Often times when people, sometimes including myself, talk about different tarot decks we can get tied up discussing detailed symbolism, the history and\/or credentials of the designer, or the mechanics of the deck itself. What I’m saying is that although interesting, sometimes we suck the fun right out of a deck.<\/p>\n

With the deck I have for you today, I don’t want to talk too much about it. I just want you to try and experience the joy and whimsy of it. In fact, it’s called the “Joie de Vivre Tarot” by Paulina Cassidy and joie de vivre is French for the joy of living!<\/p>\n

I don’t think my scans really do them justice, but just look at Cassidy’s “High Priestess” and “The Fool”.<\/p>\n

And folks, it’s been a long time since the Minor Arcana has thrilled me. When is the last time a “Seven of Cups” has delighted you this much?<\/p>\n

The introduction to the book accompanying the deck says, “The Joie de Vivre tarot deck is designed to access the child-like energy in each one of us to help stimulate, enhance, and inspire joy in our own lives.”<\/p>\n

Mission accomplished Ms. Cassidy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Paulina Cassidy’s “Joie de Vivre Tarot” gets me to stop over-thinking the tarot and instead brings a flood of joy.
