Deck Review: Dark Daughter Tarot by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince

Discover the dark mysteries of the divine feminine in this rich Tarot featuring goddesses from around the world.

The Dark Daughter Tarot is a 78-card Tarot deck featuring powerful goddesses from world cultures, many of them lesser known, all of them representing various aspects of the “dark feminine.” This darkness is the mystery and power of the feminine spirit—from the inner knowing of hidden spaces to the fierceness of righteous rage.

A Dark Daughter is a child of the goddess—no matter their gender—who hears the call to dive deep into that mystery, and who yearns to dance with those primal powers. Featuring goddesses from Egypt, West Africa, Hungary, Sumer, China, India, Greece, the Caribbean, the Celtic regions, and more, The Dark Daughter Tarot delves into the myth and magic of female deities revered for thousands of years, ready to share their hidden knowledge.

Using the Rider-Waite-Smith structure as framework, The Dark Daughter Tarot also offers a few unique variants: Suits are named directly after the elements, the Hanged Man is redubbed Sacrifice, and court cards have been realigned as Beast, Warrior, Witch, and Hag. The bold, colorful artwork of Ellen Lorenzi-Prince provides rich visuals for readings, or for use on your altar. In the accompanying guidebook, discover the myth of each goddess, and the divinatory insight she offers.

Delve into The Dark Daughter Tarot, where the wisdom of the ancient goddesses awaits for all who are called to them.

Wednesday Spread: Dark Daughter Magic Spread, Dark Daughter Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. This week, we’re exploring a five-card spread from the Dark Daughter deck, a collection of goddesses from across the world. Each figure carries a story, a lesson, and a piece of advice - if we let the cards speak, they guide us on a journey of focus, courage, and choice.

Different Decks, Same Question: Dark Daughters, Tarot of the Divine and Tarot of the Thousand and One Nights

Three Folklore Decks, One Story

Tarot decks often use mythology and folklore, but they don’t all do it the same way. Some teach specific stories and figures, while others use familiar roles - ruler, hero, mother, trickster - to shape the meaning of the cards.

In this series we’ll compare three decks:

• Dark Daughter – a goddess-focused deck drawing figures from many cultures,

• Tarot of the Divine – retelling myths and fairytales from across the world,

• Tarot of the Thousand and One Nights – inspired by the storytelling world of the medieval Middle East.

The question isn’t which deck is “correct.” All follow the same tarot structure. The question is how each deck says the same thing differently.

As you read, notice which version you instinctively trust, resist, or feel comforted by. That reaction is part of the reading too.

Wednesday Spread: Hearth & Moon Spell Spread, Everyday Witch Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday spread. We're working with the Everyday Witch Tarot this week, and as the LWB only has one, three and Celtic Cross spreads, I've come up with a spread especially for the deck! This is the Hearth & Moon Spell Spread. Lay seven cards out; 1 in the centre, 2 above it, 3 and 4 down on the right, 5 and 6 up on the left, and 7 at the bottom. You should end up with a circle and one card inside. Instructions below, and my spread below that!

Different Decks, Same Question: Everyday Witch, Cosy Witch & Witches Tarot

If you’ve spent any time around tarot decks, you’ll notice one thing: they cluster around themes. Witches. Cats. Folklore. Crystals. Wild animals. Whatever aspect of life you can imagine, there’s probably a deck for it.

But even decks that share a theme can feel wildly different. The way a card is drawn, the atmosphere of the illustrations, the little details the artist chooses, they all shape how the deck “talks” to you.

In this post, we’re going to look at three witchy decks and how they handle the same four cards. This isn’t a contest for “which is better” or “more magical.” Instead, it’s a chance to see how each deck creates its own tone, voice, and approach to the same story.

By the end, you’ll see how the same Major or Minor Arcana can feel comforting, challenging, playful, or serious - depending entirely on the deck. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll notice what kind of conversation you want to have with your tarot cards.
