Why this word is great
CARTOMANCER — [Noun] A diviner who interprets the future or hidden truths through the symbolic arrangement of playing or tarot cards. From carto- ("card") + -mancer ("diviner, practitioner of magic"). Unlike an "astrologer" (who traces fate in the cold geometry of stars) or a "palmist" (who reads the body’s worn topography), the cartomancer finds prophecy in the shuffle and spread of paper. It is the snap of cards against a dim café table, the slow turn of the Tower or the Lovers in candlelight, the way a well-worn deck holds the creases of a thousand past questions. The future, like a card, is always face down until someone dares to flip it.
