#Starchild Tarot Akashic

[manifestingalignment]

I’m back - with a Review of my Tarot Collection!✨

Hey Tumblr fellows! It’s been awhile! Last year was a pretty deep year of shadow work for me so I haven’t been around the blogging space in a little while. I also discovered the Fediverse which is where I spend most of my social media time now. It’s amazing!

This year is my 30th birthday and my hubby is gifting me a new tarot deck, so I thought it might be fun to do a review of the tarot and oracle decks I’ve collected over the past 8 years and share them with you! And perhaps you’ll discover some that you’ve never seen before to add to your own collections!

1. Age Of Aquarius Tarot by Yana LéVie

(Ordered on Etsy, will review once it arrives).

I love the aquatic feel of this deck so much. But what makes this deck really unique is it has 88 cards! It features the major and minor arcanas, and a THIRD arcana has been added to this deck called the Universal Arcana (hence, the additional cards). The guidebook also seems really beginner friendly but I'll review this deck properly once I actually have it in my possession.

2. The Starchild Tarot (Akashic Edition) by Danielle Noel

(Ordered from her website).

I purchased this one for it's art style, it was the second deck I ever owned. The images are absolutely stunning. Reading the symbolism in this deck isn't quite as intuitive as other decks and would likely be more difficult for beginners without the guidebook, but some are decent. It's truly a beautiful deck to own for those who love this art style and pastel tones. The guidebook is also fairly detailed and includes upright and reversal meanings, as well as some associations.

3. True Black Tarot by Arthur Wang

(Ordered from his website). 

This deck is so polished, I've never touched cards softer than these ones, and such great quality! A lot of love went into the production of this deck, both in the card stock and the imagery. This is one of my more symbolic decks and I use this one primarily for shadow work. My only grievance with it is the way the cards are labelled. The Minor Arcana card labels are just Roman Numerals and it can be confusing to find some of the cards in the guidebook at times. Arthur Wang recently created another tarot deck I am looking to get in the future called Ephemera, which looks to be just as stunning as his True Black Tarot, except instead of a black theme they are white and gold. It's a brand new deck that just finished funding on Kickstarter and is due to be released this Spring.

4. Spirit De La Lune Oracle by Marissa Rankin and Rachael Tarantella

(Ordered from their website - 🚫  I DON’T recommend buying from them. 🚫 ) 

This is probably the most unique deck I own, as the cards are round, but also, it just has such a unique system and each moon phase and mandala are so beautifully detailed, both in the artwork and in the guidebook. It is a very well done deck, but I don't recommend buying from them directly unfortunately as I had a really negative experience with them in the past. I'd suggest getting this deck from a third party seller if possible if anyone wants it. I purchased a planner from them awhile after purchasing the deck because I loved the deck so much. It was very late arriving in the mail and my husband and I were in the process of moving residences. Had it arrived on time it wouldn't have been any issue, but it didn't arrive before we moved and so I reached out to the seller explaining the situation to see if anything could be done. They were really nice about it in the beginning and offered to send a replacement to our new address, but then after that message they gave me the silent treatment for weeks, they would read my messages asking for an update, but wouldn't respond. They just completely ghosted and never fulfilled the replacement as they had said they would. As a business owner myself, I felt this was handled really poorly, that if they weren't genuine about sending the replacement they shouldn't have said they would do that and then go unresponsive and not follow through. So as much as I still love and use this deck, I can't encourage others to buy it from them, because should it get lost in the mail or any other unfortunate circumstances arise, there will be no help from them and they will ghost.

5. The Constellation Tarot by Iryna/Artismymagic 

(Ordered on Etsy). 

This was my very first tarot deck and I absolutely love it, though, in hindsight it is really not a good deck for beginners at all. I am a very visual person and LOVE the artwork in this deck, but it is very difficult to read on an intuitive level unless you know what certain constellations mean as many are what make up the major arcana in this deck. The guidebook also is not a very detailed and not great quality. That might have changed since I purchased it years ago as she did make some updates since then. I still love this deck and use it occasionally, and have had a lovely experience with the creator Iryna. She made some updates to the packaging since I purchased it years ago and mailed me the new box to keep my cards in.

