The Chariot

The Chariot from the Herbcrafter’s Tarot We are now at the end of the first line in the Major Arcana- the Creation Line. The first seven cards (not counting the Fool) have been The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, and now the Chariot. All of these seven cards […]

The Lovers

The Lovers from the Crow Tarot Continuing the series of diving deeper into each individual tarot card, we are now at the Lovers. If you want to understand the tarot more in-depth, I recommend going back and starting with the Fool. This way you will understand what each card speaks to in a reading, but […]

The Mystical Dream Tarot Deck Review

The Fool / Innocent from the Mystical Dream Tarot Next in my series of deck reviews, I bring you the deck that (at least in my collection) transcends the “normal” perception of what a tarot deck is, or should include. In my opinion, this deck is one that you should get if you want to […]

The Hierophant

The Hierophant from The Wild Unknown Moving to card #5 in the Major Arcana, still within the Creation line, we have the Hierophant. As with all previous posts, I will focus on how I read this card, look at symbolism across the cards I own, speak on the light and the dark of the invitations, […]

The High Priestess

The High Priestess from The Mystical Dream Tarot The High Priestess is card #2 in the Major Arcana. Each card builds on the previous one, lily-padding in a way. The Magician invites you to open to the magick within and around you, creating conscious connections. Once that has been achieved, the High Priestess asks you […]

How to Work with the Three Rows of the Major Acana

I have been mentioning for a while now that I was going to make a blog post devoted to the three rows of the Major Arcana and how to work with them. Well here it is! The Majors are cosmic, liminal, ethereal, and universal archetypes. This can make them hard to read at times, because […]

The Fool

The Fool from the Ostara Tarot To get a good understanding of the Tarot, and how to read each card, I think it is most important to start at the beginning. Not the beginning as in the history of the tarot, although I will be devoting a blog post to that as well, but the […]

Ostara Tarot Deck Review

The Fool by Julia Iredale After the The Wild Unknown, one of my oldest and most used decks is the Ostara Tarot. If memory serves, this was my second or third deck that I ever purchased for myself, and I still use and love it, years later. Some brief information about this deck: It was […]
