III The Fixer-Upper – Unfinished Biz Inside, Tarot Notebook

Major Arcana – Haunted Dollhouse Tarot Some houses have history. This one has unfinished business. You know what they say: location, location, apparition. The Fixer-Upper tarot card features a haunted dollhouse in mid-renovation—or is it just decaying on purpose? Cracked shingles, cursed blueprints, and an ominous stain that won’t scrub out no matter how hard you try. Ideal for folks who believe every haunted item deserves a second chance (and maybe an exorcist). Perfect for: • Paranormal renovators • Lovers of vintage decor with “character” (read: bloodstains) • Anyone who’s ever said “I can fix this” with dangerous optimism Add it to your deck or haunted shelf—but don’t try to renovate it. The house has plans. Tarot Card Meaning: Upright: Unresolved issues, spiritual renovations, cursed foundations. This card knocks softly at your soul’s splintered beams. Something deep down needs repair—and not just in the attic. There’s potential here, but also… a curse stapled behind the wallpaper. Reversed: Demolition energy, cutting cords, haunted home improvement. Time to tear down the rotting walls and reclaim the space. Just be sure you’re not evicting something ancient that signed a 500-year lease.

A delicate, broken dollhouse with charming gingerbread trim, loose wiring, and the faint smell of regret. Its roof caved in if you looked too hard. One window was always cracked—never the same one. Marcus, a craftsman with a passion for restoring miniatures, brought it home and began the repairs. First the front porch. Then the staircase. But every time he fixed something, something else broke. Then the voices started. They didn’t scream. They advised. Now, the house sits there. Half-done. Hammer still in place. Marcus? Last anyone saw, he was measuring his own walls… muttering about “scaling down.”
