Deck Review: The Felt Tarot
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
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.

Deck Review: The Sinagtala Tarot
The Sinagtala Tarot is a beautiful, ambitious deck that shines a light on Filipino folklore and myth through Augusto Ayo’s richly symbolic artwork. Each card feels like a doorway into a legend - but you’ll need the key of cultural context to step fully through. It’s a stunner to look at: dark, gilded, and full of haunting imagery that reimagines the Major Arcana through diwata, aswang, and babaylan. Still, the journey to get it was epic (hello, fifteen-month Kickstarter delay), and the lack of a basic guidebook makes it trickier for readers unfamiliar with the myths. When it lands, though, it lands hard: a deck of wild gods, changeling babies,…

Deck Review: The Erenberg Tarot
The Erenberg Tarot is a vibrant, vintage-poster-style homage to the Rider-Waite-Smith - bold, nostalgic, and full of character. Each card feels like a zoom-lens conversation with the originals: familiar yet freshly alive. Smart, striking, and steeped in outsider-art charm, it’s a deck that turns tradition into something joyously human again.

Deck Review: The Tempest Tarot Deck
Wind-lashed, water-streaked, and a little enchanted, The Tempest Tarot feels like stepping into deep water rather than sunlit shallows. Its palette is muted, its symbolism restrained, but its emotional range is vast. This is a deck that understands the sea as Tarot understands the psyche: a liminal space where danger and revelation coexist, and where anything is still possible.

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 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.
