I love unique tarot decks, even though I really don't practice tarot. It's a beautiful expression of creativity wrapped in esoteric lore, which is excellently represented by one of Weiser's more recent decks, Tarot Chirmera: The Arcana of Odilon Redon by Nitasia Roland.

In this deck, Roland uses the art of French Symbolist painter, printmaker, and draftsman, Odilon Redon, to create a unique tarot deck. His work has been referred to as "dream terrors," "beyond anything imaginable," and "inconceivable apparitions," which is very apparent when looking at the art Roalnd chose for this deck. There are floating heads, mythological creatures, and unsettling locals throughout, making this deck unlike anything else I have seen thus far...in a good way.

As with all tarot decks, Roland includes all the major and minor arcana, with a guidebook to help new and old tarot readers alike. This guidebook includes a breakdown of the cards, but also gives some much-needed history about Redon and the use of the chimera in the deck. And that is where this deck becomes unlike most others on the market. Roland includes 6 oracle cards, one of which is the chimera, to help focus, elaborate, and clarify a reading. The meaning of these oracle cards can be found in the guidebook as well, although you can always look for your own symbolism. My favorite among these is the Genis Loci, which is not only a fascinating inclusion for a witch that works locally, but the artwork is also captivating.

Furthermore, this is one of the best constructed decks I have seen in a while. The cards are incredibly sturdy, but not so much that you can't easily shuffle them. They will wear out incredibly well, lasting you for many, many years if taken care of. The gold detailing on the edges is particularly beautiful, but like all gilding, it will likely fade with time.

If you are looking for a truly unique tarot deck, Tarot Chirmera: The Arcana of Odilon Redon by Nitasia Roland is for you...or your artsy friend. If my mother were into tarot, this is a deck she would likely pick up. While she prefers Impressionists over Symbolists, she loves art of all kinds and would appreciate the care and thought that went into compiling such a deck.

Ogham by Jane Matthews Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

You would think spending the last several weeks sick would have left me with plenty of time to read and write, but alas, my mind was so foggy I could do little more than sit up in my chair or lie in bed. I could barely watch TikTok in my stupor. I was hoping to use the time to read several of the books that publishers have recently sent me to review, but without the ability to focus on anything for more than 5 minutes at a time, I wasn't able to. I was, however, able to look through some of the tarot/divination decks they have sent me. Staring at pictures and letting your vision unfocus is easy when you are unwell, at least for me.

Needless to say, that is where today's review comes in. I had the pleasure of receiving a copy of Ogham: Diving in the Celtic Way by Jane Matthews from Weiser/Red Wheel, and while I am not a practitioner of Celtic magic or divination, I do find the deck rather inspiring. The symbols are similar to runes and even have some overlap in meaning.

The deck features 25 cards and a 192-page guidebook. The guidebook is thicker than the cards, but for a good reason. It fully details how to read Ogham, which is vastly different from tarot. In the guide, you will find a brief history of the Ogham and a detailed guide on how to read the cards. Just like runes, the Ogham is broken up into sets, which are known as aicme. Each aicme has a different theme or story it tells, just like each runic ætt. Matthews does an excellent job breaking down each card's meaning and its relationship with others in the deck. And, as with all deck guidebooks, Matthews includes a number of spread ideas and how to read each spread. This is honestly one of the longest guidebooks I have come upon and is perfect for those new to the practice of reading the Ogham.

As for the cards, they are simply designed to avoid distraction and printed on sturdy cardstock. They are medium-sized cards, making it relatively easy to shuffle. The edges are a beautiful green, but it was starting to rub off as I was playing with the cards. They aren't shiny or gilded as previous decks have been, but they are still beautiful nonetheless. Overall, I believe the cards will hold up well over time.

If you are interested in getting your hands on a set of Ogham in card form, I encourage you to check out Jane Matthews's Ogham: Diving in the Celtic Way, available now.

