Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Vera Sibilla Reading for 13-20 April 2026

Hey everyone! Hope your week is going well. For this week's reading I am using the Bonefire Tarot (1st Edition) by Gabi Angus-West Copyright 2016 Schiffer Publishing: Red Feather MBS All Rights Reserved, La Vera Sibilla Italiana ("Everyday Oracle Cards") Copyright 2007 Lo Scarabeo All Rights Reserved and Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water by Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Amber Logan and Kachina Mickeletto Copyright 2014 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Bonefire Tarot:

If you have more than enough then why not share with those who could use your help? You could volunteer at a food bank, donate to charity, give a homeless person food or money (but don't try to take it back if you don't want them spending it on alcohol or drugs. That's not generosity, that's inflicting violence on them. Also don't take photos of yourself doing charity work and posting it on social media and claim you are being selfless when really all you are doing is inflating your ego. Knock it off.  One more thing: voluntourism is NOT helpful nor is it ethically responsible for you to do as you are not actually helping people but using White Supremacy (yes, even if you are not white yourself) to embarrass people in genuine need. Don't do it. Find other ethical means before attempting colonialism via voluntourism.) Now, if you are the one needing help, what resources can you use to get yourself back on track? Who can you trust to ask for what you need? Do what is necessary to get it. Yes, even if it feels embarrassing. It's better than having to suffer unnecessarily. So put your fear and pride aside and let people help you out.

You are indecisive about a crucial decision needing to be made and not feeling confident with the options given to you. Choose the option that's going to best for you and your current circumstances. Even if the choices are all beneficial, you are only able to pick one at this moment in time. So choose wisely! There is a dependable and generous person who will take an unconventional approach in dealing with a power-hungry or otherwise irresponsible person who is forcing you to stand up for yourself. You have their support even when you least expect it. It may feel like everyone and everything is working against you at this moment in time but keep going and you will see that you get exactly what you are looking for even if the timing doesn't feel right at this moment. Finally, it is time to moving away from what is holding you back, accept that it cannot be changed or has left your life and allow yourself to finally move in a direction that gets you where you know you need to be even if it is filled with great uncertainty and doubt at first. You cannot stay where you are at any longer so do what is needed to facilitate this change. 

You are out of excuses. Get to it!

Moving on the the Myths and Mermaids: Oracle of the Water to see what messages they can inspire us with for the upcoming week ahead:

Who are you really versus what façade are you putting on to keep the peace rather than stand up for yourself? Finding our true self requires a lot of unpacking depending on your life's circumstances and what you were forced to hide when you were young and what you still hide now as an adult. It is discovering who you were before you were forced to conform to society's values and beliefs that conflict with yours. It can take years and may require meeting with a therapist (or other licensed professional) to help you uncover the self you were truly meant to be versus what you have settled for. What needs to happen in order for you to express yourself fully, authentically and without censorship? Journal about this question and really contemplate what you can do to finally live the life that is meant for you and your journey.

     You might feel incredibly inspired to act on something that will be incredibly life changing but you are not fully ready yet.  There is something missing and if you rush into something new haphazardly it will blow up in your face. This is a warning that something that's not addressed will come to the surface and force you to face it. If you are looking for a new job or promotion, now is not the time to go for it but rather figure out what is still missing before you pursue it. Otherwise, you will sabotage yourself and it will hurt big time. So use this time to prepare for your next big move but don't make the huge step until you have everything you need to actually go for it.

 You will need to face uncomfortable and unfamiliar territory this week. This doesn't necessarily mean its a bad thing but it will definitely bring up feels of uncertainty. Sometimes in order to get what we want we must experience the great unknown. Not knowing what is going to happen next but continuing on anyway.

