The Hit List - The tarot and astrology stuff I'm loving right now

Tarot and astrology are both HOT at this time. Like hotter than molten lava. Of course, that means there are loads of amazing products and services available. Which makes my mystical loving heart happy as a geoduck! Lemme tell you about a few things that I’m loving right now.

First of all, I got a super deep and helpful tarot reading from Jordan Rayne of Sincerely the Tarot. It’s the image above. Yes, Jordan sends your reading via snail mail. If you know me you know that there is nothing I like more than getting the mail. A tarot reading sent this way? Personal, unique, and something I refer to again and again. Jordan delivers a reading like no other I’ve ever received. I highly recommend checking out Sincerely the Tarot and getting in on this tarot goodness. Psst…for this hand written goodness you’re only spending $11.00. Jordan should be charging WAY more.

I also received a Cycles of Evolution reading from Erin Aquarian recently. HOLY MOLEY this was FANTASTIC. Erin delivers a ton o’ information in a sweet PDF. This reading blew me away – and I love that I have a keepsake that I can refer back to as the years unfold. Get Erin on your radar. Seriously folks. She’s a star!

If you’re serious about tarot, Liz Worth’s new book The Power of Tarot is one that you need to have in your hands. Liz answers all the burning tarot questions and lays down everything you need to know if you want to up your tarot game. Frankly, I think every tarot reader would benefit from this book, no matter how long you’ve been at your game.

I saw the Neo Tarot floating through my Instagram feed and thought I needed to get a copy. I’m glad I did. This fresh deck goes in a different direction than the standard tarot decks out there. The images are clean and the focus on self-care makes this a winner – and one you defo want to have on hand.

The Tarot of the Moors by Gina Thies is simply gorgeous. This deck is based on the Moorish culture and is so rich. Gina did a stellar job of making a deck that honors that culture while still holding true to tarot’s structure. I can’t stop looking at this deck!

In my quest to make astrology digestible for folks who feel intimidated by it, I’m always on the hunt for tools that make it easy. The Numinous Astro Deck from Ruby Warrington and Bess Matassa is the perfect intro point for astrology newbies. It’s also pretty as can be!

Every year I get an astrology reading for my birthday. This year, I’m going to have my annual astrology session with the one-and-only Sam Reynolds. I cannot wait for Monday!

Alright, that’s my list of the things you need to know now. My eyes are always peeled and my ears open for new goods. I’m sure there will be more tarot and astrology stuff to share with you soon. But for now, these goodies oughta keep you busy. Yay!
