Tarot Review: The Light and Shadow Tarot Deck

Posted by Shula J Asher Silbertstein on January 18, 2012 at 6:18pm 2 Comments

By Shula J Asher Silberstein



The Light and Shadow Tarot Deck is a more impressive deck than it may seem upon first glance.  Each card features a seemingly simple black-and-white line drawing. The drawings are meant to depict the balance between light and dark; each image takes up the entire card and uses symbols from a variety of religions and cultures.  Animals, chalices and masks feature heavily in the deck. The drawings on the cards have multiple layers of meaning; when using the deck, answers to questions sometimes pop up in the form of symbols that previously went unnoticed on a particular card's image. For example, there are some snakes hidden in the background of the King of Wands card, which are easy to miss if concentrating on the image of a king atop an…

Card Profile: Lessons of the Fool and the Ultimate Wisdom of Simplicity.

Posted by Wise Tarot on January 8, 2012 at 11:10pm 2 Comments

Above: The Fool from the Osho Zen Tarot is archetypally the wise, fearless fool.

By Brian Newman

Even today, the fool remains one of our most treasured personalities. We love our comedies and comedians. Is this because laughter is important to life and living, or does the fool go beyond this important goal? Or do we, intuitively, see it as a path to enlightenment?

We are all born fools. We treasure our own childhoods, and we remember the simplicity of a time when we wonderingly looked at the world, imagined friends, played in the mud and chased a ball around and around. We smile and find joy in seeing that simple perfection in every small child. It's easy to love your children, or any children. Children are what we value and…

Tarot Deck Review: Gaian Tarot by Joanne Powell Colbert

Posted by Sheila Kelly on January 8, 2012 at 5:33pm 1 Comment

By Sheila Kelly

Recently I came across a deck that speaks volumes to me. I always know if I'll be able to build a relationship with a deck, because I always shop in person. Many chain book stores will have a new age section with a decent collection of cards available, although I recommend that you visit a proper new age store with a divination section.  If you can, open the deck and have a look at the cards.  I look at both the minor arcana and the major arcana.  I see if they speak to me.  If they do not, then return them to their rack.



One day, when browsing, I came across the Gaian…

Tarot Deck - 78 Cards

Published by Lo Scarabeo 2004



If you love dragons, the dragon tarot deck could be for you. The illustrations and artwork bring the many wondrous characteristics of these mythical creatures alive. The drawings are stunning, detailed and fantastical yet realistic. Some of the images depict dragons as evil creatures, which is not my idea of the dragon archetype. Dragons are mythical creatures, that are angelic and wise in my view.

The basic format of this deck is the same as all other decks, 78 cards…

What Aces mean in the Tarot deck

Posted by Wise Tarot on December 29, 2011 at 5:30pm 0 Comments

Raheel Khan

In the Tarot deck, different cards have different meanings; for instance, Queens are associated with authority, influence and power. The same is the case with Tarot Aces, and as long as these cards are mentally arranged appropriately within the deck’s hierarchy, understanding the meaning and significance of Tarot Ace cards will not be such a problem.

The Ace is the beginning of every suit in a Tarot deck. Thus, every suit is represented in its purest form by the Ace card. Something special is added to a Tarot reading with the presence of an Ace. Aces seem to have their own special significance and this is what makes them stand out from the rest of the cards in a Tarot deck.

Aces in a Tarot deck have similar images on them. The image present on these Aces depicts a hand…

Tarot Feature: The Contradiction of Court Cards

Posted by Wise Tarot on December 27, 2011 at 3:00pm 0 Comments

By Arlene McKanic

The Court Cards in the Tarot deck are often the most difficult cards for Tarot readers. They are often explained as the "personalities" of people involved in the reading. Some experts have given early and rigid definitions of personality archetypes, aligning them with significators—cards meant to stand in for the reader or another person (querent.) In some "systems" this includes appearance, others emphasize personality. When a court card appears in a reading, it is widely thought of as representing a person with those attributes.

Other readers interpret the courts differently, choosing instead to interpret the personality indicated as an idea rather than a person. So, for example, the King of Wands, generally held to be a…

Are you addicted to the read?

Posted by Wise Tarot on December 15, 2011 at 5:22pm 2 Comments

By Sharshar

It’s no secret that most of us at some point in our lives have wished we had psychic powers. Haven't you ever wished you could close your eyes, take a deep breath, and see what curveball life is throwing at you next? It sure would make the game easier to play, right?

Most of us are not blessed with the luxury of foresight, or this cheater’s advantage to counter the game of life, so this is where your trusted tarot card reader can come in handy. Your reader can gaze into the cards and give you a little sneak preview of what is to come, and admit it, when the predictions start revealing themselves as realities, it gives you a certain rush of adrenaline. It’s almost like being high on life, except you’re getting your rush from what life will offer in the…

Understanding Tarot: Symbols And Rituals

By 

One of the things that makes Tarot so popular is without a doubt the beautiful and detailed drawings on each card representing each of the major and minor arcana. But those images aren't there just to make a tarot reading an aesthetically pleasing experience. Each tarot deck is filled with symbolism, and each of the cards is a message on its own. While some of the symbols are universal, others belong to…
