Mystic Dreamer Tarot

Mystic Dreamer Tarot Cover

Book: Mystic Dreamer Tarot by Heidi Darras

The Mystic Dreamer Tarot by Barbara Moore is a wonderfully drawn and colored deck. The images on the cards deliver clear meanings to me, and they many layers of depth to them. When I read cards, I look at the foreground, gathering the meaning of the whole card. Then I look at images further into the background, and tie them in with the entire meaning.

This deck resonated with my soul as soon as I saw it! I knew it was the deck for me! It just arrived yesterday and I LOVE it! The artwork is surreal, dream-like, and inspires the imagination! I am a Witch, but until recently, I have been hesitant to try divination. As soon as I had this deck in my hand I felt like I needed to start using them. The style of the artwork and the intuitive questions with each make them PERFECT for meditation, dream work, creative writing, and RPG's! They are also excellent for readings. The intuitive questions may throw people who feel the need to follow strict guidelines and rules, but I found them quite useful. There is an element of the Dark Goddesses about all of the artwork which is a rare find! Every card is captivating-not just the Major Arcana like in some tarot decks.

The Moore has done a phenomenal job designing the cards to allow readers to do this. The cards contain a clear general meaning, and enough detail in the background to give the important details needed to make the entire message clear. However, there aren't too many details in the background to where the entire card blurs together.

The deck also comes with a book, called The Dreamer's Journal, which has plenty of useful information. Like many other books included with tarot decks, the book discusses all of the cards, and their general meanings. However, this book includes more. It also includes a few brief sections on how to read tarot cards, keeping a tarot journal, tarot spreads to use, and a small section on dream work, and using the cards to do so.

Overall, this is a phenomenal deck. What I recommend to do, just like with all tarot decks, is to Google images of the cards, and see how well you can read them. If you feel drawn to the cards, look more into this deck. I personally adore this deck. The combination of the fantastic artwork of the cards, and the accompanied book is a great tool for psychics and non-psychics alike to develop their skills, or practice using tarot cards.

However, just because this deck was the right one for me does not mean it will be for everyone. No deck is for everyone. I looked at literally EVERY Tarot Deck Amazon sells to find "my" deck. I would recommend everyone doing the same. Always follow your own intuition, especially with something as special as Your Tarot deck.
