The Goodie Bag Tarot Review - By Lizzie’s World
I
review a lot of Tarot decks on my website and I wanted to share my top three with you, in no particular order. Tarot of the Sidhe - Emily Carding As Emily states, “Trying to define the Sidhe is rather like trying to capture liquid light in a glass box, their true nature is more truly felt and experienced than expressed in words or theories”. The Sidhe are not merely fairies that fly from flower to flower. They are a distinct race, separate from human-kind, yet sharing constant contact with earthlings in daily interaction... some good, some not too good for the humans.

Epicurean Tarot Recipe Cards Corrine Kenner Packaged in an over sized box for display in the kitchen, these are superb cards with a brief explanation of the tarot card imagery. Alongside you will find a delicious and quite detailed recipe which comes with a complete list of all necessary ingredients to complete the dish. There is a large white book that comes with this set and wonderfully details the tradition of tarot cooking and explanations for each tarot card in the deck. There’s even ways to use these gorgeous cards in a spread called the Cook’s Cross and a three card, meal planning spread. Corrine Kenner did a fantastic job on this deck and I have to say it would be an excellent gift for the cook who has everything or just a wonderful gift idea for the tarot lover...a true “must have!”
