Black Cats Tarot
If you like cats and you’re happy for them to be anthropomorphised then there’s a good chance you’ll like the Black Cats Tarot. If like me, you really like black cats, then you’ll love it. This isn’t just a cutesy deck that should only be of interest to cat people though. Rather, it is a well-considered, accessible rendering of the tarot. It allows us to step outside of ourselves as we imagine how the cats pictured are likely to act and feel in the situations they find themselves in. For many this offers a much less confronting approach. We get to process the story as it applies to someone or…

The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit
The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit cards can be used in conjunction with the Wild Unknown Tarot or as a stand alone oracle deck. Kim Krans doesn’t stray from her usual detailed-ink-drawings-with-pops-of-colour style and yet even after creating three decks, each card is unique. If you like animal decks or either of the other two offerings in this series, then I’m confident you’ll appreciate this one. It encourages “an exploration of our inner contradictions, our complex natures, and the endless mystery of who we are.” The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit is a 63 card, elementally-based animal oracle deck (Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Ether). Earth, Air,…

The Everyday Enchantment Tarot
The Everyday Enchantment Tarot was designed with three main intentions. Firstly, to create a deck that a modern audience could find more accessible. Secondly, to connect people with the everyday magic available to us all but often overlooked. And thirdly, to highlight our interconnectedness and to promote inclusivity at all levels. Put simply, this deck aims to connect us with ourselves and the world around us and the extraordinary nature of both. It uses everyday relatable scenarios to do so. The Everyday Enchantment Tarot Deck The Everyday Enchantment Tarot encourages us to take a fresh look at how we view ourselves and others. Ideas for the ways and means to…

Tarot of the Sidhe
The Tarot of the Sidhe is a very present deck. It helps you to see and to connect with the source of your thoughts and emotions and to understand how you’re bringing them to light. Therefore, I find they are great to use when I’m looking for guidance on the best way forward in the present moment. Better than that though, aligning with the Sidhe aligns us with our deepest and truest aspects. Identifying with these parts of ourselves enables us to present and embrace that self in our everyday lives. For me this isn’t a deck to help you plan what you may need to do in the future.…

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…

The Green Witch Tarot
I have had this beautiful, gentle and nurturing deck for a while. Lately I’ve been drawn to work more closely with it. The Green Witch Tarot is one of the decks I recommend to people who embrace any form of nature-based practice who are looking to incorporate tarot. It is also one of my first suggestions for anyone seeking guidance that doesn’t want to be confronted with potentially triggering imagery. The older I get and the more I see and experience, the more important I find these types of decks. Decks that don’t dismiss difficult topics yet don’t feel the need to overwhelm you with dark and confronting imagery. Instead…

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…

Sacred Earth Oracle
The Sacred Earth Oracle encourages you to consciously connect to the wisdom of Mother Earth. It serves as a reminder that we are a part of the Earth and not separate from it despite what our modern day way of life may suggest. If we take the time to observe our surroundings, spending time in Nature can teach us so much about ourselves, our lives and the world around us. The natural world can show us how to live a more harmonious and connected life. This deck aims to facilitate the process. The Sacred Earth Oracle Deck The Sacred Earth Oracle is a collaborative effort between three creators, Toni Carmine…

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…

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…
