Augury Cards

A typical Augur deck consists of the following. Six suits of Minor Cards. Each suit has 8 cards (named after the days of the week when not numbered), a Rogue, a Priest, a Mage, and a Lord – for 12 cards and 72 total minor cards. • Dragon/teeth (depicted as a sharp canine) – Spirit - Suit deals with Wisdom, Divine Magics, Mysteries, Important Decisions, Death • Books – Fire – Suit deals with Magical(arcane), Reason, Knowledge, Advanced Years • Flags/Eyes – Air – Social Status, Nobility, Military, Social Power, Family • Cups/Hearts – Water – Suit deals with Love, Life, and Emotion, Adulthood • Coins/Rings – Earth – Merchants, Material possessions. Greed. Adolescent years. • Staves/Swords – Wood – Common Laborers, Nature, Farmers, Youth, Childhood
There is a ranking order amongst the minor cards, listed as above. A 3 of Dragons trumps a 3 of Books should one be near the other. That means that the primary focus is usually on the highest ranking card.
Then of the set of the Major Cards, a variable number exist.
The Omen Cards include: The Fool, The Dragon, The High Priestess, The Vine, The Tree, The Quill, The Lovers, The Charger, The Midwife, The Hermit, the Clock, The Magistrate, The Mirror, The Gallows, Death, The Coffin, The Alchemist, The Anvil, The Chain, The Assassin, The Augur, The Stars, The Fountain, The Merchant, The Crown, The Bridge, the Ship, and The Artist. Not including The Augur, this accounts for 27 primary cards. Some decks include other cards like The Seer, The Jug, The Cartographer, The Whip, The Monkey and The Circle. A multitude of other cards also exist. This generally adds another about 27 to 30 cards to the standard deck (location, culture, and personal tastes can modify this number.)
Sixteen other cards also exist – the Celestial Cards. Thirteen cards represent each of the moons and 3 for each of the suns. Aja has found a 17th card in her deck with a new card for Vrask - the ghost planet.
All told, a typical full deck is 130 cards. However very few practitioners will use a full deck, they have often tailored it down to the more specific information they are seeking using a deck of 50 to 70 cards.
Anyone can pick up a deck and do a reading. Success is marginal. The decks themselves are slightly magical if they were created by an Augur. If they were in turn blessed by a priest of Kristor, they will radiate moderate magic.
The success of the readings is usually minimal. However, if the feat Augury Deck Usage is gained, that person becomes an augur. The requirements for Augury Deck Usage is access to a verified Augury Deck and at least 2 ranks placed in Knowledge: Fortune Telling.
When an augur uses a deck, they gain 3 special abilities.
First they can create new cards by taking a similar stock as the other cards and literally drawing and/or painting the new card. This usually is done because a card disappears (sometimes at random), a card is damaged or destroyed, or the Augur learns of a new card they wish to place in their deck. Merely wanting to place a card – of say a Cloud – in the deck will not work and can actually render the deck useless. When making a new card for an existing card, the augur may want to make that card more specific to a person. For example, if the augur senses a potential target has several common traits with the Fool, they may redraw that card with the target being depicted as the Fool to reinforce this. More than once augurs have done this only to find when they did their readings their target’s depictions or visage is now on another card in the deck. It is considered very bad luck for an augur to create a card with their own visage and this often has disastrous results. However, if the deck shows the augur their own image, that augur best beware and take the warning with all seriousness.
Second is sometimes when they do a reading, a new card will just appear in their deck. Anytime this happens, the augur is aware of the significance of the card, e.g. if a 10 of Books or the Mountain appears on a reading the augur will have a general idea of its meaning. Once a card appears, it usually stays in the deck unless the Augur removes it beforehand.
The third is they almost always have a general concept of what each card is trying to say. If a card were to appear which they were uncertain of, usually other cards will surround it verifying that a great mystery exists around this topic. This often happens when high-level spells are in use designed to hide or avoid detection.
The following is a general breakdown of what each card represents.

• The Coffin - "Corpse Card"
  

  Focus: Impending Death, A Good honorable death
  Reverse Focus: A dishonorable death. A painful death. An untimely death.
  Advice: Closely related to the death card, just more specific. Has an overtone of setting things right in one's life more so than finishing goals. This card has a finality to it of something valuable lost - while it may not represent a true death, it does represent a finality for the subject regarding a stage of life - a suddenly lost job, a spouse or child leaving forever, a home destroyed by fire, a criminal finally being caught. Though something valuable is lost, it may ultimately be a good thing.