Magic Spells Oracle by Judika Illes Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

If you do not know Judika Illes's name, I am going to assume you have been living under a rock. She is one of the largest names in the esoteric community, having written multiple encyclopedias, including her most famous, The Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells. Her work has shaped our community for the better part of three decades. Most recently, her impact has been her Magic Spells Oracle deck, which features 36 oracle cards designed to help you connect internally and externally to your practice.

The deck is divided into suits using the four elements. Each element features nine cards, including animals, crystals, and symbols traditionally associated with Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. There are also two bonus cards called "Balancing Cards" that act as "wild cards" and provide additional insight when pulled alongside others. According to the guidebook, these cards bring "the spread into alignment" and "boost, amplify, or connect the other cards selected in a layout."

Upon all 38 cards in the deck is a title, image, and description of the card's meaning, making this a true oracle deck that is easy to read and understand. The guidebook offers further insight into each card, which I suggest reading through after you have attempted to make sense of a spread's meaning. Since this deck is called Magic Spells Oracle, it is best used to help guide your spellwork, but can be used for basic divinatory practices as well.

Apart from their simplistic yet beautiful design, the cards are large and sturdy. They will hold up well over time, but their size will make it more difficult to bend the cards to shuffle if you prefer such shuffling methods.

Overall, this is a great deck if you are new to reading cards, looking to incorporate cards into your spell work, or wishing to combine oracle and tarot together in your practice!

Tarot Emblemata by Nitasia Roland Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

Several weeks ago, Weiser reached out asking if I would be interested in reviewing several of their latest tarot decks, to which I enthusiastically agreed, especially once I saw the lineup. One of these decks includes Tarot Emblemata by Nitasia Roland, who was inspired to create this unique tarot deck after deep diving into Renaissance emblems.

Unlike traditionally illustrated decks, Tarot Emblemata uses 16th-century, French emblems attributed to Bernard Salomon, which were published by Jean de Tournes and Guillaume Gazeau in 1551. Roland meticulously cleaned up dozens of images from books, museum scans, and other resources, helping to preserve art well beyond its time. I cannot begin to describe how important this beautiful memorial is to preserving otherwise forgotten works.

Much like tarot, these emblems held significant cultural meaning, meanings similar to those found within the tarot. Each card contains an inscriptio, pictura, and subscriptio that aligns with the traditional tarot meanings. Most of the cards contain the original inscriptio and subscriptio, but Roland has changed a few to better suit the card's meaning. These new images provide an alternative way to view the cards, which, along with their inscriptio and subscriptio, provide a unique tarot reading experience that will delight new and old practitioners alike.

When I first opened this deck, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the illustration choices. I am not going to lie, tarot is not something I really use in my practice, and I don't read the cards often. Because of this, I do not have a particularly strong understanding of each card nor a pull to any card in particular. At first glance, these cards seemed more difficult to read and understand than traditional Rider-Waite tarot, but once I took the time to actually look at the details of each emblem and read the subscript, everything started to fall into place. I had many an 'ah-ha!' moment as I flipped through the cards, details clicking into place the more I studied each card.

Tarot Emblemata contains 83 traditional tarot cards, as well as 5 oracle cards to help clarify your readings. All five are beautifully illustrated and an excellent addition to this already gorgeous deck. I think more tarot creators should follow suit and add some clarifying oracle cards to their decks. Yes, I know more cards seem like a lot when there are already so many, but sometimes a unique perspective is needed.

As with other decks, Roland has included a magnificent guidebook which not only breaks down the card's meaning, but also gives a brief history of the emblem shown and its associated motto. This is such a refreshing take on a tired concept that I found myself reading about each card as I sat on the floor after photographing the deck. I sat so long flipping through its pages that my husband had to order dinner because I had completely forgotten about time!

Finally, these cards are sturdy and likely to hold up with repeated use. I have handled and reviewed many decks over the years, and these cards are among the best quality-wise. The edges are decked in a shiny rose gold, which will likely wear off over time with repeated use, but the cards themselves will hold up just fine.