Finally. let's see what the Vera Sibilla forecasts for this week:

Money required you to put the effort in so that you could successfully obtain it and end any issues that came up. This warns of imminent danger or blackmail from a partner who betrayed you and either you will discover a shocking secret about them or your skeletons in your closet are about to be revealed at an event that will cause misunderstandings among your personal group of friends and/or colleagues that will lead to a lack of direction or experiencing a loss of some kind. Tread carefully. It's about to get ugly out there.
 

Deck Review: Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition)

 Hello everyone! Welcome to another deck review! This time I am reviewing the Australian 2nd Edition of the Oracle of the Shapeshifters. So what do I mean by 2nd Australian edition? Well, when this deck and the Oracle of Shadows and Light came out in the US, many cards were changed and the guidebook was altered to be catered to teenagers for some reason (not sure why that was or what the purpose of it was but the American versions were published by an entirely different company separate from Blue Angel in spite of the guidebook still be written by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. There is now a 3rd edition of the Australian version of Oracle of the Shapeshifters so my version won't look like the current version on the market. So keep that in mind.

Cardstock: Sturdy with glossy finish. This may have changed in the most recent edition of this deck.

The Guidebook: The guidebook contains information on shapeshifters and how to work with them, 3 unique spreads relevant to this deck, information of shapeshifting and change in our lives, how to work with the cards and then finally is followed up by the card meanings which includes the following: a thumbnail of the card image, the message written on the card itself,  [Title of card] speaks, about [title of the card] and finally a divination message for the card itself. There are no reversals in this deck and there isn't even a mention of them.

Can you read this deck without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, most of the cards make it simple enough to give your intuition a hit needed to give you a meaningful reading. However, if you really want to make the most out of this deck then I would suggest working the guidebook to get a more in-depth message that can help you best work with each card.

Beginner friendly? Yes, this deck is absolutely approachable for beginners. The guidebook will only help expand your ability to better read the cards. Especially, when working with the theme of this deck which is change through courageous action.

Diversity: Out of the 45 cards, there are only 3 cards that depict someone who is obviously not a white person. It is definitely better than nothing but there could have been more. Keep this in mind if this is crucial factor for you when determining whether or not to purchase this deck.

Theme: Shapeshifting. This deck is aimed at making significant life changes and holding yourself to these changes.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 45 cards this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 21

Neutral: 15

Negative: 10

This deck does tend to lean toward the positive. However, if you combine the neutral and negative cards together, there are more of them than the positive cards. Since this is a deck about asking a question and then acting on the message you receive, it can challenge you and help you work with shadows (or what's hidden or suppressed in your life that needs to be addressed so that you have the courage to change your life for the better).

Overall, this is a great shadow work deck to work with. Especially when dealing with issues with change and needing to act into order to make a significant change in your life.

On to you: What do you think of this deck? Which version of this deck do you own (1st, 2nd, or 3rd Australian Edition or American Edition)? Do you own both the American and Australian decks? If so, which one do you prefer? (And which editions of each version do you have?) Do you use it often? Do you exclusively use this deck for when you need a change in your life? Do you use it with other decks? If so, which decks do you think pair best with this deck? Let me know in the comments below!

Deck Review: Oracle of the Hidden Worlds

 Hi everyone! Let's have a look an oracle deck that I feel don't use that often but can provide quite insightful readings no less: Oracle of the Hidden Worlds by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Gilbert Williams. This deck was published by Blue Angel Publishing in 2019. The box is typical of what you can expect from Blue Angel which is a nice sturdy box to store you cards in. When I purchased this deck it did come with a random black white paper. Not sure why that was necessary but something to keep in mind when purchasing this deck.

Cardstock: Sturdy with a smooth matte finish.

The guidebook: The guidebook contain information on the Hidden Worlds, how to work with the cards, 4 spreads unique to this deck itself as well as Lucy Cavendish's unique take on the Celtic Cross spread and of course, the card meanings with a thumbnail of each card, their keywords, a few paragraphs about each card and an illumination for each card.

