This came up on the BGG forum, and I think the rules are unclear on the timing here. The question is, does Lem use his "swap a card for a card in your discard" ability before, or after advancing the Blessings deck?
On the "Turn Over" on the reference sheet, it suggests that advancing the Blessings deck is part of your turn. To me, this would mean that if Lem is going to swap a card, it must be done before advancing the Blessings deck.
However, on page 9 it says "Before your turn, flip the top card from
the blessings deck faceup onto the top of the blessings discard pile." This suggests that advancing the Blessings deck is not actually part of your turn (although this paragraph is under the "Your Turn" heading on that page). That would mean Lem can advance the Blessings deck, see what's at the top, and then swap that blessing out of his discard into his hand, assuming he has the appropriate cards of course.
Which is correct?

The creator of the game answered this question in an earlier thread:
Advance the Blessings Deck says "Before your turn, flip the top card from the blessings deck faceup onto the top of the blessings discard pile." So Lem's turn has not yet begun until after the blessings deck has been advanced.
