Everyday Witch Tarot
I really enjoy working with the Everyday Witch Tarot for many reasons. It reminds me, in part, of the initial Harry Potter books/films – lighter in tone yet still having important messages to deliver. This deck is the same in several ways. At first glance it may appear to be just a light and playful deck, and that it is, but it’s also much more than that. It’s an easy to read and approachable deck that helps you get to the heart of the matter in a non-threatening way. And, as alluded to in the opening, it’s a great story telling deck. That, for me, is important. More importantly though,…

The Ink Witch Tarot
The Ink Witch Tarot is an eclectic deck that draws inspiration from the Rider Waite Smith tarot, Greek, Egyptian and Norse Mythology, Arthurian legends, European folk stories and fairy tales, and the magic to be found in every day life and experiences. It combines all of these ideas, yet it feels like a coherent, well thought out, modern deck that manages to add new viewpoints and ideas whilst still honouring tarot traditions. The Ink Witch Tarot Deck I love the ink and watercolour artwork and the clever use of warm and cool grey tones. For a long time this has been one of my favourite colour palettes. It definitely contributed…

The Sasuraibito Tarot
The Sasuraibito Tarot is a contemporary deck that stands out for all the right reasons. It’s not different just for the sake of being different. It’s a powerful healing deck that encourages you to let go of anything that you hold on to purely for appearances. The message that shines through when I work with this deck The Sasuraibito Tarot is to seek who you are not who you, or others, think you should be. The Sasuraibito Tarot Deck Stasia Burrington, the deck’s creator, says this deck was inspired by the Rider Waite Smith system, contemporary living, and Japanese and Buddhist ideas. These influences are present in the artwork and…

Sun and Moon Tarot
The Sun and Moon Tarot is a Thoth inspired deck that seamlessly incorporates aspects of Judaic mysticism, Jungian archetypes, astrology and mythology. By intertwining ancient cultural symbolism from several systems with contemporary artwork, this deck is bound to appeal to those seeking cards with a modern feel that don’t stray too far from traditional tarot. The Sun and Moon Tarot Deck I wasn’t sure how I’d find the faceless people on these cards. But, as crazy as it might seem, I find them full of expression. Maybe it’s because, rather than seeing somebody else’s interpretation, I can see the facial expressions that I feel fit with the setting and what…

Radiant Wisdom Tarot
The Radiant Wisdom Tarot was my first foray into indie decks and it holds a special place in my heart because my children bought it for me. In the “About the Author” section it says ‘She enjoys transforming the mysterious into the obvious and Tarot is one of her favourite tools for doing this.’ Therefore it came as no surprise to me that I was drawn to this deck. We share the same intention and the Radiant Wisdom Tarot serves this purpose well. It’s a clear and uplifting deck that presents simple, accessible imagery that feels user-friendly and non-threatening without compromising the power or scope of the messages available. The…

The Wandering Moon Tarot
I first saw this minimalistic black and white deck whilst watching Scorched Earth Tarot on YouTube. Having seen only a few cards, I paused the video and went in search of it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was an Indie deck designed by an Australian and shipped from Australia. Often times, living in Australia means the shipping on Indie decks is nearly as much, if not more in some cases, as the deck itself. Not in the case of The Wandering Moon Tarot. Yay!!! The Wandering Moon Tarot Deck This original deck is designed to be read intuitively. The creator wants you to position yourself in the card.…

Healing Light Tarot
The Healing Light Tarot is a striking deck that aims to facilitate healing and a sense of wholeness. It draws its inspiration from the Ancient Celtic belief that the veil between worlds is thinnest at dusk and dawn. I have been aware of this deck for a while but it is a very recent addition to my shelves. The Healing Light Tarot Deck The imagery on these cards is like nothing else in my collection. They’re dramatic and bold without being brash and I feel they capture the essence of the liminal space that inspired them well. It’s difficult to contain them and to be honest I wonder why I’d…

Bonefire Tarot
Yesterday as I sat at the beach watching the waves rolling in and contemplating my future direction and goals, “Bonefire” kept popping into my head. Today it did the same. I had no idea why but I listened. So, despite the fact I had a new deck arrive today, I listened to the call and grabbed my Bonefire Tarot off the shelf. Within minutes of opening the book I understood why. More on that later. For now, if you’re not sure if tarot is for you, or if you’re looking for a tool to help you on your own unique spiritual path, then the Bonefire Tarot could well offer you…

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…
