A little review/post for 'The Change Tarot' deck by Jessica Dore and Xaviera Lopez published by @hayhouse

Lovely colour scheme and use of the Rider-Waite-Smith symbology scheme

Today's card is the Knight of Wands. Impulsivenes

Today's card is the Knight of Wands.

Impulsiveness, passion, go-getting and this all links with me reframing a lot that was going on in my head and how I feel about certain aspects of my life.

But again I have to resist the 'act now think later' urge I often have, temper that energy that often makes me run full into things and use it constructively.

Just starting to get around to using the new deck

Just starting to get around to using the new deck I received called The Change Tarot.

This part is where I draw five cards to get a feel for the deck.

What is the energy of the deck?
This was the Two of Cups, which lets me know that the decks energy is about making connections, trust, and harmony.

What is my initial energy when I interact with this deck?
This was the Knight of Cups, which was probably referring to my love of the design and muted palette, using the Rider-Waite-Smith iconography but having a cooler colour scheme.

What might I learn about myself when using this deck?
This is the Eight of Wands, this deck could let me know more about the energy and need to keep moving forward and the need to do something.

What kind of growth might this deck inspire in me?
This is the Page of Wands, this deck could give me inspiration and help me get toward that growth I'm always after.

Card of the day
This is the Nine of Swords, talks about my feelings of depression, anxiety, and fears and that these are weighing on me at the moment and to not let these worries become self-fulfilling.

I'll be using this for my daily reads for the rest of the week and putting up a review on the blog and Waterstones at the end of the week.
