Review of issues 1, 2 and 3 of Total Tarot magazine with a look at the magazine content and "free gifts". including the Golden Art Noveau Tarot and Radiant Wise Spirit Tarot decks. Magazine is retailing in the UK.
Honestly I’m on a no buy year and yet that rush to buy is a real thing. I watched this and was thinking I want it I want it. Lol the thought of a little package through the post every fortnight and collecting cards… triggered my collecting gene. I was clicking off to check out subscribing and everything. I’ve had to take a moment and calm down and wait for the rush to go! That pull to consume is a real thing. So I’m appreciating so much this sharing and leaving it there. Still no buy, still decluttering like you and trying to use what I have. Thank you for the rush 😂❤️
Oh I know what you mean. That's like me looking at the subscriber gifts and thinking "oooh goodies" but when I reflected - did I need those crystals? Have I wanted the Thelema Tarot (which is next) when I've seen it in shops over the years? No. I don't need all the STUFF! I'm glad you could get the wee rush of the new thing without having to buy it xx
This magazine is definitely not aimed at me but I think it's a brilliant idea. It's going to help reduce barriers to entry to tarot. Someone may not buy a book but a magazine may be more enticing. I'm actually surprised something like this hasn't been done before. I own the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot and the magazine deck is definitely larger. It's very good but not as gold as the Golden Tarot of Klimt - that's a bling deck! The normal version of the Golden Art has similar cardstock but it has a core so the cards will not crease. The complete magazine deck will become a rare collectors edition - there won't be that many that collect all the issues. This Radiant Wise with borders is the original 'Dirty Pam'. It's based on the Pam B.
Sooooooo fun! Totally agree with the consumption omgsh. I feel I'm struggling a bit with it 😱- so glad I got the issues for the Radiant Wise Spirit though. I may buy a couple more if there is a deck I want in there but otherwise probably not - I've been hacking up the magazines to use the pics of the cards in my tarot journal 😂 💜
Ooooh that's a good idea! Cut up the magazines... might not pass them on after all. 🤣 My friend has my Good Karma Tarot and the book with that is pretty good anyway.
Thank you for sharing this ☺ it's lucky for me that I am not a fan of the RWS as I am in Australia. Oh I meant to tell you - I received my Irish RWS yesterday!! That one I love as I am going to practice until I can read every word (if I live long enough 🤪) PS - I just received the Harmonious tarot too, it is beautiful 💖
Like you, I think this magazine is for total beginners. I bought the first 3 issues so I could have a "free" deck to add to my collection but content is pretty poor. I would agree that a good book is a better investment.

Good point. The whole thing will probably become a collectible.
Might have to check out the golden tarot of klimt for the gooooold! 😆

Oh fantastic! I got my irish teacher to go over the pronunciation with me soni need to get practicing and put up a video for you!
Im after the dirty Pam for years now. Wish they would ship internationally
Or just reissue the deck in the old format! They'd definitely have a market for it!

Yep! It's pretty but lacks depth.
I was getting excited but if it's not available in US. What a bommer! There isn't one or some that is sold here in the US? Do you know? Thank you
No idea if they are planning to bring anything like this out in the US. I'm sorry!