If you are looking for a new approach to the tarot, Tarot Emblemata by Nitasia Roland is the deck for you. I highly recommend checking out this labor of love and seeing where the cards take you!

Wise Earth Medicine Tarot by Lalania Simone Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

I was so thankful when Weiser reached out and asked if I would like to receive a copy of Wise Earth Medicine Tarot by Lalania Simone. This was about the same time that Llewellyn asked if I would like to receive a copy of Shamanism and Your Shadow: Using Animal Guides to Explore and Heal Your Inner Self by Granddaughter Crow. I knew they would likely pair really well, and I was not disappointed.

Wise Earth Medicine Tarot is a beautiful, full-color deck featuring the traditional major arcana and the minor arcana as elements. I love this approach, as many people better understand the meaning of the elements than they do the objects traditionally found in the Rider-Waite decks. Furthermore, the meaning of the card is featured right on the front, along with a plant or animal that corresponds with the meaning. Simone did a wonderful job carefully planning each card to ensure the picture and meaning matched in an authentic yet artistic way.

This deck is honestly one of the most beautiful decks I have had the opportunity to review. Each suit is themed, featuring flora, fauna, and colors associated with each element. By far my favorite suit was Earth, which features vibrant greens and some of my favorite animals, such as the cat, fox, and raccoon. Water features aquatic creatures, while air focuses on flight, and fire on desert and savannah creatures.

The cards are not only beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully planned, but also sturdy. They are made with thick cardstock and will hold up well over multiple uses. The edges are gilded in my favorite color of green —a deep, lush emerald that sings to my soul. This, however, will likely wear off with repeated use, but it garners extra points in my book nonetheless.

The deck also includes a guidebook featuring instructions, spread ideas, and more information to get you started. Overall, this is the perfect deck for beginner tarot readers and seasoned ones alike. If your practice focuses more on the elements and natural world (low magic) compared to high magic, this is the perfect deck for you!

I highly recommend picking up Wise Earth Medicine Tarot by Lalania Simone if you are on the hunt for a new deck or looking for one to help you get started in divination.

Wyrd Sisters Oracle Deck Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

It's been a while since I had the chance to review an oracle or tarot deck, but thanks to Weiser, I was recently given the opportunity to review Wyrd Sisters Oracle by Casey Zabala, a sixty-card deck "devoted to working with the ancient deities who dwell at the roots of the world tree and set the order of the cosmos through their spinning, weaving, and cutting of the cords." I was specifically drawn to reviewing this deck because of its connection to Norse paganism, specifically the Norns who are in charge of weaving the threads of fate.

Wyrd Sisters, like many other decks on the market today, comes with a guidebook that explains the meanings of the cards. However, this deck is fundamentally different from other oracle and tarot decks in that the cards not only have a meaning, but also a spell or magic associated with them. The 'suits' are divided into Spell Cards, Candle Magic Cards, Sigil Cards, Magical Tool Cards, and The Wyrd Sister Cards. The magic associated with them, however, is not always clearly outlined, instead allowing the user to formulate their own spells and rituals through intuition and potential correspondences. I find this concept absolutely fascinating and a great opportunity for all witches, new and old alike, to learn how to craft their own spells through limited guidance and add some variety to their practice. The book also contains two potential card spreads and a brief introduction to the Wyrd Sisters (Norns) and how they show up in this deck and spreads.

As for the cards themselves, they are printed on a medium card stock with gilded silver edges. They bend easily for shuffling while maintaining their overall shape. The artwork is colorful and full of symbolism. I'm not going to lie, I don't find it to be the most beautiful deck I have ever used or seen, but its unique purpose and use make up for that. Overall, it's well-constructed and a deck I hope to use in the future, especially as I delve deeper into Norse paganism and magic.

You can order your own Wyrd Sisters Oracle deck by Casey Zabala wherever decks are sold.

