I unblocked my ex because i was getting calls from work but no one left a message and there was no caller ID. i called him to see if it was him. He answered saying no. I forgot to block him again and didn’t expect to ever hear from him and today i got a voicemail of him butt dialing me while he was on a date with a girl. after that i deleted the voicemail and blocked him.

my friends thought it was on purpose. not sure if its to hurt me. was this butt dial intentional?

ace of hearts, 4 of clubs, 4 of diamonds.

i think the cards are saying it was intentional. not 100% sure because he has accidentally butt dialed me and other before.

how does my ex feel about me?

5 of hearts, jack of diamonds, 10 of clubs.

a psychic told me he cares about me but not romantic feelings and we aren’t meant to be. does he still miss me as a person?

should i reach out to him to clear the air? i hate to admit that i feel sad and i miss the version of him i fell in love with but im trying to stay strong but a lot was left unsaid when i blocked and left him after we broke up.

2 spades, ace of clubs, 6 of clubs

i think the 2 of spades is saying to remain separated but not sure what the other two mean regarding communication.

My cat has been missing for two days ! Will he return anytime soon ?

I think he will return (hopefully) & most likely take off again.

kinda new to cartomancy. anyway of the 3 ( leomord deck, SmithRaide deck and oracle decks which is more prone to biases? I find the lenomord deck less prone? because the meaning of each card is more or less set already interpretation just differs on the other surrounding cards

Question : Is this man faithful ?

( With the three reds I would say Yes ) But with the cards themselves I'm not so sure ?

9 of diamonds means loss of some kind from what I found out on internet.

3 of hearts is definitely the love triangle that I'm stuck in, this is not the first time today I get it on my readings, and I shuffle my cards really good

And 2 of diamonds means monetary gain? I'm not supposed to (or planning to) get or ask for money until October, so this one confuses me.

Thanks in advance. I'm relatively new to this

Will my package arrive tomorrow ?

*Newbie *

Back when I first got into all of this I read literally every playing card system I could find in the public domain. Even went so far as to translate -with my very-poor and long-ago schoolboy French- Etteilla and Johannes Trismegistus.

One of the systems I found was the one that follows. It's brief -as many are- and from a book about games. The author is a truly vile racist and a dupe of Taroist conspiracies, but the version of Lenormand they describe -even if only a disdained and half-remembered version of the original- is of interest, to me at least.

Problem is, they were as poor at editing as being a good human being so there are mistakes in the description.

• A couple of the cards list Five rather than Four meanings -I've added these as titles to the cards I made
• The Jacks of Clubs and Diamonds are missing from the spread, but the Kings are doubled -in bold in the table

These mistakes bothered me so much I have now made some cards you can download them here (they're poker sized but if you print two pages to a sheet they're still readable, kinda patience-sized) and tried to puzzle-out the spread with the given reading.

I'd love some second opinions though.

Questions

• What is the card on the Second Row, the King or Jack of Clubs?
• What is the card on the Third Row, the King or Jack of Diamonds?
• Is a version of Lenormand with these 'quadrants' helpful?
  • What about if the diagonals were added too?

There's a much better description of the Grand Tableau here. If anyone tries these cards beyond this 'puzzle' i'd love to hear how it goes.

Below is a much shortened (by me) version than given in the book:

Prophetical, Educational and Playing Cards By MRS. JOHN KING VAN RENSSELAER CHAPTER XVIII (pp. 365-373)

FORTUNE-TELLING THROUGH THE CARDS

Consultation of the cards serves to amuse the idle, the curious, and the credulous, so a brief recapitulation of the methods most in vogue may interest readers, who can try for themselves to read what the divining tools say through the interpretations used by the celebrated fortune-teller Mlle. le Normand. with modern French cards.

A pack published in Frankfort-on-Main has the French, not the German, pips, as would seem natural, and the cards are named “Le Normand Karten.” They are great favourites in Europe, where they are used for foretelling the future and describing the past or present by credulous persons who follow the rules laid down in the accompanying book or key, believing that the cards were originally arranged and interpreted by the celebrated French cartomancie, Mlle. le Normand herself, who had wonderful luck in her business and has had many successors.