6. The Weaver Tarot (Journeyer Edition) by Threads Of Fate 

(Ordered from their website). 

This is such an aesthetically pleasing deck. The cards are beautiful holographic with foil and I think it is decent for it's symbolism. It comes with a reference card that is really helpful to show what different card symbols mean that they repeat throughout the deck. As much as I fell in love with the aesthetic of this deck, I never really ended up connecting with it. I didn't connect with the language within the guidebook and felt there were some inconsistencies with the symbolism. Just not a good frequency match I guess. Hoping to maybe one day trade it for a different tarot deck I want more. There’s no doubt this is a stunning deck though, and the quality is incredible!

7. Isis Oracle by Alana Fairchild 

(Purchased on Amazon). 

I will NEVER NOT recommend this deck! This deck is by far one of the most detailed decks I have ever owned and connect with on such a deep level. This is one of the decks I always turn to when I need loving guidance or spiritual "mom" advice. It isn't just about the artwork with this deck, but the guidebook is so incredibly detailed. The messages for each card are several pages and every card includes a ritual that connects with it and the message it brings to help you go inward with it. This is just such a special deck. This is one of those rare decks that you can just tell the creator of the deck made it from deeply spiritual place, that her spiritual process was incorporated throughout the entire process. I have never encountered that with any deck before, not like this. It feels like many of these messages were channeled. I just love this deck and can't recommend it enough.

8. Starlight Frequencies Oracle by Leah of ShopDarkMoonCrystals

(Ordered from Etsy shop). 

I am so glad I got this when she first released this deck because this version of the deck is no longer in production. The creator of the deck released this version in the beginning but decided to go in a totally different direction with it, so the new version looks nothing like this one. But I really like this version better than the new one. The backgrounds have really soft color gradients with holographic accents on each of the cards. It is a very minimalistic deck, giving only minimal guidance in the guidebook, but it was intended this way as this deck was meant to be more for intuitive practice.

9. Forest Of Enchantment Tarot by Lunaea Weatherstone and Meraylah Allwood

(Ordered from Amazon)

This deck is one I had my eye on for awhile before purchasing. I fell in love with the artwork because it reminded me so much of the fairytale storybooks I used to read as a child. So much love and creativity went into this deck. The suits have a different name than traditional tarot decks, and the artwork is so detailed and has so much symbolism. You really gotta study the images in this deck as there are so many hidden details and symbols within the artwork. There are two decks in my collection that really speak to me and seem as though they really come to life, and it is this one and the Isis Oracle previously mentioned. These two decks are my main go-to decks, because they feel so kindred to me. Highly recommend the Forest of Enchantment Tarot!

10. Lucid Dreams Tarot by Britta/St.Soleil 

(Purchased on Etsy, though, their Etsy shop was shut down. This deck can still be purchased from their website)

In my opinion, this is the best tarot deck for beginners out there! It has the upright and reversal meanings right on the cards, as well as the astrological symbols, zodiac and elemental keys. The guidebook is incredibly thorough as well and includes the meanings to everything on the cards, including a guide to numerology in the tarot! The artwork in this deck is heavily based on the Rider-Waite tarot, though, in my opinion the artwork in this deck is so much more appealing and just looks so elegant! I highly recommend this deck to any beginner. As for their Etsy shop being shut down, this was due to them being overwhelmed with orders a couple years ago during the holiday season. The decks were a few weeks delayed in being shipped out, which resulted in a whole bunch of people leaving negative reviews and requesting refunds in fear they wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas. People still got their decks but all the refund requests and negative reviews due to delays I think got them shut down. I still recommend purchasing from them because they are honest, they just got overwhelmed with more orders than they could handle I think for the season. The deck can be purchased from their website.

