Heavenly Bloom Tarot Deck

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Heavenly Bloom Tarot Deck by Noa Ikeda, Boxed set of cards and guidebook, published 10th Sept 2022 by US Games Systems Inc. $ 23.95 : £25: 

This is a Tarot deck based on a mythological fantasy storyline. It is nicely produced with rose gold card edges. I would think it is a deck for young people, as the many figurative images are very stylish, with young slim women in fabulous costumes, and some with a very Eastern stereotyped beauty. There is a computer game feel with enigmatic images, some are international, with a strongly female energy, and some figures in motion. I also think the deck would be most suitable for experienced Tarot readers or those with high intuition.

Sample card Knight of Laurels: Eula stays true to their grounded and practical mindset. Upright: Study and practical. This Knight exhibits perseverance and determination to travel a steady path towards their ambition. Reversed: Overly stubborn and conservative. There may be a feeling of being stuck in a routine. Live life a little, don’t be afraid to dream.

 

 We have for the Majors that are significant life lessons and milestones, the elements, astrology and character of each card and a 100 word write up. For Minors, 30-50 word write up. Information on reversed cards is provided for every card. The Minor Arcana with their day to day events are Swords (depicted as a winged tribe), Wands (a tribe of desert warriors), Cups (formed from the tears of water spirits), and Laurels (a Druidic forest dwelling tribe created by an elder Earth spirit), the Court Cards are Page (some of which look female), Knight, Queen and King (some of which look female). 

This is a concept Tarot deck, where each card personality has an image, name and history, some of ambiguous gender with some mixed rave. Yes, enjoyable to work with if you can jump on the wavelength for a reading!
