I’m so bad at holding back when it comes to buying decks. Lol. I ended up getting the TaRat by Nakisha. This deck is so freaking cute. I love it. It’s also interesting because there are quite a few cards that don’t fit the traditional RWS system. Two of those cards are pictured. The Two of Cups is jealousy and anxiet, and the Two of Pentacles is difficulty, obstacles, and setback. Those meanings come from the foldout that comes with the deck. It’s definitely going to be interesting. So far, I’ve interviewed it, and the deck comes off as a rat. Lol. I thought that might happen since my cat decks are like cats.
I got both the mini and regular sized decks. (The regular is the size of playing cards.) The mini is getting put away for Christmas. I also knew that the decks came with eighteen rabbit art cards. However, the decks came with a bit more. Nakisha also added a card (The Hermit) from the mini version of the Rabbit Tarot, two art prints, and original mini art. That’s so freaking cool. I love it. I have some of the other decks by Nakisha on my Deck Lust list. I don’t know when I’ll end up getting those since they are quite a few others that I want first, but I do know that when I do get them, I’m going to be really happy. I mean, when I got it, I was even messaged that they were going to be shipped the next day and would take 3-5 business days. That’s so nice to know. I mean, I’m still waiting on these pillows that I ordered from someone on Etsy, and I ordered them two weeks ago. (The tracking says that they are still waiting for the package.)
Really happy with this order. Now I just have to think of what to name it. Lol. I could name it after my rat, so I could always have a way to remember him even when he’s gone. I still have a year or two with him. I have another name, Peter, but I wanted to name the second rat I get that. Hmmmm. Lol.

These look like little Dragon Bugs!!
I found a beautiful copy of the Faeries’ Oracle in a secondhand bookshop for $15 a couple of weeks ago. An impulse purchase, but one I felt very strongly was the right decision… and, having just done my first tentative reading with it, I am all the more sure. It’s such a WARM, friendly deck, and Froud’s art is absolutely stunning. And, just to prove my decks are in cahoots, the reading is, I need to be sensible, wise and creative. I need to open myself to creativity, and focus on the dance and flow of it, not get caught up in trying to be perfect.
One of my contributions for the @capreversebb, picked by the amazing @whtaft / mambo (Ao3) who wrote Bring it On Home To Me for it.
All femme, all PoC, all 80s vibes in this tarot deck I’m working on.
I’ll be doing a small limited edition print run of these cards: so keep your eyes peeled on my instagram (soofiya) or twitter (soofiyac) for more info.
This week, I combined the subject of dessert with the method of game to create Coffeehouse Tarot Cards. I was primarily interested in really capturing a certain aesthetic–I wanted the viewer to smell the coffee grounds as they held the cards, and I think I was successful. I used instant coffee as the medium on the illustrations, and created the vectored back design in Illustrator.