11. Archangel Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue 

(Purchased at a thrift store)

Under other circumstances I probably wouldn't have purchased this deck, but I found the Angel Card Reading Kit that still had the DVD for it inside, and it was such a cheap price I couldn't pass it up! Though it's not my particular taste, the artwork is pretty though and I have had some really amazing experiences with it. In 2020 I made a Vision Board and drew a card from this deck for the year, and the card I drew was the Writing card with Archangel Gabriel. This felt like such a divine message for me as I did go on to do a lot of meaningful writing that year and helped a lot of people through it. Ever since it has been my go-to deck for angelic messages and guidance and will remain a permanent part of my collection.

  There is a bit of controversy with Doreen Virtue. A few years ago she switched he path to Christianity and discouraged the use of divination. A lot of people betrayed by her for this and got rid of decks they owned by her. Personally, her change in spirituality doesn't bother me. I understand why people feel this way about her work now, but the way I see it, everyone is on their own journey and as we grow on our path, we change. Just because she switched paths and no longer supports divination and her old work doesn't mean that what she made in the past no longer has value. I've come to love this deck, and her lifestyle change has nothing to do with me or the value this deck has brought to me on my journey. To each their own!

Thank you so much everyone for reading and I hope you guys have maybe discovered some new decks here that you've never seen before! If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer!

Mercury in retrograde reading - Using the @starchildtarot Akashic by @daniellenoel.art

Tarot spread curtesy of @thewitchoftheforest

Fake fur hat from @spirithoods

How do I ignore my authentic voice?

1) Knight of Cups - Stuck in a romantic fantasy. Emotionally demanding/needy. Illogical expectations and emotional reaction.

What scares me about speaking my truth?

2) Five of Swords - Self inflicted entrapment. Loss, gossip, mistrust. But also can lead to positive change if you put in the work. A need for closure you may never get. Fears, trauma and unresolved issues hold you back. Ignore negative thoughts and opinions from yourself and others.

How can I connect to my true voice?

3) Transformation - Elimination of distractions and difficulties. Your true priorities have been exposed allowing you to move forward. Continued spiritual growth and a change in relationships.

What is stopping me embracing who I am?

4) Knight of Crystals - Too set in your ways, stagnant energy, boredom, restlessness. Time to take constructive action. Remain focused on one small goal at a time. This also refers to a very loyal and responsible person in your life who can provide insight and knowledge if and when needed. You can count on them to guide you through this process.

How will this help me communicate better with the people around me?

5) King of Cups - By gaining back emotional strength and control over your life. Balancing work and hobbies. Connection and guidance through your higher self. Emotional maturity.

How can I connect to my intuition on a deeper level?

6) Nine of Wands - Overwhelming responsibility and limitations. However, your hard work and efforts are paying off. You have the inner strength, wisdom and preserverance to move forward. Their may be a minor setback or obstacle. Don’t lose sight of your goal. You’re almost there. You can and WILL achieve the success you seek.

[glamourzombie]

I had quite a hectic day today (recess was complicated), but tomorrow it’s Friday and I’ll be back home to celebrate my nephew’s first birthday! So, I am taking a break from cleaning my apartment to blog about a beautiful deck: the Starchild Tarot. Created by Danielle Noel, this dreamy 79 card deck explores pastel dreamscapes filled with sacred symbols, and it is designed with the intention of connecting to our inner wisdom, higher selves, the universe and the deeper realms of spirit.

Let me start by mentioning one very personal but necessary quirk: for me, this has been a very afternoon-evening deck. Allow me to explain myself: these cards work perfectly for what I consider liminal moments - like when I am a bit dozy after my 3 pm lunch and I feel like taking a nap, when I come back from my daily walks, when the sun is setting and I have just had a warm shower... For some reason, the mellow colour palette and the magical artwork seem to both embrace and pierce (at the same time) these threshold moments, and heighten my intuition in just a moment.

