Journey of the Sacred Bee Tarot
If you’re looking for a deck to help keep you on track and moving forward in your own truth then Journey of the Sacred Bee Tarot could be the deck you have been looking for. This deck and the the matching oracle, Wisdom of the Sacred Bee, are independently published by Kelly Burton from Sacred Soul Productions, but fortunately they were published this year (2021), so they’re easy to source. I was excited as soon as I discovered the existence of Journey of the Sacred Bee Tarot because I’ve had a strong affinity with bees for a long time now and no, not just because of their association with my…

The Sacred Creators Oracle
I’m surprised it took me this long to come to this deck. As a creative who loves words it’s a perfect match. Fortunately I discovered it by chance on You Tube but to be honest, initially it was the accompanying book that caught my attention. I didn’t realise when I bought The Sacred Creators Oracle for myself that the book I saw only came with the Kickstarter version. So, I was a tad disappointed. After an unsuccessful search online I returned to my deck and discovered I shouldn’t have been so impatient. If I’d just pulled my cards out of the box before I reacted, I would have discovered the…

Oriens Animal Tarot
This animal themed deck is completely different to any of the others I own – and I own a few. Without including oracle decks seven come to mind, (Animals Divine Tarot, Animal Totem Tarot, Animal Wisdom Tarot, Ark Animal Tarot, Black Cats Tarot, Crow Tarot and Spiritsong Tarot). Largely because the animals are presented in celestial settings, the Oriens Animal Tarot is much darker in colouring for one. I’ve heard some people say the combination makes the animals hard to see. I don’t find that to be the case. Rather, unless inappropriate for the card’s message, I find the animals pop clearly and with good lighting they really come to…

The Intuitive Night Goddess Tarot
As soon as I saw the hands on the inside of The Intuitive Night Goddess Tarot box I felt connected. That might sound strange but a) I have a thing about hands and b) when I looked at the box as pictured below, I thought yes the power of the Universe is in our hands. This is not the first thing that usually comes to mind when I’m looking through my tarot decks but I think it should be now. Most decks have a sales pitch of sorts on the back of the packaging. On this box there’s no card images. Instead it feels as if it’s all about the…

Runic Tarot
As the name suggests, the Runic Tarot combines runes with tarot. Whilst it’s true that many decks incorporate runes, (Haindl Tarot, Pearls of Wisdom, and Light Seers Tarot to name just a few), the Runic Tarot is different in that it incorporates various rune systems. Thus the runes are a focal part of the cards. I pre-ordered this deck because I’ve wanted to increase my knowledge about runes for a while and this seemed a great way to do so. Now that it’s arrived, I look forward to letting the learning begin. The Runic Tarot Deck These cards are very dark in colouring and so at first they didn’t draw…

Animal Kin Oracle
From the moment I saw the Animal Kin Oracle deck I was drawn into its beautiful imagery. It feels peaceful and soothing which encourages you to tap into your intuition with confidence. Animals don’t overthink things, and when working intuitively neither should we. I would say that just as the creator envisioned, this collection of watercolour animal portraits can help reconnect people with the natural world. Today I worked with this deck alongside the Guardian Tarot and I can honestly say together they have changed my focus. The Animal Kin Oracle Deck This is a well-produced, 65 card, oracle deck that is perfect for anyone drawn to animal-themed cards. It…

Guardian Tarot
This deck, wow, I don’t know where, or how, to begin. I first saw the Guardian Tarot on You Tube and I thought hmmm creepy. But, I couldn’t stop looking at it. I found it hauntingly beautiful yet I couldn’t imagine how I could work with it. Yet, try as I might, I couldn’t turn away. So, before long it ended up doing the shopping cart dance – I put it in, I took it out, I put it in, I took it out, then finally I put it in and clicked place order. And that brings me back to wow. The Guardian Tarot speaks to me in a way…

Angels and Ancestors Oracle
The Angels and Ancestors Oracle packaging claims that it incorporates Celtic, Native American, Aboriginal and Earth-based Spiritualities in an attempt to cross any divide between cultures. However, I believe aligning with the message you discover inside the box once the cards are removed, which reads: I set the intention that whatever is gained from the lessons learned from this tool will be dedicated to the growth of all beings in all places is a positive way forward that can connect everyone. I am really drawn to ancestral work of late. Currently, I am slowly working my way through Ancestral Tarot by Nancy Hendrickson. If you’re interested in doing the same,…

The Universe Has Your Back
The Universe Has Your Back is a 52 card message deck designed to help you open up to the power of the Universe. Since I’m a lettering geek and I love words The Universe Has Your Back seemed like a perfect match for me. But as my main focus is tarot they have sat around for a while. To be honest at first I found them a bit syrupy, and potentially a little disempowering. However, recently I pulled them out to accompany a reading and found they added a depth to my interpretation. This helped me to connect with them and to understand them more. When I considered the tarot…

Morgan Greer Tarot
You may wonder why it took me so long to get around to reviewing a deck originally published in 1979 but here’s the thing, I didn’t own it until recently. The Morgan Greer Tarot is one of the latest additions to my collection. I figured any deck that has been popular enough to be constantly in print for more than 40 years was worthy of attention and I believe I’m right. I looked at the first three cards, The Fool, The Magician and The High Priestess and I was sold. Besides, since not everyone is drawn to the Rider Waite, an alternative deck suitable for people new to tarot is…
