Deck Review: Chaos Blossom Tarot
The Chaos Blossom Tarot has inspired probably the most ambivalent review I've written so far. As a deck it's occasionally brilliant, occasionally baffling, and haunted throughout by a faint sense of symbolic uncanny valley. Some cards genuinely stopped me in my tracks (that Judgement card! OMG! 😍), while others left me staring at random giant sword-hamsters asking “but… why though?” A deck full of beautiful imagery and some mythological near-misses.

Deck Review: Ever Ahead Tarot
A Tarot deck made of road signs, coffee cups, and loose change usually would not work for me… and yet, here we are! The Ever Ahead Tarot is a little treasure of a deck, and a fab travel companion - it takes the everyday and gives it just enough emotional weight to carry the whole RWS system - often very amusingly and with a surprising amount of heart.

Tarot Card Meanings: The Hanged Man
Welcome to my hanging circle! At the top of my Tarot journal page for the Hanged Man, I've scrawled 'loitering with intent', a phrase from Poppy Palin's Everyday Enchantment Tarot, and I love it as a description of what's happening in this card. Sometimes we need to wait, be still, to try to see things from every angle (even if involves flipping our whole worldview upsidedown), and to sit with our own discomfort. Sometimes it's only by surrendering to a situation, trusting the flow of events and ourselves, and accepting (often difficult or painful) realities, that we are able to truly learn, and eventually move forward with our lives.

Deck Review: The Yukika Tarot
The Yukika Tarot by Stasia Burrington is a deck of soft watercolours and deep currents. Beneath its cosy, storybook surface runs something stranger: bodies, seeds, mycelium, quiet transformations. This is a Tarot deck deeply interested in growth, tenderness, and the invisible processes that slowly change us.

Deck Review: The Endless Tarot
The Endless Tarot is less a deck you command and more a world you wander through. Drawn as a myriorama, its cards form a continuous panoramic landscape, rearranging themselves with every spread; a living, shifting story rather than a set of fixed meanings. Steeped in mythology, nostalgia, and that peculiar ache of anemoia, it positions you not at the centre of the action, but just slightly to one side of it. You are not the hero. You are the flâneur, the quiet witness, watching love, loss, celebration and fate unfold in twilight blues and starlit paths. Tarot here feels less like instruction and more like encountering a story already in…

Deck Review: Tarot of Oxalia
The Tarot of Oxalia is a lush, self-assured, unapologetically feminine reimagining of the RWS. It balances softness with sharpness and roots its symbolism in cycles of flow: love, loss, abundance, decay. It feels both timeless and distinctly of its moment: mythic, earthy, and defiant.

Deck Review: Discovering Beauty Tarot
The Discovering Beauty Tarot is a proper old-school Love-and-Light deck - but don’t be fooled. Beneath the warmth and colour is a fiercely feminist, politically awake Tarot that asks for presence, courage, and care.

Tarot Card Meanings: Justice
Welcome to my wheel(s) of justice! Hot on the heels of the Wheel of Fortune, Justice, the eleventh card in the Major Arcana, is another Tarot card concerned with karma, balance, and consequence. But where the Wheel asks us to recognise forces beyond our control, Justice turns the question back onto us. It asks us to think about the choices we've made, the ethics we live by, the power we have - and how we wield it. Life constantly asks us to decide, to weigh things up, to choose which path we want to take. And once we’ve made those choices, we don’t simply move on from them: they become…

Deck Review: Camena Tarot
Rooted in myth, art history, and watery intuition, the Camena Tarot is a deck that rewards slow looking and deep reading. From cat-eyed pomegranates and antlered High Priestesses to lactating Stars and Janus-lit Hermits, this is a Majors-only deck that treats Tarot not as a shortcut to answers, but as a threshold - one you have to cross carefully, attentively, and on your own time.

Currently On Kickstarter: The Liminal Tarot Deck
A quick & dirty love letter to The Liminal Tarot: an eerie, charcoal-drawn indie deck living in Tarot’s threshold spaces. With just over a day left on Kickstarter, this is a genuinely original deck for readers who like their symbolism strange, unsettled, and alive.