The cards are filled with cosmic motifs, characters that exude freedom, striking architecture, geometry, and breathtaking landscapes. It is the culmination of many paintings, illustrations and photographic elements created by Danielle. Each card is impressive on its own, but when you see them together it feels like they are all snapshots from another world that some mysterious photographer took for us. Yes, it feels kind of psychedelic, but I like that! There are some changes in the majors (for example, Death is Transformation and the Devil is Oppression) as well as one extra card, Akashic Records. The pentacles suit is changed to that of Crystals, which rounds the whole aesthetic. On top of that, the matte cards feature an (also matte) gold edging, and the illustrations are borderless.

The 169 page guidebook includes lots of information for each card, including reversed meanings. It is very personal, inner-self oriented and focused on healing. Anything else you may need to know when using the deck is present, including spreads - and the names of the models for the cards, too! To top everything, the beautifully designed box is sturdy and features foil details.

The Starchild Tarot is visually breathtaking, but its true beauty resides in its ability to trigger even the most minimal whit of intuition, and (more personally) the peculiar threshold vibe or liminality that surrounds its dreamscapes. The cosmic artwork and the serene palette is so eye catching that even looking at it without any sort of deeper motivation is a pleasure. Danielle Noel manages to bring us closer to our own magical nooks one card at a time, so make sure to check out the Starchild Tarot, and her newest creation, the Moonchild Tarot - review coming soon!

Three of swords: Sorrow. Learning from pain. Realization. Growth. Awareness. Sacrifice of old patterns. Decks: “The Starchild Tarot Akashic Edition” deck “R.Black” deck (in process) “Rider Waite Tarot” deck “Three of Swords - After Tarot (Giulia Massaglia & Pietro Alligo)” deck

After great pain, a formal feeling comes – The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs – The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’ And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’? The Feet, mechanical, go round – A Wooden way Of Ground, or Air, or Ought – Regardless grown, A Quartz contentment, like a stone – This is the Hour of Lead – Remembered, if outlived, As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow – First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go –

7.29.19 // spiritual energies spread

This is actually a spread from the Starchild tarot guidebook that I wanted to test on the chance it makes a good reading for my shop. Danielle calls this spread the “Akashic Spread”, but I feel like I’ll be using that name for a more in-depth reading for my shop, so I’m calling this smaller one “Spiritual Energies.”

1.) Higher self: what will be shared through signs, clues, visions, and so on: The Hierophant. I feel like this is such an appropriate card for my higher self, because it’s just full of cosmic power and wisdom. Spiritual power. This card seems pretty straightforward to me, indicating that my higher self will be sharing spiritual wisdom through signs, visions, synchronicities, etc. I can’t help but notice the emphasis on the third eye region of the figure, too.

2.) My current energies: what I need to process at this time: The Magician. As someone in the midst of manifesting, I believe this is what The Magician is referring to. Part of my work with Morpheus has been learning how to properly set the stage for manifesting my dreams, and I’m learning that I need to ensure I have the proper tools for transmutation. This card speaks to me of aligning my energies and my power for ultimate creation.

3.) Lower vibrations: what I need to release to raise my frequency: Knight of Swords, reversed. This card has such a big “guardian of the gate” vibe, especially since this man seems to be guarding the pathway to another world. The Knight of Swords, however, traditionally represents an assertive, enthusiastic, and driven individual, and the fact that this card came up reversed makes me wonder if perhaps I’ve been too impulsive or impatient lately. Emphasis on the impatience, especially since this came up in an earlier reading with Morpheus. One of my biggest challenges lately is trusting that things are still taking shape with regards to my dreams. “Trust, confidence, patience” has been a mantra for me lately.

4.) Karmic imprints: what am I repeating from past life experiences? Ten of Swords. “Mental burden” was what immediately popped into my head when I saw this card, as in allowing thoughts (my own and those from others) to weigh me down and keep me down. I’ve had so many issues over the course of my life where thoughts were, quite literally, weapons to wound me, whether intentional or not. I had a tendency to victimize myself, especially in past years, because I couldn’t work up the self-security and confidence to disregard the thoughts of others. This has been a major message from Spike, so I’m not surprised to see this card pop up. I am interested, however, in exploring how this manifested in my past lives.