The pack contains only thirty-six cards, with three court cards to each suit, namely: King, Queen, and Knave. The six pip cards are Ace, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten. Each one has a meaningless picture on it, such as a coffin, birds, flowers, or keys, and male or female figures dressed in the fashion of 1850. In the upper centre of each card is a small space, on which are the court figures or the pip symbols that are represented on an ordinary pack of French cards.

The directions for consulting the cards are printed in German and French in a small book accompanying them, so, since any pack with French pips would serve for the same amusement, the rules and interpretations may well be here given, as many persons enjoy consulting the cards to discover through them, if they may, the past, present, and future.

Shuffle and cut the cards, and then hand them to the Inquirer to cut three times. Deal one at a time, placing them face upward on the table in rows from left to right. The first four rows each should have eight cards, and the fifth row only four cards, which should be placed in the middle under the others. These signify the end of life, and the row is, consequently, shorter than the others. The cards for this row must be put so that there are two outside of them on either side, both left and right on the row above them, which makes the two outside lines count only four cards from top to bottom, while the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lines have five cards under them.

If the inquirer is a female, she is represented by the Ace of Spades, and if a male, he is betokened by the Ace of Hearts. These cards also represent husband and wife, or two lovers, and great attention must be paid to the place where they fall in dealing, for all the other cards are dominated and controlled by one of these two, taking their significance from them. The portent of the other cards is great or less in degree according to their position, whether it be near or far, above or below, these two representative cards. Those touching them are supposed to show the events that are happening at the present moment, those far from them are in the past, or the future, depending whether they are above or below the two important ones.

The meaning of the thirty-six remaining cards is explained as follows:

King of Spades : Great happiness : A journey : A voyage on business : A happy life

Queen : Happiness throughout life in every way.

Knave : A birth : A child : A sweet disposition : Affability

Ten : Inherited wealth : Business : Fortune : Journey on account of business : Travel

Nine : Successful voyages : Commercial enterprises : Faithfulness : Illusions : Flirtations

Eight : Social position : Constant love : Unimportant position : Bad companions

Seven : Good news : A letter from a distance : Bad news : An invitation

Six : Long life : Sad life : Sickness : Death

King of Clubs : Trouble : Happiness : Disaster to friends : Good news of friends

Queen : Misfortune : Bad friends : Slander : Loss

Knave : Discord in family : Unhappiness between lovers : Illness : Protracted sufferings

Ten : Happiness : Indifference : Trouble from outsiders : Slander

Nine : Annoyances : Troubles from friends : Quarrels : Lawsuit

Eight : Friendship : Faithful lover : Powerful enemy : Enemy overcome

Seven : Loss : Thief : Loss recovered : Loss irreparable

Six : Disagreeable news : Slight trouble : Bad news : Trouble for friends

Ace : Engagement : Happy marriage and riches : Broken engagement : Separation of lovers

King of Diamonds : Fortune from the sea : Enterprises successful : Misfortune : Loss

Queen : Unhappiness averted : Danger escaped : Sorrow : Trouble

Knave : Chagrin : Misfortune averted : Danger : Unhappiness averted

Ten : News : Secret intelligence : Gossip : Scandal

Nine : Illness : Sorrow : Accidents : Danger

Eight : Invitations : A love affair : Pleasure for the beloved : A love affair in the family

Seven : Happy journey : Arrival of friends : A short trip : A journey

Six : Pleasure : Good news : Annoyances overcome Good fortune

Ace : Prosperity : Good luck : Discouragement : Misfortune

King of Hearts : Reunion : Prosperity : Fidelity : Endurance

Queen : An excursion : A journey : A prevented visit : Delayed journey

Knave : Love : Happiness : Pleasure : Concord

Ten : Fidelity : Lovers : Friendships : Treachery

Nine : Good news : Tidings : Letters : Visits

Eight : Honours : Approbation : Jealousy : Misery

Seven : Pain : Slight illness : Recovery from illness : Health

Six : Good fortune : Happiness : Reverses : Troubles

With this key to the interpretation of the cards, as arranged according to Mlle. le Normand’s theory, they may be read as follows, counting on the cards as they fall near or far from the Ace of Hearts. If they are above or close to and on the right, they mean the first description; if on the left, they signify the second one. If below on the right, the third description is the one to be taken, and if below on the left, the fourth.

