Magic depilatory cream is a product that has gained popularity in recent years for its ability to remove unwanted hair effortlessly. This cream is specially formulated to dissolve the hair shaft, making it easy to wipe away without any pain or discomfort. One of the main advantages of using magic depilatory cream is its convenience. Unlike traditional methods like shaving or waxing, where one needs to go through a lengthy and often painful process, this cream can be easily applied and left on the skin for a few minutes. After the specified time, the user can simply wipe away the cream along with the dissolved hair, leaving the skin smooth and hair-free. Another benefit of using magic depilatory cream is that it is suitable for use on various parts of the body.
Since then Sterle’s tarot deck has become an incredibly inclusive fresh take on a tradition that’s been exclusionary to many folks. In the Modern Witch Tarot, more folks are able to see themselves in the cards, building deeper relationships with their practice. Sterle intended this deck to be a source of power for women and girls, clearly evident in the art choices she makes throughout the deck.
What sold this project to me was Sterle s amazing version of The Magician card featuring a young Black girl- something I d frankly never seen in before.

Tarot of the QTPOC Deck Review: Modern Witch Tarot
The Modern Witch Tarot is a fresh take on an ancient tradition.
It all began with the creation of the Ten of Swords card which was posted to Twitter by Lisa Sterle and immediately sparked the interest of tarot readers everywhere. It was clear even then there was something special about this new relatable rendition of the tarot.
What sold this project to me was Sterle’s amazing version of The Magician card featuring a young Black girl- something I’d frankly never seen in before. This was just around the beginning of the indie tarot deck boom, and we were yet to be spoiled by an influx of inclusive decks that crowdsourcing made possible.

The idea that there’s this wealth of power within you, that you just need to trust yourself to tap into, is an inspiring thought that also definitely ties into feminism for me. — An Interview with Lisa Sterle (Liminal 11)

Look & Feel:
The production quality of this deck is outstanding.
It comes with a gorgeous velvet tarot bag that would be almost unnecessary if it wasn’t embroidered so wonderfully because the box holding the deck is rock solid. The colorfully illustrated, two-piece box is blessedly easy to open and close and securely holds both the deck and guidebook with no issue. It’s got wonderful details, with the interior of both pieces covered in suit symbols- it’s details like this that charm, and you’ll find more attention to detail throughout the deck itself.
The deck’s guidebook is sized to fit in the box which y’all know by now is always a point of hallelujah for me. While the hardcover (yes, a hardcover LWB) is full color, the pages are black and white which doesn’t take away from the whole package in any way.
The card stock is #thicc.
When holding the deck in hand, you feel a substantial difference that usually only shows up in decks with larger-sized cards. I’ll note that it didn’t hinder me and my tiny hands from shuffling the deck because while the cardstock is hefty, the cards are standard sized and fit easily in my palms.
My one qualm with the card stock is that its glossy- but that is a teeny tiny qualm. Especially since that was probably an artistic choice to really bring out the pop art/comic book color palette and style Sterle uses throughout the deck. The gloss makes it so the cards sometimes stick together but because of the thickness of the card stock, they are easy to separate with little issue. Honestly, not enough of an issue to worry about it and with regular use, that stickiness should dissipate if not completely disappear.
All in all, the quality of this deck is undeniable and unquestionably intentional. You get the sense that there was thought in every little detail, which I can’t help but deeply appreciate.