• The Alchemist

  Focus: Temperance, Proper Planning, Patience, The Middle Path
  Reverse Focus: Lack of balance, Dangerous Excess or Extremes
  Advice: Success requires discipline and focus. Be alert for missing ingredients in your goals or life. Seek knowledge.

• The Anvil - "The Blacksmith"
  

  Focus: Conserve strength, Prepare for conflict, Train hard, Hard earned victory
  Reverse Focus: Lack of planning, over confidence
  Advice: Similar to the Alchemist and can carry the same message, however you know the challenge ahead, don't get distracted. Make sure the cost of victory isn't greater than you are willing to pay.
  This card has a considerable tone of timing and usually the image gives the Augur and idea of if time to plan (which is still necessary) is short, or if there is sufficient time to really prepare.

• The Chain - "The manacles"
  

  Focus: Addiction, Destructive Behavior, Denial
  Reverse Focus: Regaining control, Finding freedom
  Advice: Represents how one's choices can destroy their life. The chains are self created. How a bad situation is made worse by bad choices. Can also represent power given away or given to another. The key is to accept responsibility, then the light for freedom can start to be seen. Self-Acceptance and inner reflection will be important to escape the chains. Acknowledge your feelings and emotions.

• The Assassin

  Focus: Dark forces aligned against the subject, Sudden Upheaval, Fall from grace, Grave embarrassment, disaster
  Reverse Focus: Delayed disaster, Narrowly avoided disaster, Temporary reprieve
  Advice: Circumstances beyond your control are at work. You may be the focal point for change, however. Your goal should be to cushion the effects, especially for the most vulnerable. Self-sacrifice and not thinking of yourself will help those around you the most in trying times. Change will come quickly and may be painful. Can be the destruction of ego as the belief of being unique and special is brought down – being forced upon the stark truth of reality. Not all wisdom and enlightenment comes peacefully.

• The Augur - "The Mirror"
  

  Focus: Self-Awareness
  Reverse Focus: Denial
  Advice: Events are critical or important to the Augur. Often seen when doing a reading for another or seeking direction. The risk of improper action is critical for the Augur. In reversed position, it tells the Augur to examine all beliefs carefully.
  This card is never crafted by the Augur. It will appear on it's own volition within the deck when the Augur is ready. It may disappear as soon as the deck is shuffled.

• The Stars

  Focus: Hope, Trust, Positive Thinking, Regrowth, Healing
  Reverse Focus: Loss of faith, insecurity, doubt, discouragement
  Advice: Time to focus on the bigger picture. Find what is truly important in your life. Don't get caught up in day to day tribulations. This is a card suggesting hope and encouragement. Don't be afraid to trust. Trust in higher powers to deliver you through your trials.

• The Fountain

  Focus: Illusions, Intuition
  Reverse Focus: Confusion, Misinterpretation, Poor Judgement
  Advice: Not all is at it seems. Reflections of the truth. What is apparent may be deceiving, dangers overlooked. Examine fears and doubts - the subconscious may be trying to tell you something. Don't ignore dreams or gut feelings. You probably have time for reflection.

• The Merchant - "The Illusionist"
  

  Focus: Perspective, Enthusiasm, Expectations
  Reverse Focus: Disappointment, Unsatisfied, Hollow Victory
  Advice: The situation is not as great as it appears. Over inflated sense of value. Possibly over inflated ego. Temper expectations. The outcome may still be good just not great. Buyer's remorse. Winning may leave you feeling disappointed, however you can still claim victory.

• The Crown

  Focus: Joy, Success, Celebration, Clarity of Thought, Pureness of purpose
  Reverse Focus: Loss, Self-deception, Negativity, Misguided goals

• The Bridge

  Focus: Awakening, Change, Control of destiny
  Reverse Focus: Self-loathing, Sabotaging one's self, Doubt, Loss of purpose
  Advice: Your path is nearing completion. A card representing change, yet a change you must choose to make. It is often a change for the good, yet one fully under your control. You can avoid the change, however it will often be to your regret. It does indicate a day of reckoning, possibly for a major goal, even a life's work. You will see the change coming and be able to influence it. Trust in the process.

