Top 5 Tarot Decks of 2018

By Darren Shill

Darren’s top 5 tarot decks of 2018

So here we are, immersed in the joys of 2019, but still with a reflective mind to 2018. If not for an exceptionally busy end of year for Liminal 11, this would have been written earlier. So please forgive the tardiness.

Each year, the number of high quality tarot decks seems to find new peaks, whether self-published, through established companies or with the emergence of new publishers (tip of the hat to Liminal 11!). It really does seem to be a golden age to be a tarot enthusiast or collector. Are there too many decks to choose from? Personally, I think the wide variety provides the space to find a deck that connects more deeply with you… as for the extent that it is a problem, then it is certainly a premium one!

Janelle Belgrave

Janelle Belgrave‘s first love is astrology. She stumbled upon it at an early age and has studied it for nearly 20 years since then. She lives by the principle of “As above, So below” believing that all things that we experience here on Earth are reflected in the heavens and within humanity itself. That guidance led her to study Chinese Medicine, earning her Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2012. Since then she’s practiced in a myriad of settings, from community acupuncture to private practice. That same year she trained to become a Clairvoyant Intuitive, and has seen used her skills to give readings that have been lauded as impactful and accurate.

In 2015 Janelle began seeing astrology clients, coaching them one on one, using their natal charts to support them through challenges, success and future planning. She has written horoscopes for Refinery29, XoNecole and Cassius, and she has been mentioned XoJane, Essence, The Guardian and other publications. Her mission is to make astrology, clairvoyance & Chinese Medicine both practical and common knowledge for the public, as their wisdom is powerful as well as healing when applied in our daily lives.

The Empress in The Luna Sol Tarot

The Empress in The Luna Sol Tarot

By Darren Shill

We hate to admit playing favourites, but all tarot enthusiasts have a particular card that has a personal spark. For me, it is the Empress (Mike‘s is The Hermit and Sarah‘s is the Ace of Swords, although Temperance calls out often!). Had you asked me when I was a younger reader, no doubt I would have chosen something wilder or stranger, but over the years the warmth and compassion of the Empress has melted resistance away. Now she stands apart.

The Fool in The Luna Sol Tarot

By Darren Shill

It’s strange how one of the most interesting  Major Arcana cards (from a numerological perspective) arguably doesn’t have a number at all. Here is a Zero that could represent nothing but is the source of everything. It is the beginning and it is also the end.

Constance Armitage

Constance Armitage lives between the worlds of art and technology. She began personifying hardware components and visualising concepts whilst studying Computer Science because it was the most effective (and fun) way for her to learn. Finding later that many others also learn in this way, her interest in using storytelling and art to explain abstract ideas grew. In a time where technological advancements are fuelled by greed, where ethics and social impact are afterthoughts, and change is increasingly fast-paced and complex, anxiety and stress are commonplace in many daily lives. Constance tries to promote a kinder, slower, calmer way of working and living through her art.
