Crow Tarot

Mind Body & Soul Card Deck Review: Crow Tarot by M J Cullinane, published by U S Games Systems Inc.  £23.33 Release date: Sept 2023

Sample card: The Tower 16. Keywords: Drastic change, Upheaval, Catastrophe. Element: Fire. Each night, the crows gather to roast in the top of an old belltower that sits on a hill, away from the city lights. The tower has always provided a comfortable shelter that has offered security. However, the tower comes with a warning, do not become too comfortable or complacent. It could be whisked away in a flash. Mentally prepare yourself. Change is always afoot. Sometimes change happens and goes by virtually unnoticed, but not this time. You will feel it. It will shake your ground. How you manage this change will have a direct impact on how you will fare in the future. The energy caused by this change will spark something within that will move you towards a better place. How the pieces fall are up to you. Changes are inevitable, and when the tower is reversed, it is a sign that you are doing everything in your power to prevent necessary action. In doing so, you delay the experience you need to learn from in order to move forward.

 These fabulous birds are very intelligent and have a reputation for being tricksters! They are good mimics and have an excellent memory. This deck is based on the Rider-Waite Tarot. It is more than a fortune telling tool. It helps you to tap into what you already know, provides access to self discovery and your higher self. The guidebook suggests you pull three cards each day, ask them to tell a story which reveals something new about yourself that you have avoided or overlooked. Ask for a different way to tackle a problem. 

Each card has an image, title, keywords, an element, and Crow specific information with both upright and reversed meanings. This deck brought me closer to nature, closer to the Corvids and bird tribes.

Crow Tarot spread of eight cards is suggested. I love this artwork by Margaux Jones! The artwork and the text brings these birds alive in an admirable, wise and exciting way. They are so human!
