What to do with the Joker ?

What to do with the Joker ?


Today I added a Joker to my cartomancy deck.
I decided to draw an Angel to represent the spiritual part of the Joker, the Holy Fool who travels the lifepath.

My way of cartomancy with  the Blue (Neutral) Joker:
Whenever I would use the whole deck in a 8×7 spread, I first shuffle the Joker in the deck to become the significator in the spread.
After laying down the cards in the spread, there wil be one card left as a special comment on the spread.
To add another layer of interpretation I might choose to draw one of my  malachim cards to receive a message from the Angel of the moment.

Cartomancy For the Witch of Poor Memory – The Courts

Cartomancy For the Witch of Poor Memory – The Courts


Today I finished the Courts!

The firstmost rule is easily had:
Red cards are good and black cards are bad.  

The secondmost rule shall bring greater fruits:
It deals with the meanings of each of the suits.
The Hearts count as love, family, and friends.
Diamonds are money, wealth, means, and ends.
Clubs shall mean work, callings, and plans,
And Spades are the troubles that plague every man.  

The thirdmost rule toward number inclines;
Just note the card’s pip and read here their signs:  

While Kings are the symbols Of power and men.
Queens are the emblems Of women and truth,
A Knave is a message, A girl, or a youth.

Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not

Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not


First we had the pestilence of Corona, now we have War…

I remember visions from Revelation 6:

1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals.
Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!”

I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!”
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds[of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!”
I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.
They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