• The Ship

  Focus: Fulfilment, Completion, Harmony
  Reverse Focus: Lack of direction, Incompletion
  Advice: A time to rest, a time to enjoy success. References the concept of 'your ship coming in.' This card affirms it is ok to start a new path, start a new goal as long as the intent to start is good and clear. Time to plan. Don't rest on your laurels as it may distract from future success. Ignore what others think, trust the course you know to be correct.

• The Artist

  Focus: Vacation, Whimsy, A time of rest, Rejuvenation
  Reverse Focus: Overworked, Seriousness, Worn out
  Advice: This card recommends a break, a time to step away from your goals. Have some fun and enjoy life. Live in the moment. Pursue small side paths. This card indicates a level of safety or security if you take your eye off your goal for a brief period of time. Failure to follow this advice could lead to overlooking critical details later on. Also indicates the need to be fully rested before tackling the challenges ahead.

• The Seer

  Focus: The path ahead is clear.
  Reverse Focus: Unclear road ahead
  Advice: This is a good card to see. It generally implies that you have good knowledge of what's to come and while there may be obstacles, your path through or around them will be easily seen.
  This card is not found in most decks. Many augurs find it to be superfluous and too redundant with the other cards. While it may have very strict message, other cards can often impart more information.

• The Jug

  Focus: Celebrate the victories of those around you
  Reverse Focus: False praise
  Advice: This card hints that if you want to keep the energy and spirits high of those around you, you will need to take some time to really celebrate their accomplishments.

  Advice:

• Untitled

  Focus: External Influences - advice is often present n how to react as the subject often has little control over how events will play out.

• Dalsharnik (Red Sun)

  Focus: Beneficial act from a superior authority
  Reverse Focus: Misdeed from a superior authority
  Advice: A liege, or possibly a magistrate, or boss will take and action that directly affects you. If beneficial, it could be a boon, a gift of land or money, or possibly a promotion. In reverse, the action taken is rarely directed at you, however it will affect you just the same.
  

• Azura (Blue sun)

  Focus: Fascination
  Reverse Focus: Jaded or Irritation
  Advice: An associate or possibly someone you just met has become extremely interested in you. This interest could come in all forms from business prospect, to interest in your skills, to sexual. In reverse, that person has become either jaded with your presence or possibly irritated. In both cases, examine your interpretation of other's reactions carefully. This card exists largely in the presence and this means once you have ascertained its meaning, you can act to either reinforce or change the behavior as needed.
  This card almost never refers to someone close or well known. It almost always refers to either a casual acquaintance or someone just met.

• Seriat (Yellow sun)

  Focus: A Benefactor, Random act of kindness, Good Samaritan
  Reverse Focus: Unknown Need
  Advice: Expect help from an unexpected quarter. In the reverse, it is help for a need you do not know exists or greatly underestimated. This card in both positions urges you to readily accept all incoming help because you will need it whether you think you need it or not.

• Thrakku - "The Despiser"
  

  Focus: Unknown enemy, Darkness , Poison
  Reverse Focus: Vanquished foe
  Advice: You are in danger from an unknown quarter. An enemy you don't yet know of or a known enemy is seeking your downfall. Their tactics may not be honorable. More so than just defeating you, they wish to inflict suffering upon you and those you care about. In the reverse, it indicated a foe will become vanquished, though possibly not through actions of your own undertaking.
  Ramian Fax; Moon of darkest jet black, barely visible. Ramian is often mostly associated in this case with someone seeking vengeance upon you.

• Throki - "Lawgiver"
  

  Focus: Vindication
  Reverse Focus: Bureaucracy, Law Suit, Legal Problems
  Advice: You will likely receive vindication and exoneration in the eyes of the public and those whose opinion you value. In the reverse, it often indicates the start of problems in the forms of accusations (true or false) from other quarters. When seeing this card, consider carefully where setting the narrative and being the first to reveal dark truths about yourself might not be advisable. Don't expect secrets to stay hidden.
  Stengard; Moon of whitish gray with light wisps of light green. Most often if Stengard is involved, it indicates your true character is going to be revealed.

• Rikorskey - "Black Justice, Vengeance Star"
  

  Focus: Pyrrhic Victory
  Reverse Focus: Vengeance without concern for self
  Advice: The battle is already engaged, this just foretells the outcome. You will win, but at what costs. Trying to temper losses will likely lead to defeat. In the reverse, it often means a foe will happily destroy themselves if it means harming you.
  Radok; Moon of yellowish green with wisps of black circling the entire moon. Unlike most celestials, the meaning takes on a whole aspect if it invokes Radok. In this case, it represents the battle is over, the damage is done. Now is a time to rebuild. It suggests when rebuilding, start with the basics, start small and only through hard work will you rise again. Radok is a god of farmers and this correlates with the care and diligence in planting a crop and caring for it all the way to harvest.

