The tarot deck included in this beautiful set was commissioned around 1451 by the Visconti and Sforza families, and it is one of the oldest tarot decks in existence. This beautiful gift box holds the book and card deck side by side, with a purple satin reading cloth folded and placed underneath the book.

The Tarot is much more than mere pictures on cards, the pictures are physical symbols for spiritual concepts. The images are symbolic representation of archetypal forces and/or beings which have always existed and have been identified and passed on to us by ancient initiates and which provide a focus for us to use in self-initiation, spiritual development, and the perception of hidden wisdom.

The tarot deck included in this beautiful set was commissioned around 1451 by the Visconti and Sforza families, and it is one of the oldest tarot decks in existence. The images on the cards have been faithfully recreated, showing members of the Sforza and Visconti families in period garments. The borders of the elegant cards are adorned with gold metallic ink.

The accompanying book provides a history of Visconti-Sforza cards, 35 of which are now in the collection of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City. The symbolism of the different cards is described, along with explanations of different ways to arrange the cards when seeking information about different aspects of life.

This beautiful gift box holds the book and card deck side by side, with a purple satin reading cloth folded and placed underneath the book.

 

 

Our Tarot & Oracle Library includes a bunch of different authors, including some pretty cool Aussies!

Whether you're new to buying cards, or you've been using them for years, you are welcome to join the Shine Bright Coven.  I try to use our new cards as they arrive, and old favourites are featured also.  You should never be afraid to try something new - you can do anything. 

 

Frequently asked Q&A - 
The most popular question I'm asked is whether or not you can buy your own tarot or oracle deck. 
  • The answer is a resounding yes!   
The second most popular question I'm asked is "What is the difference between Oracle and Tarot?"
  • The short answer is that oracle cards may provide you the opportunity to find a more deeply intuitive reading, probs because there is no real tradition to the cards.  Tarot is more structured, and can take some time to learn. That being said, you can most definitely pick up a tarot deck and understand what they are telling you!
  • All of our decks come with guidebooks designed to do absolutely that - to teach and guide you on your divination journey.  I recommend oracle cards to anyone who is starting out - you can make them be whatever you want them to be - which will inspire you to try and keep practising. 
My message to you is don't beat yourself up if you're struggling in the first part - learning to trust your intuition is a skill.  I am not an expert in either oracle or tarot - but I am a lover of both.  Shine bright, Pauline x
