Deck: McKittrick Hotel Manderly Playing Cards (Sleep No More Playing Card Deck)
Question: What is your voice and personality?
Spread: None originally, though I decided to do the threecard Vibe Pull same as my last deck interview since I think it gives the deck a better opportunity to expand on its message
Outcome:
13 of Diamonds
9 of Clubs
4 of Spades
13 of Diamonds... well then. Right out of the gate, the deck is turning things on its head. I hadn't even realized the deck had a 13 card, so it surprised me when it was the first pull. Normally I interpret cards via a numerological system, but 13 breaks that and forces me to come up with something new, especially with the tone of the deck and where I got it. I'm choosing to interpret 13 as an omen, prophecy, or marker of great mysteries and the unknown. It's a big Something, which combined with the energetic and changing diamonds suit gives me big flashing "portents of change in the future whether you are ready or not" energy. But in this case, I truly do think the deck wanted to tell me to "expect the unexpected".
9 of Clubs is for loss of what you worked for, finishing cycles, the path of destiny coming to an end. Do not expect happy endings without diligent work or painless insights. You need to put in labor for the things you seek and the destiny you desire at the end of the road, and it will not pretend that isn't the truth.
4 of Spades. For me, spades is often acting as a reversal for more positive cards like the 4. Instead of reliable stability and expected results, the deck wants me to be aware of the difficulty of achieving those things and obstacles in my way towards the results I desire. In a way it might be saying "you can't get something without breaking something else - everything comes at a price".
This deck is connected to Sleep No More and by extension the play Macbeth - one of my favorites by Shakespeare. It brings with it the same grim reality that the play communicates to us: work for your desires but do not think all things will go to plan, and be aware of unforseen consequences. The unexpected can pop up around any corner and the hand of the universe is always in play, especially when we are trying to avoid it.

Spread: None (drew one and then felt like the deck wanted me to continue to pull more)
Outcome:
2 of Clubs, the Broadcast Tower
Jack of Diamonds, the Dagger
8 of Clubs, the Tabby Cat
Two clubs card and one diamond is definitely giving me a pragmatic, work-focused deck, one intent on results and making your own good fortune.
Two of Clubs is giving me advice on making stable decisions, planning in advance. The Broadcast Tower is not subtle with its intentions - it will announce itself loudly and with authority.
Jack of Diamonds is growth, growth in luck and fortune or "grindset" but also recklessness in the way that luck can bring both good and bad. The Dagger is swift and decisive, moving ahead without reversability and clear cutting intent - the deck advocates decisive action on the situation at hand.
8 of Clubs, the ultimate "planning and hard work" card. It faces obstacles but does so with diligence, grounding, and strategy. It's not afraid to get its hands dirty and encourages you to work hard for the outcomes you desire. The Tabby Cat looks intent and a bit mischievous or scheming - it has a plan that is already three steps ahead. It does not wait for you to catch up, it knows where it will be and where it wants to go.
The DocM77 motto of "Grind, Optimize, Automate, Thrive" certainly fits the tone of this deck and how it is presenting itself to me. I'm excited to work with it as a tool for growth, diligence, and self discipline.

Candle Safety Rule #2: Do not add flammable items to candles or burn candles with embedded items!
In 2022, the National Candle Association conducted a safety test for candles with added botanicals and reported that the candles did not meet fire safety standards. [Source]
We get it. They look cool, and if you're of a witchy persuasion, they seem like a great way to put together a candle spell. But adding things like paper, herbs, flowers, crystals, or oils to a candle is a major, major fire hazard. They can cause the candle to burn in unexpected ways, experience rapid changes in flame height, put off smoke, throw sparks, ignite from multiple points, or even combust.
Practice good fire safety. Don't add things to candles. For further information on candle safety, please see the National Candle Association's Candle Safety Tips page.
While it's not exactly nice or fair to ever label any question as "bad", "dumb", etc..... however, there are questions that will not lead to any kind of helpful response nor any logical answers for anyone involved. These types of questions will bring more confusion & most often than not, feeling like the reading was pointless. So let's try to avoid all that..
