Editorial Reviews

This tarot deck is an inspiration. Monica manages to bring a new way of thinking about how you interact with your own divination practices. When you see the Chariot, you don’t see two opposing creatures. Instead you see a self-propelled thinker on their way to make things happen.
Let be clear. I love Monica’s work. However this deck takes a step beyond her earlier creations. She delves into what the interior of our minds might see. Her figures combine and integrate rather than detail and delineate. Take Temperance for example. The energetic back-and-forth that you might expect is there, but not there.
This deck represents a witch and writer who isn’t scared to let us see within. Learn to see yourself by using this amazing deck.

Many of us are feeling a strong pull to reconnect to the natural world or a calling to awaken inherent ancestral knowledge that slumbers within. If you have been seeking a guide to illuminate possible pathways, the creative mind of Monica Bodirsky has conjured a tool to assist us in navigating the often-overwhelming path to self-discovery. Much like The Hermit’s lantern, the artwork contained on each card provides a light, guiding us down the narrow corridors of consciousness, restoring our connection to the past and igniting knowledge we are systematically taught to forget. “Awakening” is the tool I needed when I was struggling on my journey of understanding how to interpret the inherent knowledge awakening inside of me to reclaim the wisdom we once were forced to hide in the darkness.

The Awakening Tarot is an enchanting deck that takes you into a world of magic and whimsy. In a time where we are deluged by AI art, this deck is filled with wonderful ink and watercolor illustrations that will facilitate and inspire your divination journey. This deck is a must for anyone looking to deepen their practice and manifest self-awareness while connecting with the elements.
