Starting a new Tarot deck today - the Revelations Tarot by Zach Wong - where every card has it's own reversal! Here's the Two of Wands, plainly a card of power.

More absolute dumb luck. This is my last day on the Green Codex Tarot, and I have to show you the Devil card. It's a mirror, the only reflective surface in the whole deck. The red you see on the card is my phone. Who says the Tarot can't be funny?

I feel I was lucky to get this in four. I just discovered that you get some sort of a medal for 150 wins in a row - my max streak is: 149. 🙁 Meanwhile here is the 8 of Cups from the Green Codex deck, featuring a playful (?!) octopus.

This is just crazy. With almost no clues I just tried the first word that popped into my head, and it was correct. Meanwhile, in the Green Codex Tarot the Knight of Swords just killed a huge snake. He also seems to have no horse.

I almost forgot the post this today - 11:20PM is cutting it close. Here is the Green Codex Magician in Shaman-style. Been pulling a lot of the majors recently.

Today's solution was kind of on the nose, wasn't it? Anyway, the Hierophant in the Green Codex Tarot is a cross between Orpheus and St. Francis of Assisi. Not a typical interpretation.

A close call. I didn't use my usual second opening word, but it wouldn't have helped anyway. And here's the Green Codex Strength card, featuring a dragon instead of a lion.

Not pleased with my play in Wordle today. Anyway, Prometheus is the Knight of Wands in the Green Codex, which is not really his style. Also: where's his horse?

This answer was just a bolt from the blue. I have no explanation for it. Meanwhile, the lady on the Green Codex Four of Swords looks a little glum.

Today's card from the Green Codex, the Ace of Swords. I very much like this card because pulling out the sword might lead to glory, but also tragedy, and maybe both.

The Green Codex Tarot is weird, but charming. However, I'm not really down with this: the Nine of Pentacles is associated with female independence, not marrying some tree-guy.

Moving on to a new deck, the curious Green Codex Tarot. Just by chance I picked the same card as yesterday, the 10 of Cups. Again, differing from the norm, it shows an alchemist making the Philosopher's Stone or some perfect elixir.

My last day on the Lubanko deck, featuring her Ten of Cups. This is a card of happy home life, but the artist chose to go full-on weird. Whatever brings you joy is good.

About as close to a Hole in One as it's possible to get. My usual opening word must be pretty obvious. And here's Emily Lubanko's Page of Pentacles, looking more spritely than is traditional.
