PIXIE'S ASTOUNDING LENORMAND

 Amazing recycling of Pamela Colman Smith's images in this loving tribute...

Edmund Zebrowski lovingly created a hit with this beautiful offering. And the images are familiar! They are from the Rider-Waite Tarot that we all know and love and the variations of that famous deck. The colors match more with the Smith-Waite Tarot; muted, soft and understated. The images are minimalist and Victorian in style. The backs are a soft powdery blue with a simple pink rose and leaves in the middle. The booklet that comes with the deck is a great source of information...listing ENERGY, KEYWORDS, FULL MEANING, the source of the images (either from the Tarot or from Pamela Colman Smith's other publishing projects) and so much more. I always partner Pixie's Astounding Lenormand with the Smith-Waite Tarot Deck, also in a can. I can toss both of these in my purse or bag and not worry about them getting damaged or wet when I am at the beach. Pixie was Pamela Coleman Smith's nickname. She was the original creator of the artwork (woodcuts) used for the Rider-Waite deck and it's variations and during her lifetime was not given full credit for her work. Sad to say, she died almost penniless. Now, I think she is smiling at us from the Great Beyond knowing that her name and her works are still very much alive! Thank you, Edmund!

Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards

GYPSY WITCH FORTUNE TELLING PLAYING CARDS

 Exact and direct answers to your questions! Very clear impressions!

I love these cards! Very much like the Lenormand oracle and includes all of the Lenormand cards (except the Cross--you can use the Rapiers #37 instead). Some of the card meanings are different from Lenormand and they are numbered differently, so this is a seperate system unto itself but not difficult to learn. This deck is even more similar to the Maybe Lenormand Deck as this deck is also a full 52 card deck of playing cards and adds in 3 Jokers. Smaller too, so you can throw the deck in your purse and use it for Divination while on the run or just playing Rummy or Solitaire while commuting or killing time. I have been playing with the Gypsy Witch since I received it and I am really getting some distinct and exact impressions and direct answers to my questions. The woodcut designs are slightly older than the Rider Waite Tarot. I read that this deck was anonymously created a few years before the Rider Waite. Some reviewers say that the images are dark. I am not feeling that at all. The instructional flyer gives diagrams for two readings; a small one and a much larger one similar to Le Grand Tableau. Not sure if all of this is set in stone, though. I plan on playing around with my own created spreads and may include the Tarot as an overlay just to experiment. The opportunities are endless with this deck! Buy it!

This is the Cadillac of the Rider-Waite or Waite-Colman Decks...the Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot Deck!

Superbly packaged in a sturdy box, these are standard Tarot sized cards, border-less, shiny card-stock and easy to shuffle. Not antiqued but with that old school look and design and the use of the original woodcut drawings by Pamela Colman Smith. 

The colors are different, more bold and the backgrounds utilize stunning shades and tints making for more three dimensional art. From what I understand, the art used for the original Rider Waite backs; a beautiful design of red roses and white lilies is what was used for this deck. 

This is now one of my go-to decks that I will always reach for when doing professional readings because they are so beautiful. The book is in several languages and includes upright and reverse meanings--more in depth than with a tiny white booklet. 

Simply put to collectors; this is one deck that will be a stand out in your collection. I always recommend that my Tarot students start with a Rider Waite or Waite-Colman-Smith deck--so this can also be a student's f…

CALCULATE YOUR SOUL, PERSONALITY AND YEAR CARD IN TAROT

By

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE MATH! To determine your soul and personality card, add the day, month and year you were born. Take that total and add all of those numbers in a row. If the sum is more than 22, add together the resulting numbers. If the sum is between 10 and 22, that number is your personality card. Add that number together to find your soul card. To calculate your year card, do this: add the number of the day and the month you were born to the year you want to check your card for. Then add those numbers all together for the total. The sum of those numbers is your year card. Your year card is in effect and you are under it's influence from your last birth-date to your upcoming (or next) birth-date.  If you have any questions on this, just ask me (use the contact form on this site). *I use the number 22 for the Fool in order to assign a number value to that card.  **Create a chart or an old calendar and calculate past year cards. Analyze what issues, lessons, life passages wer…

Dreams of Gaia Tarot--Large or the Small, Pocket Sized?

Well, it really depends on what you prefer. This is just a short comparison on both decks created by Ravynne Phelan. I love the Dreams of Gaia Tarot, the art work is stunning and the restructuring of the Major Arcana just works for me when doing professional readings. You can find a description of the restructuring of the Major Arcana of this deck HERE. 
Sometimes this deck is more oracle in nature and some of the meanings of the cards are different than the standard Rider-Waite-Colman-Smith based decks, but that doesn't seem to matter when one is reading them in a spread and using one's intuition to divine the blending of the cards. I was drawn to the sigils for the elements and the use of them in lieu of the traditional suits of the Tarot deck.
My favorite difference in favor of the pocket edition is the lack of borders so the art really pops on the smaller deck! Also the pocket edition has the matte type of paper stock; the large deck uses shiny paper stock and the cards f…
