Please note that these books were sent to me at no charge for the purposes of review. SPARKPRESS http://www.gosparkpress.com As involved with tarot as I am, I am embarrassed to admit that I had never heard of the Arcana Oracles Series by Susan Wands. When I was contacted by SPARKPRESS about reviewing the newest volume […]
Author: Tania Ahsan Illustrator: Paula Zorite Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Ltd. Purchase links at the end of the review. One could easily argue that after Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, the most influential tarot deck collaborators are Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris. I have always been very grateful that the Thoth Tarot was Crowley’s […]

Writer/Artist: Tina GongWebsite: http://www.labyrinthos.co Recently, I reviewed another one of Tina Gong’s productions, her book Tarot: Connect with Yourself, Develop Your Intuition, Live Mindfully, of which I am a great admirer. Prior to the book, I had already purchased the Arcana Iris Sacra Tarot on a field trip from my Mississippi digs all the way […]
Artist/Writer: Tillie WaldenPublisher: Liminal 11/Sterling Ethos As always, I am a sucker for good packaging, and Liminal 11 does another fine job with Tillie Walden’s The Cosmic Slumber Tarot. Liminal 11 decks generally come in a very nicely made box with magnetic closures. The boxes protect the cards well and sit nicely on a shelf. […]
Publisher: Patrick Valenza at Deviant Moon Inc. Website: http://www.deviantmoon.com Ever since I first laid eyes on images of an Edoardo Dotti Tarot, I have wanted a deck of those cards. In that first exposure, on page 160 of Stuart Kaplan’s Encyclopedia of Tarot, volume 1, I fell in love at first sight. I don’t know […]
A review and comparison of the following three decks: The Oswald Wirth Tarot by U.S. Games The Golden Wirth Tarot Grand Trumps by Lo Scarabeo/Llewellyn The Symbolic Tarot of Wirth by Lo Scarabeo/Llewellyn I feel confident in that fact that I am not the only tarot enthusiast who ever said, “Oh, if only someone else […]
Creator and Writer: Rachel True Artist: Stephanie Singleton Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2020 Rachel True’s True Heart Intuitive Tarot has thrust me into an existential dilemma, a conflict of gross cultural proportion. We here in the Deep South value our politesse. Mississippi, for all its past flaws and indiscretions, is “The Hospitality State.” Throughout […]
Tattoo Tarot: Ink and Intuition Publisher: Laurence King Publishing Ltd. http://www.laurenceking.com Year: 2018 Artist: Megamunden Text: Diana McMahon Collis My son and I were wandering around a mall recently when we stumbled upon a Spencer’s Gifts. Oh, what a world of naughty teen wonders! My son is sixteen now, so it’s not as though I […]
Publisher: Lo Scarabeo Illustrator: Renata Lechner A review of the Millennium Thoth Tarot will be difficult for me, and I’m quite certain that the review will sadly fall on the more pedantic and comparative side. I hold a great respect, even reverence for the Crowley-Harris Thoth. The first book I was ever recommended on tarot […]