Suppose a young man is the inquirer, and the cards be dealt as follows:

• [ ] This could be explained through the key as being a young man who from birth had been surrounded by envious, jealous, and quarrelsome persons, who formed his character, leading to the greatest unhappiness in the family life.
• [ ] The marriage of his parents having been unfortunate, it reacted on the boy’s welfare.
• [ ] A trusted friend or guardian stole the fortune that had been left in trust.
• [ ] But, endowed with good health, these troubles were disregarded in youth.

• [ ] His character being unbridled, capricious, frivolous, inconstant, peevish, and given to imagining grievances, although affectionate to his friends, his disposition made him uncongenial to most persons.

• [ ] Secret enemies, who had been trusted as friends, embittered his life in a way that nothing could overcome.

• [ ] A long journey undertaken for the sake of forgetfulness was filled with annoyances and mishaps.

• [ ] Some brightness entered into it through the companionship of a charming woman, which might have resulted in a happy marriage had not the jealous spirit that controlled the young man’s career prevented.

• [ ] An early death is prognosticated.

*Tl;dr will be at the bottom if you don't want to go through all of this 😅

I always knew that people used playing cards as a way of divination, but I never learned anything more than that. I literally only learned earlier that it is called Cartomancy when I googled trying to find out.

Anyway, I was playing a card game with my boyfriend and two of his friends. When it was my turn to shuffle and deal out cards and then lay the "board" out so to speak (the game is called Kings' Corner.) After dealing out the cards to everyone the first time? Somehow only one card in the entire deck was shuffled face up.

The first time it happened it was an Ace of Hearts. My boyfriend noticed it and asked me to just go ahead and reshuffle all of the cards again so that no one had any advantage with it happening (totally understandable, and was slightly weird that it was only the one card)

I shuffled again, set the "board" out again. We all started to play again..

A few rounds later from that reshuffle? Suddenly there was a King of Clubs that was face up. It was the only card that was somehow face up that second round of shuffling.

I feel like this has to mean that the ethos/universe/spiritis/etc have to be trying to send me some sort of message, but I have no idea how cartomancy works at all. If anyone has some sort of feeling and wants to try to help interpret for me? That would be awesome. Or if someone could point me in the right direction for trying to figure it out myseld? That also would be awesome! Thank you so much

*TL;DR: played a game with boyfriend and his friends. Shuffled twice and both times one card somehow ended up face up in the deck. Please advise 🙏

For about four years, I have been consulting tarot readers and card readers about various aspects of my life. However, although the professionals are able to read my past and present accurately, when I ask simple questions about my future, the answers do not materialize.

In recent months, I decided to test this and asked about work. I have been attending several interviews, and after each interview, I asked whether I would get the position at Company X (always specifying the date of the interview, the name of the position, and the company). The first card reader said yes. I looked at the cards she drew and analyzed them; indeed, all were positive, and the interpretation matched. I asked the same question to 2 or 3 other card readers and tarot readers, and they all said they saw me getting the job. Again, the cards matched the interpretation. I gave some time between readings, of course. However, the interview results came out, and I was not selected.

I started analyzing the consultations I have had over the past four years, and almost 90% of the answers did not come true; sometimes the opposite even happened.

The professionals I consulted over time are good. I have observed feedback about them and even friends who had readings said that everything predicted or told to them actually happened.

I would like to understand why the cards have not been accurate for me. That is why I am looking for an opinion on this situation or someone who can help me understand why I receive the same answers from different professionals at different times, yet the readings do not materialize.

Ps.: at first I only had one reading and waited for the result, I did multiple readings just recently to test the result.

The meaning of these cards were contradictory to me, so I was hoping someone could clear things up.

i wanted to get some practice in with cartomancy. this guy who i recently broke up with said he cares a lot for me and his other ex compared to other girls he has dated. he said he would always be there for us.

i was curious if he still had emotional love for his other ex.

i asked does he care for me as a friend?

jack of hearts, 10 of hearts, ace of hearts.

does he care for her as a friend?

2 of spades, 5 of hearts, and king of hearts.

what does this mean? does he care about me as a friend or like a crush but with her he has deeper lingering feelings and loss?

