Author: Tania Ahsan Illustrator: Paula Zorite Publisher: Arcturus Publishing Ltd. Purchase links at the end of the review. One could easily argue that after Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, the most influential tarot deck collaborators are Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris.

This post was written with the express permission of the querent. On Saturday, April 15th, 2023, we held a gender reveal party for my daughter and son-in-law.

Artist/Writer: Tillie WaldenPublisher: Liminal 11/Sterling Ethos As always, I am a sucker for good packaging, and Liminal 11 does another fine job with Tillie Walden’s The Cosmic Slumber Tarot. Liminal 11 decks generally come in a very nicely made box with magnetic closures. The boxes protect the cards well and sit nicely on a shelf. […]
Book: Tarot: Connect with Yourself, Develop Your Intuition, Live Mindfully Author: Tina Gong Publisher: DK, Dorling Kindersley Limited, a division of Penguin Random House. Some months ago, I ran across a random, but pleasantly illustrated book on tarot. This is generally not my practice as “information” and “illustrations” do not generally go hand in hand. […]
