Deck Review: MindScapes Tarot
The MindScapes Tarot is a painterly, deeply introspective deck that invites you inward rather than outward. Born in lockdown and shaped by reflection, it uses dreamlike landscapes to evoke the emotional resonance of Tarot rather than literal scenes. This isn’t a deck of instruction or dogma, but of invitation - a visual language that helps you reconnect with parts of yourself words can’t quite reach.

Deck Review: The Spacious Tarot
The Spacious Tarot, as the name suggests, is a deck about space - not just physical landscapes, but emotional, psychic, and narrative space too. It replaces human figures with wide skies, open paths, and threshold moments at dawn and dusk. The effect is gently meditative rather than empty, celebrating the restorative power of intentional solitude. This is a deck that understands Tarot as process and becoming: always shifting, always open.

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!

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.

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.

Deck Review: Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot
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.

Deck Review: The Magic Pantry Tarot
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.
