"Anyway, I don't believe in Caroc cards," he muttered. "All that stuff about it being the distilled wisdom of the universe is a load of rubbish."

The first card, smoke-yellowed and age-crinkled, was...

It should have been The Star. But instead of the familiar round disc with crude little rays, it had become a tiny red dot. The old woman muttered and scratched at the card with a fingernail, then looked sharply at Rincewind.

"Nothing to do with me," he said.

She turned up the Importance of Washing the Hands, the Eight of Octograms, the Dome of the Sky, the Pool of Night, the Four of Elephants, the Ace of Turtles, and - Rincewind had been expecting it - Death.
