Tarot Decks – Anima Mundi by Megan Wyreweden

This is one of the most amazing and gentle decks that I use and will be the first one I present on our new channel at Twitch.tv/MyTarot .

The Anima Mundi Tarot was actually a Kickstarter my partner had joined. She was so enamored of this deck she actually purchased one of the original hand painted cards. But upon opening the box, I knew that I would have to adopt this Tarot. It was beautiful, each card had been hand painted, using an animal motif. As Megan Wyreweden states, “The Anima Mundi tarot deck is a full 78 card deck – based off of the Rider-Waite tradition, and inspired by the natural world.”

One thing for me is the importance of having some understanding of the person I am going to read for. There are times when the good old Rider Waite Smith deck gets presented, or one of my various TdM’s (Tarot de Marseille), but when I sense this to be a sensitive moment. One where a truth may need to be revealed gently. This is one of the main decks I go to. Sometimes I find that the message using a traditionally deck with stern angry men, or a harsh woman staring directly at you can be off putting, and actually upsetting for some people. But when that message is presented for example, by a magnificent and proud hawk for the King of Swords. Then more often then I can see a calming understanding start to arise, and in a language the person across from me can understand.
