    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.

    Deck Review: Discovering Beauty Tarot

    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.

    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.

    Deck Review: The Cracked Amethyst Tarot

    November 27, 2025 /

    The Cracked Amethyst Tarot feels like both a culmination and a homecoming - a decade of Jessica Bott’s artistic growth distilled into a deck that’s gentle, thoughtful, and quietly wise. Each card hums with intention: landscapes alive with light, natural textures, and a kind of calm that feels both grounded and expansive. Bott’s reimagining of her long-out-of-print Idiosyncradeck is no nostalgia project; it’s a transformation. Like the oyster-Magician at its heart, this is grit turned into grace, art honed into alchemy.

    Deck Review: The Cards Drawn Tarot

    October 27, 2025 /

    The Cards Drawn Tarot feels like the kind of deck you’d read with in a smoky medieval tavern: clever, cheeky, and just a little bit dangerous. Clint Woods’ design fuses Tarot and playing card archetypes into a winking, whip-smart system that reads like a bard spinning truths by firelight: trickster energy with real insight beneath the jester’s grin. Buddhist philosophy meets card-table mischief, and somehow it works :-).

    Deck Review: The Felt Tarot

    October 20, 2025 /

    Jamie Sawyer’s Felt Tarot is stitched with symbolism, warmth, and wit. Every card began as a hand-cut felt collage before becoming a tactile, readable deck. Comforting yet clever, it’s beginner-friendly, artist-inspired, and even tattoo-worthy - a deck full of detail you’ll never tire of exploring.

    Deck Review: A Grieving Tarot

    October 13, 2025 /

    At first glance, A Grieving Tarot looked too simple for me. But within minutes I realised this was something rare: a stark, tender deck that captures the hollow textures of loss with devastating clarity. Not a manual for healing, but a companion in the wilderness of grief.
