THE JOLANDA WITCH TAROT is a deck and book set that blends tarot, magic, shamanism, and indigenous storytelling.

The 78-card deck portrays both Major and Minor Arcana through colorful depictions of female archetypes, animal guides, and esoteric symbolism from witchcraft, alchemy, and shamanic healing traditions.

In the comprehensive 400-page guidebook, Rosie Björkman, also known as “Jolanda the Witch,” shares unique in-depth card interpretations that draw on spiritual and magical teachings from indigenous healers, shamans, witches, magicians, and wisdom teachers from all over the world, including Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and the Sweet Medicine healing tradition of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society. You’ll find direct and reversed meanings for each card, easy-to-remember keywords, short practical exercises, and symbolic and healing stories to help you understand the insight each card brings. Illustrated by internationally known artist Hans Arnold, the playful imagery allows you to instantly grasp the energetic meaning of the cards drawn and intuitively understand the issue at hand.

Offering a hands-on way to learn card divination and magic together, this set includes new and unusual card spreads for readings that will awaken your own inner wisdom.

The Jolanda Witch Tarot publishes on the 15th of August, 2024. You can see the unboxing and flickthrough videos on TikTok; I also did two practise spreads, a deck interview and a spread designed for this deck, the Bear spread.

Wednesday Spread: Jolanda Witch Tarot, the Bear Spread

Welcome to the Wednesday spread! I'm still working with the Jolanda Witch tarot, so today we're trying a spread designed for this deck, the Bear spread. This spread is designed to show us what we need to know right now. (And wow, this got personal!)

Be aware that one of these cards features non-sexual nudity.

Wednesday Spread: Jolanda Witch Tarot interview spread

Welcome to the Wednesday Spread! We're doing the Deck Interview spread on my current deck, the Jolanda Witch Tarot. I found this spread on a blog called Little Red Tarot; the author of the blog didn't know who'd created it.

Deck review: Tarot for You and Me by Gary D'Andre and Jess Vossetteig

Celebrate the strength of traditional tarot with this joyful, inclusive, and vibrant tarot deck and guidebook perfect for spiritual readers, inspiration-seekers, and modern mystics.

Created by and for people of the LGBTQ+ community who want to see their experiences, bodies, and lifestyles in tarot, Tarot for You and Me offers the queer, genderqueer, and non-binary audience and their allies a tarot deck that is as inclusive and emboldened as it is fun and full of joy. The deck is designed to infuse your life with greater awareness and higher insight, allowing you to manifest visible, truth-based happiness.

Tarot for You and Me follows the tenets of the traditional tarot, but reimagines the core elements to replace gendered, heteronormative language with inclusivity and reimagine the symbols that represent modern ideals. In the deck, cards of the Major Arcana that are historically gendered or use language rooted in imperialism are reimagined for today’s audience. Here the Magician becomes the Brujx, the Hanged Man becomes the Hanged One, and more. And further, the Minor Arcana suits of wands, cups, swords, and pentacles become lanterns, chalices, flags, and plants, respectively.

Pairing an updated vision of an inclusive tarot with joyful, dynamic art, you will truly see yourself—your life, your body, your vocabulary, your experiences—reflected in the cards and the future you can create from it.

You can see the unboxing and flickthough videos on Tiktok. I have posted two spreads using this deck, a deck interview spread and a full moon spread.

Wednesday Spread: Tarot for You and Me

Tarot for You and Me is designed as a welcoming, inclusive deck, which makes it great for group readings!
