Sneak peek: Soulful Woman Guidance Cards
News , Oracle , Sneak peek / 12 April 2016

Sorry guys…unless you feel like decks specifically catering to women can be of help to you, you’d have to sit this one out. Soulful Women Guidance Cards is an oracle deck by Shushann Movsessian & Gemma Summers and intended to give nurturance, empowerment and inspiration for the ‘Feminine Soul’ It’s a deck with 48 cards (LWB has 80 pages) focusing on the so-called sacred feminine, universal feminine power, that is a nourishing energy embracing all of humanity. The Soulful Woman Guidance Cards are intended to inspire and nurture your soul and will help you manifest that sacred energy for yourself. Art-team The cards in the Soulful Woman Guidance deck show women’s faces in different settings, drawn by 26 different female artists. Each of the cards has a powerful affirmation to work with. If you need some help trusting in the universe or divine timing, this could be the deck for you if I am to trust the blurb ;-). What I think based on the cards, is that it could be an ideal deck if you need something uplifting and work from there. And I might even suggest to take a look, even if you’re not (yet) soulful. Perhaps the…

Sneak peek: Dreams of Gaia Tarot
News , Sneak peek , Tarot / 12 April 2016

Blue Angel Publishing announced some of its upcoming releases. One beauty, based on the pictures, is Dreams of Gaia Tarot. This deck, with artwork by Ravynne Phelan (aka Michele-lee Phelan), is almost ten years in the making and especially interesting for those who like healing and huge tarot cards. The 81 cards come with black borders, gold-gilded edges and a 308-page guidebook. The philosophy of the Dreams of Gaia Tarot is to seek, to feel, to grow and to heal. The idea behind the tarot deck is that you’ll strengthen the connection to your divine self all the while helping you to heal past experiences that hold you back in the present. By using Dreams of Gaia you will be able to live to your fullest potential. Different archetypes The Dreams of Gaia Tarot has both a major and minor arcana, but in a way tarot readers can’t envision until they have the deck in their hands. It is divided into life phases, influences and reasons for being. So don’t expect The Chariot, The Tower or Hanged Man for example. This del comes with new archetypes, symbology and meanings that the artist thinks is more suited to the present. That statement…

Indiegogo campaign Starlight Dragon Tarot live
News , Tarot / 7 April 2016

The Indiegogo campaign for the Starlight Dragon Tarot has started today. If you have no idea to what tarot deck I am referring to, read my previous article on the cards. The Starlight Dragon tarot campaign will run for a month (so until May 7th) and once funded the deck will be send to backers in August or September already. For the last year both author and tarot reader Steph Engert and artist Nora Huszka worked diligently and practically full-time on the deck, which is one of the reasons backers will be able to receive their beauty so soon. On the campaign page a few more details about the deck are made known. Revelations are:  -No borders (happy Queen!) – Because of the ‘tiptoe’ shape the cards can be made into image-mandala’s and create very interesting puzzle-spreads. – No titles, but only elemental/astrological symbols and numerals sign on the minors. – Courts are also attributed to the elements – All the cards have so-called elemental rings, so you’ll see how the energy flows between the cards within your spread. Sounds like at least an intermediate deck to me. But definitely one that is promising to add something new to the table. The…
