Is Tarot Evil? In Defence of the Cards
Tarot isn’t supernatural by default. It doesn’t demand belief, summon spirits, or replace faith. It works through metaphor, archetype, and conversation - much like art, poetry, or scripture. This post is a response to the lazy habit of branding unfamiliar spiritual practices as “evil,” and a defence of Tarot as a reflective, humane, and deeply misunderstood tool.

Deck Review: The Unveiled Tarot
This is Tarot as social commentary. The Unveiled Tarot tackles loneliness, alienation, war, capitalism, and domestic darkness with brutal honesty, reminding us that Tarot has always been a political medium. Lonergan’s imagery strips away mythic distance to show how archetypes live - and decay - in the modern world. It’s challenging, thought-provoking, and absolutely NOT neutral. And I love it!

Currently on Kickstarter: The Axiological Tarot
The other deck I’m backing currently is The Axiological Tarot by Silas Plum (the nom de guerre of artist David Zachary Witt). Plum makes weird art (in a good way!), and this is a weird deck, lol, and, once again, I’m struck by how well Tarot works as a medium for what artists want to explore. For example, Plum writes about how, at age 12, he won the East Coast POG tournament – and took home 500 identical cardboard discs as his prize. That moment sparked an obsession: what gives something value? Why do we care about objects that serve no purpose beyond sentiment or symbolism? Why does meaning cling…

Currently on Kickstarter: The Camena Tarot
Since writing this post I’ve received my copy of the deck, and you can find my full review here. ** I realise I’ve been a bit quiet on the Kickstarter front (tbh I’ve been feeling a but burnt by my experience with the Sinagtala Tarot, which I’m now convinced I’m never gonna get! [edit: I got it :-)] And was very disappointed by Wizards of the Coast being their standard cockwomble selves and blocking the successfully funded Balders Gate 3 Tarot which looked A-MAZING, and they were gonna donate all profits to MSF!) However, I have been continuing to back some little gems behind the scenes – and the vast…

Deck Review: Divine Channels
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
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
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
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.

Deck Review: The Black Tarot (By R. Black)
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
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.
