I ordered this Oracle through Amazon, I wanted something along Astrology lines as strengthening my knowledge of Astrology is a life long labour of love. And I'm partial to a bit of the old Moon Magik myself, so why not. 

Yasmin Boland is easily one of the most respected astrologers on the planet, with multiple books widely available to buy. This Oracle is available in most Esoteric shops, book shops and online Esoteric platforms. 

The box quality is exactly what you expect from Hay house, sturdy with a smooth mat finish. I'm an absolute sucker for smooth touchy surfaces so that's me happy with the box at least 😂 maybe I need to learn how to do Divination with just a bit of smooth cardboard. 

The card stock is quite thin but still sturdy, and because the finish is exactly the same quality as the box they are very easy to shuffle. I don't mind it being so thin because it's great quality. 
I'm also the world's worst shuffler so I need it to be easy, combination of no talent and just basically I'm crap. 

I quite like the backs too as it shows all the Lunar phases.

It comes with a nice little guidebook, which has a detailed contents page that's seperated into 4 parts
    1.Moon phases
    2.New Moon with star signs
    3.Full Moon with star signs 
    4.Special Moon phases

Each one has a little description (besides the meaning of the card) which explains the significance of the moon in that time. 
Which I think is really truly helpful to anyone trying to get a simple foot hold on Zodiac knowledge, especially baby witches. 

The imagery is very pleasant, or just very moon like. These are nice, but in my humble opinon all of the cards are very similar..... 

Besides the actual moon being pictured the colour scheme is mostly shadows and hues of blue, purple etc. 

The messages are typical oracle, uplifting with no hard lessons like the Tower, 3 of swords or 10 of swords. Just gentle. Very very gentle


Conclusion

This is a nice Little deck which is probably worth having in your arsenal to fall back on if you need quick guidance spiritually or are new to Oracle. 
I have had this for a long time and I couldn't ever really connect with it, despite how well it's made and how thoughtful it all is. The images don't rouse my connections and I'm only speaking for myself here, I just need more from the imagery to invoke or convey the meanings to my humble client  If I'm reading for someone else I want to give them a more spiritual experience, help them understand. 

I personally would not use this in a reading instead of tarot or more Spiritual Oracle decks, because it doesn't channel Oda May Brown doom...... (it's a bit fluffy for me) and there are simply deeper feeling and less commercialised Oracle out there. 
Having said that it's a great as an educational too, and it's most definitely worth it's weight in gold as something that will help you in your journey into Astrology.

Vivid Spirit Tarot - A very painful ordeal

Hey Folk This review is a little different to my normal reviews, in the sense that I don't actually have the deck I want to review.  From what I thought would simply be an easy process, turned into an absolute fucking knigtmare which is still on going.  So i pre-ordered this deck back in August 2020 Which was meant to be released April 2021. No issue here I've pre-ordered before.  I said "NO ISSUE"..... Which are the famous last words... Then a few months later I noticed that the listing had gone, no pic nothing.  Which is unusual for Etsy because with Pre-Orders the listing stays. I was a little worried about this so I contacted them via email and the creator got straight back to me via Etsy Messenger.  Absolutely no issue, great communication and I was happy with that.  Time went on and I realised that my old surname was still on the order and it was close to printing, so I contacted them.  ...

Aquarian Tarot

Title: Aquarian Tarot Artist: David Palladini Price Range: £14 / $19 - £19 / $29 Dimensions: 6.99 x 3.18 x 10.16 cm Publisher: US Games Date: Originally published 1970 Style: Art Nouveau & Art Deco Hey folk, it's been a hot minute hasn't it!! My apologies things are a little bit intense my end so my review writing has had to slow down for the meantime. Heavy studying to become a qualified teacher, and unfortunately the loss of my best friend Katherine of 22 years.  So I'm trying to get back to normal now, please bear with me. Thank you for staying and to my new followers thank you for joining. So, I LOVE Art Nouveau and Art Deco. They're both two of my favourite art styles, with their thick lines and definitive (Sometimes dramatic) styles. Naturally I've got my eye on a few different decks, Aquarian was one of them!  Whilst I'm always on the hunt for Diverse decks, I still appreciate the art of certain times because I understand the world was wha...

The Rider Waite - Centennial Edition

Title: The Rider Waite Alt Names: Smith-Waite,  Waite-Smith ,  Rider-Waite-Smith ,  Rider tarot deck Artist: Pamela Coleman Smith, commissioned by Mystic Arthur Edward Waite.  Dimensions: Various  Publisher: Various Date: 1909 Style: Ye Olde  Hype or Drag: Ye Olde HYPE  Google stock photo The most popular deck The Rider Smith-Waite is considered the blue print deck, the ultimate deck. It is very popular and it is every fucking where but is it the best deck? A little History A lot of cards on the market are inspired by this deck, almost all use similar imagery to convey the meanings associated with the deck. Although it IS the Blueprint for a lot of decks it was ONLY actually designed in 1909. Which means it's still relatively new when you consider that the court cards were being used as tarot from 1440 onwards, the Marseilles tarot (which is an even older blueprint), not the Smith-Waite. If we want to go back further there is evidence ...
