The Storyteller’s Tarot Review

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: The Storyteller’s Tarot by David Pasquale. Boxed set of 78 cards and Guidebook. RRP £18.99 Published by Hay House

Sample card! Five of Coins - The Snake. Legend tells us that the snake had four legs but it attacked humans. The Jade Emperor gave a command to cut them off. The snake made amends, and gave his body to traditional medicine after he died. He was then rewarded with a place in the zodiac. Snakes are determined creatures, private and reticent. Snakes are wise, but easily stressed and require their own space and time. Upright: adversity, and worry, misfortune, isolation. Reversed: spiritual poverty, recovering from financial loss, isolation. This card can mean that financial loss is currently a reality or  important in your life has been lost, a job, a home or financial stability. You may be wondering when help is going to arrive, but you must ask. 

California based David Pasquale is a character designer in the animation industry and his characters are highly individual and enjoyable to work with. 

The cards have traditional RWS meanings but there are a few different titles for the Majors. There are marvellous characters from fairytales, folktales and fables, and mystical animals in interesting settings. There is information on how to use the cards, all very easy and enjoyably creative. Each card offers an illustration, a number, title and subtitle, and upright and reversed meanings, keywords and a quotation. Court Cards are Page, Knight, Queen, King. The suits are: Sceptres are black and Fire, Hearts are orange and Water, Spikes are mauve and Air, and Coins are red and Earth. There are upright and reversed card meanings. Spreads suggested are: The 3-Act Play of 3 cards; Choose Your Own Adventure of 7 cards; and The Hero’s Journey of 15 cards. 

Very enjoyable artwork! A great assistance for readings! Can be a bit negative but the reader can correct it. Good strong cards! Review by Wendy Stokes  https://wendystokes.co.uk
