Divination cards for modern mystics

No divination tool round-up is complete without mentioning the classic original Rider Waite Tarot cards, which many say are still the best. First published in 1909, this traditional set is perfect for long-standing tarot loyalists who like to do things by the book. This deck is also perfect for beginners, as all tarot cards are derived from this deck.

Reviews: "My very first deck! I'm in love with it-although I can see what other users are saying about its re-print being sub-par. Since this is my first deck and I don't know any of the cards, it doesn't bother me because I am not yet reading the detail. If you are a season tarot reader, you may be disappointed!"

These tarot cards are based on the Rider-Waite-Smith deck but feature artwork with better representation and diversity. It is important to be inclusive in our spiritual practices. This deck features images of people from all cultures and more women - making it the perfect deck for contemporary mystics. It contains a guidebook and is good for beginners too. If you are looking for a deck that exudes female empowerment, this would be an excellent choice.

Review: "Iconic... This is absolutely a deck made for the age and era we are in today... It gives visibility to those who have historically been marginalized and here are depicted as powerful, confident, and in command.' - Benebell Wenbr

"Absolutely fabulous tarot deck. I'm really new to Tarot myself, and it's taken me a year to find a deck I felt connected to. I like that these are close enough to the Rider Waite deck but up to date and Modern (hence the name)."

Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams illustrates the energy of a different animal. Each animal in the deck symbolises a different energy - such as the snake representing transformation and transmutation. This deck and guidebook describe how to use cards, and in the description, it writes the Native American history of the animal and their beliefs. If you feel drawn to working with animals, this is the deck for you.

Review: "A potent yet refreshingly simple divination tool that can help up reconnect to the sources of life's natural guidance...extraordinarily well crafted. This work is plentiful, overflowing with the richness of the Native American way of life." -Yoga Journal

Review: "These cards are absolutely breathtaking. I bought them for a friend for her birthday, and we have fallen head over heels in love with them. Every reading is so accurate and brings so much emotion to the space."

The Wild Unknown Tarot features 63 gorgeous cards split into five suits structured by the five yogic elements — earth, water, fire, air and ether. The Wild Unknown doesn't use traditional symbology but rather its own nature-based images, so this isn't the best deck for beginners to start off with.

Review: "I totally recommend this deck; it has completely changed my life. It is so special, so pretty. I've never seen such a special Tarot. As soon as I held it in my hands, I knew it was "special". It seems as though it's coming from the depths of another world, a magical world. If I should describe it with one single word, I would actually call it "The magical deck."

This deck would be a wonderful gift. There is a large choice of box colours to choose from, and a wooden box and bag will protect your cards and make them easy and safe to carry. The deck includes 78 vintage cards with beautiful stars and sparkles overlay.

Review: "I literally love this deck! I got them so quickly, and I live on an island, so I was very surprised at how quickly I received them. They are beautiful and very sturdy, and cards are a little hard to shuffle but only because they are quality cards. I definitely recommend these cards! I also got the Black and Gold Cards! I used the Diamond Cards for Love readings and the Black and Gold for career readings!"

I love the holographic edging too. I've not noticed any issues with mine, the cards came apart easily, and there are no printing errors. I'm very pleased I get to have these beautiful cards in my collection."

Review: "The Angels and Ancestors Oracle Cards, the latest release by Kyle Gray, comes in the standard Hay House box with an accompanying book, but the moment you remove the cards from their wrapper, you soon realise there is nothing standard about this deck at all, it is exceptional! Lily Moses' artwork is so beautiful and powerful, and there are cards where you could hold and sit with and never tire of looking at."