Whilst this deck mentions reversals, Lucy Cavendish does not provide reversals for each card itself. This is due to 34 out of the 44 cards being landscape whilst only 10 of the cards being portrait. Personally, this is something I really don't like oracle card decks doing. Just pick one format and stick to it. I get that it might not have been possible to do so but this inconsistency throws off the deck slightly. Especially, you do want to use reversals.

With that being said, Lucy Cavendish does give a heads up on how to tell if a landscape card is reversed in the reversals section.

Can you read this deck without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, there are enough keywords on the card itself to make it accessible for those who want to read it directly out of the box.

Beginner friendly? Yes, this deck is absolutely approachable to beginners and the guidebook will only enhance their readings. The guidebook's illumination can even expand on the reading by giving it an affirmation to strengthen it. 

Diversity: There are 18 out of 44 cards that portray only locations without people, fairies or angels. The characters that aren't portrayed with a transparent white colour are very clearly white people. There are no obvious non-white people portrayed at all in this deck. Whilst there aren't really any depictions of couples in this deck, apart from maybe The Path of the Gods card to indict any couples let alone LGBT+ characters. If this is crucial factor for you in determining whether or not to purchase this deck then keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 44 cards in this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 17

Neutral: 27

Negative: 0

This deck tends to lean toward neutral. You could read reversals to help bring balance to this deck by having negative aspects of each card. Otherwise, this would work great alongside a tarot, lenormand, kipper, vera sibilla, other fortunetelling deck or with another divination like Runes.

Specific theme: The Astral Plane's Hidden Worlds (Ex: Afterlife, In-Between, Faerie Lands, Angelic Realms, Dream Worlds, Galactic Worlds (especially if you are into Star-Seed ideology) and Beyond the Veil). This deck's aim is to get answers to best life your life by connecting to these Hidden Worlds.

This deck is definitely not one of my favourites when it comes to Lucy Cavendish's abundance of oracle decks. As someone who is NOT a New-Ager nor works with the Star-Seed archetype (I did explore it way back in 2017 but it ultimately did not resonate with me and my beliefs). If the Star-Seed archetype and exploring galactic realms is your thing then you may actually enjoy this deck. Some keywords were incredibly weak and I didn't feel like I could necessarily get it to fully relate to specific circumstance without it sounding vague. The guidebook wasn't as in-depth like previous (and subsequent) decks done by Lucy Cavendish. Whilst the artwork is gorgeous and very evocative I just feel like it just wasn't enough to be used effectively as it could have been. I feel like there could have been more information added to the guidebook to help solve this issue.

Overall, this deck can be used a great clarifying deck in a reading, for ritual or meditation use as a daily affirmation. This is especially great for those who like to connect to the astral realms, identify with the Star-Seed (or similar) archetypes and perhaps for those who specially work with the Akashic Records.

On to you: What do you think of this deck? Do you like it? Do you use it often? Do you use it for specific types of readings? If so, which circumstances is the deck best used for in your opinion? Let me know in the comments below!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Kipper Card Reading for 06-13 April 2026

Hello everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Alchemical Tarot (4th edition) by Robert M. Place Copyright 2015 Hermes Publications All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Hidden Worlds by Lucy Cavendish and artwork by Gilbert Williams Copyright 2019 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and Original Kipper Wahrsagekarten by Regula Elizabeth Fiechter Copyright 2005 AGMüller Uraina Neuhausen am Rheinfall CH Switzerland All Rights Reserved.

Let's get this week started off with the Alchemical Tarot

A mentor guided you as circumstances shifted in your favour which helped rebuild stability in your life. You need to keep this momentum going forward because you are going to get exactly what you want but you need to keep your impulses in check to prevent self-sabotage this week. This will bring an ending that comes with a call to action and having someone stand up for you when it matters most. This will then give up opportunities for you to show off your skillset and talents so that you can use them to earn more money. Keep an eye out for anything that could help strengthen these abilities.

