An average result, but still lucky. Meanwhile the Queen of Pentacles from the Golden Tarot has her mind on her money and her money on her mind.

It took a while to solve this one - my third guess was just flailing around. Meanwhile here's the Devil from the Golden Tarot, not looking as fearsome as he usually does. I've also seen this card two days in a row.

Had to use a throwaway word to eliminate letters. Today's card from the Golden Tarot is the 10 of Swords, one of the worst cards in the deck and I've gotten it two days in a row. Uh-oh.

My Xmas post, a day late since I was out of town. The major arcana card that I pull the most is the Temperance card, and here is the version from the Golden Tarot. A belated Merry Xmas everyone!

Moving on to a new Tarot deck today - the Golden Tarot by Liz Dean. I liked its medieval style, but didn't realize that the pip cards didn't have pictures, only the bare representation of the suit item. Today I drew the Seven of Wands, the Lord of Valor.

Today's card is the Prince of Cups from the First Aid for Broken Hearts Tarot. The Prince is a woman riding a zebra, something pretty common to this deck, which is true to its own aesthetic if not the meaning of the card.

RIP Chris Rea, one of my favorite artists. Here is a live version of Miss Your Kiss, a song I like very much, which showcases his guitar playing.

Another lucky result. Today's card is the Ace of Swords from the First Aid for Broken Hearts Tarot. It's another card that I wouldn't be able to identify without reading the words at the bottom.

Those who have solved the puzzle can probably guess what my third word was, and I feel bad about that. Anyway, here's the Star card from the First Aid Tarot. The artist seems to be very fond of people in boats.

I really struggled with this one. My third word was just flailing, it didn't fit several of the clues. The 9 of Pentacles from the First Aid deck is an interesting interpretation of the card.

When I got *one* letter from my two opening words I thought I was in trouble, but I got lucky. From the First Aid Tarot I pulled the Seven of Wands. A charming image, but not what this card is about at all.

For a minute I thought the solution was going to be THAT WORD. Whew! From the First Aid for Broken Hearts Tarot we have the Hermit card. I tried to guess what card this was without looking at the text on the bottom and failed utterly.

A natural two-fer! My opening word was so close it was a pretty easy putt. Meanwhile, here's the Eight of Swords from the First Aid for Broken Hearts tarot. An interesting image, but you'll notice there are no swords shown and more than eight butterflies.

Starting with a new tarot deck today, First Aid for Broken Hearts by Nonara. The deck has a somber, Victorian feel to it, but every card has a cheery one-line summation at the bottom, no matter how dire the card is. This card is the Two of Pentacles.

Today I take my leave of the Revelations Tarot. I've had an incredible run of court cards with this deck - 17 out of 28. I have no idea why. Here is the Knight of Cups - all cups courts feature mer-people.

Woke up this morning with a head full of cement, but apparently the Wordle part of my brain still works. From the Revelations Tarot, the Strength card, a design I like very much.
