Modern Witch Tarot Cards – 19 Nov. 2019

I was looking for a modern set of cards for meditative purposes ie not oracular cards, just the standard major and minor arcana to use as a focus to think about whatever issue crops up in a day. The images had to be nothing too woo-woo & really not too much cultural appropriation or twee.These are a modern re-interpretation, mostly images with women, some non-binary images but all very clean and simple illustrations making them relatively easy to read without too much reference.They are slightly too large for my hands to shuffle easily, but they feel constructively neutral with decent thick card and backing.I ordered three sets, unable to make a choice online and happy to offer the others as a gift: these felt the cleanest.

I have quite a few Tarot Packs and favour the Pamela Coleman Smith/Rider Waite as it gives good results. However, many packs are based on Coleman Smith’s style, as this Modern Witch Tarot is. It mainly features strong role model type of women and is fresh and youthful. I applaud the strong purposeful looking woman, as many Tarot woman are disappointingly weak, all white and ‘wafty’ Looking as though a puff of wind would annihilate them!A pleasure to use, although the little book seems way off the mark and I couldn’t make my mind up whether it was being humorous or not? You’d need to buy a few thorough books on Tarot if you are a beginner, although the pictures themselves might display their meaning to you, and this is the simplest and best way of understanding the cards.

I bought these cards because I loved the concept of diversifying an otherwise very white-dominated space and the illustrations on these cards are absolutely stunning. I also found the little guidebook super easy to understand and flick through if you want to clarify the meaning of the cards and look at the specific symbolism, but I wouldn't say it's the most comprehensive guide. My only other criticism would be is the cards are difficult to shuffle due to their size - this isn't too much of a problem for me because I just shuffle them on a table rather than in my hands but it's something to be noted. For me, these cards are more for admiring than using every single day - but I still enjoy them a lot and don't regret buying them!

Beautiful deck. I love the designs and have never resonated with a deck so much, it is based of the rider Waite tarot so it is perfect for beginners. The only possible inconvenience (you get used to it quite quickly) is the cards are super thick and can be difficult to shuffle at once but you can just split it in half and shuffle it separately. Other than that it is super beautiful and the box is adorable and the attention to detail is amazing. I love the drawings and would totally buy from this creator if the were to ever create a new deck.

I love this deck! The card stock is excellent and has a real glossy feel. The box is compact and easy to store. The little book included gives some cute insights to the cards if you aren’t a confident reader. The colours and imagery are a fresh and modern interpretation or the rider waite, so again make it a really easy to read deck. It’s a very powerful fem deck, full of girl power - which I totally love and I love the diversity of characters. I find it gives really sassy, honest readings.

I consider it the best mass-market deck available. Inclusive, diverse and far removed from the white male-dominated RWS decks. I couldn't ask for more. The box and card quality are excellent as is the mini guidebook. Readings so far have been on the money and I can highly recommend the journal and colouring book that can be purchased separately.

After being duped by a counterfeit deck I bought the real thing and I couldn't be happier! Yes, the cards are slightly to thick to shuffle but its not impossible! Don't let that put you off buying these cards! I also bought the colouring book and journal today because I was so impressed with the deck. The only design flaw for me is how the box closes. It slides out from the bottom meaning that if you pick the box up without supporting the bottom the cards could easily fall out. Other than that im one happy witch!

I ordered this for myself as a Christmas gift and I'm so happy I did! The art is lovely and I particularly like the storage, which is a box that stands up right with a lid that slots down vertically. A lot of other decks I have lay flat and to open them you need to pull the lid off from the top. I always feel that decks with that design make the cards fit so snuggly, due to them almost being the same size as the box, that it's a struggle trying to get them in and out. The way this deck is set up is a lot easier and even with the little book included has a lot room inside which means that is never an issue!
