Some decks live up to our expectations better than others. I feel like I’ve had several decks fall short of my hopes recently, and have been approaching new decks with a more skeptical eye as a result. But the Shadowland Tarot happily far, far exceeded my expectations and skated right into my top 5 decks for personal use.

Tarot Deck Review – The English Magic Tarot
Friends, I’d like to introduce you to the English Magic Tarot. Actually, I’m not introducing the English Magic Tarot in general – I’m introducing you to this deck specifically, the one in my pictures. Why? Because it’s not like other decks.

My magical working name is Macha – a Celtic earth Goddess who makes up one of the three aspects of the Morrigan. Macha’s familiars are crows and horses.

I have finally found my perfect tarot deck! (It only took 20+ years…) I had used the Morgan-Greer deck as my primary deck for 13 years, with the intent of eventually getting a deck that is a bit more suited to me, but had a hard time finding one that really spoke to me.
Last winter I was doing research for my second tarot workshop at UCMH, and I found a wonderful website called the Little Red Tarot. It’s an LGBTQ+ focused shop (and blog) that sells and promotes indie decks specifically. That’s where I found the Brady Tarot.