• Melila - "Mercy"
  

  Focus: Dark Mother, A Cure
  Reverse Focus: Death
  Advice: Often seen injured, diseased, or you have experienced ruin in your life. You will find your cure, however the road to recovery will be perilous and you may question if all the suffering required to recover was worth it. It invokes the idea of a mother who acknowledges the road to recovery in her child will be full of pain and shows little mercy in the daily ministrations. In the reverse, it indicates that death may be the only release from pain and suffering. It doesn't advocate suicide, more so it advocates acceptance of circumstances.
  Valshin; Moon of darkest blues with black marbling. When Valshin is invoked, it turns the meaning and injects mercy at all levels. The road to recovery may be rough, but expect solace and comfort along the way.

• Salar - "Wandering Child"
  

  Focus: Stranger, Dark truths
  Reverse Focus: Unknown danger
  Advice: This card indicates little more than a stranger is going to enter your life and impact it in interesting ways. Often this stranger will cause you to take and entirely unexpected path. Often knowledge will be revealed in the process which you will wish you didn't know. The advice is to look for and accept this knowledge as it is something you need to know. In the reverse, this is even more important because what you don't know will hurt you.
  Borollo; Moon of solid gray with small strands of white. When Borollo is invoked, don't be surprised if magic is involved at some level. Borollo advises strongly the need to dig deeper into anything unusual occurring around you, quite possibly for your own good.

• Darkello - "Night's Fire"
  

  Focus: Enlightenment, Forbidden knowledge
  Reverse Focus: Dangerous or harmful Knowledge
  Advice: This card indicated that you will glean greater understanding or knowledge about a topic you have been pursuing. Unlike Salar, it's knowledge you want, yet probably shouldn't have. In the reverse, it could indicate possession of this knowledge is a risk for you. For example, you might find out the public name of a local crime boss and are now a target for elimination.
  Yahalla; Moon of solid rust red. When Yahalla is indicated, a much more neutral tone is taken. It simply implies that some knowledge you have been searching for will soon be found. It also can indicate if you have been struggling to figure something out, you will soon find a good solution.

• The Half Moon

  Focus: A physical threat, Storm, Weather,
  Reverse Focus: Catastrophe
  Advice: The Warning Card. Often something natural will soon be a threat to you. Could be anything from a bizarre accident, bad weather, to coming across a venomous reptile. This card advises you to not take unnecessary risks. In the reverse, it indicates catastrophe is pending, often from a major natural event like a storm or earthquake.
  Torya; Moon of palest orange. Torya being invoked often indicates the same thing as the normal card, a warning. However, in this case steps to stay safe may be more evident and could involve seeking succor in one of her temples or advise from one of her followers.

• Schraum - "Nullifier"
  

  Focus: Entropy, Lost time
  Reverse Focus: Forgotten memories, Spiritual Threat
  Advice: This card is often rather benign compared to several other of the Celestials. It merely indicates that something is going to waste your time. It could be a wrong assumption, a red herring, or a wild goose chase. Unfortunately, if time is critical, that could cause problems. In the reverse, it indicates you have forgotten something important or overlooked something important. While it advises to seek this out, often times, what is lost remains lost. It can also imply that you are under spiritual attack from either internal or external sources. A spiritual attack include anything and causes you to loose sight of your moral compass, causes you to loose sight of what you believe to be important in life, to an actual attack aimed at destroying your beliefs.
  Kristor; Moon of lightest yellow. When Kristor is invoked it can be similar to the main card depending on the other cards of the reading. However, there is usually a message that with time, all things fade. Including the fearfulness of current events, emotional hurt, and loss. Kristor can also be taken as advise to wait for other events to develop.

• Wegsetze - "Humiliator"
  

  Focus: Humiliation, Gossip
  Reverse Focus: Vindication
  Advice: Humiliation and Defeat are already present or soon will be. While you likely can't avoid this fate as it is brought by outside sources, you can endure as your destruction is not the result. You are now the target of gossip. In reverse, it is not so much as vindication in the form of exoneration but more you will have an avenue to attack back in kind.
  Letheria; Moon of grayish blue. Represents fire and ice. Feminine overtones. Whereas Wegsetze focuses on humiliation, Letheria is more interested in all forms of discomfort and pain. Where she is concerned, humility becomes a luxury.

