Dinky & Delightful Divination With The Chubby Bun Pocket Tarot & Rune Deck

by RachelSwirl September 14, 2022

I’ve had the pleasure of working and reading with Deckstiny’s Chubby Bun Tarot and Chubby Bun Runes for almost a year now. It’s one of my favoured sets of decks, possibly due to the fact that my nine-year-old daughter raves about rabbits and is bunny bonkers! Deckstiny has recently rereleased these decks as adorable pocket-sized editions and I for one am in awe – the new editions are even sweeter (if that were even possible ?!) than their predecessors. Who Is DeckStiny? Based in Thailand, Deckstiny (formerly known as Shuffle Tarot) first came about when they launched their first indy Tarot…

Reviewing & Reading With Odin’s Playbook – A Tarot Tale

by RachelSwirl May 2, 2022

Alongside reading Tarot I also enjoy using other forms of divination such as Oracle cards, Lenormand cards, and runes. Earlier this month Dani’el Norman very kindly sent me her latest deck ‘Odin’s Playbook – A Norse Tarot Tale‘. This modern take on the traditional Tarot fuses two forms of divination, resulting in a bewitchingly beautiful blend of the runes and Tarot. Dani’el Norman Odin’s Playbook (A Norse Tarot Tale) is designed and created by Dani’el Norman. Dani’el is a self-taught designer, illustrator and writer based in Ontario, Canada. Dani’el grew up in Fredericton, New Brunswick – a place that she…
