Fragments
Reflections on cards and the life of the fortuneteller
The short selection of fragments below form a corpus of texts that have an introductory character. The focus is on being a diviner and an artist. The shorter pieces seek to capture a particular mood. For essays presented at a higher frequency, I refer you to the Read Like the Devil website.

Cartomancy books
This is a survey of my main cartomancy books and a recommendation on where to start.
More teaching or more writing?
On the 6-card draw, how a book gets started, and a word about steering away from the pervert's guide to the rhetoric of negation.
The fortuneteller: a portrait
The question that discloses a surprising portrait of the fortuneteller.
The inner voice as a dimwit
Falling for fallacies that cartomancers apply to their practice and what to do about it.