• Burasco - "Sun Chaser"
  

  Focus: Theft of properties, honor, or ideas
  Reverse Focus: Ill-gotten gains
  Advice: This card advises to be careful, as you are or already the victim of theft. It could be random, or it could be targeted. It also advises against gambling, not so much that you will be cheated but that you are heading for an unlucky streak. In the reverse, it indicates that you will have a good opportunity to take that which you don't deserve. It could be physical goods, but could also be something as simple a undue credit. The choice will be yours.
  Sanderal; Moon of dark forest green with very slight wisps of white. With Sanderal, it is almost always in the reversed positions and it indicates a level of good fortune coming your way as Sanderal has taken notice of your actions.

• Kog - "Beautiful Slayer, Blue Seeker"
  

  Focus: Violent response, Planned response
  Reverse Focus: War
  Advice: This card indicates that someone is planning aggression against you. It could be a violent and unpredictable response to an action you have taken or a calculated response. Where Thrakku and Rikorskey tend to be more personal, this is more large scale and may be against an organization you are part of. In the reverse position all out war is being initiated.
  Josca; Moon of dark blue with discrete red streaks circling. When Josca is indicated, this card indicates one of two things. The first relates to Kog in that you should with proper planning be able to mount a creditable defense. The second option deals with her aspect of physical beauty. In this position it indicates a need that despite what happens, you will need to focus on keeping up appearances of being above the fray. Failure to do so will cause loss of confidence by others in your abilities.

• Elarxinebos - "Mind Slasher"
  

  Focus: Scattered thoughts, Misleading Information
  Reverse Focus: Magical Attack
  Advice: The Deceit card. You have being deceived. Usually by another, though it can rarely indicate deception from your own intuition and thoughts. The advise is to question everything an opponent or adversary gives you. In reverse it indicates a magical attack up you. It could be something simple as a scrying into your personal affairs but more often means an attack of magic designed to deceive or possibly curse you.
  Slinjetto; Tiny moon of silvery white. When Slinjetto is invoked, you are advised to act quickly and with surety. The abruptness of your actions will cause dissension and confusion in those who have aligned against you. While Slinjetto is a goddess of chaos and war, the advise is to not go to the extreme - the advise is for quickness over decisiveness.

• Shaze - "Blood Binge"
  

  Focus: Commencement of senseless hostilities, Disease
  Reverse Focus: Evil
  Advice: This card invokes the idea that you are the target of events occurring from entirely random events. Much like catching a disease unexpectedly, this is unavoidable. If anything, this card advises that sometimes things just happen which appear cruel however they have no reason. This card stresses not to waste time looking for a cause, for a waste of time it will be. It does not make any council in how to respond, just not to look for a cause. In the reverse, it indicates you were the unlucky victim of something truly evil which has no personal interest in you, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
  Grethello; Moon of reddish/purple mists. As Grethello is largely considered to be insane and evil, no rational for his actions ever exist. Getting this card when inspired by Grethello takes on a strange quirk. It more or less represents the card Shaze, however it hints that you can avoid this ill fate if you be the force for entirely random evil violence yourself - making yourself the actuator of this card rather than the subject. This is one of the few cards that seems to give you an option after the reading as to what the reading means.

• Vrask (Ghost planet)

  Focus: Loss, Forgotten possessions, Unseen Value
  Reverse Focus: A return, Value restored
  Advice: The ghostly green sister planet to Camoray. Seeing this card often indicates something you have forgotten or lost, possibly unknowingly, and many times it is something of value. In its reverse position it may indicate that whatever you lost is on its way back into your life. This could be anything from a lover to a hated rival. The true value of what is returning might be hidden, so this card suggests you analyze everything new in your life for hidden meaning, to see if its not actually something old.
  Almost no augur includes this card in their deck. It represents and reinforces the idea of something loss and unseen. If this card needs to appear, it will appear. Once it appears in the deck it will usually be present for a few reading before disappearing again.

• Untitled

  Focus: None
  Advice:

• Untitled

  Focus: Fire: Divine Magics, Mysteries, Initiative, Drive, Desire, Risk Taking
  Advice:

• Rogue of Dragons - "Nightmare"
  

  Focus: None
  Advice: Sometimes things mysterious are too dangerous. Traditions are designed to protect. When this card is revealed, it means that the subject has pushed to far and taken a path ill advised.
