The Kingdom Within Tarot

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card deck Review: The Kingdom Within Tarot by Juno Lucina and illustrations by Shannon ThornFeather Presentation box set of 78 Cards and Guidebook Published by Schiffer RRP £31.99

‘For behold, the kingdom of heaven is within you.’

The Major Arcana has traditional Tarot titles. King, Queen, Knight and Page of suits, Pentacles, Wands, Cups and Swords. Suggested spreads are: The Triangle and The Cross. Information on questioning the cards, with additional information about apportioning time. Reversed card information is provided, along with archetypes, seasons and celebrations, and Myers-Briggs personality comparisons. 

Each Major card has the usual number and title, with its astrological significance, meaning and keyword, the Element, its Kabbalistic path, and its Hebrew letter and translation. Added to this is an explanation of the artwork, the upright and reversed divinatory meaning, and ten key phrases. 

 

Each of the Pip Cards have Elemental and Kabbalistic assignations, with description of each image, key phrase, and upright and reversed meaning. The Court Cards have an archetypal title and explanation, and description of the image, with upright and reversed meanings and astrological association, with three explanations of how to present them in a reading, whether on a power, sign correspondence or actual person level. 

Strong presentation box with magnetic closure and quality cards with colourful symbolism and interesting mixed media artwork. This concept deck is worth working with - though expect more content than you usually get with a typical deck of Tarot. It’s a deep one and there is much self learning involved. I am recommending it because I think that people who know themselves, make good Card Readers! There are pages for note-taking within the book.
