Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Supernatural Tiny Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Welcome to the Wednesday Spread. Today we're doing the interview spread with the Supernatural Tiny Tarot from Titan/Insight Editions. I have worked with the full size version, but not very seriously for quite a while; I wasn't even doing interview spreads back then! So this is going to be really interesting, I think.

Supernatural Tiny Tarot: Overview

Based on the long running TV series, with a narrow palette and mixed Minors, one of the only decks I've seen with that feature. This is going to be a fun deck to explore!

Supernatural Tiny Tarot: First Impressions

I know that as a group tarot readers are divided over fandom decks, but I've always enjoyed them. The larger Supernatural deck was one of my first ones, when I was much less skilled than I am now, and I'm looking forward to seeing how my experience of it changes as I work with the mini version.

First Impressions

The narrow palette is attention grabbing and so far I've recognised the characters, which is a great sign.

I’m curious about a few things as I dive in:

• Will the mini feel different than the regular size? 

• I haven't seen the show in a few years, will that affect anything?

• How will the physical size affect things?

First Draw

Three of Goblets. The deck wants to be friends! This feels like a good omen as I start my exploration of this deck.

---

Closing Thoughts

One card in, seventy-seven to go - and I’m already intrigued. The Supernatural Tiny Tarot feels like a deck for action and adventure. I’m excited to explore this fandom driven deck and see if I can pick up some interesting new stories.

I’ll be back soon with more impressions - and likely a few surprises along the way.

Deck review: Ukrainian Tarot

Discover the Tarot through the enchanting folklore, myth, and culture of Ukraine with this stunning deck and guidebook!

The Ukrainian Tarot was born from a deep reverence for Slavic spiritual heritage, a treasury of ancient wisdom waiting to be explored. The 78 cards feature images from Ukrainian legends, ceremonies, rituals, goddesses, and gods, ready to inspire and uplift. Within the guidebook, find approachable card meanings, and the Ukrainian story and symbolism behind each image.

The theme of the deck is based on the legendary Flower of the Magic Fern. This magic flower is said to bloom only once a year, on the shortest night of the year, bringing good fortune to whoever finds it. As the legend goes, this flower can be found only in the darkest of forests, and only if your heart and intentions are pure.

Just as the Magic Fern shines during times of darkness, The Ukrainian Tarot was created not just to celebrate and preserve Ukrainian traditions but also to serve as a guiding light for humanity. Its intention is to inspire readers to expand in love and peace, welcoming illumination to their hearts and minds as they journey through the cards.

You can see the complete flickthrough on tiktok or youtube. I posted two spreads using the deck, the interview spread and the hearth and path spread.

Wednesday Spread: Ukrainian Tarot, Hearth and Path

This week, I pulled a five-card spread with the Ukrainian Tarot, exploring themes of vitality, resilience, destiny, reflection, and celebration. Each card is rooted in folklore, history, and the natural world, creating a narrative that moves from the spark of life to the joy of shared community.

---

1. The Seed 🌱 — 6 of Fire (Viburnum Berries) 🔥

What is beginning in your life right now?

Clusters of bright red berries hang close in the foreground, spilling into the blurred forest behind. These are viburnum berries, symbols of life, blood, and immortality. Folklore tells of a murdered lover whose tree grows from her grave, and a flute carved from the wood calls out her killer. Life, death, and memory intertwine here - a reminder that actions and intentions carry forward beyond the immediate.

The 6 of Fire as The Seed reminds us that beginnings are full of potential, resonance, and the courage to step into unknown but fertile ground.

---

2. The Root 🌾 — Tower (Khotyn Fortress) 🏰

What gives you strength, stability, or grounding?

A formidable fortress rises along a river, scarred by centuries of siege and attack. Khotyn has fallen and been rebuilt countless times, yet it still stands - a testament to resilience and endurance. Unlike some Towers that emphasise sudden collapse, this one whispers: sometimes things fall despite all your efforts, and that’s not your fault. Survival and the ability to rebuild are true marks of strength.

