Deck Review: Blood Moon Tarot

The Blood Moon Tarot is a lush, dreamlike deck where myth, forest, and shadow entwine. Sam Guay’s art feels like lore itself: like you've fallen into the middle of an…

    Tarot Card Meanings: The Hanged Man

    April 13, 2026 /

    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

    March 14, 2026 /

    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

    March 3, 2026 /

    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

    February 20, 2026 /

    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.

    February 9, 2026 /

    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

    January 20, 2026 /

    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

    January 4, 2026 /

    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.

    Deck Review: Bonestone & Earthflesh Tarot

    December 22, 2025 /

    The Bonestone & Earthflesh Tarot is my All-Time Mostest Favouritest deck: rich, myth-soaked, visually stunning, and utterly unforgettable. Created by illustrator Ana Tourian and writer Avalon Cameron, it’s a deck that leans hard into beauty and brutality, ecological grief and ecstatic joy, folklore and flesh. With the long-awaited mass-market Reawakening edition finally making this former indie unicorn accessible, it feels like the perfect moment to revisit what makes Bonestone so powerful and so enduring - and why I still return to it again and again.

    Deck Review: Zoomies Tarot

    December 7, 2025 /

    The Zoomies Tarot is whimsical, tender, and often surprisingly profound - very much in keeping with Amber Fossey’s trademark ability to make a “cute” drawing suddenly hit you in the feelings. With her background as an NHS doctor working in psychiatry, Fossey understands the messy grey areas of being human, and that compassion runs through the deck. Her creatures are a little strange, a little scruffy, sometimes falling apart… but always worthy of love.