5.) Ascension: is there anything in my own Akashic library that I should learn about? Ten of Cups, reversed. This is an interesting answer to a question like this. If Ten of Cups indicates emotional abundance and harmony, then reversed, it speaks of lack, or undeveloped energy. Perhaps the answer, then, is learning how to achieve emotional abundance and/or harmony, learning how to let my emotions flow, rather than stifling them (I have a tendency to do this, especially when I’m stressed).

Interesting. More information to explore!

A Journey of Connecting to Intuition

I started out just reading for myself. At that point in my life, I was very removed from my intuition. I was struggling to trust my thoughts, emotions, and body; recovering from sexual trauma and reclaiming my identity. There were so many parts of me that I wanted to connect to. Spirituality, sexuality, gender identity; I wanted to let these parts of me (that I had never gotten a chance to express) out.

From a young age, I wanted to explore my spirituality separate from my parent’s beliefs. The first time I felt drawn to the tarot as a tool was when I was 12. I was in a mall in Campbell River, and came across a pop-up store that was stocked with crystals, tarot decks, and other items that you would find in my bedroom today! However, this was my first time seeing a tarot deck. I don’t remember what art was covering the box, but my hand drew near to the box. I almost picked it up, the felt connection to it was calling to my being, but I didn’t. Even though it was my first time seeing a deck, I knew I wouldn’t be allowed to keep such a thing in my parents’ home.

Fast forward to a Maverick who had recently moved to Burnaby, living separate from my parents, I finally had my first tarot deck. It was the Starchild Akashic Tarot by Danielle Noel (you can follow her @daniellenoel.art on Instagram!), and the soft colour palette and imagery really spoke to that point of my life. I was sensitive, vulnerable, and Danielle’s art gave me a vector to explore that with gentleness. The first few readings that I did for me were clumsy. I followed the guide book closely, I used spreads that others created with the questions they proposed. I wasn’t using my intuition at all. The intent I had to connect to my internal knowing, was not being honoured.

I knew I wasn’t acting in alignment, I knew that if I wanted to get the most out of using that tool that tarot is, I had to let go of my belief that there was a ‘right way’ to read the tarot. I had the definition-style knowledge of the cards already (my special interest became tarot cards for quite some time), but I wasn’t looking at what personal message the cards might be trying to offer me. When I first let go of the perfectionism and looked at the cards as art, as pieces of wisdom that I was connecting to, I received a message that my knowledge wouldn’t have brought me. The power of my intuition was finally acknowledged by my whole being.

Tarot and oracle cards are now something I incorporate into my routine. I draw cards for each month, I do yearly forecasts, and when I have questions that I want clarity on, I consult my decks. It’s become a part of my life that I wouldn’t want to be without.

What are some things that you use to connect to your Self?

Is there any part of your self-care routine that you wouldn’t want to live without?

Pre-Pathfinder Reading for Celia, Space Archaeologist Hacker ft. the Starchild Akashic Tarot 

Companion Music: Black Sheep - Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World Soundtrack

Energy: Two of Wands - Even as you are about to meet your “past”, you’re looking beyond it/him. This was never your end game, just a small (and, granted, important) part of the story. 

Challenge: Six of Crystals - “You will see the one you are looking for, but whether or not you can do anything for him I cannot say.” Yeah, that’s right, the actual prophecy from Catrin, Furthest Seer of the Order of Imminent Dawn. Time to figure out if you can or cannot. 

Advice: Page of Swords - Use your words with care. Be clever, but also sincere. Be the messages you wish to impart. 

Shadow: Ten of Cups - Look, being so in tune with your past is only a problem if you let it rule your present. It’s alright to have these mixed feelings from Che and Nyima’s experiences with Odysseus/Otrin/O-whatever, but you’re not living their lives right now. The best self you can be right now is YOU.
