Children of Litha Tarot

By Alexandria Huntington

Zest Family Rotation 4:

The next school day was Career Day, but Graham Huntington III had his sights on Selina Markovic instead of the presentations. However, Alexandra caught him back at school and invited him to prom! He said yes, and made out with her behind the building.

At home that evening, Cristina Kim-Lewis sneaked into Graham's bedroom and started smacking him in a pillow fight. He then sat down to chat with his childhood friend and talked about his latest drama.

"Wow, I'm glad I never dated you. You'd piss me off so much!"

Meet my decks

Top: The Nameless One Left to Right: Children of Litha, Magpie's Lenormand, Shadowscapes, Silhouettes

The Nameless One by Xia Hunt

With bold, striking art, I love gazing into the depths of this deck to find its meanings. I also love how the Oracle cards open the deck even further for expanding readings.

From Xia's website: A new and ground-breaking fully-illustrated, 108-card, large format deck combining tarot, sigil, oracle, mythology, folklore, & visual narrative. Instead of titles, each card possesses a unique, hand-crafted sigil forged from an affirmation based on the traditional tarot card's positive aspects. This allows one the ability to utilize this deck in countless ways.

The Children of Litha by Xia Hunt

A beautiful gilded first edition, I love reading with this deck because of its vibrant energy and diva attitude.

From Xia's website: A richly illustrated tarot deck by Alexandria Huntington featuring mythological creatures and nature based symbolism. Each of these cards has been lovingly and painstakingly hand illustrated specifically for Tarot. Each card is a product of specialized mediation, manifestation, and magick. The deck includes 80 cards, 78 are re-imaginings of the traditional Rider-Waite Tarot and the 2 additional "bonus" cards of original design: "The All" and "The Void".This brings the deck to a round 80, which in numerology is considered the number of destiny.

Magpie's Lenormand by Rozenn

My first foray into non-tarot Oracle decks. I enjoy reading with the lenormand because a lot of the reading is in the relationship of the cards to each other, the way the simplistic symbols fit together to tell a story. As a fiction writer, its fun to read in this unique way.

From Rozenn's website: I have created a hand-painted Lenormand deck inspired by my deep love of nature and animals. Lenormand is a specific type of cartomancy, similar but different to the tarot you probably know from the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. While RWS has dense symbology and mysticism, Lenormand is more personal, direct, and simplistic. It feels almost conversational, and better suited for daily life.

Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Law

My very first tarot deck. I was drawn in by the dreamy, ethereal quality of the watercolor art, and how easy it is to wander its highly detailed scapes. Every time I read with this deck I find something new, even all these years later. A soft, gentle deck, it offers a great first step into the world of tarot.

From Stephanie's website: The Shadowscapes Tarot was one of the early projects I took on, and the first where I decided to follow my own desires and art instincts.

Silhouettes by MASA

The famed "defective" first edition Silhouettes is vibrant, playful, and straight to the point. This is a workhorse of a deck, with fun extras like Body, Mind, and Spirit cards, and two variants on the Strength and Justice cards. The artist doesn't have much to say about this version, having iterated on it again and again in other versions, but this first edition has been my most requested deck due to its brilliant colors and simple art.

The Mouse and the Thorn

Approach, little mouse, and don't mind the roaring and raging of the beast. You've seen with your sharp eyes what makes a monster of this animal. Your clever hands are quick to grasp the piercing thorn, your nimble fingers deft as you pull it from that great paw.

Never doubt the strength of a mouse, for it was she that saved the beast from the thorn.

Deck is the Nameless One Tarot and Oracle by Alexandria Huntington.
