Introspective Tarot

How/Why I Got It This deck has been all over my research and blogs for the last few months. It's been on my wishlist for a long while, and I prefer this over the RWS. I like the modern art that incorporates symbolic meaning for all cards. This is my first deck without the minor arcana cards being 'pip' cards. (Which is a term I recently started to understand.) Artwork The art is done by Lisa Sterle , who also does a lot of comic book art. I love the diversity in the people depected. I also like how it's easy to see what message the card may be trying to convey through the artwork. I like that it's similar to the RWS, which is the standard beginners deck (which I have never touched).  Interview Spread Questions I asked the cards to get to know them. I put the cards in ordered, then shuffled them until it felt right. What kind of energy do you have? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What readings do you prefer? What message to you have for me? What...

 How I Got It I bought it today from Barnes and Noble while taking a 'healing' day. I didn't go into the store planning to buy anything, but after the last few days of feeling so bad (major depression episode, yikes), I wanted something fun. There were more oracle cards, but I'm not confident in working with them (yet?). I got these specifically cause of the artwork of the cards. this is Mama, who would not leave me alone the last few days she knows when i'm not in a good mental state which is why her name is Mama, lol Artwork The box is... bright. Bright and a little gaudy. I want to ignore that, along with the booklet, which is difficult to read and understand. The art, though, is bold and just a little off, in a good way! The cards were created by Ciro Marchetti . It's not my favorite visual but it's growing on me. Interview Spread I will be using these questions as I draw and interpret: What kind of energy do you have? What are your strengths? What are ...

How I Got It Nothing special, honestly. I wanted a deck with different art, so I found this online on sale from Barnes and Noble . I've been into the visuals of moon and stars lately, which I'll go into more as I describe the artwork. The booklet was written by Jayne Wallace , and includes affirmations for each card. I don't know much about the author, but it seems she's pretty famous in celebrity circles. Artwork That artwork for this deck is done by Hannah Davies . It's a softer type of art than my other deck, with abstract backgrounds and small details added to the major arcana cards. I like the abstract work and the small details that include constellations or astrology symbols. I bought this deck purely for the artwork and the layout of the cards, including the word displayed. Interview Spread I will be using these questions as I draw and interpret: What kind of energy do you have? What are your strengths? What are your limits? What kind of readings do you pref...

How I Got It I bought this deck from a Barnes and Noble over a decade ago. I'm not sure if it was before or after I got married, but it's been with me through major events in my life. I'm not sure the reason I kept the deck, but it was always in a black drawstring bag of cheap fabric. I found it a few months ago in the bottom of a storage tub, the bag starting to unravel. I'm not sure this deck is being sold anymore. Artwork Visually, the deck is in line with my tastes. I love the vibrant colors and knotted designs. It reminds me of the art style called Pointillism , which involves using dots of colors to create a whole image. It was created by Courtney Davis in 1989 from what I could find online. The pentacles are depicted by coins and the wands are depicted by staffs. Interview Spread I will be using these questions as I draw and interpret: What kind of energy do you have? What are your strengths? What are your limits? What kind of readings do you prefer? What messag...