Imagery & Content:
The art speaks for itself.
It’s gorgeous, color rich, and modern with a touch of vintage charm. Mixed in with known tarot symbols are modern accoutrements like cellphones and laptops. These additions don’t take away from the card meanings, if anything I find they add to the cards.
I think it’s brilliant that a new generation of tarot readers will be able to access the tradition with symbology that looks like their reality, not just those of the past. That mix of modern and traditional makes this a unique deck to read with. I can’t help but wish that I had a deck like this when I first started tarot- honestly my resistance to the RWS might have been substantially eased had I been able to see more of myself in the cards.
And that’s really the core of the Modern Witch Tarot, for women and femmes to see themselves represented in the cards; a deck that looks like its readers- across ages, bodies, races, and gender expressions. Sterle makes an interesting choice with gender, I noted. This deck is an ode to the feminine- all expressions of it, including non-binary iterations. It is an intentional prioritization and I don’t think that Sterle ever makes that ambiguous in any part of this deck.
In the description of the court cards, Sterle only uses ‘she’ and ‘they’ form of pronouns with the Page & Queen referred to with ‘she’ and the Knight and King referred to as ‘they’. Not to say that non-women or non-femmes can’t read with the deck, not at all, just pointing out that there is a particular project in the Modern Witch Tarot: a spotlight on the power of women and femmes to reflect and affect both their destinies and that of the world.
art that asks questions, from the Modern Witch Tarot
I do have to admit that there were cards that I didn’t at all take to. Particularly the Strength card. Seeing Black or dark-skinned femmes of color in this card is very “florals for spring, how groundbreaking” for me. Devil Wears Prada references aside, it’s actually a pretty disturbing trend in tarot decks that I’ve painfully noticed.
In fact, I think I’ll have to write up a post examining this issue across decks more closely because it really is shocking how often this happens-look through your own collection and see- even with the best of intentions. The conflation of Black women and Strength (and also the suits of Wands and Pentacles) stemming from the “strong black woman” stereotype is harmful. It dehumanizes us, robs us of the space to be vulnerable and positions us as the world’s burden bearers.
I know it may sound like those of us asking for representation are constantly moving the finish line but is that really a bad thing?
How far is too far to ask for our humanity to be represented without harm? We’re slowly moving from whitewashing and tokenism, and now that we’re here it’s still imperative to improve. The work is not done until it’s done.
Despite my visceral reaction to the Strength card, I will say that Sterle does include cards that rarely if ever have Black or dark-skinned femmes like The Magician and Temperance, to name just a few. In fact, it was The Magician that first drew me to this deck- a version of Black girl magic that didn’t feel token or gimmicky. I’m glad that there are more decks working to be inclusive- I am also asking that creators continue to do better with nuances.

Additionally, magic depilatory cream is often enriched with moisturizing ingredients that help nourish the skin while removing hair. This ensures that the skin remains hydrated and soft after the hair removal process. However, it is important to note that individual experiences with magic depilatory cream may vary. Some users may have sensitive skin that could react to the chemicals present in the cream. Therefore, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of the skin before applying the cream to larger areas. In conclusion, magic depilatory cream offers a convenient and painless way to remove unwanted hair from different parts of the body. Its ease of use, versatility, and moisturizing benefits make it a popular choice among individuals looking for effective hair removal solutions. However, it is essential to consider individual skin sensitivities and perform a patch test before using this cream..
Reviews for "Why Magic Depilatory Cream is the Perfect Solution for Busy Individuals"
1. Jane - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magic Depilatory Cream. First of all, it didn't remove the hair as effectively as it claimed. I had to leave it on for much longer than the recommended time, and even then, I still had patches of hair left. Secondly, the cream has a strong chemical smell that was very unpleasant and lingered on my skin even after I washed it off. Overall, I would not recommend this product as it did not deliver on its promises and had some unpleasant side effects.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Depilatory Cream, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The cream was very messy to apply and did not spread evenly on my skin. I had to use a lot of product to cover the desired area, which is quite expensive considering the small size of the tube. Additionally, the cream caused some redness and irritation on my skin, which was uncomfortable and lasted for a few days. I also didn't find the hair removal results to be long-lasting. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not repurchase it.
3. Sarah - 1 star - I had a terrible experience with the Magic Depilatory Cream. Not only did it fail to remove the hair effectively, but it also caused a severe allergic reaction on my skin. Within minutes of applying the cream, my skin started burning and turned bright red. I had to immediately wash it off and apply soothing creams to calm down the irritation. I would strongly advise against using this product, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions. This was a complete waste of money for me.
