The Fate Cards

 

The Deck of Fate is a deck of cards used by Seers and Diviners to connect with the energies of their surroundings and answer questions, see the future, and connect with energies around them. Of course, the legitimacy of the cards are entirely up for debate - but that does not stop those that use them. The deck is made up of 78 cards, each representing something both in the upright and in the reverse.

How to Use

 

Have the person receiving the reading roll 3d78, check the number that correlates and place it in the position of the spread you are doing. To determine its position, roll a 1d2 - 1’s are Upright and 2’s are Reversed. The reason behind this whole post is that card readers can press Ctrl + F to search for the correlating card quickly.

 

OOC Note

 

Spoiler

If interested in interpreting cards OOCLY or IRPLY feel free to shoot me a message/bird. For readings, please do the same! Fate Cards are not actually magical, and only read the energies present. They can be right or wrong, and are vague enough to apply to many different scenarios and situations. If you have an idea for what a card could look like, feel free to leave a comment! I would love to eventually have descriptions for each card.
