#takemaybacktoarcadia tarot spread, Rider-Waite learning deck -- May 11, 2026

Card spread by @huntingteeth

Same two spreads, arranged together for time's sake. There are 2 cards for position-2 of the Veridian spread, due to two jumping out; not intentional. With this deck, I take whatever cards flip or jump out as I shuffle. It takes longer, but it feels better for me. (Grail oracle cards are too big to shuffle easily.)

Will interpret later, but I can see myself in these keywords. They aren't permanent reflections of identity. Also, "the house must endure" can be about what gets you through things, a way to survive. As we grow, the same coping skills may not be as effective. Don't be discouraged!

The cycle must end for the house to endure.

#takemaybacktoarcadia tarot, Oracle of the Grail Code -- May 11, 2026

Card spread by @huntingteeth

I chose the Oracle of the Grail Code deck for its imagery, but these cards are huge and sometimes horizontal. I could only roughly arrange them in the "right" shape, but it should still be clear who is who.

The Vessel sticker (by Nerdgasmatron, via @vintage-tech) is covering a baby's face on the "service" card. It's "Madonna Litta" by Leonardo da Vinci.

Will pull Rider-Waite for these spreads, too. I haven't even interpreted these yet; just had to post right away. Wampus is on the spread now.

See you over at the new site!!

The only thing that will really stay here is our E3 coverage from last year (until this year's E3 happens)

cheers!
