Tarot de Maria Celia (Deck Review)
I don’t usually take to Marseille-style decks, but I really fell in love with this little deck. Tarot de Maria Celia is a reinterpretation of the Marseille deck by Filipino artist Lynyrd-Jym Narciso, who previously created the Vanessa Tarot. Like the Vanessa Tarot, this deck is small (close to playing card size) and comes in… Continue reading Tarot de Maria Celia (Deck Review)
Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot (Deck Review)
I think this is currently my favorite RWS deck. People always tell you that you should start with the Rider Waite Smith Tarot, and there’s something to be said for learning the archetypal cards behind so many innovative new decks. It helps you read the new decks right out of the box. But the RWS… Continue reading Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot (Deck Review)
The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot (Deck Review)
I love the Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot Deck! It’s beautiful. It reads right out of the box for anyone who’s familiar with the Rider Waite system. It also comes with a little booklet that includes a full-color picture of each card and an introductory upright and reversed meaning. There are three sample spreads in the… Continue reading The Nightmare Before Christmas Tarot (Deck Review)
Tarot del Toro (Deck Review)
If you’re a fan of Guillermo del Toro as well as Tarot, you may like this deck. It illustrates the major arcana and court cards with images from del Toro’s films (or, in the case of The Magician, the man himself!). For example, The High Priestess is Nuala, the elf princess from Hellboy II. The… Continue reading Tarot del Toro (Deck Review)
Witchling Academy Tarot (Deck Review)
If you like Harry Potter or the magical girls anime genre, you’ll enjoy Witchling Academy Tarot. The book that comes with the deck is small but fun. It follows the adventures of Charlie, an apprentice at the Witchling Academy of Magic. The Major Arcana has a story about Charlie’s battle against Corrupt Magic, and it… Continue reading Witchling Academy Tarot (Deck Review)
Waking the Witch (Book Review)
Part memoir, part exploration of the witch archetype, Waking the Witch is not your typical witchcraft book, which is to say it won’t teach you how to do anything. That’s not what it’s trying to do, so it isn’t a failing of the book. Rather, it’s a series of long essays on how witches have… Continue reading Waking the Witch (Book Review)
Kitchen Table Tarot (Book Review)
I got my first tarot deck on New Year’s Day 1999. I don’t want to name the book that I bought to go with it, but it was boring and took itself Very Seriously. It insisted that I would need to be disciplined and that I’d have to study the tarot thoroughly and systematically like… Continue reading Kitchen Table Tarot (Book Review)
Dark Wood Tarot (Deck Review)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tarot book and deck as beautiful as the Dark Wood Tarot. The last few years, Llewellyn has been printing the companion books in full color but this is the first one I’ve opened that has full page illustrations of the art rather than reproductions of the cards. This… Continue reading Dark Wood Tarot (Deck Review)
ViceVersa Tarot (deck review)
The ViceVersa Tarot is unique in that the cards have no backs. Or, rather, instead of having an image that’s the same on the back of every card, each card has an image on its reverse side that is the reverse of the image on its face. In some cards the back looks like a… Continue reading ViceVersa Tarot (deck review)
Pagan Tarot, new edition (Deck Review)
The first edition of the Pagan Tarot by Gina M. Pace came out in 2005. I had that deck but didn’t have the book. This edition is from 2019 and is sold in a box set with a full-color book. The illustrations of the major arcana are larger than the cards themselves, which makes them… Continue reading Pagan Tarot, new edition (Deck Review)