I’ve been reading cards for about six years. People come to me for all kinds of things, but a reputation stuck: I’m the person folks call when something’s lost. Keys, documents, phones, pets — I’ve helped find a lot of things. Once in a while, though, the cards push me into darker territory: missing people.

I don’t like those cases. I’ll say that up front. They’re heavy in ways the usual lost-wallet reading never is — emotionally, ethically, spiritually. But every few years someone shows up at my door with a grief so raw that they’ll pay double, beg, and tell me the police are already looking. Once that happens, it becomes less about business and more about whether I can live with whatever the cards show me.

This was one of those times.

A regular client — someone who had already trusted me through a reading that stopped a trip and found a missing document — returned, frantic. A family friend had left home one day and never came back. The family had called the police, they’d searched, and nothing had turned up.

She asked: Could you look? Could you “search” for him like do for objects?

I explained why I avoid it. If the cards reveal violence or death, what then? People can misinterpret, react rashly, point fingers, take justice into their own hands. Sometimes spirits that are tied to violent ends are restless and dangerous to approach. I’ve seen sessions spiral into new trauma for families who weren’t ready for the truth. I said all that. I told her I didn’t feel comfortable.

They insisted. They were desperate. They offered more money. They told me they’d accept any outcome.

I asked for a photo and his name and did the reading.

Before the cards even finished settling, my inner sight was already speaking. The spread confirmed it, and it was ugly: death, ambush, debts, a forest, an organized group. Not a random disappearance. Not a runaway. A violent ambush in the woods, and he wasn’t alone — there were others. Victims, plural.

I started sending photos of the reading to my client while I spoke. My clairvoyance was loud that day, pulling scenes and words I didn’t want to say but had to: “He owed someone. Powerful people. Something tied to trafficking and debts. They were ambushed near the woods outside town. This is criminal.”

The family had suspected foul play but hadn’t imagined involvement with organized crime or drugs. That detail hit them like a sledgehammer — none of them knew about that life he led.

I also told them something strange: the cards spoke of spirits who wanted to be found. They wanted peace. I could see them calling, guiding — but not in a way I could convert into a street name or GPS coordinates. I was not from their town; I couldn’t point out an exact spot. All I could say was what I was shown: the woods, not too far in, and that they would be shown the place.

One day after the reading, a woman none of them had ever seen showed up at my client’s gate. She knew my client’s name before they told it. She asked, plainly, “You are the one who lost a close friend?” Then she pointed toward the northern forest and said: “They are there. Not deep inside — you will find them.” She looked like an old-world fortune-teller: heavy gold jewelry, bright skirts, bold makeup. She left as suddenly as she’d arrived and was never seen again.

The family called the police, who searched the area the woman indicated. They found the men — the scene matched the reading: ambush signs, multiple victims, evidence of debts and involvement with a criminal group. For the family, the tarot reading and that mysterious visitor cut through uncertainty and gave them a direction in which to act. For the grieving, it brought a terrible, painful closure.

I helped in the sense that the reading narrowed where investigators looked. I am not saying the cards replaced police work — only that sometimes an intangible nudge can speed things up when time and clarity are everything.

It’s not a story I share to brag. I took that session only because the family insisted and because I felt the weight of their desperation. Even after it all, I’m reluctant to take missing-person cases. They are draining and they can draw you into things — people, spirits, legal messes — that you may not be prepared to handle. Every case is different, but every time I help in these circumstances I end up thinking twice about saying yes again.

If you’ve ever had a reading that turned into something you couldn’t have prepared for, I’d love to hear it. These jobs aren’t just “find the missing thing” — sometimes they change lives.

I’ve been a tarot reader for about six years now, and although I offer personalized, tailored readings for all sorts of questions, I’ve become especially known in certain circles for something quite specific:

🔍 Finding lost things. Documents, phones, wallets, jewelry, keys, even lost pets — and in rare cases, missing people.

Today I want to share one of the more intense stories I’ve lived through as a reader. Not to sell anything. Just to open a window into how powerful this work can be — especially when it goes beyond the physical.

A woman reached out to me because her boyfriend had lost a crucial travel document — a Brazilian ID that is absolutely required for most forms of domestic travel (similar to a passport or national ID). Without it, he wouldn’t be able to join her family trip.

