I have had many questions about the tarot decks used here and how answers are divined. I thought a few posts with the decks used and some of how the Tarot is interpreted here. Also the websites Biddy Tarot, learn-tarot-cards.com the psychic library, angel paths, tarot forums, and learntarot.com are consulted on a regular basis. Since we are all extremely bored I thought I'd show you all the lovely decks I own and see if it tempted anyone to request a reading.

Rules for Tarot Readings

Any ask that doesn’t follow ALL the rules will be deleted. It’s frankly exhausting having to repeat myself so many times in a day, and I don’t want tarot to become something of a chore especially when I’m doing this for free and as a genuine hobby.

General Rules:

Consider readings always open, but it may take time to get back to them. If you send it anonymous, I can't contact you when I post it. If you send it with your contact info, it will be removed and I will send something when it goes up. It will also be easier to contact you in case of delay. I have never had any issues with anonymous submits. All were fully redacted.

Please only send ONE question in each ask.

Don’t send another ask with a different question until your first one has been answered.

Leave initials of yourself and everyone involved. Emoticons do not really help me much.

Try to keep your ask as precise as possible. The more information you supply, the better your reading will be. Zodiac signs may or may not be helpful depending on which reading/deck is used.

I can’t give you astrological signs (ie. What is the sign of my next boyfriend) or expected dates (ie. What month will I meet him?).

For Relationship/Love Readings:

You must specify your relationship status (dating/single/married& dating*/in a relationship and looking to expand with permission from my partner*/ etc.) [*At the Tarot reader's discretion of course.]

It is helpful if you can mention the relationship between you and the person you’re asking about (just friends for now/ex/friends with benefits etc.)

Do not ask me about the same relationship/person too many times. Repeative questions tend to upset and aggravate who or whatever you believe answers you within the cards. The answers start focusing on the querrent, instead of the question.

I will not do:

Medical/Health/Legal Readings

I am far from a professional anything. Never disregard any professional advice because of any form of divination.

Third-Party Readings

I am uncomfortable reading into anyone that didn’t give me explicit permission to be read. So if you want me to read about how your crush feels about you, that’s fine, but be aware that your thoughts are directly tied into ⅔³this. But if you ask me to read about whether your crush and his girlfriend will break up soon, I will have to refuse.

Sidenote: Just don’t go for anyone who’s taken lol. It’s not worth getting involved in a three-party situation, especially if you’re the third party. If you are the married person looking for love, if you are in an open relationship, something like that, I will use my discretion.

Spirituality Readings

I can not answer to your religious beliefs. How I and Gianni work the tools are thus: We allow god/ the universe/whatever to flow through us, the deck, the room, the table/altar, and some times crystals while concentrating on a question to be answer. The answer will come or not as time passes. If it is not the one that is sought, you weren't asking the right questions.

If you want to ask whether you should do this thing by this weekend, chances are, I won’t be able to get to your reading in time. Murphy's Law.This rule also applies to specifics and repeats. Specifics(Will I run into Mr X on Day 3 On 4th St at 12:05 pm) will not get answered seriously and repeats are the same.

Please do not rush me. I try my best to reply as quickly as possible but once I stop, that's it for the day or two.

Occasionally, I will refuse readings that make me uncomfortable, because I realised that if I force myself to do a reading which I’m not comfortable with, it will likely produce inaccurate results anyways.

Please leave a feedback on your reading, it acts as a great tool for me to improve and get better. Have a wonderful day

You can do better.

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

Divine inspiration waxes and wanes. The undertaking lacks that which it defines it. Seas begin to agitate with heat and emotion. The walls began to show their age. Are they wrinkles or cracks we see? It doesn't matter. They have both the same cause and the same effect. Ticking clocks are out of place in this modern age, but count the time just the same. The time of clocks is passing. What will replace the sound?

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

This read is about Benedict and Sophie.

1st card- current situation- Justice Reversed

2nd Card-What change is coming? 3 of cups Reversed

3rd card- What is the catalyst? Queen of Pentacles

4th card- When is it coming- Judgement

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

Find your breath in stillness. The act of breathing makes you synchronous with the universe. Feel the heartbeat of the stars in your veins. Inhale the cosmic dust. Before we begin to look without, we must look within and find the stardust of creation.

Balance within spreads to the world around. Once the ship has leveled off and the mainsails are unfurled, it is easier to find direction. Stem the bleeding now, triage later. Tend to your own injuries first. Then the women and children. You are in no shape to save anyone if you can't even save yourself.

Once the heroics are over, then comes the screaming. Not everyone can be saved. Not everyone should be saved. The tally may not be to everyone's liking. Decisions must be made with the head and not the heart.

