Deck review: Transient Light Tarot by Ari Wisner and Fausta Joly

Unlock transformation, growth and joy with this beautifully crafted, plastic-free tarot deck and discover the powerful opportunities that can emerge from change.

Drawing inspiration and symbols from traditional tarot and personal experiences, illustrator Ari Wisner has created a diverse, innovative tarot deck that will show you the beauty at the core of change.

Whether joyful or painful, change can be utterly transformational - it is often followed by a new beginning in which we can find healing and growth. Ari explains that no matter what we've gone through - good or bad - we're being prompted by the universe to consider the important things in life.

Ari believes that everyone should be able to see themselves in these cards, regardless of gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity, ability, or body. The cards tell the story of transience, kindness and opportunity. They include traditional tarot archetypes that have been renamed to reflect a gender-neutral perspective, and objects and insightful symbols are used instead of the human body in most cards. Three bonus cards are also included - Past, Present, and Future - to be used in your practice however you desire.

Including 29 bespoke poems by Fausta Joly, the accompanying guidebook is full of insightful descriptions and empowering messages. Let the spirit of growth take the lead in your life and shift your focus from darkness to the bright, shining light of change and opportunity!

The Transient Light tarot is available now from Hay House. You can see the unboxing and flickthrough videos on TikTok.

New Directions in Tarot by Scott Martin

A look at how Pamela Colman Smith's theatrical knowledge and experience came into play when she drew the iconic cards of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

The "secrets" in this book have been known all along, and they work in all who read Tarot on a subconscious level. This insightful book delves deeply into the images Pamela Colman Smith created for the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, and reminds us of what we may have known intuitively but had not been aware of on a conscious level.

- A brand-new approach that focuses on how, in her images, Smith utilized a sense of direction, body movement, posture, gait, facial expression, and more

- Compares the Tarot Minors to technical elements of theater, including plot, conflict, elements of a play, thought/theme, dialogue, music, and actors' positions on stage

- Provides powerful tools for interpreting the cards and discovering new meanings that the reader can make their own

- Includes thought-provoking exercises that guide the reader in the mastery of these new insights

The result is a fresh take on Tarot that brings new meanings to light and enables the reader to evaluate what the Tarot provides like never before.