New Year, New Beginnings: A Magical Tea and Tarot Ritual for Manifesting Your Desires

Welcome to the new year! As we bid farewell to the past and look forward to all that the future holds, it's a great time to set intentions and create positive change in our lives. One way to do this is through the power of tea and tarot. In this post, I'll be sharing a magical new year tea recipe and tarot ritual to help you let go of the past and manifest an abundant and fulfilling year ahead. Whether you're looking to attract love and abundance, or simply create a sense of peace and well-being, this tea recipe and tarot ritual can help to set the stage for a positive and transformative year. So let's get started!

What You'll Need

• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp chamomile or 1 chamomile tea bag
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried rose petals
• 1 teaspoon dried lavender
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Tarot deck

What to Do

Before you begin this spell, cleanse and consecrate your space using your preferred method. If you wish, cast a circle and invite any spirits or deities, such as Brigid, Freyja, Aurora, or Janus, you wish to join you in your ritual. Next, awaken the dried herbs using your preferred method, such as holding them in your hand, whispering to them, or blowing your intention into them (be sure not to blow them away).

When ready, bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the chamomile, sage, rose petals, and lavender to the water. Reduce the heat to low and let the tea steep for 5-10 minutes. Strain the tea into a mug and add honey, stirring clockwise. As you stir, imagine the tea filling with golden light and say, "Infusion of chamomile, sage, rose, and lavender, bring peace and serenity in the new year. Remove past blockages and leave a clean slate, so I may manifest my best fate. I draw only the positive to me now, to ensure my year is bountiful and plenty."

Sit in a comfortable and peaceful place and hold the mug in your hands. Take a few deep breaths and allow yourself to sink into a meditative state. As you drink the tea, visualize yourself letting go of any negativity or challenges from the past year. Imagine these things dissolving and drifting away like smoke. Focus on your intentions for the new year, and visualize yourself manifesting abundance, happiness, and success.

When your visualization is complete, take a moment to focus on your intention for the new year. What do you hope to achieve or experience in the coming year? Keep this intention firmly in your mind as you shuffle your tarot deck. Ask the cards to reveal any insights or messages that will help you manifest your intention in the new year.

Choose a card (or cards, if you feel called to do so) from the deck and lay them out in front of you. Take a few minutes to meditate on the card(s) and see what message or guidance they have for you. Write down any insights or messages that you receive from the cards in your journal or Book of Shadows, so you can refer to it throughout the year as a reminder of your intention and the guidance you received from the tarot. 

When you have finished your tea and completed the tarot reading, take a moment to thank the universe and any deities/spirits you invited to your ritual for supporting you in manifesting your intention for the new year. Be sure to leave an offering in return, such as water, bread, honey, a bit of tea, or wine.

Why You Did It

Understanding the why's of a spell are just as important as performing it. It helps you understand the process so you can modify the spell or ritual to suit your needs and helps guide you to write your own. It's my intention that by providing these explanations, you can build a better understanding of how spells are written and executed so you can modify and build your own spells (the goal of my Spellcrafting Series). 

This spell begins with awakening the dried herbs. Unless you are using freshly picked leaves, you will find that the energy of dried herbs is often quiet or stagnant. By waking up the herbs, you reawaken their energy, set the intention for the spell, and call on the spirit of the plant to aid you in your magical endeavors. This is often something I forget to do, but you'll find that waking up the herbs prior to using them strengthens and empowers the spell in a way that sleeping herbs do not.

The herbs chosen for the tea blend help to create a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere and can support the intention of letting go of the past and manifesting a positive and abundant new year. Chamomile reduces anxiety and promotes calmness while also attracting love, luck, and positivity. It's also a potent hex/curse remover, making it perfect for removing any negativity from the past year. Sage is a cleansing herb, allowing you to shed the past, protect your future, and gain the mental clarity needed to manifest your desires. Rose, like chamomile, reduces anxiety and brings uplifting energy to the spell, ensuring a positive future. Finally, lavender helps purify, sharpen the mind, heighten psychic awareness, and manifest love and happiness. Lavender, in particular, helps you seek guidance from Spirit during the tarot reading that follows the tea ritual. Finally, the honey is to sweeten and bind the spell, ensuring your manifestations are positive.

