The Wild Unknown Pocket Animal Spirit Deck Hardcover – October 25, 2022

The media could not be loaded. Very nice artwork and thoroughly insightful book meanings. It’s smollish but I like them that way so it saves me space during my readings. Good quality and easy to shuffle. Cute box. Would recommend!

I love Kim Krans' art style - The Wild Unknown Tarot was actually my first tarot deck, so I was really excited to get this one too. This little animal spirit deck comes in a small tin that's super cute and perfect for travel. You could honestly take it anywhere.The cards are sturdy, and the tin itself is really unique and eye-catching. What really surprised me was how packed the guidebook is - it goes deep into the meaning of each card, way more than I expected for something pocket-sized. I absolutely love her work and highly recommend this deck to anyone drawn to animal symbolism or intuitive readings.

Perfect size for my small hands. I LOVE pocket decks now. This deck is gorgeously illustrated and the book is illuminating. Adore it. One of my daily go-tos.The tin is my favorite!

I have been wanting this deck for a long time, but I always found it difficult to handle because of its size. No reflection on its quality of course. So when I saw this smaller size I was instantly sold. The iridescent tin is gorgeous and will keep the cards safe for a long time to come. The cards feel great in the hand and can be shuffled easily, this size can be tucked in your bag and taken anywhere. Last but not least, the artwork, because of it graphic quality and spare design looks even better in the smaller size. No detail is lost . They made a great deck even better. An all around win.

Love these cards! I feel a strong connection with them. The messages are helpful for self guiding, mostly positive, encouraging, self reflective meanings.

Firstly, I wanted to start by saying that I really appreciated the artwork and what Kim was going for while making this deck; I’m a huge fan of watercolors being incorporated into tarot so I appreciated seeing that. But unfortunately, that was the only thing I liked about this deck.The definitions for each animal kind of threw me off, as I had no clue where she was getting some of these meanings from, associated with each animal. Like for ex- the Owl. She talked about wealth and abundance coming in, which was surprising to me as intuitively, the artwork, and the animal didn’t really give off that vibe. Now, I know each person is different, and maybe that’s how she viewed owls, but something about the deck is… odd, and off. It kind of feels like she put random meanings in the guidebook, but behind the scenes- the energy gave something else (and I’m extremely intuitive and psychic. The energy behind the deck and for each card was throwing me off. It didn’t match the guidebook or the images) Some of the cards (like the panther and tarantula one) are super off putting. When those came out, i literally gasped and cringed and was taken aback, which is rare for me. And after that- I just got kind of weird vibes from the deck. I’ve had shadow work type decks that still feel… loving, if that makes sense. This deck is depicted as one way, but is actually another way. It feels like the energy of it, doesn’t resonate with what she was attempting to display. And the raccoon card- the definition just made no sense whatsoever, like most of the cards. Again, I feel like she was displaying one thing, but her energy and intent was completelyyy different- but that’s just my own intuitive feelings. She could be into spiritual ideologies and practices that I am not into, so the energy was felt- for me at least.Now when I bought the deck, I saw the few reviews and pictures and was fascinated by the artwork alone. But after sitting with the energy of it- it’s just a weird vibe attached to it. So, to each their own. I don’t know who Kim is as a person, and maybe her vibes just don’t resonate with mine. It is what it is. Funnily enough, I saw a review like mine about one of her other decks- interesting.EDIT.So before having the chance to return them, I sat with them a little bit, and - I actually like how the energy opened up to me. Mmmm, at first, they were strange; but upon using them more- I grew to like them. Now, I will be returning for the sake of not particularly Liking animal oracle decks- they never seem to resonate with me. But as far as my previous experience with them… they did grow on me energetically in a weird way lol. I dig the cards but also intrigued by them- so hard to explain.

The deck came with a pocket book (I already had the book) and I absolutely adore the deck! Good energy, easy guidebook.

I find these cards relevant and useful.They are accessible, even to beginners exploring of divining arts.I recommend reading the beginning of the booklet to get familiar with the structure.From there, a thorough mixing of the card can be accomplished, maybe scattered and mixed face down on a clear tabletop. Once gathered back together, take a few slow breaths and open up to a clear mind, and shuffle. Stop shuffling when inclined to do so. Do not ignore any cards that fall during the shuffle, these signal special importance.I do wish the booklet were better indexed. I compensated byI placing small sticky post-its with symbol written on each of the 5 groupings of cards.These a a high recommend
