I’ve had my eye on this deck since before its official release and was so excited to look through the cards. I am embarrassed to admit it’s been sitting in the cupboard for about six months now. Published back in May 2024, The Awakening Tarot is another creation of Monica Bodirsky. Monica has previously created: The Shadowland Tarot, Shadowland Lenormand, the House of Shadows Lenormand deck, Between The Worlds Oracle, and Bats Blood Ink Oracle.

I’m surprised I didn’t review this deck ages ago because I used it extensively for months when it arrived. The Light Seer’s Tarot was/is a popular tarot deck published by Hay House in December 2019. The artist Chris-Anne Donnelly has since created the Muse Tarot (2020), The Sacred Creator’s Oracle (2021), and the Tarot of Curious Creatures(2021). It comes in a small but study box, and includes a relatively decent guidebook.

Published by U.S Games in 2020, Tarot of Mystical Moments is the creation of Catrin Welz-Stein. The cards are on the large size, although they’re not unmanageable. They arrived in a small but sturdy box and come with a small guidebook. We have gilded edging, but this time in silver. However, thanks to the mass-market price tag

The Dark Mansion tarot was created in 2018 by illustrator Magdalena Kaczan and Krzysztof Wasiuk, founder of Taroteca Studios. An enormous amount of thought went into every inch of the finished product. Wasiuk states that he wanted to create something that was not only uniquely beautiful but useable and intuitive.

The Dreamkeepers Tarot is a lovely deck published in 2021. Liz Huston spent the best part of twelve years creating the images, and I like that she talks about this process at the beginning of the guidebook. Liz self-published the first edition in 2018, and US Games published this updated mass-market version in 2020.

This is the most expensive deck I’ve bought in a while, so I feel justified in being less than impressed with its shoddy box insert. Now that I’ve got that bit of info out of the way, I’ll get onto the praise. I absolutely LOVE this deck. Yes, it’s childlike. Yes, it borders on ostentatious with its, erm, blingy border. And yes, the liberal use of yellow appears almost garish

What is now a horrendously long time ago (pre-Covid), astro-twin Ashley sent me a fantastic deck as a gift. Considering we share the same Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and ascendant, I shouldn’t have been surprised that I loved the concept and design of the deck. One of the first impressions was how strongly I felt

My old regular deck isn’t working for me anymore, so I’m now on the hunt for a new one. The Oracle of Mystical Moments by Catrin Welz-Stein caught my eye, and I'm glad I now own it because I adore it. I came across her work years before the existence of the oracle; she’s a well-established artist whose work I love for being
