Despite the potential problems regarding artificial intelligence, it seems that AI is now unavoidable as we are both surrounded and dependent upon the likes of Alexa, Google, ChatBot GPT,  and common features of technology such as facial recognition, text editors, and e-payments. Though I’d like to argue that using AI-based artwork is both lazy and lacking creativity, it’s no huge surprise that we are now leaning upon the latest technology to provide us with pictorial solutions. Whilst I far prefer hand-drawn, personally painted, and individually designed products especially so when it comes to the likes of the Tarot deck, I …

We may well be months away from the festive period but it’s never too early to talk about Christmas, right? Though I’ve collected a number of seasonal divination decks, up until now I’ve been without a specifically Christmas-themed Tarot deck.

Despite having over fifty different Tarot decks (which should be more than enough for any avid Tarot reader) I still have a very small wishlist for particular select Tarot decks which have stood out to me over the years, the Ascension Tarot was one of my ‘dream decks’. You can, therefore, imagine my delight when, earlier this month, I was gifted this extraordinary deck to review. The Ascension Tarot Designed and created by the incredibly talented Dani’el Norman, the Ascension Tarot is an eighty-card, modern, collage-style Tarot deck designed to explore life in a more holographic, multidimensional way.
