This deck is based on the Rider-Waite-Smith structure and symbolism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern Witches, this deck is for you!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No tacky pointy hats and long noses associated with Halloween or spooky imagery. The women in this deck are instead adorned with crowns and\/or stylish accessories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strength of feminine energy is what we notice first when looking through this deck but masculine energy is not forgotten with the absence of male-forward characters. There is still a lovely balance of male-to-female energy by showing gender-fluid characters or women in traditionally male roles. It’s a wonderful way of underlining the very important concept that we all possess both energies and we draw from both at different times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Arcana – Modern Witch Tarot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re familiar with the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, you’ll have no problem settling into the imagery of the Modern Witch Tarot. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Magician<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the first cards is particularly sweet….The Magician is in full command of the tools at her disposal, channeling divine energy from the tip of her wand in her right hand to the tip of her finger in her left hand. <\/p>\n\n\n

Once we take in the traditional symbol we are used to seeing with depictions of the Magician, wonderful nuances come front and center. This person is young! Her youthful face, playful hairstyle, and white frock give away that she is young in age. But don’t let that fool you. She is in full command of her skills and her focus is on-point, enhanced by her bold red coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hierophant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hierophant teaches her pupils and gifts knowledge to all who seek it. Her tattoos are a nod to her connection to the sacred symbols she interprets through her teachings for us derive divine meaning. <\/p>\n\n\n

The Hierophant is traditionally depicted by a male character in a Christian religious role. And while this version deviates with a female Hierophant key symbolic images remain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
