    Deck Review: Divine Channels

    July 1, 2025 /

    The Divine Channels Tarot is raw, tender, and gloriously intuitive. Created by artist and arts psychotherapist Harley Hefford, the deck blends hand-painted collage, poetic fragments, and emotional honesty to reimagine Tarot for modern life. It feels alive, imperfect, playful, and deeply human - less about rigid systems, more about paying attention, feeling things, and making meaning where you stand.

    Deck Review: The Bon Sequitur Tarot Deck

    June 22, 2025 /

    If the Bon Sequitur Tarot were music, it’d be acid jazz: exuberant, clever, and unexpectedly profound. Beneath the colour and humour lies a deck shaped by loss, resilience, and reclaimed pleasure. It doesn’t pull its punches, but it does offer joy - the kind that knows sorrow intimately and chooses delight anyway.

    Tarot Card Meanings: The Chariot

    June 6, 2025 /

    The Chariot is the seventh card of the Major Arcana, representing willpower, victory, determination, and the challenge of keeping opposing forces in balance. In this post, I explore what the Chariot means in Tarot readings: its triumphs, its warnings, and its many fascinating depictions across different decks. Though it’s called the Chariot, this card isn’t really about the vehicle, it’s about the driver. The charioteer is the one who draws your eye, commanding your attention and immediately asking you to identify with him. And in my experience as a reader, querents love identifying with him. Honestly, I’d legit say he’s one of the most well-received cards in the deck. I…

    Deck Review: Wild Waters Edge Tarot

    June 2, 2025 /

    The Wild Waters Edge Tarot is a burst of pure, radiant joy - a fistful of sunshine rendered in watercolour. With its 70s flair, bold colours, and fairytale optimism, it invites play and wonder without slipping into fluff. This is a deck that reconnects you with your inner flower child, while still offering thoughtful symbolism and emotional resonance.

    May 23, 2025 /

    Despite its high price and imperfect finish, The Black Tarot has earned a place among my all-time greats. It’s one of those rare decks that genuinely makes you a better reader. If you care about symbolism, emotional depth, and Tarot as a tool for real insight rather than surface answers, this deck is 100% worth every penny.

    Deck Review: The Craft Felt Tarot

    May 16, 2025 /

    The Craft Felt Tarot is warm, joyful, and irresistibly tactile. Made from photographs of hand-crafted felt designs, the cards feel like a hug from a slightly psychic teddy bear. Bright, bold colours and rich textures bring familiar RWS imagery to life in a way that’s comforting rather than confronting. This is Tarot softened, without being dumbed down.

    May 8, 2025 /

    Beneath its beauty, the Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot is surprisingly sharp. Familiar archetypes are reimagined through marine life: anglerfish lanterns, siren songs, sunken treasure - creating metaphors that feel fresh yet deeply Tarot-literate. This is a deck that understands liminality, shadow, and desire, and isn’t afraid to let its waters run dark.

    Tarot Card Meanings: The Lovers

    April 25, 2025 /

    The Lovers is the sixth card of the Major Arcana, and it's often misunderstood. While it can represent romantic love, its deeper meaning is about choice, commitment, and soulful alignment. In this post, I explore the many layers of the Lovers Tarot card, from mythology and symbolism, to popular deck imagery and how we experience the energy of the Lovers card in our day to day lives. I found The Lovers card a bit tricky when I was first learning Tarot because it fools you into thinking it's easy. Ah, The Lovers! It’s all about love, right? True Lurrrrrvvveeee. But then when you read a bit about Tarot it turns…

    Deck Review: The Magic Pantry Tarot

    April 19, 2025 /

    Beneath its playful surface, The Magic Pantry Tarot is smartly symbolic. Eggs, broth, mushrooms, and coffee map onto Tarot archetypes in ways that feel intuitive once you see them, though sometimes delightfully abstruse at first glance. Best suited to readers already familiar with Tarot, it rewards experience with wit, insight, and a lot of satisfying “aha” moments.

    Deck Review: Far-Out Tarot

    April 14, 2025 /

    This is a deck you don’t just read, you visit it. The Far-Out Tarot creates a sense of permission: to pause, to retreat, to be thoughtful rather than decisive. It won me over completely, offering Tarot as care, imagination, and psychological shelter - a place I genuinely want to return to again and again.
