The Honest Tarot review

Etsy photo Title: Healing not Broken Price: $27.75/£20 Artist: Britanni Zahourek Dimensions: I can't find them anywhere, sorry.  Publisher: Self Published on Etsy Date: June 2020 Style: Mindful Quotes, words of wisdom & Calm art Hype or Drag: Hype Let's take a look at this little find! Healing not Broken comes from Nebraska, and is the Deck baby of Britanni Zahourek. The deck is 42 cards of inspiring quotes, coupled with fitting artwork. The artist exclaims that this deck was originally made simply for herself, as she battled her own mental health. Eventually she decided to help others, and as such the deck was made available for all. Before I continue I'd like you to know that this deck is 100% Hand made. So unlike Hay House etc I am not going to hold them to a commercialised standard. As Britanni quite literally makes them all by hand.  Box The box is sturdy and made from recycled cardboard. It is a one piece which I expect from handmade prod...

Welcome to Author Spotlight! So what better place to start than with myself. Although this will be difficult because I set this space up to talk about Tarot and Oracle etc, without being held to my Gender, Sexuality or Race. Without any preconceptions about me or anyone being mad with me because they don't like my critique. It's important these things are done in a fair way.  You see, I used to read Tarot years ago, and then i put them down! During the start of the Covid Pandemic i picked them back up and never looked back! I fell into an abyss, I was introduced to Oracle decks etc etc. My collection started to grow.  I have found a couple of things frustrating when buying Tarot and Oracle decks. 1. The are hundreds of decks and there are a lot of big publishers and well known Authors. Where do you start? How do you choose? It is those people who dominate the market when people are trying to get in to Cartomancy, and a lot of the decks are really over-hyped.  ...

Title: Tarot Dėl Fuego Artist: Ricardo Cavolo Price Range: $13.36/ £9.73 Dimensions: 6.2 x 3.2 x 11.5 cm Publisher: Fornier Date: 17th Jan 2019 Style: Colourful and Wild, just WILD Hype or Drag: Verdict at the end Amazon Stock Photo Can i tell you a secret..... I have a weak Spot for Fornier. I really love bright colors and they seem to publish decks with artists who aren't afraid of splashing color about. Also, I appreciate that their decks are mostly lower end of the price range and affordable to everyone. Sometimes I feel like talented readers are priced out of tarot decks as some decks seem to cost the earth for no special reason. (Of course I expect it from Indie Decks which are developed on a much smaller scale) Ricardo Cavolo Behind this deck is Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo, who's art can only be described as a mixture of Folk Art, religious, Tattoo culture, tribal and nautical themes. (As described on his bio)  We can clearly see the influence of his cultu...
