The Midnight Magic Tarot is a deck of tarot cards that features a unique and enchanting design. Created by artist and illustrator Linda Ravenscroft, this deck is known for its mystical and captivating imagery. Each card in the Midnight Magic Tarot deck is carefully crafted to reflect a feeling of magic and mystery. The illustrations are rich in symbolism and detail, allowing for a deeper exploration of the tarot's meaning and interpretation. The deck follows the traditional structure of the tarot, consisting of 78 cards divided into two major arcana and four minor arcana suits: cups, pentacles, swords, and wands. The major arcana cards represent significant life events and spiritual lessons, while the minor arcana cards delve into the everyday experiences and challenges we encounter.
Also the National Trust and local Countryside Services put on a variety of walks, talks, fun days and activities throughout the year.
Most local areas have meetings of some kind, many are held monthly in local pubs or cafes, some are in members homes, others are less frequent and might involve walks, picnics or countryside clean-up activities. SHEFFIELD Albion Moot meets at the Harlequin pub on the 1st Thursday each month; there is a coffee moot at the top of Fargate on the 1st Sunday each month and Pagan Pathways have talks discussions at Airy Fairy on London Rd every other Tuesday.
The major arcana cards represent significant life events and spiritual lessons, while the minor arcana cards delve into the everyday experiences and challenges we encounter. One of the standout features of the Midnight Magic Tarot is its use of color and contrast. The cards are predominantly dark and shadowy, with pops of vibrant colors that catch the eye and draw the viewer in.
North East
PF North East is a large geographical area stretching from Scotland in the north to Derbyshire in the south and from the east coast to Lancashire. There are five Regions – Northumbria, North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and South Yorkshire-with-North-Lincs, each one with a Regional Coordinator and at least one Local Coordinator whose main responsibility is making contact with PF members in their area.
There are so many interesting sites throughout this District – monoliths, mounds, turf mazes, stone circles, springs, wells and numerous natural features worthy of a visit – it has been difficult to select just three.
Blakey Topping – a mound on the Yorkshire Wolds
The Devil’s Arrows, large standing stones next to the A1 at Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire.
Ilkley & Rombalds Moor in West Yorkshire – the Twelve Apostles (previously known as the Druidical Dial) stone circle, plus many carved stones eg Badger, Swastika.
Details of the above – and many more – can be found in Julian Cope’s “Modern Antiquarian”.

Reviews for "Tarot Magick Unleashed: Midnight Magic Tarot Revealed"
- Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Midnight Magic Tarot deck. The artwork looked promising, but in person, it felt cheap and poorly executed. The colors were dull and lifeless, lacking the vibrancy and depth I was expecting. The cardstock was flimsy and felt like it would bend easily with regular use. Overall, the quality of this deck didn't match the price tag, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a visually appealing and well-made tarot deck.
- John - 1 out of 5 stars - I found the Midnight Magic Tarot to be incredibly confusing and hard to read. The imagery on the cards was supposed to represent different meanings, but it was difficult to understand the connection between the artwork and the traditional tarot interpretations. The guidebook that came with the deck didn't provide sufficient explanations or interpretations, leaving me feeling lost and frustrated. It's a shame because I was excited to explore this deck, but it ended up being a waste of money for me.
- Emma - 2 out of 5 stars - The Midnight Magic Tarot didn't resonate with me at all. The artwork felt too dark and gloomy, which made it difficult for me to connect with the cards and their meanings. The deck claimed to blend modern elements with traditional tarot symbolism, but I found the execution to be confusing and lacking cohesiveness. The guidebook was somewhat helpful, but it didn't compensate for the overall lack of appeal and resonance I experienced with this deck. I can understand why some people might appreciate its aesthetic, but it just wasn't for me.
- Michael - 3 out of 5 stars - While the Midnight Magic Tarot had some interesting artwork and unique designs, I found the card interpretations to be too abstract and subjective. It was challenging to connect with the cards and understand their meanings without projecting my own biases onto them. Additionally, the cardstock quality was subpar, and the cards felt flimsy and cheap in my hands. Overall, I had mixed feelings about this deck, but I can see why it might appeal to those who enjoy more artistic and unconventional tarot interpretations.
