Random Reading - #44

I’m waiting in breathless anticipation for the arrival of another 1960s Czech fortune-telling deck (woot!), so in the meantime I’m giving this one an airing – simply called “Vykládací Karty” or Reading Cards, with artwork by Czech painter and graphic designer Vladimír Tesař*.

The instructions say to read the deck as a tableau, but for this RR I’ve chosen to use a 'fragment' in the manner described – the centre card is the “person”, the top and left-hand cards are favourable, the right-hand and bottom cards, unfavourable.

Our “person” is the Judge: someone concerned about their career.

Favourable - Trouble (a better translation would be Annoyance; the leaflet calls it Quarrel) and Luck:
Be patient, outstanding employment results are coming

Unfavourable -Temptation and Fidelity (Faithfulness in the leaflet):
You may be out of pocket due to misplaced trust


*The original printing, with titles in Czech only, was published in 1967, but I believe my four-language copy is from 1970.
