White Sage Tarot In A Tin Cards – November 30, 2018

Okay first off, I would first like to thank the artist of the deck for replying to my Instagram post. I left her a thank you for her making the deck and my thoughts and it turned into a conversation. We chatted for about 45 minutes about how the deck was created and it was an amazing experience to be able to talk to the person behind the story. This deck will now always hold a place in my heart and be my go to deck. The message of the deck is very light and fluffy because she wanted a deck that children could use if they like and it dosent have anything daunting or violent kind of like skills representing death and certain things like that. For all the people who wanted to be critical of her art work I'm not bashing anyone but if you actually took the time to get to know the deck before dismissing things not just on amazon but on youtube as well you would have an experience like I had.She said that every animal in the deck she has either encountered in real life or in a dream and that was the inspiration for the cards. I'm not going to leave our entire conversation here but I want enough of it so you get some of the back ground of the deck.She said the fool and the high priestess are both her own personal animalsthe wands actually sparked the interest of her making the deck when she got pussy willows from her husband on valentines day and when she drew them they looked like wands on a tarot deck.Sand dollars came from when they would walk along the beach in japan and pick up sand dollars.The cups were inspired by her wedding cups when her and her husband got married. She told me she chose the serpent around the tree as a devil card because of a dream she had about a snake coming and telling her we latch onto toxic things too tightly. (I"m not going to take the fun away from her if she does decide to do the suggestion I mentioned of her making a full color companion book of the deck) But you get the idea of what she was talking about when she got inspiration for certain things of the deck.One thing I love is I'm dyslexic so roman numerals are a joke to me and most tarot decks actually run off of the roman numeral system and as you can see from the pictures I took the major arcana have an american numbering system. which is amazing Thank you so much for that. Also some people complained about there being a really thick white line when their all up right and yes it does. But as you can see when you shuffle them and mix reversals with the uprights the line fades so you don't need to edge your deck. Plus thanks to U.S. games they put the logo on both opposing corners so you cant tell what your getting, that makes this my now go to deck. I love how small it is and I believe every deck oracle or tarot should have a tin version for people to carry around especially if were teaching the younger generation how to read tarot they can use their small hands with small cards.All in all I love the playful nature she put into the cards like her saying most of the dream quality feeling that you get is because some of the cards she actually got in a dream. I did ask her about the moons on the cards that not all cards had moon phases and she said that was all intuitive for her. I asked her if it was more of a thing where you should have this feeling for a season or a call to action for a certain amount of time she said she didn't know but it was thought provoking. So i take that as a use that as you will. Again I thank her so much for this cute and fun deck and the chance to get to sit down and talk to her for about 45 minutes which I wasn't expecting. Shes is a very down to earth person and it reflects in her cards. I hope you all choose to get this deck and add it to your collection or get it for your kids if they want to learn. I don't feel that this deck is an expert or a beginners deck. I learned off of decks like these so its more if your going to learn tarot pick a deck and start some where. Don't let other people opinions put you off learning from a deck you want to learn from. Thanks again for reading this review and thanks to the author of the deck for spending time with me even my husband thought that was amazing and he likes the deck so much more now than he did when he saw the art work online.

I bought a bunch of tarot and oracle decks at the same time, and use this one the most. I like it a lot and I think it likes me! LOL We have great "conversations." I'm still a beginner so please keep in mind this review is from that standpoint. I read only for myself, mostly for fun but also to improve my intuition. I shuffle the cards and see what jumps out. I tend to obsess over the same topics, and ask the same questions, and the same cards will jump out days and weeks later! (After that happened more than a few times, I started thinking about Tarot more seriously.) The deck keeps me honest, too - if I try to game the system by ignoring certain cards, they'll also jump out again later on. I haven't done much with the chakra aspect as I don't feel I'm at that level yet. The illustrations are soft and cheerful, but supportive. There are otters! Very easy to shuffle, especially for someone with small hands. The booklet is well-written and does not under- or over-explain the cards, which means a) I'm not totally lost, and b) learn something while having to think for myself. Now I understand what it means to have a tarot deck "speak" to you. It's really cool! I hope you'll check out this nice little deck, if it fits your style.

LOVE, love, love this HIGH-vibration deck. Beautiful illustrations, perfect card stock and size for my hands. Just shuffled multiple times and ended up getting The Sun 5 times!!! Stunned. A fabulous deck.-Leslie

This deck has a soft, gentle, warm feeling, like snuggling under a cozy blanket with a hot beverage and a good book. I wanted something that feels kind, and this deck delivered.I will say the images don’t have the many layers of symbolism you find in a traditional RW deck. A RW High Priestess, for example, has at least twelve symbolic images, each with layered meanings of their own. In this deck, we have a calico cat on a blue cushion with a moon on her forehead. The magician is even simpler: a feather above an eye. This is a detriment if you’re looking for deep symbolism in the imagery, but not if you already feel you know the card meanings well, want something simplified, or are just hoping for some lovely art.The author also added in chakras for each card, blending the color into the card art and adding some explanation in the booklet and reference cards. This is a neat extra dimension.The cards handle like regular playing cards, being the same size and weight. Having gotten and returned other “novelty” decks before for their poor quality card stock, I was very pleased with the quality of these. The size works perfectly with their gentle feel, fitting easily in the hands. I also appreciate the lovely little tin they come in.All in all, this is a very sweet deck. I enjoy holding and considering these cards, flipping through them, and drawing them. I wish the imagery could have been a little more complex while still retaining its softness, if only so I’d have more reason to ponder them longer, but I understand the simplicity the artist was going for. Don’t buy them looking for secrets in the imagery itself, but do buy them for the friendly feeling they have.

Every single morning, I sit and read tarot with this White Sage deck before any others of my collection. It's my single early morning tarot deck <3 because it really, truly is so endlessly peaceful, fair, disarming, purifying, and everyday. It is grounding, recharging, cozy, kind-hearted, intuitive, compassionate, and a real tribute to the beauty of life, time, and nature, as loved by a given human. You can tell- and you can feel with every use- that all the love, care, and patience in the world went into making these cards. And it's like a gift to use them every time.They're precious and profoundly clarifying.
