Wednesday Spread: The Ball, Dog Tarot

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! This is the Ball spread, found in the LWB for the Dog Tarot deck. As always, I'm doing this blind - turning only one card at a time, so sometimes the patterns take a while to become clear.

Wednesday Spread: Interview Spread, Dog Tarot

One of my earliest decks was the Cat Tarot, by Megan Lynn Kott from Chronicle Books. It mixed cats with the RWS in a very realistic way. This year, Megan released Dog Tarot, placing our favourite canine companions into the cards in a friendly way. Today I'm doing an interview spread to see how the deck and I will get along.

Wednesday Spread: Perspective Spread, The Westwood Tarot

Welcome to the Wednesday spread, everyone! This spread comes from the LWB for the Westwood Tarot deck; it's nine cards, making it definitely one of the more complicated spreads I've tried! As always, I didn't have any particular situation in mind when I dealt the cards, and I turn over one card at a time, so I can't see the overall shape of the spread until the end.

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, The Westwood Tarot

 Happy Wednesday, all! Today we're interviewing a new deck, the Westwood Tarot from REDFeather. This deck is heavily fantasy based so I'm intrigued to see what will turn up! As always, I didn't invent this spread. 

Deck review: The Light Seer's Tarot by Chris-Anne

This 78-card tarot deck is a healing tool and guide to explore both the light and shadow sides of our nature.

By reimagining the traditional tarot archetypes and symbols in a contemporary, boho, and intuitive style, The Light Seer's Tarot expresses the light and shadow sides of our natures and explores the lessons that can be learned from both.

The expressive characters who live within the landscapes of the cards tell stories, ask questions, and provide guidance. This deck is an ideal companion as you seek to uncover the places in your life-and in yourself-that are most in need of illumination.

You can see the unboxing on TikTok or youtube and the silent flickthrough on TikTok or youtube. I posted the interview spread and Inner Harmony spread, and I reviewed the indepth guide book, Tarot for Light Seers, which I highly recommend!

Wednesday spread: Inner Harmony spread, Light Seer's Tarot

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! This week we're trying out one of the Major Arcana spreads from the Tarot for Light Seers book, as that's the deck I'm working with this week. This spread is associated with the Temperance card!

Book review: Tarot for Light Seers by Chris-Anne

Discover the meanings and symbolism of the tarot and travel the sunshine and shadow path of the Light Seer.

Tarot for Light Seers is filled with interpretations, keywords, prompts and spreads to help you decipher deeper meaning when reading tarot.

Expanding on the guidebook in The Light Seer's Tarot, this book takes a deep dive into the symbolism woven through the illustrations on each card and highlights the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith imagery that inspired the contemporary artwork. You will find a breakdown of the symbolism of each card alongside the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith card art for comparison.

Explore this collection of dreams, archetypes and stories as you walk the path of darkness and sunshine and channel the messages of the Light Seer. The relatable, contemporary characters help you to intuitively translate the card messages, and as you connect with their magic, they will become trusted guides bringing you closer to your inner landscapes and knowing.

Wednesday spread: Interview spread, Light Seer's Tarot (mini)

 Happy Wednesday, all! This week we're interviewing the Light Seer's Tarot from Hay House; I'm using the mini version but it's exactly the same as the standard. As with the Sugar Skull a few weeks ago, this is a deck I've had for a while but decided to pick back up because I've been given the wonderful book!

As always, I didn't invent this spread, if you did I'd love to hear from you! (And I know how this read looks, but I promise I shuffle in between picking each card!)