Moving on to the Oracle of the Hidden Worlds we have:

You can get whatever you want out of your life, it is just a matter of realigning yourself with your purpose. What do you really want out of life? What are you dying to do but have not done yet? Bucket list? Time to make those things happen in spite of where you are in life right now. Rearrange your routine to include these "always wanted to do but have not gotten to do yet" goals and you will see your life change for the better. You will feel more fulfilled even if you experience many failures and challenges along the way. It is time to reconnect with who you are at your core. This may involve doing uncomfortable shadow work to uncover what's hidden so you can make your life better in spite of what the world expects out of you. Learn, unlearn and relearn important life values to better inform your moral compass to help you be the best version of yourself for not just your sake but for those around you as well. Make sure you are doing what you can to take care of yourself (whatever that looks like to you) so that you can be fully present and feel empowered to make the right choices for you and for the good of the collective. Ground yourself, trust your intuition and do the work necessary to empower those who don't have a voice to finally be heard and to inspire others to do the same.

Finally let's see what the Orignal Kipper Wahrsagekarten forecast for this upcoming week:

You or your (potential) partner will need stability this week. You sought out advice and now you will be able to move to toward a fresh start. Whether you are thinking of travelling abroad, trying to tackle your to-do list or address an addiction holding you back, just know that change takes time and you will need to be patient even if it seems like it is taking forever to get done. You and your (potential) partner's home or family life is what needs to be addressed head on in order for their to be any improvements in your relationship or actually being able to begin a new relationship with health dynamics from the get-go. Find your "why" for doing what you want to pursue and let that be what motivates you to bring forth the stability you are looking for.

Deck Review: Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle

Hi everyone! Let's a have look a one of my favourite oracle decks in my collection: Wild Wisdom of the Faery Oracle (2nd Edition) by Lucy Cavendish and Selina Fenech Copyright 2015 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved.

This first image is of the box. It is typically what you can expect from Blue Angel. It is nice and sturdy and will keep your cards and guidebook nice and secure. The second image to the right shows you a thumbnail of the card, its title, keywords that are also on the card itself, a description of the card, its divinatory meaning and its reversed meaning.

The cardstock: As you can see in the image above the cardstock is nice and sturdy. However, I did buy this deck when it first came out so the card texture had a glossy finish. This may have changed to a matte finish in later printings as this has become the favoured card finish for Blue Angel for a while. If you bought this deck recently, let me know if this has changed from a glossy to a matte finish.

The last two images depict what the cards look like. As you can see there's the image of the card itself, the card's number at the top of the card, the title and a few keywords for each card.

The guidebook:  The guidebook contain extensive information on how to work with faeries, faery energy, faery beliefs, when to work with the faeries, faery symbols, signs the faeries are with you, questions to ask the faery, reversals, 3 unique spreads exclusive to this deck and finally, the card interpretations. An example of what you can find in the guidebook can be seen in the second image.

Unlike her successor deck: The Faery Forest Oracle, this deck actually has reversed meanings provided with each card. 

Can you read this deck right out the box without having to rely on the guidebook? Yes, absolutely! The keywords will give you enough for your intuition go off of to where you don't necessarily need the guidebook. Especially, if you don't read reversals. However, with that being said, I would highly recommend working with the guidebook to really get to know the deck as a whole and to get the reversed meanings down.

Beginner friendly? Yes, I would say this deck is absolutely approachable to someone new to oracle cards and the guidebook will only help enhance their oracle card reading abilities.

Diversity: Unfortunately, this deck is very heteronormative and only includes white faeries. There are no LGBT+ characters nor are there characters of other races represented within the characters themselves. If this is crucial factor for you in determining whether or not to purchase this deck then keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 47 cards in this deck, here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 24 (Upright)- 1 (Reversed)

Neutral: 19 (Upright)-3 (Reversed)

Negative: 4 (Upright)-43 (Reversed)

This deck tends to lean toward the positive when only reading this deck upright. However, it becomes more balanced when you incorporate reversals into readings. Whilst there are only 21 neutral cards in total. I do feel this deck is quite balanced enough to where you don't have to use another deck (ex: Tarot, Lenormand, Vera Sibilla, Kipper, etc) alongside it. Although, it will enhance the reading if you do choose to use it with another deck or divination tool. (Ex: Runes).

