Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: The Bohemian Animal Tarot, written by Scott Alexander King and illustrated by Sharon McLeod. A boxed set of 80 cards and guidebook. Published by Rockpool Publishing.
This is a truly beautiful Tarot deck. It is enriching, nourishing, and powerfully connects to many rare and iconic species that will facilitate great enjoyment for the reader and their clients. I like the deck and I like the work of Scott Alexander King. In addition to the suggested spreads, the deck can be worked through by choosing one card for each day. The species that are depicted are illustrated realistically and in great strength and skilfulness and admirability.
The Human personality is presented here as related to differing animals. Some cards have Elizabethan, Baroque, Victorian and Romany gypsy themes. The Bohemian styling was chosen due to its unconventional and unorthodox lifestyle and its Gypsy/Romany and creative ways. Some Majors are retitled (the traditional and new titles are both provided). The Minors are divided into 4 directions with elements. Because the deck was created and produced in the Southern Hemisphere, the Wheel is reversed with Air in East, Fire in North, Water in West, Earth in South. Paige, Knight, Queen and King denotes a masculine aspect for the Court Cards but the deck is not male dominant. Spreads offered for 3 card Past, Present & Future with sample reading, and Celtic Cross. The animal archetypes have 80 words plus the card description of 200 words. The Quest for each card is an additional 100 words plus keywords and Divinatory meanings, all add to a deep understanding of each card.
