They’re fairly shiny but I haven’t had any issues with glare, even as I look at them at night under artificial light.

The Spiritsong Tarot deck merges Tarot magic with animal guides, allowing us to use the wisdom of wildlife to guide our life. These aspects of my childhood are scattered throughout the deck, and so I was excited to dive deep into the forest. But for me the “better” spreads are the Breadcrumbs and Moonstones, The Owl’s Advice, and The Council of Animals.The old gnarled trees lining twisting woodland paths, thorns, and depictions of witches, wizards, elves, faeries, and forest beasts really help bring out the magical enchanted feel in these cards, along with a lovely color pallet of dark greens, browns, and muted blues.

If the Forest of Enchantment Tarot deck isn’t for you, there are still some great decks available that focus on nature and wildlife!