Specific theme: Faeries. This deck's aim is to answer questions related to healing and change.

Overall, this deck is great for doing shadow work over aspects of your life that need healing and for helping make positive changes in your life by guiding your in the direction you need to be in. This is especially great if you work with faeries in your witchcraft or spiritual path.

On to you? What do you think of this deck? Do you own it and use it yourself? Would you consider getting it (if you don't already have it)? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments below!

Weekly Tarot, Oracle and Lenormand Reading for 30 March-06 April 2026

Hey everyone! Welcome to another weekly reading! For this week's reading I am using the Shapeshifter Tarot by Lisa Hunt, D.J. Conway and Sirona Knight Copyright 1998 Llewellyn Publishing All Rights Reserved, Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition) by Lucy Cavendish and Jasmine Becket-Griffith Copyright 2015 Blue Angel Publishing All Rights Reserved and the Constellation Lenormand by Two Of Owls Tarot Copyright 2020 Two of Owls Tarot All Rights Reserved. *Note: The Shapeshifter Tarot is out of print and there is no intention for it to be reprinted any time soon but you can find second hand but its going to be pricy so heads up. The Constellation Lenormand was a self-published Lenormand deck created in 2020 but the website for it is now gone and its creators are not active on social media anymore unfortunately.*

Let's get this week started with the Shapeshifter Tarot:

There was a transition that happened prematurely or something that needed to be tied up before you are able to move on from your current situation. You have successfully wrapped up a project or cycle in your life that needs to end but it has lead to confusion and made you more up to be influenced by dubious people. What requires your focus now is to realise that certain problems are only in your head and are not going to happen so I need to address these thoughts so you do project them onto others or make them become real problems. Remove yourself from toxic situations, contracts and people who only are looking out their own interests. This especially crucial when it is impacting your finances and/or physical health. Once that has been dealt with you will finally be able to move on to something better, get your mojo back and be supported by those who matter most to you and being able to reciprocate for those who need you.

Now, let's see what the Constellation Lenormand forecasts for this week:

There was resilience through someone's message that initiated a major change for you. There's stressful news about a woman in your life (or if the woman represents you then it could be you dealing with stressful news). You will get through this by having a creative idea that will come through an epiphany. It will be that "a-ha" moment. This will help you have the strength to overcome a burdensome obstacle standing in the way of accomplishing your goals. A document or package contains an untrustworthy message. Take whatever is received at face value until you can confirm that it is true. An independent woman (or yours if the woman represents you)'s mental state or creative vision (depending on your circumstances) is making an impact on the current situation. This will enable your creativity to be showcased in a positive way. Pay attention to any email message (or instant messenger app like Slack or Microsoft Teams) as it will detail an upcoming change you will need to be aware of.

Finally, let's wrap up this reading with the Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian 2nd Edition):

You could reconnect with someone or something nostalgic from your childhood that will let unlock the potential hidden within you by using your creativity and intuition as channel to remind you who you were and who you can eventually become. Once you embrace your full potential then you will be able to initiate this change in your daily life so that you can be alignment with where you need to be in order to thrive in your life. Even the tiniest step matters. Remember that! On top of that you will receive great news that will positively influence your life for the better. Be open to whatever comes your way.