I chose tarot for this ritual because it's the most commonly used form of divination among modern witches. Of course, you don't have to use tarot. You can also use runes, meditation, hedge riding, automatic writing, or even a spirit board to seek guidance. These are all methods of corresponding with spirit and are all valid. Pick what works best for you.

Finally, this spell is best performed on New Year's Day/New Year's Eve or the first full moon of the year. New Year's Day and Eve are associated with new beginnings, while the full moon is associated with manifestations. However, this spell can be performed whenever you feel the need to "start over," especially if you have gone through significant life changes, such as a marriage or divorce, the birth of a child, the loss of a family member or friend, changed jobs, or moved into a new home.

Wish to break this spell? If for some reason you no longer wish to manifest your original goal, there are a couple of ways you can break this spell. You could take a cleansing bath/shower, do a chord-cutting ritual, or write a new spell where you state that you no longer wish to manifest your original desire. In either case, be sure to thank the Universe, your deities, or spiritual guides for helping you to begin with, and let them know their services are no longer required on this matter.

Remember to record this ritual on your ritual/spell worksheet or in your Book of Shadows for reference later.

***

I hope that everyone has a magical, fulfilling 2023. According to numerology, 2023 is associated with the number 7, which is the number of magic, spiritual knowledge, manifestation, and luck. The past couple of years have been rough, but great change is coming our way. Why not make the most of it?

Lammas Tarot Spread

The first harvest or summer thermstice goes by many names, including Lammas, Lughnasadh, and Lunasda, but the theme remains the same. After the summer solstice, the Sun slowly begins to lose power and the shift inward begins. Fresh fruits and vegetables are picked and seeds are saved for future growing seasons. These harvesting and seed-saving metaphors carry over into all aspects of our lives, especially our magical selves. In the spring, we sewed the seeds for manifestation. Lammas marks a period of reflection; it's time to check in on those seeds and see what has manifested and what has not, what we need to continue working on, and what we can save for next year.

This tarot spread, which mimics the cornucopia, incorporates the metaphors of harvesting and seed saving while encouraging growth and gratitude. 

1. Growth: Earlier in the year, you planted seeds and set goals. How has the first half of the year gone thus far? What changes and growth have occurred in your life? If you planted seeds (goals) last spring, how are they doing? What has manifested in your life?

2. Harvest: Being the first harvest, Lammas is a time of celebration. What can you harvest in your life right now? What should you be grateful for and how should you give thanks?

3. Ripen: Not all crops are harvested this early. In fact, many may still need more time to ripe on the vine before they are harvested around Mabon. What needs to ripen more within you before harvesting?

4. Seed Saving: As the light begins to fade and autumn approaches, it's time to reflect. What seeds should you save for next year from the fruits of your labor? What should you tuck away for later use? What do you need to prepare for?

Even if you haven't planted seeds, you may find that change has occurred anyway. Not all of us connect well with Lammas anymore, especially if you live in the city or aren't into gardening and planting. That doesn't mean you can't celebrate the last throws of summer and reflect upon how the year is going. This tarot spread is there to help.

Enjoy the rest of summer, witches!

Wanderer's Tarot by Casey Zabala Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

If you have been following my latest reviews, you will have seen that Wieser Books sent me three tarot decks in the middle of October to review. This is the last of those tarot decks and I am excited to share this one with all of you. The other two decks, The Radiant Tarot and The Relative Tarot, used traditional imagery and followed the Raider-Waite structure. Wanderer's Tarot by Casey Zabala only somewhat follows this format. The deck includes the traditional Major Arcana, but the Minor Arcana uses the elements as the focus of the cards, and the Court cards feature the Philospher, Goddess, Prophet, and Wanderer. I really liked this approach and felt that this would be a great deck to combine with studying the elements and connect with them on a deeper level.

