The Muse Tarot
As it’s name suggests The Muse Tarot aims to connect you with your Muse in order to spark and inspire creativity. It’s also a reminder that creative endeavours open up this connection. Above all it’s a bright, colourful, eclectic deck that speaks on many different levels. Even though I love The Light Seers Tarot by the same creator, I wasn’t overly drawn to The Muse Tarot when I first saw it online. But, something made me buy it anyway and I haven’t looked back. I like it so much more than I expected. In fact it drew me into its world on my very first flick through. For some reason…

Wisdom of the Sacred Bee Oracle
The Wisdom of the Sacred Bee Oracle is the oracle deck that aligns with the Journey of the Sacred Bee Tarot and I feel they really do complement each other. And as with the tarot deck, a portion of each sale goes to The Bee Conservancy organisation. The creator, Kelly Burton, invites you to “Dive into a journey through the elements of fire, water, air, earth, and aether (Spirit) with the bees as your Spirit guides.” It’s a colourful trip. The Wisdom of the Sacred Bee Oracle Deck The Wisdom of the Sacred Bee Oracle is a colourful collage deck that utilises elemental energies to share its messages. As someone…

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 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…

Crow Tarot
The Crow Tarot infuses art designed to pay homage to crows and ravens with familiar Rider Waite meanings. The aim was to create a tool that aids and encourages self discovery and I believe this deck succeeds in this. Since people don’t feature directly on the cards you can really focus on the scene and what’s happening rather than getting caught up in who you’re looking at. The Crow Tarot Deck These digitally collaged cards use crows to tell their story so I wasn’t surprised to learn that they’ve developed a significant following among crow-lovers. The images association with the Rider Waite deck is readily apparent. Yet the presence of…

The Wild Unknown Archetypes
To be honest I really don’t know where to begin with these cards because they are so different to anything else I have worked with. What I can say is that I have experienced some profound personal revelations whilst working with these cards. They strike deep into the essence of what is known and yet often hidden which is incredibly powerful. The information I uncovered when using The Wild Unknown Archetypes felt like I had always known it yet never given it the attention it needed and deserved. If pushed I would say this is an all encompassing deck that is beyond simple definition. The Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck As…

Golden Tarot
The Golden Tarot uses digital collages of artwork from the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance period. Looking through this deck is like walking through an art gallery – a pleasure for some, me included, not so much for others. Kat Black, the deck’s creator, wanted “to widen the audience for artwork of an under-rated and little known art period,” 1200 – 1500 AD. She chose not to use any commonly recognisable works in order to showcase pieces people may well not be familiar with. In other words, there’s no Botticelli, da Vinci or Michelangelo. Although, for me, as I flick through the cards there is something familiar about them.…

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.…
