Everyday Witch Tarot Deck

The Everyday Witch Tarot cards are a friendly and refreshing update to the classic Rider Waite Smith system. Author Deborah Blake and illustrator Elisabeth Alba have created a set that conveys important messages through beautiful aesthetics and grounded images of witches.

This Tarot deck stands out for its lighthearted, yet serious approach to divination. Although the illustrations are full of playful elements such as pointed hats, brooms, and black cats on almost every card, there is no gloominess to be found. Instead of evoking fear and the dark tones of the classic cards, they encourage a positive and practical approach to life's challenges. It is like a conversation with a wise and down to earth older sister who tells you the truth in a kind and encouraging way.

Elisabeth Alba's art style is a vibrant blend of traditional fantasy and modern, friendly design, blurring the lines between the real and the magical. In her illustrations, witches are not just flying through the air, but are also engaging in entirely everyday things, such as meditation, reading, or preparing magical potions in the kitchen. This approach allows the card reader to deeply identify with the archetypes, as they are placed in understandable, contemporary scenarios. The power lies in the fact that magic is a part of everyday life.

In the Major Arcana cards, the traditional archetypes are presented with new energy. The Devil card, for example, does not represent an external demonic force, but rather reminds us of our own bad habits and addictions that keep us trapped. The Strength card beautifully shows a witch gently calming a lion, symbolizing inner power that does not stem from dominance, but from respect and mastery of one's own instincts.
