An Ukiyo-e Lenormand by Robert M. Place is beautiful. It comes in a red cloth two part box that slides out, with arched grooves on both of the boxes for easy access. This is the packaging that Robert Place looks to be implementing in all his new decks and I love it. As per Place … Continue reading An Ukiyo-e Lenormand: A review

The Friar’s Delight Lenormand: a review
The Friar's Delight Lenormand is a little unpretentious gem of a deck. Firstly, I'm not big on Lenormand decks, I used to have a couple some years ago, and I dabbled with reading them but it never stuck so they quickly moved on to more motivated hands. After these failed experiences I spent a couple … Continue reading The Friar’s Delight Lenormand: a review
Button Soup Tarot: A Collaborative Tarot Deck
Mid to late 2019 the community at Cult of Tarot, a forum for all tarot lovers and readers, decided to create a community based tarot deck, where all members were invited to choose a card from the 78 and create their own vision of that card. It began with the Majors and then grew into … Continue reading Button Soup Tarot: A Collaborative Tarot Deck
The Red Woman: an encounter
What follows is a book review through the lens of a poem. Recently, well, a couple months back now, I received and devoured Scarlet Imprint's summer publication, The Brazen Vessel†. It is a collection of essays that gathers 10 years of work from both Alkistis Dimech and Peter Grey, ranging from unpublished essays, to presentations. … Continue reading The Red Woman: an encounter
The Dreamkeepers Tarot
Mid-2018 I was pining after Baba Studio's Victorian Romantic Tarot, roaming through several tarot trade groups desperately seeking the first or second edition. In one of these groups, someone posted a link to a kickstarter campaign. I clicked on the link and found that the campaign was for a beautiful tarot deck by artist and … Continue reading The Dreamkeepers Tarot
M.M. Meleen’s Tabula Mundi
I don't get very many new tarot decks, I like to keep what I have manageable, where I use all the decks I own interchangeably and frequently. However, here is a review and a half of two recent purchases. I was not originally aware of the creation of Tabula Mundi prior to its release. I … Continue reading M.M. Meleen’s Tabula Mundi
Tarot and Art
"Art plays with conventional forms, stretching the imagination towards liberation from constraints." -Camelia Elias Art as a vehicle for moving the heart, stirring the soul, and confronting the self with the eternal, the non-discursive, the symbolic, the metaphorical. I start here because I recently participated in Camelia Elias's most recent course offering, a one-day affair, … Continue reading Tarot and Art

No that long ago I did a review of this uniquely beautiful deck, it can be found here. This new edition looks more than promising and I am certain it will remain as hauntingly enduring as the first.
An Enchanted Landscape through The Immaterial Book
Around February of this year, Rubedo Press released a book by Jose Leitao, compiled and translated by him. I jumped at the chance to purchase the book as I highly admire his writing, his narrative is both accessible and rich. I find his scholarly take on the subject of Saint Cyprian, and especially on The … Continue reading An Enchanted Landscape through The Immaterial Book
LXXXI The Magician’s Deck: A Review
I received this deck around two months ago, and have read and studied the book carefully while using the deck exclusively on a daily basis. I like to involve myself with the decks I invest in, and I like to keep my collection small. I found this deck after listening to an interview by one … Continue reading LXXXI The Magician’s Deck: A Review