The point of this post is to try to weed out those kinds of questions for tarot readers to receive & for all of us to learn from; this will make future readings be what most of us utilize them for:
• guidance & clarity. 🌱
For people who are requesting the readings, and aren't sure how to ask for the information you seek, majority of readers will be happy to work with you on making a tarot spread with questions that are reasonable & how to ask them in a way to ensure you get the answers.
• "Who will I marry?"
Asking "Who will I marry?" assumes your future is already written & that you have no choice in the matter...which is not the case.
Tarot is much better at showing you how to find a healthy partner or what patterns you need to break to be ready for love.
Also, I'm not really sure what kind of answer people are particularly seeking with this kind of question. Do you expect me to pull a card that says "Tom Smith from Florida"? 🤔🤷
• "When and how will I die?"
Once again, your future is not a set in stone thing. Your future potentially holds various outcomes depending on your choices.
Also, turns out the cards don't exactly have any specific dates on them nor do they have specific "causes of death" listed....
• "When will Bob and Hilda finally break up?"
I'm gonna start off on this one by saying: that is not any of your business. Respectfully. Whether you're in love with Bob or Hilda or both, their relationship is theirs and theirs only. If it was somehow your business, you wouldn't be having to contact Tarot to ask about it.
Also, most readers do follow some ethical guidelines. Peeking into others lives, especially when they are totally unaware & have not given any permissions to do so... This is an invasion of privacy. I try to respect the privacy of everyone.
• "What does my soulmate look like?"
There also, is no tarot card that speaks directly to a hair color or a height of an individual or etc. There is also a lack of photos of people in the world on the cards.
Sorry for being a smart ass, but honestly... What kind of answers are people really expecting with these questions?
• "Should I dye my hair blonde or red?"
I'm not even jumping into or even dipping a single toe into this pool of inquiry. Most of my previous answers cover this one as well. 0
• Questions Regarding Any Communication With Spirits/Ghosts/Entities/Etc.
⚠️First of all, this can be risky and dangerous.
The Spirit World, regardless of your personal beliefs, is still unknown to those of us who are living. While attempting this, if you aren't properly educated & trained or experienced in this field, you do not know what doors you may be opening yourself up to, or who you are actually communicating with.
Just like with living people, some entities and spirits can & have & will lie to you, manipulate, etc.
If you wish to have a serious type of communication with someone or something that is not of the living world, I strongly suggest contacting a professional that is trained to do so.
In other words, that ain't me, folks.
Questions Regarding Anyone's Medical Health And/Or Medical Advice/Treatment/Diagnosis; Questions Seeking Financial Advice, Regarding Legal Advice/Assistance:
I am not a medical or psychiatric professional. I am not a financial advisor or broker. I am not an attorney, legal aid, or the like. I am not any kind of trained or certified professional in any field, actually.
We are supposed to say tarot is for entertainment only and should not be used in place of any help or advice that requires a professional.

Procrastinated on writing by making a Tarot spread again :3 Shape doesn't matter too much for this one. I've also tried it in a circle shape and a horseshoe-ish shape.
Silver Coin: What are you holding onto?
Friendship Doodle: What is your goal/wish?
Bright Flower: How is your effort to achieve your goal viewed by those around you?
Bell Pendant: What is a current positive force in your life?
Crumpled Poem: What is something you need to acknowledge?
Lumpy Clay: What is something you need to change to achieve your goal?
Broken Doll: What will you need to accept about the outcome?
And so the Wheel has spun round once more, and we come to the end of the darkest days - it is time to assess our coming cycles once again.
Read on for the full reading ->
This spread is visually very interesting to me. It is predominantly Diamonds and Hearts, with 6 Hearts and 4 Diamonds in the spread of 15 cards (10/15), and most of the cards have a duplicate in face or number somewhere - wether it's all four of the Four cards being pulled, or the pairs of Jacks, Queens, Threes, and Sevens.
No on to the analysis of the cards themselves, starting with the monthyl cards before we dive into the message of the broader cards.
MONTHLY CARDS
January - Queen of Diamonds
Diamonds are change, and this January is packed with change for me as I'm moving across the country to a new place, with a new living arrangement, and very few safety nets for me. With the intuitive but discerning energy of the queen, this is a calculated change, and one I must approach with maturity and do my best to nurture.
February - Jack of Spades
After moving in January, the spades card for obstacles pop up immediately - the Jack of Spades indicates recklessness within growth, and combined with spades destructive or challenging tendencies this month will probably be rocky for me as I struggle to find my footing and cautions me not to act with too much energy or recklessness.
