The divine tarot is a deck of cards that is often used for divination and spiritual guidance. It is believed to have originated in the 15th century in Europe, although some claim its roots go back even further to ancient Egypt or China. The divine tarot consists of 78 cards, divided into the major arcana and the minor arcana. The major arcana consists of 22 cards, each representing a different archetype or spiritual concept. These cards depict powerful symbols and figures that hold deep meaning and can provide insight into the various aspects of life and spirituality. Each card in the major arcana has its own unique interpretation and significance, ranging from the Fool, representing new beginnings and spontaneity, to the World, symbolizing completion and wholeness.
Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani has become one of the magnificent tarot gems of 2020. And for me in particular, it’s a special kind of joy to encounter a fellow Asian American who is also into the tarot.
While I can t validate one way or the other how period-accurate the figure depictions are respective to each fairytale s culture of origin, I would say that the imagery will feel familiar. I believe there s a bigger and more in-depth book on the fairytales references in the deck, but I didn t receive that book for review, so I m only working from the little guidebook.
Each card in the major arcana has its own unique interpretation and significance, ranging from the Fool, representing new beginnings and spontaneity, to the World, symbolizing completion and wholeness. The minor arcana consists of four suits: cups, wands, swords, and pentacles. Each suit contains 14 cards, including ten numbered cards representing different aspects of human experience, and four court cards representing different personalities and roles.
Review: Tarot of the Divine
Hello! I am back and I would like to kick off with a post I’m highly excited to do: a deck review!
It’s been a while that I did this. Life got in the way, but you know, now that I have more time in my hands, I have no excuse to not write about some of the decks I have adopted over the year.
But Kat, shouldn’t the word be ‘acquired’, not ‘adopted’? Isn’t adopted usually a term for crystal buying?
Well, adopted isn’t exactly a term exclusive for that. Although decks are inanimate objects, I’d like to believe that objects, including the tools that we use for our craft have spirits residing in them; moreso if they have been made by hand with much dedication and thought. So, getting a deck for me is like having another child in my family.
Now, enough about me talking about my decks. Let’s talk more about the Tarot of the Divine.
Product photo of the Tarot of the Divine from Yoshi Yoshitani’s website.The Tarot of the Divine (also called the Fairytale Tarot) was created by Yoshi Yoshitani, an artist and illustrator based in California, U.S. The deck and the guidebook was patterned and inspired from deities, mythologies, folklore stories, and fairytales from all over the world.
The Tarot of the Divine’s deck, guidebook, and boxThe box is a book-type befitting the concept behind the deck. The deck backart is elegant with a nod to the phases of the moon. I personally see it as a thoughtful design as intuitive messages from our deities and guides waxes and wanes just like the moon. The guidebook is a short and concise with small details of the card, like the story and its country of origin, alongside corresponding art. Upright and inverted meanings are also included.
The minor arcana cards provide more specific guidance and interpretations related to everyday life, relationships, emotions, and challenges. The divine tarot is often used as a tool for divination, where a reader interprets the cards to gain insight into a person's past, present, or future situation. It can be used to seek guidance, explore options, and gain clarity on different aspects of life. The symbolism and imagery on the cards help the reader tap into their intuition and connect with spiritual energies. The divine tarot is not only used for divination but can also be a powerful tool for self-reflection and personal growth. The cards can serve as mirrors, reflecting our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences back to us. By exploring the meanings and messages of the cards, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Overall, the divine tarot is a mystical and powerful tool that has been used for centuries to provide guidance, insight, and spiritual enlightenment. Whether used for divination or personal growth, the divine tarot is a valuable resource that can offer clarity and guidance in various areas of life..
