The Princess Bride Tarot Deck: First impressions

A tarot deck based on the beloved 80s fantasy film? Inconceivable! (Ok, I had to make the joke once, it's in the rules.)  Advertised as having high quality illustrations, I'm interested to see how the characters have been matched to cards and how good the illustrations are.

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.
