Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot - Walkthrough & Thoughts

This is the Turning Terrestrial Tides Tarot by Sara Calvarese-Allen, published by PM Press. I backed the deck on Kickstarter, but it should be pretty widely available now as PM’s items are. They’re a great publisher for non-fiction books as well. Get the deck here: pmpress.org/in...

What a beautiful deck. Ive just brought this from a local bookshop. Its interesting that a mass market deck would be on kickstarter ❤

[@aquamarine18]

Yes it is! 💜 The publisher is quite a small one; they often will kickstart their newest book titles to help fund the first printing -- this is their first (of two planned so far) tarots so I suppose they just did the same!

I didn't realize it was poker-sized, not tarot-sized - it totally matches the zine vibe. The cards would look awesome when laid out next to each other, it does look like reading an actual zine! I'm not typically into monochromatic decks; I feel this one does it well. Thank you for this chill walkthrough!

[@aquamarine18]

💜I do like that this one is smaller - easier to thrown in my waist pack and take to shows!

[@WaterChildTarot]

This deck is really cool. Not my jam, but I can appreciate its existence and its execution of the zine look.

Watching your walk through I was reciting my "I do not need this deck, I will not add this to my wishlist" mantra in my head! Then you read the guidebook entries... Hook line & sinker! I'm totally going to be adding this deck to my collection 🤦 Dag nam it! 😆 Thanks for a great walk through 🌼

[@aquamarine18]

I hope you enjoy the deck when it arrives! 💜💜

Fellow grammarian, you took the words out of my mouth. Tangible is not a noun, but I think it works here.😅 I really like the word collages in the majors, but not so much in the minors. I also don't mind card renaming in the majors, but a title on a minor really distracts me. I think it's because I see the majors as energies and the minors as more mundane, so they are more clearly defined in my mind, and words are distractions. I like the court renamed as life phases.💜 because

💜 This sums up my challenges with this one -- I am surprised I was drawn to it in some ways because keywords are not my thing, but this just feels so nostalgic for me.

[@tangytarot]

SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!!!

Ok this is such a cool deck!! I adore the zine aesthetic. I usually struggle with name changes in cards and courts, but it works in this one. I’m also a grammar person haha but tangibles works 😅 I think I’d use it as an oracle… maybe? I’m definitely adding it to my maybe list 👀

[@aquamarine18]

💜Yeah it does feel more oracle than anything to me honestly, I think just because of how much text it has, but I'm enjoying it! Definite nostalgia.

[@TheOracleAndGrove]

I'm not sure yet as to how I feel about the deck. Love your videos. I find them to be super informative

[@aquamarine18]

💜 Me either honestly! I will say it's well made for a mass market deck for sure. I don't like all the suit namings. I do use it more like an oracle deck.

[@AuntyKsTarot]

Black and white isn't my fave but since it's zine style - I love it. Wish list. Thanks for sharing a walk through

[@TarotMagpie]

Oh this is so cool. It's not out until November in the UK but there is a good chance I will be getting this!

[@aquamarine18]

If you do, I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts!💜

Cool deck that reminds me of highschool in the 90's. But it's over $60 for me and I'm not sure I can swing it.

[@aquamarine18]

It may come down or go on sale, being mass market - the publisher does sales on their site sometimes! 💜

[@aquamarine18]

Hey, not sure if it will make that difference for you, but PM Press has a 20% off sale coupon for it now - code FEBRUARY.
