Moody Decks Make Me Happy
As I was walking through the NW Tarot Symposium, the name ‘Pensive Path’ passed by me, hanging from a woman’s lanyard with antique images all around it.
The name resonated because it is so similar to my own, and the images impelled me to stop and ask her about it.
It turned out to be Reese Marren, a deck designer at The Curated Card. She pulls together meaningful decks from hours of digging through old art resources.
Ridiculous Deck Flip Through
When I was in elementary school, I loved the grotesque humor of the Garbage Pail Kids. Snot dripping, vomit spewing, head-bursting, skin melting grossness. It was kid humor heaven.
My mom, however, did not approve. Probably for good reason. There was a lot of unhealthy social mockery and cartoonish violence in them for sure.
Well, now I am an adult and I do-what-I-want, MOM! I gave in and splurged the $25 for the official Garbage Pail Kids Tarot Deck.
It has a book written by a legit pro tarot reader, Minerva Siegel, so I felt validated. The deck also does a decent job translating the original Waite-Smith Symbolism into the grody theme.
Deck-adent Tarot
This week, I share with you a view into my favorite new deck, The Tarot of Mystical Moments by Catrin Welz-Stein.
It more than satisfies for myself as a reader. However, it’s also not an easy starter deck. The images don’t wholly express the meanings of each card. Many are very simple in their symbolism.
That is why it adds so much to your life as a lover of meaningful art to really learn the 78 cards of the traditional Tarot. Once you grasp the essence of each card, which I teach you how to do in my upcoming online live course, you can read with any deck that you feel drawn to.
This might very well be the last chance to get this class live in-person with me! Early bird rate ends Monday.
Tarot Noir: A Free Reading & Flip Through
I love old movies and books as much as I love Tarot.
(I guess I am a true Cancerian).
So I was giddy when I found this new deck (already sold out!) by Todd Alcott that merges the Smith-Rider-Waite deck and art reminiscent of classic cinema posters, old Mad Men era advertising, and, of course, pulp novel covers.

Sovereign Oracle Deck
Theresa Pridemore has released 3 expansion decks for her word-based oracle deck. This is an accessible deck for a wordsmith or someone who is interested in divination, but not keen to dive into the depths of symbology.
