Shadowscapes Tarot
by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, Barbara Moore
Enter a fantasy world of pastel colors and dream-like images that span cultures, myths and fairy tales. Shadowscapes is a standard Rider Waite Smith deck with 78 cards, Majors, Minors, and Court Cards. The Minors are traditional as wands, cups, pentacles,and swords. with corresponding animals to represent them. Wands depict foxes and lions. Swords show us different types of birds. Turtles, mermaids, and fishes are swirling about with cups, and plants, trees, and insects are found with pentacles. The symbols and colors of the Majors evoke feelings and allow for a dreamy contemplation. At first it almost seems difficult to interpret the cards with so much movement and symbolism in each card but I find they actually easy to interpret if you look closely at all of the symbols in each picture. it also helps to download the Shadowscapes phone app for convenient access to interpretations and full text from the book which accompanies the box set. In any deck, the Five of Pentacles and the Five of Swords are difficult cards, spiritual poverty, material troubles, discord and conflict of interests respectively, yet here the swirling colors weaving vines and flying birds convey energy for change. The Knight of Swords is the brave hero rushing forward to defend his beliefs.The Nine of Cups, the wish card, entices with sensoral pleasures, The Lovers show balance and a melding of heart and mind, and the whimsical Ace of Wands speaks to the possibility of creativity, adventure, stepping forward with courage and confidence. A lovely deck for all ages.

Oracle of Mystical Moments
by Catrin Weltz-Stein

Oracles can have any amount of cards and represent some kind of theme. This oracle deck has 52 cards that tell stories about feminine wisdom, nature and life. The oracle begins with card 1. Day & Night. "We see a girl with the sun in her hands and the moon at her back. She looks uncertain, as if she has a question in mind but does not know the answer." The card is about indecision and trusting our instincts - so begins the journey....

Chrysalis Tarot
A standard 78 card deck with Major Arcana, Minors, and Court cards. Justice is card Vlll (in some decks, Justice is card Xl).

The Rider Waite Smith Deck
This first post will be about the deck that started it all for most of us modern readers - the Smith Waite deck. It's been called the Rider deck, Rider Waite, Rider Waite Smith but what sticks out about this special deck is the images of the Minor Arcana, the common numbered cards. Pamela Coleman Smith February 16, 1878 - September 18, 1951), also named Pixie, was a British artist, writer, and occultist. She brought the Minor cards or Pips to life with her colorful images depicting the energies of the four elements in terms of daily human life. Earth is about success or failure, Fire is victory, acquisition, defending our boundaries, and getting in over our heads. Water is sentimental, illusory, and can bring us our hearts desire, and Air represents the battles we have with ourselves and others. Her art images help us to personalize the numbered cards, which aids in interpretation. The Rider deck comes in different sizes and styles.There is the standard Rider Waite deck with bright colors, available in a full sized deck as well as a mini deck, the Radiant Rider which displays radiant colors compared to the standard, the Centennial editions which are commemorations to Pamela Smith Coleman and her art. Their colors are richer and more Victorian in origin compared to the standard deck that displays bright and loud coloring. The name Rider is the publisher of the deck. A. E. Waite, Arthur Edward Wait was an occultist, a scholarly mystic, and member of the Order of the Golden Dawn whose vision created the cards although only revealing some of its occult secrets. Pamela Coleman Smith, also a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn had not achieved the grades that Waite did so her interpretations of the mysteries are more expressed by the dramas of daily life. This deck the Rider Waite Smith first published in 1909 and illustrated all 78 cards which made the deck stand out as tarot decks typically offered illustration for only the 22 major Arcana cards.
Images of the Fool card show the standard deck, the Commemorative and the Radiant Rider.

Tarot as a Path of Wholeness can inspire your healing process, dream, moon and shadow work. The archetypes and images awaken parts of ourselves and reveal parts that have been hidden. The cards can become a part of daily ritual, the one card draw or the image we most wish to aspire to. Tarot holds a space of mystery and magic to those who read their messages and the reading of cards becomes a process very much like a visit from an old friend. This sounds amazing, but where do we begin, which decks to choose, and what are the card meanings? over time, I am going to talk about the decks in our store, what makes them special, what makes them different, so you can learn more about them before making your choice.
