The young Page of Swords stands atop a hill, sword drawn and held by two hands. His gaze seems to be cast backwards. The scene is set against a cloudy blue sky with ten birds flying in the distant background.

Card fell out of Tarot Deck
You’re shuffling cards. Mindful of the question. Then mid shuffle, a card falls out. Do you use it? Put it back in the deck? Was it significant? Should you use it in your reading? Maybe the card was a sign that it shouldn’t be even in the reading and you should leave it out of the reading altogether?! A lot […]
The World
A wreath of laurel surrounds a naked female who holds a wand in each hand in The World. Winding around her is a purple piece of cloth. In each corner of the card, emerging out of clouds are various figures such as a lion, eagle, human and bull. She seems suspended in mid air.
Judgement
An angel in the sky plays a trumpet in the 20th card of the Tarot, Judgement. (S)He has red wings and blond hair with wisps of fire emanating from the hair. A white flag with a red cross hangs from the trumpet. Below, people lift their arms up as if in praise, emerging from graves. In the distant background are […]
Life Purpose Oracle Cards – Deck Review
I’m a sucker for tarot, angel and oracle cards. I don’t view them as necessarily a divinatory tool but I do love looking through them, seeing the artwork and the meanings authors attribute to each card. The Life Purpose Oracle Card deck is one I purchased ages ago and never really got around to using it – maybe my life […]
The Sun – Tarot

In the foreground a crustacean emerges from the water onto land. A path leads from the water and weaves its way between the animals and […]
The Star – Tarot
A naked female pours water from two jugs, one into the lake and the other empties onto the land. Kneeling, one of her feet is in the lake and the other on land. In the background are mountains and a tree with a bird perched on top. Eight stars are denoted in the sky, marking The Star in the Tarot […]
The Tower – Tarot
The Tower in the Tarot depicts a zig-zag lightening bolt strikes a tower, knocking its fiery crown off. Two people, one a king, are depicted falling from the tower, red flames coming out the three windows. The tower is grey, built upon a rock and the background is black. Grey clouds color the background along with twenty two pieces of […]
The Devil – Tarot
Staring out at the reader, the Devil in the Tarot is an imposing and striking figure. Seated on a cube to which a man and woman are chained, the devil points up with his right hand and down with his left hand which also holds a burning torch. The woman has a tail with fruit at the tip, the man’s […]
