The Shamanic Medicine Oracle Cards, by Barbara Meiklejohn-Free and Flavia Kate Peters, artwork by Yuri Leitch takes us on a beautiful journey. Despite it’s Blue Angel girth, the cards still shuffles like an absolute dream. I appreciate the guidebook’s format and the beautiful artwork.

There’s something deep and carnal about the Delta Enduring Tarot deck. It haunts, it beckons you to shuffle it over and over (more on that later), and it is utterly beautiful. I jumped in late on purchasing this deck, as it wasn’t even on my radar until after it was released in December 2017. There was a Kickstarter for this deck that I somehow did not know about – which is a good thing because I would have literally died from anticipation waiting for this gem to be released.
The deck creator Egan wrote a beautifully written guidebook. The book is in English and 153 pages long. There’s one spread and all the meanings include reversals. The book is a separate purchase, but I believe is a worthwhile expense to go with this unique deck. The meanings are deep and offers a new spin on the old, standard meanings, which I really appreciate.
The deck is standard tarot sized and tends to follow the Rider Waite Smith system, albeit there are some additional cards to the deck mix, such as The Termite Swarm, Mardi Gras, The Hurricane, and the Heat. There are also some changes to the major arcana names, such as Harm Reduction for Temperance and the Levee for the Tower.
The shuffibility of this deck is amazing. In my video review, I was hesitant to riffle shuffle my new Delta Enduring Tarot because I was concerned I would harm the backs of the cards. I have to be more gentle on my independent decks because a) the creators may only do one print run and I will not be able to get a replacement; b) the card backs are gentle and can be easily damaged; and c) independent decks are expensive. After the initial few over hand shuffles featured on my unboxing video, I dived into riffle shuffling and this bitch just sings! The cards easily shuffle and from what I can tell, without damaging the gorgeous card backs. Have you ever shuffled a deck and it felt like it was buttery flapjacks easily falling on top of one another – this is this deck! It shuffles like a dream.
The card stock is above average, in terms of ease of shuffling. It appears to have a smooth finish, and slightly more on the glossy side. There are borders, but I do not mind them, as they frame the images nicely. Some might take issue with the borders, but to each his own. The deck is also average tarot size, which is helpful in shuffling the cards.
The deck has a good mix of animals, humans and objects as the subject matter in the tarot cards.
This deck is a modern narrative of the Delta experience. It is hot, spicy, painful, joyful, and really does cover the gamut of the tarot experience. Having spent many summers near the Delta, I can personally say this deck has successfully captured the essence of the spirit of this region. The mysticism, the good food, the fearful moments juxtaposed against the joyful times, all are encapsulated in this deck. It is exactly what I hoped for in a modern day, melanated deck. I can tell Egan put their heart and soul into this deck, bringing the Delta experience to all of us who know it and those of us who do not know the magic and the pain of this region of America.
The deck can be viewed and purchased on the Egan’s website at deltaenduring.com.

Every now and then a deck comes along and haunts you, taunting you to buy it. That was this deck for me. I watched many videos, had many Amazon ads entice me, until several months later I finally broke down for a Black Friday sale and purchased it. I am drawn to its Tim Burton art style, the unique take on the RWS system’s meanings, and it has a decidedly cool factor going on.
Created by Cristina Benintende, this 78 deck It is standard Lo Scarabeo card stock and It has a little, multi-lingual white book. I’ll admit, I have not worked much with this deck, as the purpose of me getting it was for the heartbroken and grief stricken seekers/readings. I may do another follow up review of this deck in the future to share how we’ve been getting along.
Do you have this deck? What are your thoughts and what types of readings do you do with it?

Hey There ~ I was under the weather during the filming of this video and feeling like crap – but not bad enough to miss a trip to my mailbox up the street. In bathrobe, sneezing and coughing, I went outside to collect my packages. What came in the mail was my New Orleans Pocket Tarot, Ibiza Tarot: The Oracle of Tanit, and a Tarot Flip Deck Case to keep my tarot deck safe in my backpack or purse from being banged up.

I unboxed Denise Linn’s Sacred Traveler Oracle Deck this week and must say that I am impressed. This 52 card deck and guidebook, published by Hay House, artwork by Nick C. Welch and Jesse Reisch, is a deck that really does give you signs or messages that you are moving in the right direction. The box is matte, as are the cards. The cards are standard Hay House sized and shuffles nicely. There were a few small knicks on a couple of the backs of the cards, but I can live with them.
I’ve owned Sacred Traveler since Halloween, which was two days ago, and already I’ve played with it multiple times. It is that good. The guidebook has several spreads and lists the card meanings alphabetically. The guidebook’s message has a black and white representation at the top of the page, epigraph, the card’s meaning, and what does the Sacred Traveler want you to know. Let’s just the cards are predictive and most definitely prescriptive. Right out of the box I was able to start playing with them, even without consulting the enchanting guidebook.
What are your thoughts? Are you planning on getting this deck or do you already have it? How are you incorporating it into your spiritual practice?
