Tarot of Mystical Moments
I first saw the Tarot of Mystical Moments on a Minnow Pond Tarot’s YouTube video and then it seemed to pop up on a few things I was looking at so I decided to take a closer look. I have over fifty tarot decks so even though I see a lot of cards that appeal to me, I am focused on only adding decks to my collection that are different to anything else I own. This one fits the bill. Catrin Welz-Stein collages together old paintings, photographs and illustrations to create a distinctly feminine deck, that although based on the Rider Waite Smith system, offers some interesting points of difference.…

Ancestral Path Tarot
The Ancestral Path Tarot is a unique deck. It combines the “diverse beliefs of various cultures in order to find commonalities between them” so as to encourage us “to reclaim a personal spirituality that enables us to perceive the divine in ourselves and others.” This is such a beautiful approach to the tarot. Tarot helps us to fashion meaningful stories not only about ourselves, but also the human condition. The Ancestral Path Tarot encourages us to acknowledge that not only are we in charge of shaping our own path through what we choose to believe, do, or deny, we are also shaping paths for those that follow us. This is…

The Star Tarot (2nd Ed.)
It seems like every time I go to write a review I am always gushing about the deck. That is probably because I have done my research before buying each new set of tarot cards. If anything I have been pleasantly surprised by a deck. The Star Tarot is a perfect example. Like most of my decks I had looked at it for a while before I purchased it. I was worried it would be a bit too bright for my tastes, but it isn’t. In fact, I would say a couple of the cards in this deck are amongst my favourite in my collection. And, if I was to…

The Book of Shadows Tarot Volume 2 “So Below”
As the name suggests The Book of Shadows Tarot Volume 2 is one of two and no I don’t own volume one. That may seem strange but there is method in my madness. I have many decks that focus, as the first volume is said to, on the workings of the Universe, yet only a few that focus directly on everyday experiences. But, as the Little White Book suggests, that is where the magic is. Barbara Moore says: Magic … is working with universal energies to create change in the world and I agree. Personally, I would say that it is magical when we find ways to make changes in…

The Wild Unknown Tarot
I have many, many decks, but nothing like this one. If I had to classify The Wild Unknown Tarot, I would say it is a nature-based, contemporary deck. To be honest, I really didn’t think it was going to be for me but how wrong was I. I absolutely love this deck because I find it strikes to the core of the issue at hand. People don’t tend to choose it for readings and yet if I pull it out to go deeper into an issue, or I just show it to them after their reading, most become drawn to the images. As I keep flicking through in order to…

The Wildwood Tarot
I had moved The Wildwood Tarot in and out of my ‘shopping cart’ for months before I decided to purchase it on a whim. I’m glad I did. Although, straight up I will admit that, after looking at only a couple of cards, I reached for the scissors and removed the white border. If you read with reversals, trimming the deck may be problematic because retaining the card name means the backs are unbalanced. This is not an issue for me, but I thought I would put it out there. After I trimmed the cards, I was hooked. The more I looked, the more I saw. For example, when I…

Light Seers Tarot
The Light Seers Tarot is a popular deck for good reason. The strength of this deck is its ability to bring messages through in an accessible way that feels relevant to today. Even though it is a modern interpretation of the tarot, the messages still follow the Rider Waite interpretations fairly closely. For those approaching tarot for the first time, The Light Seers Tarot is a wonderful introduction. It easily connects you with the messages your subconscious is trying to share with you. I have quite an extensive collection of decks, but it is this one that drew my daughter in instantly. When I do readings, I offer my clients…

Forest of Enchantment Tarot
When I opened the Forest of Enchantment Tarot I was instantly enchanted. From my first flip through I felt at home. I just wanted to wander through the forest and learn from the characters and creatures. This deck is stunning. The artist, Meraylah Allwood, is truly amazing. Each original painting is said to be only slightly larger than the tarot cards themselves. When you consider the detail on each card this is incredible. Some decks become too busy when the paintings are reduced to card size but that isn’t the case with this one. I cannot speak highly enough of the artwork. The book opens with a quote from Joseph…

DruidCraft Tarot
The DruidCraft Tarot deck is one of my go to decks because I love the rich imagery. Each card invites you to enter the scene. The authors were inspired by the tales of the bards and this deck definitely invites you to tune into your own story-telling potentials. The DruidCraft Tarot Cards I love the DruidCraft Tarot. It pretty much lives on my desk in its wooden box. It shuffles easily now that I have trimmed the cards. But I also trimmed it because personally I prefer borderless decks. For comparison, the original deck measured just over 14cm x 9cm – with the borders trimmed it’s now approximately 12½ cm…