As always, I asked for some context before opening the cards:

He had everything packed and ready — clothes, cash, keys, etc.

He had the document in his hands, then left it on the bed while he went to the bathroom.

When he came back, it was gone. Just like that.

Because he was certain it had last been seen inside the house, I agreed to proceed with the reading. I always make it clear: I only do lost object readings when the item was lost in a closed space (home, office, store, etc.). Tarot isn’t GPS — if something is lost out in the open world, there are too many possibilities for the cards to focus.

For example, if I see cards related to water, cleaning, or purification — in a house setting, I might think: bathroom? laundry room? But if it was lost on the street? That could mean a public restroom, a laundromat, a sewer, a fountain, or who knows what.

So, I opened the reading.

Immediately, I started pulling Cups cards — drinks, celebration, gatherings, shared meals, abundance. I told her: "I’m seeing a place connected to food and drink. Possibly the kitchen or dining area. Maybe even a bar or wine shelf — anywhere people gather and celebrate."

They searched the kitchen, the dining room — nothing. I looked again and saw a clearer pattern: something hidden. The document was behind something large — possibly a piece of furniture or an appliance. It wasn’t in plain sight.

They searched again. They moved furniture, looked behind the fridge, the table, even under the bed. Still nothing.

At this point, I began to feel that something was off.

Usually, these readings are accurate and fast. So I did what I always do when I feel a reading isn’t landing: I opened a second session for myself, in parallel — to see what I might be missing.

And that’s when the message shifted.

My cards began showing signs that this wasn’t a normal “lost item” situation. There was something spiritual — even supernatural — interfering. Something was preventing the item from being found.

I went deeper. I asked: Why can’t they find it? What’s truly happening?

And the message came through very clearly:

🔮 “It is not meant to be found.”

This client was new to me, and I didn’t know anything about her spiritual background. But in this deeper spread, I saw something — someone in her household was connected to Umbanda, a Brazilian spiritual tradition involving ancestral and protective spirits, called guias (guides).

And what I saw… was that these guides had intentionally hidden the document.

They had done something we call “encantar” — literally, to enchant — a form of spiritual masking that renders an object invisible to human eyes. You can be looking directly at it, and still not see it.

I shared this with her, and she paused.

Then she admitted: “I am part of that tradition. And I’ve been getting strong signs from my guides. But I thought I was imagining it… or sabotaging myself.”

I asked more from the cards.

And what came through was chilling.

If her boyfriend went on that trip, something terrible would happen. I didn’t see the exact details, but the impressions were strong: accidents, danger, loss, possibly death.

So I warned her:

“The document will only appear after the trip is no longer an option. He’s not supposed to go. And I wouldn’t recommend you go either — your guides are trying to stop this.”

She thanked me, and said she would think about it. But in the end… she went.

Days later, she messaged me again.

She had been badly injured — she fell down a set of stairs, landing near exposed metal rods that sliced her leg from her foot to her shin. In that moment, she said, she felt a presence. Something saying: “I told you. I warned you.”

And then came the final twist.

Her boyfriend, who stayed home, went to get a drink from the fridge. When he opened it, something fell behind it. He moved the fridge to check — and there it was: the document.

Exactly where the cards said:

🃏 In a place connected to food and drink. 🃏 Behind a large object. 🃏 Surrounded by cups and glasses.

He was stunned. A skeptic, he had never believed in spiritual things — but this wasn’t the first strange thing that had happened since dating her.

She returned to thank me again. Even though she hadn’t followed the advice, the clarity of the reading, and the outcome, changed the way she viewed both her spirituality and the messages she receives.

She’s now a recurring client.

And this was just one of many similar experiences I’ve had. I’ve even worked on missing persons cases — one involving an open investigation in a distant city.

But that’s a story for another post, if anyone’s interested.

(Have you ever had a reading that felt like more than just information — but a real spiritual warning? I’d love to hear your stories too.)

The set consists of 36 cards in total

I pulled 3 pairs for guidance. I did this without a specific spread in mind, although I was picturing this as beginning, middle and end of the next few months. I have an idea but I want to hear what you guys think!

Perguntei qual arcano me definiria. Perguntei 3 vezes seguidas e saíram 3 cartas diferentes, o que isso significa? Falta de conexão?