Deck Review: The Faery Forest Oracle

Hello Everyone! Welcome to a new series on my blog where I review decks in my collection. For those of you who remember my YouTube videos from 2015-2020 will know that one of the most common videos I would make would be reviewing decks in my collections (and unboxing videos but I later had to clarify the difference because my first impressions are not the same as my impressions after working with a deck for specific period of time.) Now I have decided to go through my collection and review decks I've worked with and if this is a go-to deck, a seasonal deck (ex: Spring, Autumn, etc), for special occasion or holiday (Ex: Valborg/Walpurgisnacht, Halloween, Samhain, Birthday, etc) or for a specific ritual, spell, etc.

|Disclaimer: I purchased this deck with my own funds and not being sponsored by the publisher.|

Anyway, let's get started with the review for the Faery Forest Oracle. 

First things first: The guidebook was written by the incredibly talented Lucy Cavendish and the artwork is by Maxine Gadd- a faery artist based in Oregon in the USA.

The Cardstock: Thick and glossy. (*Note: I purchased this deck when it first came out in 2016 so the cardstock may have changed since then so keep that in mind*).

This deck has multiple borders and while the brown one give a canvas wall feeling to it the other borders feel a bit unnecessary. I have seen others trim the black borders off (and if I remember correctly a few have trimmed all 3 borders down.) If you are willing to trim the borders then go for it. Just keep in mind that it will affect the beautiful backing if that's a concern to you.

The next two images show off what you can expect from the cards themselves.

Each card has a triple border with one border that a specific colour to help distinguish it from the others. The cards themselves have the title of what the card is and has three accompanying keywords relevant for each card.

The guidebook: The guidebook contains information about the Faery Forest itself, how to work and bond with your deck, unique aspects of this deck, using your deck for magical purposes, advice on how to keep your readings pure, flowing and with integrity and 4 spreads (2 of them being unique to this deck). After that, you get a small black and white thumbnail of each card, the title of the card, the 3 keywords used on the card itself and an expanded message for each card and the original name of the artwork that Maxine Gadd assigned to each card. As you can see in the following image below:

 Whilst reversals are mentioned, Lucy Cavendish has ultimately decided not to provide reversed meanings for this particular deck.  

Can you read this deck immediately out of the box?- Absolutely. The keywords for each card make it easy to read with no matter if you read with just one card or with multiple cards in your own spreads.

Beginner friendly?- Yes, this deck can be read by those who are brand new to reading oracle cards without having to rely too heavily on the guidebook.

Diversity: Unfortunately, every single character portrayed in this deck is represented by white people. So it is absolutely not inclusive visually and each person is supposed to represent a cisgender god, goddess or other mythical faery. There's also no indication that there are LGBT+ representation. If this is a crucial factor for you when it comes to deciding on whether or not to purchase a deck, keep that in mind.

How balanced is this deck? Out of the 45 cards in the deck here is how it can be broken down to:

Positive: 20 cards

Neutral: 18 cards

Negative: 7 cards

This deck tends to lean toward the positive but there are enough neutral cards that can help balance out a reading in spite of there only being 7 negative cards in the deck. If you choose to read reversals you can also use them to help bring more balance to this deck.

Can this deck be used on its own or does it need to be accompanied by another type of deck (ex: Tarot, Lenormand, Vera Sibilla, Kipper, etc) or tool (ex: Runes, Oghams, etc)? Yes, it can be used on its own and it can also expand on a tarot (or any other type of divination deck or tool) reading.

Does this deck tend to favour a specific season over another? No, but I am sure many people may feel more called to this deck during the Spring or Summer time due to its colour-pallet. But you can definitely use this deck whenever you can.

Specific theme: Faeries. This deck's aim is to answer day-to-day questions to help you make better decisions and navigate difficult challenges sensibly.

Overall, this is a great deck for answering practical questions in your daily life or when you're busy and don't necessarily want to dive deep into an issue but rather find a more direct and to the point solution to the area inquired about.

On to you? What do you think of the Faery Forest Oracle? Do you own it and use it yourself? Would you consider getting it (if you don't already have it)? Why or why not?  Let me know in the comments below!
