Deck review: Velouria's Tarot by Samantha Rook

This sweet deck takes a look at what we perceive femininity to be, especially in tarot, and challenges it. It's cheerful and soft artwork encourage readers to find the bright side in the worst circumstances. Feminine energy can be strong and powerful yet vulnerable and emotional, and Velouria's Tarot takes the traditional gender binary in tarot and encourages the reader to take a new perspective on what 'feminine energy' means.

The artist created the deck during a difficult pregnancy and the global pandemic and the artwork reflects her journey of holding on to joy and hope, even during the most difficult of times. Velouria's Tarot's goal is to encourage every reader to use the tarot as a tool of self-improvement, spiritual exploration, through the lens of finding the silver lining in every situation.

Velouria's Tarot is published by Rockpool Publishing and is available now. You can see the unboxing and flickthrough videos on tiktok.

Deck review: Cosmic C*nt Tarot by Samatha West

Full of alien probes, ray guns, test tubes and UFOs, this deck follows the traditional 78-card structure, with some small, mischievous changes. The suits have been swapped out to include ray guns, specimens, disks and probes.

In case it's not abundantly obvious, this deck is not for the faint of heart. If you clutch your pearls at the sight of aliens wielding phallic probes, this may not be the deck for you. However, if you possess a cosmic c*nt (one capable of abducting farmers from their land) and love all things ray gun and UFO, this deck will help you embrace your power and delve into your own psyche.

The Cosmic C*nt Tarot is available from Rockpool Publishing. You can see the unboxing and flickthrough videos on Tiktok.

Please be aware that this deck is quite naughty in a funny way, and some people may find it offensive. This is your only warning.