As The Root, Khotyn anchors the reading: your strength lies not only in what you build, but in your capacity to endure and rebuild when life tests you.

---

3. The Challenge 🔥 — 8 of Water (Snake in the Bones) 🌊🐍

What tension or obstacle is asking to be met?

A snake slithers through a still body of water, patient and quiet. Folklore tells of a man who tried to avoid his foretold death by releasing his horse, only to be killed later by a snake dwelling in the horse’s grave. This card reminds us that letting go of attachments doesn’t always change destiny, and sometimes events unfold beyond our control. Awareness and acceptance become the tools of navigating life’s currents.

As The Challenge, the 8 of Water invites reflection on fate, attachment, and the subtle currents that influence outcomes.

---

4. The Action 🦋 — 6 of Water (Willow by the River) 🌿💧

What energy, initiative, or step can you take?

A willow leans gracefully over the water, catching a ray of sunlight. In Ukrainian tradition, willow branches are a symbol of remembrance, honouring the past like the palms that welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. This card invites reflection on memory, connection, and honouring what came before.

In the Action position, the 6 of Water suggests pausing to integrate lessons, honour continuity, and nurture insight - moving with awareness rather than force.

---

5. The Gift ✨ — 2 of Fire (Circle Dance) 🔥💃

What will be the reward or insight if you follow the path?

Figures in traditional costumes move in a tight, joyful circle, rhythm and energy almost tangible. This card celebrates community, collaboration, and shared joy, rooted in tradition. Following the themes of vitality, resilience, fate, and reflection, the 2 of Fire invites us to move together, celebrate life, and honour the shared rhythms that carry us forward.

As The Gift, it shows that the culmination of this journey is connection, celebration, and the joy that comes from sharing life’s dance with others.

---

🌿 Reflection

This spread traces a journey from the spark of life and vitality (6 of Fire) through resilience and grounding (Tower), acceptance of fate (8 of Water), reflection and nurturing action (6 of Water), to celebration and shared community (2 of Fire).

The Hearth & Path spread highlights how the Ukrainian Tarot blends folklore, historical resonance, and visual storytelling. Even amid challenge or uncertainty, there is a rhythm to follow, roots to honour, and joy to share. Step forward with awareness, stand steadfast when tested, and let the shared energy of your community carry you. 🌿✨

Ukrainian Tarot - First Impressions

A deck rooted in a specific culture is always going to be fascinating. The Ukrainian Tarot from redFeather/Schiffer is the first folklore deck I've seen that concentrates on one culture - previous decks have been worldwide. I can't wait to see how this focus allows the deck to really spread its wings.

---

At a Glance

Publisher: redFeather / Schiffer
Art Style: Colours, detailed, some pastoral, some dramatic
Size: Standard tarot dimensions
Theme: Slavic folklore with an emphasis on the legend of the Magic Fern
First Impressions Guide: Yes, concise and elegant

First Impressions

The colours and brightness of this deck are amazing. I love the friendly, homely Hierophant, and the element-focused suits are intriguing. At first glance they don't seem to line up entirely with the RWS, and I'm excited to explore that and see where the differences are and where they're the same.  

I’m curious about a few things as I dive in:

• Will not knowing the Slavic folklore affect my readings?

• How well do the elements match up with RWS?

• Where there are differences, how will they affect a reading or spread?

The deck feels thoughtful, intentional, and elegant - like a whisper rather than a shout.

---

First Draw

My very first card from the deck is the 5 of Air. Usually a card of strife and division, here the image is relaxing and calming - a shepherd watching over his flock, playing his pipe in the beautiful surroundings. It's immediately calming and feels like the deck is telling me to slow down, take things slowly, and don't rush this period of getting to know each other.

Closing Thoughts

One card in, seventy-seven to go - and I’m already intrigued. The Ukrainian Tarot feels like a deck for reflection, clarity, and intention. I’m excited to explore this folklore driven deck and see if I can pick up some interesting new stories.

I’ll be back soon with more impressions - and likely a few surprises along the way.
