The Joan Charles Tarot

Posted by: TheReviewer on: December 29, 2012

Although it is called the Joan Charles Tarot, this beautiful deck is actually painted by art student Berangere Toulet.

The Joan Charles […]

The Gilded Reverie Lenormand

Posted by: TheReviewer on: December 28, 2012

I’ve tried very hard to get into the Lenormand craze that has taken over the Tarot world in 2012 (and is set to do so into 2013), but I found it very difficult. For starters, I’m an aesthetic girl: I like things that look exceptionally pretty, I enjoy sumptuous images filled with detail and bold […]

The Crystal Visions Tarot

Posted by: TheReviewer on: April 20, 2012

When I first picked up this deck I assumed, given the title, that it would be a deck heavily involved with crystals and their properties. Not being a lover of such things, I wasn’t anticipating this deck. However, the title merely denotes the gift of clarity of sight that the artist, Jennifer Galasso, wishes upon […]

The Cat’s Eye Tarot

Posted by: TheReviewer on: April 8, 2012

I’m a “cat person”. Although I only share my life with one feline companion (Erzulie, a beautiful black 5 year old moggy that came to me as a stray aged 4 weeks, who I hand fed for the first week and saw back to health) I’m definitely a “cat person”. I talk to other people […]

The Mary-El Tarot

Posted by: TheReviewer on: March 29, 2012

I’ve waited ten years to hold this beautiful creature of art and mystery in my hands. Ten long years in the making, and here it is at last… and it takes my breath away. It heats up my blood and sends it coursing through me, making the warmth rise in my cheeks and spread down, […]
