It’s finally October! My favorite month of all time. This is when I go into full on nesting mode – I’ve stocked up on puzzles to do over the winter and I’ve got a stack of books waiting patiently on my coffee table. If I have to go into lockdown this Winter, I’m all set.
I’m using the Dark Mansion Tarot for this week’s reading…
The Emotion Energy Oracle is a unique deck of cards, designed to stimulate intuition, feeling and contemplation. I find they work nicely as a one card, daily draw first thing in the morning or in the evening after a long day of bullshit.
Card stock is good quality – thick, sturdy and with a nice matte finish. Cards come in a nice box and the guidebook is available online.
I highly recommend getting a card stand to go with your deck – I didn’t think I’d use mine but I do everyday. It’s really nice to have a way to properly prop up a card on my desk or altar and my cats are 80% less likely to knock it over this way. Tarot stands can be purchased here:https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/837057888/engraved-single-tarot-stand-oracle-stand
I feel like these cards would make a nice gift, whether for yourself or for an intuitively minded friend. You don’t need to be a card reading expert to work with these either – they can be read right out of the box.
Here are some questions that work well with these cards:
Join me as I unbox the Zodiac Goddess Power Deck by Kathy Crabbe!
The Zodiac Goddess Power Deck is a new oracle deck by Kathy Crabbe, creator of the Lefty Oracle Deck and Elfin Ally Oracle. It blends two awesome things – the Zodiac signs and goddesses!
What I love about this deck is that it helps me better understand and connect with each astrological sign, as well as various goddess energies. The cards are beautiful, fun to work with and are a wonderful addition to my oracle deck collection!
This deck would be great for those new to oracle cards, as well as seasoned oracle and Tarot readers. The cards are fairly easy to connect with (thanks to Kathy’s gorgeous artwork!) and read right out of the box and it comes with a handy booklet, as well as some helpful info on the inside of the box (see video above for details).
I can’t wait to spend a bit more time getting to know these goddesses and journalling with them ♥
Meet my evil, Tarot reading twin Veronica! Feeling lost? In need of some good advice? Well, you’ve come to the wrong place. Veronica loves nothing more than telling other people how to live (and ruin) their lives in spectacular fashion. So take her advice. If you dare…
Things aren’t always what they seem. Illusions are everywhere!
I for one like to wear push up bras, lash extensions and deodorant. Now everyone thinks my B.O. smells like ylang ylang and vanilla! So mysterious.
The Moon tells us that we possess the ability to create illusions so that others see us how we’d like to be seen – whether it’s the perky breasted version of you or the blissfully happy, “so blessed” social media version of you.
Which is great!
But The Moon has a dark side (literally AND figuratively). While you fool everyone into thinking you have 4″ eyelashes, you are equally fooled by stuff.
Once I spent $80 on cellulite cream because I thought it would make me hotter than I already am. It didn’t work. I’m still just garden variety hot and not super hot. Oh well. At least my ass smells like vanilla caramel.
The Moon asks you – what illusions are you buying into? What illusions are you trying to create? And what’s the most you’ve ever spent on cellulite cream? I want to know…
The Cosma Visions Oracle is artist James R. Eads latest deck! He is also the creator of Light Visions and Prisma Visions Tarot and Green Glyphs Lenormand deck (all stunning, five star decks, in my opinion).
This deck was inspired by the spiritual journey we take between lives, which is a topic I’ve been fascinated by for most of my life (even when I was a weird kid).
Join me as I unbox this deck and take it for a test drive…

First of all, I really love this deck – the cards feel luxurious and almost decadent with their lush colors and sumptuous images.
Beauty and high quality are what make this deck stand out from most of the decks I own and the gorgeous, sturdy box just adds to the enjoyment of these cards. I own three other decks by James and all of them are like this – high quality and super gorgeous.
These cards are thick and sturdy and have a matte finish – my fave! Edges are shiny dark blue/blackish, which is a nice departure from the typical gold.
A unique feature of this deck (and Jame’s other two Tarot decks) is how the minors, when lined up in order, form a continuous scene – I demonstrate this in my video above at 12:56.
Even though it’s called an Oracle deck, it follows the same structure of a Tarot deck but the major arcana and court cards have been renamed and re-imagined. Because of this, you might need to spend a bit of time getting to know this deck before you really hit the ground running with readings.
I suspect I will mostly use this deck for doing self readings and Tarot journalling, mainly because the images really beg to be contemplated (not quickly interpreted). This is a great deck to help you slow down and feel into the cards and really connect deeply with your intuition ♥

The Tower represents sudden change that makes you question everything.
FINALLY!
Just when you start getting comfy, life reminds you that it’s uncertain and unpredictable. Fuuuuuck!
In the blink of an eye, your life can go from being a fairytale to a nightmare – or from being like a Hallmark Christmas movie to a hardcore porno.
I know which one I’d prefer 😉
So the question is…when the rug gets pulled out from under you, will you hop on it and go for a magic carpet ride?
How you answer this next question will determine your fate….
When you look at The Tower, do you see a crumbling building or an exploding phallus?
I prefer to see the glass half full, so I see a boner. And what is a boner if not a signpost pointing you in the direction of where you need to go?
Wait, that didn’t make sense.
The Towersymbolizes an ejaculating phallus which symbolizes a life force energy so powerful it cannot be contained within the confines of such a rigid construct, and that rigid construct is your life.
Wow, so much symbolism my head is spinning.
You were born to LIVE! You were born to colour OUTSIDE the lines! Enough with all these uptight plans, my dear. Time to spread your sexy wings and recreate your life from the ground up!
The Deck of Character is a fun, fresh, modern oracle designed not just for readings but for sparking conversations – with both your friends and your “higher self”!
I’ve been having tons of fun with these cards over the Summer and it’s amazing how a simple drawing can spark so many creative ideas and insights. I have yet to use this deck with friends, but I feel like even those who’ve never read a card before could read these – they are that easy and relatable!
Something I forgot to mention in this video is that I’ve been using this deck for creative writing and journalling and it’s amazing at sparking inspiration. Ideas for characters, plot lines, etc come pouring out of me when I have these cards at the ready.