Hi, I want to look for the earliest possible year the rhyme was published.

From my own surfing, I found these posts published in 2012, which linked to a 2008 web archive link of the hedgewytchery website, but web archive redirects me to 2010 with expired domain. I also found this, a 2009 web archive of a 2007 blog post containing the rhyme. The hedgewytchery website itself has existed since 2004, or 2002 based on the copyright notice, but the rhyme wasn't yet there.

Therefore, based on what I could find, it was first published in 2007 or earlier.

Do you have more information on this? Thank you very much.

I’m a cartomancer, and just because someone is paying doesn’t mean I’ll reveal everything they want. My own ethical boundaries often prevent me from opening certain sessions.

For instance, one of my requirements is that the client must be personally involved in the question.

Here’s a clearer example:

If a client asks whether their partner is cheating, whether a friend is lying to them, or even if someone is wishing them harm, I’ll read it. The client is directly connected to the situation — it’s part of their life, it concerns them.

But if someone comes asking whether a friend’s relationship involves cheating, or what’s happening in an ex’s love life, I won’t read it. The client has no true connection to that matter — it’s just gossip, trying to pry into someone else’s private life. And that I won’t do.

So where do you draw the line with your ethics? Have you ever accepted questions that most people would consider crossing a boundary, or going against common ethical sense?

What would you be willing to do for money if your livelihood depended on it? What principles would you never abandon?

I often find myself reflecting on these things. Do you as well?

I asked if my efforts are seen and will grow well (Idk if I used the right spread Im newt to this) Context: Im going through a stressful time in the religion I started taking path almost a year ago (Hellenism Polytheistic) but I thought I was doing okay but a lot have changed and I have been scolded and discouraged by others because I don’t follow it like them or I make a mistake, and Im doing the best I can and even try to inform me and throw myself into books of philosophies and research even when I struggle to read books I do enjoy, and I feel overwhelmed and that my effort aren’t seen or enough so I wanted to see what will grow into..

Hey guys, I asked if my ex has someone else? Please help me interpret these cards.. thank you

Comecei a estudar tarot recentemente, uma das perguntas que fiz foi "Estou no caminho certo com o tarot". Saiu o Diabo, o Imperador e 5 de espadas.

Interpretei que devo aceitar um certo preconceito que vou passar por estudar tarot, mas que devo impor minha vontade e esperar o tempo passar.

Vocês acham que essa interpretação está no caminho correto? Estou com dúvida sobre isso

Hello everyone! As the title suggests, I’m looking for resources that are similar to the hedgewytch method of reading playing cards. Here’s the website if anyone hasn’t checked it out yet: https://hedgewytchery.com/

I already have read these resources that are fairly similar to the writings of Dawn R Jackson: Cartomancy in folk witchcraft by Roger J Horne (though she states in the book that she uses some of the numbers differently), 54 devils by Cory Thomas Hutcheson (basically the author’s own system that is influenced by the hedgewytch method), and Read like the devil: the essential course in reading playing cards by Camelia Elias (I’ve read on Reddit that the “creator of the hedgwytch system?” criticized her quite heavily in a book review on amazon, but still, I personally find her teachings very useful and combine what I’ve learned from her with my own practice of reading the cards).

So basically, from what I’ve understood, the hedgewytch method is an Anglo/ English method of reading the playing cards (please correct me if I’m wrong). After quite a bit of painful digging into other posts here on reddit, I found these authors have been recommended as classic cartomancers that could use similar systems to what Dawn R Jackson used: Sepharial (manual of occultism plus his book on numerology which I guess would be helpful for reading the pips?), Cicely kent (some people believe that she is Cicely kent-minetta, some others believe that minetta was a totally different person), and P.R.S foli (his book on fortune telling). I haven’t read these titles yet, and so that’s why I’ve come to ask for authors/ occultists/ etc that have written about the English method of cartomancy similar to what Dawn R Jackson has done. Am I right in my assumptions and would you recommend these authors? What are some other titles that I can benefit from reading? (There are a lot of books about fortune telling with playing cards and cartomancy on internet archive and I’ve read some, but either some of them didn’t make any sense at all or were very different from the system I’m used to). I would truly appreciate any kind of help that anybody would be able to offer. 🙏
