Wednesday Spread: Interview Spread, Egyptian Tarot

Welcome to the Wednesday Spread! Today we are working with the Egyptian Tarot by Lo Scarabeo. As always, I did not create this spread!

Deck review: The Sugar Skull Tarot deck by David A Ross and Carolina Martinez

This light-hearted, beautifully illustrated deck and guidebook brings the spiritual mysticism of sugar skulls to a fresh interpretation of each of the major and minor arcana to help you hone your intuition.

Sugar skulls, or calaveras, are traditionally made by hand to celebrate the Mexican celebration of Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos. Colorful and lovingly crafted, they are offerings for loved ones who have passed into the spirit realm.

The sugar skulls depicted throughout this deck are there to remind us of our spiritual journey and help us reach our full potential. Just as the Fool progresses throughout the entirety of the Major Arcana, we all have our own personal journeys that are represented through the tarot.

Whether it’s the Magician shooting the sugar skull bullseye, the High Priestess seeing her reflection in the water (thus revealing her inner truth in the form of a sugar skull), or the Fool feeling confident that he will create and manifest the perfect sugar skull by the time he finishes his journey, we all have an unrealized version of our true potential. The Sugar Skull Tarot Deck and Guidebook offers a refreshing new take on a timeless tradition and is the perfect tool to recognize the inner potential inside each of us. Let the brightly colored illustrations offer you all the inspiration you need to be the best person you can truly be so you can present a more accurate representation of yourself—confident, magical, and ready to give and receive love—to the world.

Wednesday Spread: The Sugar Skull Spread

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! We're still working with the Sugar Skull tarot deck and, as you might be able to tell from the title, this spread was designed by the deck author to use with it. As always I'm doing this blind, one card at a time, so let's see what we come up with! I'm writing this with 'I' and 'me' but feel free to consider it in terms of your own life.

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Sugar Skull Tarot deck

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! This deck is one I've had for a while, but not used recently; when I reviewed it I was very early in my tarot journey, and I thought it would be interesting to go back to it and see how my impressions have changed with practise.

This is the Sugar Skull Tarot deck from Simon & Schuster. As always, I found this spread, I didn't invent it, but I'd love to hear from you if you did!

Deck Review: Mini Tarot

• Includes 78 full-color, gilt-edged cards featuring new interpretations of Pamela C. Smith’s iconic images

• The accompanying booklet presents a more intuitive interpretation approach by offering quick access to each card’s meaning through fundamental keywords

• Features a travel case with a magnetic closure that allows for easy handling and enhanced portability of this mini deck

Accessible to beginners and initiated alike, this new mini Tarot deck inspired by the style of the well-loved Rider Waite Smith Tarot offers a new interpretation of Pamela C. Smith’s iconic images by French illustrator Nicolas Galkowski.

Complemented by a 104-page booklet, the 78-card full-color deck features a novel approach to Tarot interpretation by offering the fundamental concepts of the cards in a way that combines tradition and intuition. Each card of both the Major and Minor Arcana is featured with three or four keywords and a few sentences that highlight the main aspects and meanings of the card. These brief yet evocative definitions, alongside original card spreads, enable you to arrive at an interpretation both personal and unique by allowing the space between the words to fill with your own inner knowing and insight into the issues and questions at hand. This accessible approach to the Tarot empowers you to dive deeper into personal development and open yourself to intuitive ways of perceiving and interpreting the world, as well as providing a path for engaging with other, more complex divination tools.

The smaller-sized, gilt-edged cards make for smooth handling while the sturdy case with magnetic closure will serve as an attractive ritual item on any altar as well as making this mini deck a perfect traveling companion.

You can see the unboxing on tiktok or youtube and the complete flickthrough is on youtube. I also did two spreads, the interview spread and a five card spread designed for the deck. You can watch the video review on tiktok or youtube.

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! This spread comes from the LWB for this deck, so hopefully it will give us some good insight. I'm interpreting this blind - writing up each card before turning the next - and not thinking of any particular situation, so we'll see what comes out!

Deck Review: The Stained Glass Tarot by James Edward

• Includes 78 full-color cards featuring colorful and detailed original adaptations of the tarot archetypes in stained-glass style

• The detailed guidebook provides thorough meanings for each card of both Major and Minor Arcana, for their upright and reversed appearances, as well as exploring each card’s esoteric symbolism

• Shares instructions on how to use the cards, explains a variety of card spreads, and offers a glimpse into tarot history and its connections to astrology, numerology, alchemy, the Western esoteric tradition, and the teachings of Carl Jung

Inspired by the intricate symbols and colors of the stained glass windows of cathedrals and other sacred places, this 78-card tarot set draws the reader into a meditative state as they contemplate the mystical symbolism and stunning artwork of the cards.

The accompanying guidebook provides thorough meanings for each card of both Major and Minor Arcana, and for their upright and reversed appearances, as well as evocative verses that invite the reader to explore each card’s esoteric symbolism.

For the 22 Major Arcana, the author explains how each card fits into the progressive soul’s journey from The Fool to The World. For the Minor Arcana, he explains the significance of each of the suits and their key attributes and influences. He describes a number of ways to interpret each card and how to decide which interpretation to favor. He also includes a variety of card spreads and offers a glimpse into tarot history and its connections to astrology, numerology, alchemy, the Western esoteric tradition, and the teachings of Carl Jung.

This illuminating tarot set provides not only a highly detailed manual but also mesmerizing images that draw the eye and calm and focus the mind for an authentic divinatory experience.

The Stained Glass Tarot is published by Inner Traditions. You can see the unboxing on TikTok or Youtube and the silent flickthrough on TikTok or Youtube. I also posted two spreads, the interview spread and a five card spread from the LWB. The deck releases on the 24th of November in the UK and is already on sale in the US.