When the time comes for the weighing of souls, where will yours stand? Will your sins send you to perdition? Will regrets bind your soul to the earthly plain?

The time for reflection has passed. The time for action is now. Soon it will be the time of regrets, if nothing changes.

The universe tends to entropy. We control the change. Be the change. Make the change. We come the closest to being creators of the universe when we assert our will to make change.

If salvation exists, it only does so for those with clean consciences. Those who have no remose. Those who can look at their lives and say, I have lived well. I will be better. I am a creator. Are you?

Double Edged Sword Tarot Spread

by www.jasminelousie.bis

Root of the Issue

Page of Cups- Inspiration and Love, imagination

If I go This way(Left Side)(Stay)

Pros

King of Coins Reversed- Ignorance(Opposite of Knowledge as shown in the card)

Cons

Queen of Wands-Manipulative, deceitful, unfaithful, spiteful, angry

Potential Outcomes

The Hanged Man- Sacrifice, Transitions, Transformation, deliverance, release

If I go This way(Right Side)(Leave)

Pros

Justice Reversed- I don't think I had ever had this card in this deck before. It is an interesting representation. On Lady Justice's skirt there is a phrase written. It is backwards. It says "I am called". I have an interesting interpretation to go with it. Seperations not yet ratified or legal. Delay or imbalance.

Cons

The Chariot Reversed

Overwhelming ambition and expectations that are set too high. It also contains a backwards phrase. It is the continuation of the Justice card, "and do come."

Potential Outcomes

Temperance-Diplomacy, Successful negotiations

TL:DR; If he stays, manipulation and deceit. If he leaves,"I am called and do come."

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

I bought this extensive Tarot deck the other day. I was looking for one that had or used the Labyrinth or Maze card. This one didn't have that but it has just about everything else. It is a whopper at 41 Major Arcana plus the traditional 56 minor Arcana. 97 cards. It's a bitch to shuffle.

Included are:

The Magican

The Empress

The Emporor/ The Pope

Temperance

The Lovers

Strength

Justice

Fortune

The Chariot

The Hanged Man

The House of the Devil

The Madman

The Hermit

Death

The Devil

The World

The Trumpets

The Star

The Moon

The Sun

The Air

The Water

The Fire

The Earth

The 12 Zodiac Cards

As I said, no Labyrinth/Maze card. Also missing is The High Priestess. They have also replaced the Fool with the madman. Being "mad" is not the same as being foolish. I was taught about the card represents the wise fool. In reverse, the person who is too foolish to know when to shut up. (Maybe I over-identify with that card a bit?🤔🤣)

It's been interesting to work through.

Why the Hell is this Happening

The Crappy Situation

2)The Moon

Be wary of things that seem false or too good to be true.

What you can't do about it?

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

The card of fairness and law is interesting here. Perhaps a suggestion that some legal help is necessary.

Card 5 Should I collaborate with others?

7) 5 of Clubs

Guard against conflict, disagreements, and tension.

Description of Benedict is self explanatory. Sophie is creating conflict in his life. The woman he needs has something that she needs to do, a responsibility, that is preventing her from going to him. Benedict and Sophie relationship is primarily about control of money. The woman Ben needs will challenge him in a different way, a way he needs. If the two woman in this spread interact it might be to the spirtual enlightment of both parties. Benedict wants to be an astute man full of honesty and truth. He finds himself lacking stability, financial dependence and acting superficially. Sophie is blocked creatively, lost, focused on the negative and despondent. She will try to force creativity and if possible attempt to get pregnant. She does this because she feels overwhelmed by the choices presented to her. She is searching for purpose. She is prone to wishful thinking and daydreams. The other Querant in this reading has become overwhelmed and despondent about their current situation. They lack self-confidence and motivation and have just about admitted defeat. As a result they have fallen into a pattern of "he loves me, he loves me not" becoming more depressed with each round. Their current situation is financial unstable and their love of the luxurious is not contributing to their financial well being.

Overall, this reading does not further any agenda but verifies some things that were known.

Gianni, babe, you sent this in, but Tumblr keeps eating it. Love the new deck! Glad to see you're keeping yourself well!

[thecodexcumberbatchian]

A hard wind is blowing. It is a different time now. We shutter our windows at the cold. But subway prophets have been wrong before and as the politicians gather round to burn the martyrs and the witches of the age, baby we need to take a different door. Fly down into the same old patterns or move on into the blue. But make up your mind fast. What has been written will soon come to pass. If you don't make your move, your time will be past. The time is coming to make up your mind, which side are your on, the good and the right, or the weak who fight to maintain the balance of power. Singing about ringing a bell does not ring it. Until the chimes toll out, justice is not done. Truth and justice are hard fought battles. The soldiers are weary and the world can always use more. What are you fighting for?
