told our class that, according to Pascal's Wager, “It's safer to believe in a God even if there isn't one, than to … Continue reading Cheap Shots #25: “If Wishes Were Horses . . .”
A 1980 Cold-Case Reading
I recently came across a news report about an investigation by local police and FBI agents into a 37-year-old New Hampshire (USA) missing-person "cold case." http://www.wmur.com/article/officials-search-for-evidence-related-to-1980-missing-person-case/13521816 I have a spread designed for missing-person divination and decided to apply it to this case. Here is the layout: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz9ay5wf44526er/Train%20to%20Nowhere%20Spread.pdf?dl=0 The spread has thirteen positions modeled after a … Continue reading A 1980 Cold-Case Reading