March - 8 of Clubs
Clubs is career and stability, and 8 is all about hard work and plans. This is heavily career focused, and means March will probably be a week of a lot of crunch in the office and/or a lot of grinding on career, wether it's my formal employment or trying to make ends meet in another way. It may also mean working hard for finances independently if something happens to my job.
April - Ace of Hearts
New beginnings for relationships or for a new emotional beginning, as well as general energy towards the emotional side of my life. This means I should be open to new relationships, platonic or otherwise, and this will be important in a new place as I try to make the city feel like home.
May - 3 of Diamonds
Stress around money, or financial indecision. This can also be some kind of indecisiveness around a big change or offer that's made, and just generally this card gives me the impression there will be turbulence in my fortune or stress coming from it this month.
June - 5 of Hearts
A big upheaval or surprise when it comes to my relationships and emotions, not necessarily good or bad, but simply a big change in the status quo. This can either be a large internal upheaval, or an external relationship of some kind, but not in a conflicting or negative sense - rather just unexpected.
July - 7 of Diamonds
Another card marking challenges, danger, and loss towards my finances or a bad turn in fortune in some way. Seven cards denote the most violent upheaval of the whole deck, and July/August are both of them back to back. This is a card of bad luck, and of difficult changes ahead.
August - 7 of Hearts
Another 7 card representing challenges and loss, but this time emotionally and in my relationships - this again can be internal, for my intuition, or a loss of my own inner emotions and intuition, or external, and a loss of some kind of emotional connection to others, but it's hard to say which. Given it backing on a 7 of Diamonds, I lean towards it being internal or personal.
September - 4 of Spades
This card is very conflicting between its suit and face - while Spades is a card of cleaning, rebirth, and difficulties or destruction, the 4 face is all about stability, satisfaction., results of labor, and groundedness. Perhaps this means that after a period of challenges, I finally am seeing results, or that I will be facing obstacles to my stability and peace? It's difficult to read either way.
October - Jack of Clubs
Reckless growth at work or in the professional sphere, or biting off more than I can chew and making overly-ambitious plans. My feet are getting ahead of my head, and I'm too excited to think about the stability needed to make long-term plans. Conversely, barreling ahead with plans without thinking if that's what I really need to be doing.
November - 4 of Diamonds
This, finally, is the results of my hard work: the fortune and luck coming to pass, and the financial stability I've been working to achieve throughout the year and the months. For better or worse, things have come to fruiting and I'm seeing good luck and stability in my life more than in the past.
December - 3 of Hearts
Stress or emotional overwhelm, indecision around my emotions and especially around my home or people I love. I may have fought with someone and be in a fight, or somehow otherwise have come into conflict that leaves me anxious and unsure of my intuition or if I can trust myself.
YEARLY CARDS
Theme of the Year - 4 of Hearts
Overall, the year theme is apparently based strongly in the emotional and intuitive sphere, and with seeing (or seeking) stability in my relationships and satisfaction with where I am emotionally.
Boons or Blessings - Queen of Hearts
Boons come in the form of more emotional blessings - nurturing, devoted relationships and a blessing of nurturing relationships and my emotions and intuition. I can absolutely see this meaning I'm nurturing new relationships this year, and benefiting from doing so.
Challenges - 4 of Clubs
Overly focused on stability, the 4 of Clubs is as stable as stable gets - to the point of rigidity. If I stick myself into a box or overly follow the rails or a framework, I'll get stuck, wether it's professionally or just int erms of being too strict with my plans and expectations, even if they will get me results.
ANALYSIS
This is a complex and complicated spread. It seems at first glance to be very positive, but it also seems to be full of turmoil, changes, instability, and challenges. Hopefully the tone of this reading means it will be challenges for the greater good, bringing me closer to myself and my emotions, and to the people around me, as well as benefiting me financially, but being overly rigid and not bending or flexing with change means I am primed to snap in half.
I welcome other people's analysis as well! I haven't read playing cards in a long time so my numerology and suit associations are verrrrrrry dated and frankly in need of a refresh. I might go through and update my correspondences and then re-read the spread as a whole and see if I can find new meanings or interpretations of the spread together.
