Deck review: Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani

Take a step forward on your spiritual journey with this gorgeously illustrated celebration of deities, folklore, and fairy tales from all over the world.

The path to enlightenment is unique for each of us, but many of the lessons we learn are shared stories passed among cultures and generations. With rich, vibrant art and a keen understanding of traditional tarot archetypes, illustrator Yoshi Yoshitani infuses Tarot of the Divine with worldly insight and an intriguing selection of fables and folktales from cultures across the globe.

The Major Arcana cards are brought to life with characters from beloved stories who embody the fool's journey, from the Danish fable of the naive Little Mermaid (a character who represents The Fool) to China's Beauty and the Beast (The Lovers) to the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai (The World). The archetypes of the Minor Arcana--focused on suits of cups, coins, swords, and wands--are made richer with diverse cultural fables, ancient mythologies, and spiritual legends like the Crane Wife (Japan), Aladdin (Persia), Jack and the Beanstalk (England), Fenrir (Norway), Oedipus (Greece), the Pandavas (India), and dozens more.

As you acquaint yourself with your cards, a 44-page guidebook illuminates how these fables support traditional tarot imagery and themes. With fables from more than forty countries, this spiritual journey is a worldly experience like no other.

Tarot of the Divine is published by Clarkson Potter Publishers, part of Penguin Random House. You can see the unboxing and flickthrough videos on TikTok.

Darkness Piercer Tarot by Philippe Rouchier

The Darkness Piercer Tarot– To Shed Light into Dark Places

The Darkness Piercer Tarot is an exciting, modern and innovative Tarot deck for novices and experienced card interpreters. With a theme that is based on personal development, divination and meditation, the Darkness Piercer boxed set contains an instruction book with a spiritual philosophy, with interpretations for each Major and Minor Arcana Cards, a unique intuitive ‘Constructive Reverie’ method, a variety of recommended spreads, and extended explanations of its stylish and enigmatic artwork. It also gives access to a word game hidden in the titles of the Major Arcana cards.

This Tarot takes us back to first principles, and how divination was originally used - to reveal what is hidden! The Darkness Piercer Tarot has been designed to be a strong and powerful tool that digs deep into the underground streams of consciousness, prises open profound wisdom, and accesses values that were born at the dawn of time, and are rebirthed here.

Darkness is the place of mystery and enchantment. It is the place of the unknown. Danger can lurk in dark places - and when light is shed - it can provide revelations. By piercing the darkness of our lives, we detect wrongdoing and can therefore suggest new ways of relating and new spiritual paths to walk.

The images of the Darkness Piercer are enigmatic and surreal, but magic is placed within the colour, shape and design of the artwork so that an awakening of inspiration and guidance occurs which provides valuable answers. The Interpreter of these cards might see caves, mountains, futuristic monuments, dolmens, monoliths, strange landscapes, flowing liquids - and within these scenes - by gazing deeper from the outer images, there lies an inner place where the answers are held.
