Spiritsong Tarot

This deck is a fresh take on the tarot. It can be read as an animal oracle deck and it doesn’t take away from the standard tarot reading. It completely removes the human element of the tarot by changing the suits to acorns (wands/fire), feathers (swords/air), crystals (pentacles/coins/earth) and shells (cups/water). The artwork is absolutely stunning. Its a nice pastel deck that gives very peaceful readings. I love that this deck has the element symbol on each of the minor arcana cards as well as two key words. These are linked to traditional tarot meanings as well as the animals in each card. Pauline has done a fantastic job carefully selecting which animal represents which card and it works really well. This is the best animal tarot deck i’ve come across so far. It works really well. The card stock is perfect, it shuffles so well and fans out beautifully. The only thing I don’t like is the US Games copyright on the back of the cards. But they’ve printed it on the top and the bottom so the cards can be read reversals, and the guidebook even includes reversal meanings. I really enjoy this deck and have had very strong readings for both myself and others with it.

Beautiful illustrations and useful info for tarot

gorgeous cards, love to look at them

This deck has warranted my very first review. Pre ordered these and expected them to arrive a lot sooner, but all good things come to those that wait! Another beautifully illustrated deak of cards from Paulina Cassidy. Absolutely delighted with this set. Nice card stock and gorgeous artwork on the back of cards also. This set comes in a very sturdy box which is ideal to keep the cards from being damaged, and a delightful booklet companion booklet is included. This is a very gentle tarot deck, anyone wishing to begin with tarot and has a love of the animal kingdom, this would be a great set to use.The death card has been replaced with a transformation card. Transformation for transition and liberation, which is exactly how this card should be read. The deck is worth getting for the artwork alone, as Paulina's is unique. You can feel the love in this deck. The traditional suites have been changed to Acorns representing wands, Feathers representing air, Shells represent water and Crystals represent the earth. I love this deck! Rumour has it she may have another deck in the pipeline. I will definitely be pre ordering it!

I made the right decision getting this set of card! It is the most amazing thing and I love it very much. The soft colour and the drawing and painting of each card is so delicate and thoughtful. I connected with it from the first time I opened the box. This is such a good card if you want something very positive something to motivate you or remind you of each day. I don't read for other people so this card is perfect for me.

A very sweet, pretty deck. I use this often on my YouTube channels’The Tarot Therapist’ and ‘Onora Tarot’ should you want to see them in action. The imagery is stunning. Doesn’t offer me personally more insight as it’s animals which I don’t see as a spirit animal in this deck more of just a nice picture. These are my travel go to deck as they’re a good size, I take these and one other. However, I do use them daily, so overall I would recommend. Good size, traditional tarot, glossy finish, quite lightweight, were quite sharp edges on first use, had a few ‘ouch’ paper cut moments, but fine now. Overall a great deck, especially for travelling readers. Onora💚

The artwork is amazing, really. The cards shuffle well and they're on the big side. The accompanying book is very useful and the spreads inside are very nice to try on yourself or others. However, this is more like an affirmation deck or oracle deck. Everything is positive, which is great when you need a gentle message, but not realistic for every day readings.

Paulina's best deck so far for me. I can feel the love she has poured into this creation. Very skilful art work too. She captures the spirit of the animals she depicts and for me they leave a lasting impression in my mind and heart. I love them, they feel like dear friends already and I find them very easy and clear to read with. They have also inspired me to do research on many of the animals. This deck has many layers of meaning and opens your mind in a gentle way to new perspectives.

Good quality images.

Precioso 💖

These are gorgeous and beautifully designed cards.

I have to admit, this deck EXCEEDED my expectations. I expected soft and beautiful watercolor/ink images of animals, but the deck is so beautifully executed, printed (the colors are soft, but still very vibrant), and clever that I am just blown away. It's based on RW, but reimagined with the characteristics (both physical and symbolically, drawn from many traditions) of animals. It's definitely a positive and gentle deck- there are definitions for card reversals, but the way the deck is designed is that an animal appears in a reading to guide you through whatever you are facing, good or bad. The cards are on lovely sturdy cardstock, mostly matte, and are a little hard to shuffle at first but break in pretty quickly. The printing is beautiful- I especially love that the background and border for each image is slightly different- some cards are ecru, some a pale blue, some a very very pale green, some off white, etc. I love the look it gives the cards. The cards also feature two keywords on the bottom- normally I'm not a fan of that because I read intuitively, but since this deck is a slightly different take on traditional tarot and tarot imagery, I find the keywords useful. The little white book is 105 pages and nicely bound with full-color covers. It features definitions for each of the cards, reverse message, plus keywords for both the card and reverse. It's a *little* too sweet for me (every animal used its positive attributes to guide you and assist you) but I think if you combine it with a basic level of tarot card meanings, you can do some great readings with it. If you are new to tarot and are a little put off by things like the "death" card and "devil" card- this deck doesn't have them. It's a completely gentle deck, and I would recommend it for kids, if they are asking for a deck of their own. I can't recommend this deck enough- originally I purchased it because it looked pretty and I don't have any animal-based decks in my collection (not a fan of photo-realism or cartoon imagery) but it's really exceeded my expectations and I'm so excited to learn how to read with it. I mainly use tarot and oracle decks as a tool for meditation and insight (I'm Buddhist and usually align the meanings of the cards with key themes in Buddhist philosophy and practice- so I use the cards to "quiz" myself on my Buddhist practice as well as get some insight into looking at things from a different perspective) and I know I'll be reaching for this deck often- nothing but positive energy. I can't recommend this deck enough.

This deck!! There's nothing bad that I can say about it. The animals are so mindfully and carefully chosen. The meanings are entrenched in both scientific and cultural knowledge. And the card stock is amazing. A bit cardboard-y and glossy, but it holds up really well to rough shuffling. It is reversible. The US games logo is visible on the back, but it's too small to be a distraction. Yes, the card imagery does seem busy. But, this is pastel-hued, beautiful detailing that is easy on the eyes. It's not a particularly easy deck to read because it lacks a lot of contextual imagery. But with a bit of effort, you can learn to read the cards well. The best part about this deck is that you can use it as both a tarot deck and animal oracle deck. I do the same. Considering its relatively low cost - this is the most-reasonably priced deck that I bought in india - this deck is perfect if you are on a budget and can't purchase two decks, but want to work with both tarot and Oracle cards. Another plus point - this deck's imagery is really gentle. It doesn't contain any negative imagery that many other decks have. You can use this deck on children or clients who have faced trauma, without affecting them negatively. But don't worry, the messages given by this deck aren't too soft either. This deck has been to-the-point and given me loads of actionable insights. A definite must pick for those who like practicing animal based cartomancy.