Each suit of Minor Arcana features 14 cards, Ace through King, using traditional elemental symbols as the inspiration for the cards. The suits include Feathers (Fire), Knives (Air), Moons (Water), and Stones (Earth). I love that Feathers and Knives are 'mixed' up, just like Swords and Wands are in traditional tarot. This was originally done to protect the original meaning of the cards (keep silent). I love the simplistic imagery on these cards, which are black with white line drawings. I think this helps focus the mind on the card, canceling out excess visual noise and allowing your intuition to take hold as you enter an altered state of consciousness.

The cards are rather sturdy like those I have previously reviewed, but are very slick in comparison. This makes handling the cards more difficult, but I am sure after use they will be easier to play with. The edges feature a beautiful silver which adds a touch of magic to the cards.

Unfortunately, the deck I received did not come with a guidebook, so I cannot speak on the book. The basic deck comes with a single-page insert that gives a very basic overview of each card, the suits, and numerology.

If you are interested in this midnight deck, Wanderer's Tarot by Cassie Zabala is available now!

The Relative Tarot by Carrie Paris Review

Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. I received a free copy of this deck in exchange for an honest review.

Up next in my tarot deck reviews is my favorite of the three decks, The Relative Tarot by Carrie Paris. This deck features a guidebook, 82 cards, and is designed to aid you in your self-discovery journey. Honestly, this is probably my favorite deck of all time apart from my Pride and Prejudice deck that I bought simply to honor Jane Austen and not to use in magic whatsoever. The Relative Tarot, on the other hand, is a deck I will use again and again.

Upon opening this deck, I felt an immediate connection. The cards feature antique photographs acquired from friends and family, which immediately drew me in. My mother collects and uses antique photographs in her artwork, so this is something that hits close to home. The card stock is sturdy and the beautiful gold leaf on the edge brings these cards a touch of elegance. However, it was the inclusivity of the cards that kept me coming back to this deck. As I first flipped through the cards, I noticed immediately that there were three copies of The Lovers. At first, I thought this was a printing mistake, but as I looked closer at the cards I realized they were each different. The cards feature a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, and a man and a man, representing all forms of love. This is so much more inclusive and a better representation of the relationships in our lives. Not all love is romantic love and not all romantic love is heterosexual in nature. When I realized what was being featured on The Lover cards, it brought a tear to my eye. I know that for many of my readers, this representation will be much appreciated. Furthermore, the cards feature antique photos from people of all cultures and walks of life. There are many representatives of the BIPOC community featured in these cards, so everyone is able to find a representation of them and their ancestors within these cards. This is uncommon in many decks which often feature almost entirely white people. I can tell much thought was put into each and every one of these cards and it shows in the final product.

I also noticed as I flipped through the deck that it featured two copies of Justice and Strength. Again I felt this may have been a printing error but upon inspection, I realized the numbering was different between the cards. Reading through the book I realized this was done on purpose. The numbering follows both the traditional Marseilles and Rider-Waite-Smith numbering systems so readers can pick which system they prefer to use. I don't personally have a preference, but I know other tarot readers most certainly do, allowing this deck to be more flexible.

According to the guidebook, this deck is designed to help you connect with your ancestors as well as your 'purpose.' There is a breakdown on how to find your birth card, annual card, inner expression and soul cards, and significator, as well as a break down of what they all mean. With this in mind, each card features the birth card numbers in the lower left-hand corner and the card pairings in the lower right-hand corner. I believe this is a useful addition that aids in Paris's intention behind the cards. I believe this deck pairs incredibly well with Ancestral Tarot by Nancy Hendrickson and highly recommend its use. You can purchase The Relative Tarot by Carrie Paris now.
