Tarot of the Kingdoms

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Tarot of the Kingdoms by Paige Ozma Ashmore. Published by REDFeather, a subsidiary of Schiffer Books. £31.99 Boxed set of 80 cards with full colour guidebook.

  • Solid card stock in an attractive box. All 80 cards are pretty pastel crayoned artworks. The deck’s creator, Paige Ozma Ashmore, is a mural artist and creates Soul Portraits. She worked on the film, Eleven, as a film artist.

Sample from the book: Ace of Fire - The Phoenix rises from the ashes of an old dream.  

Divinatory Meaning: A birth of something new. Sometimes a troubling birth, but it rises brilliantly. Direction to Take: An action on your part is required. Take that step. 

This deck is designed to dispel negativity, and to help you find your higher purpose. Majors, described as Archetypes, are rainbows. Air is pink, wands, east, and of the fairy kingdom. Fire is red, swords, south, kingdom of the phoenix. Water is blue, west, and kingdom of the merfolk. And Earth, green, north, pentacles, kingdom of the tree spirits. The fifth element is a card titled Spirit. Another addition is a card titled The Universe. Animals are well represented as are women, nature and multicultural influences. 

I think this is a very attractive deck due to its artwork, and is entirely positive, pleasant and individual. Who doesn’t like magical beings, fairies, dragons, merfolk, and tree folk? The book provides a full colour image, a number, title and the story of each artwork. The divinatory meaning of 10 words is traditional, plus a ‘Direction to Take’ which is the best help ever in 50 words. 

There are suggestions of a One-Card Reading, a Three-Card Reading and a Pentacle, 5-Card Spread. 

No dark cards here! Recommended. I love, love, love the 80 works of art! Review by Wendy Stokes https://wendystokes.co.uk
