Tarot Reading
I did a reading for myself tonight, asking some fairly important questions about university.
I’ve applied to 5 universities, and gotten two offers so far from the English unis I applied to. I’m Scottish, so I suppose it’s basically expected of me to go to a Scottish uni for a few reasons but I have a conditional offer for Italian and Japanese at Leeds which is like.. a perfect mix of what I want now and what 10 year old me would fall in love with myself for.
I was applying for Italian and German but found out I needed a Higher German (which I don’t, I have Italian, Spanish, and French) but the university allowed me to switch my choice before they gave me an offer and since I had originally applied to Italian and Japanese (but later changed it to German to fit with my PS) it was some divine sign from the universe.
But I feel as if my mum and my family are trying to pull me closer to home. I’ve had so much pressure to go to a uni closer, even one I could stay at home whilst I study and I just… can’t do that. I want to explore and get out of my comfort zone.
I felt so anxious about my decision, so I decided to do a Celtic Cross spread to help find some clarity.
And boy… would you look at all those Major Arcana cards. In fact, the Ace of Pentacles in itself essentially set out the entire spread. It was a beautifully placed card in this entire spread, along with the King of Swords. In fact, I think all of the cards set themselves into place perfectly and I had very little trouble interpreting it for myself.
I love when things come together like this. It makes me feel so… whole.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
*do not claim this specific spread for yourself. this reading was personal and tailored for myself. if you would like a reading, please message me and we can discuss pricing.

The past three months have been complicated in various aspects of my life. Some things have been of the goodcomplicated kind, others have not. I’m hoping the next month a half will be a respite to start the next academic year full of energy and health. To indulge myself, I have been working non-stop with one of my dream decks: the Cosma Visions Oracle. This one is by the same creative spirit behind the Prisma Visions Tarot, one of my all-time favourite decks (and also of many others in this community).
This deck has sold like hotcakes (the second edition is expected late summer). And I totally understand why. The Visions decks have a magic of their own that can’t be found elsewhere. This deck in particular is different from the two previous Visions instances (Prisma and Light) in that it is an oracle deck. However, it does feature its own structure. James says: “I created this oracle to tell one story of what may happen in the space between lives, re-imagined upon the structure of the traditional 78 card tarot”. As you can see in the images below, the cards are full of vibrancy, life, movement and colour. Palettes are cleverly chosen to aid in the conveying of messages (as you can see, the majors are darker, while the minors are more colour-coded). And, as with anything that James creates, it’s breathtakingly beautiful. The sceneries are magical but natural, earthly elements meet dreamscapes, and all details have a voice of their own.
Let’s delve into its structure a little more, as it is very interesting. The deck features 79 cards as it adds an extra card (in the style of its siblings). The major arcana are bordered, and they tell the story of the soul from death until rebirth. The minors tell stories of life on Earth, and they are split up into five suits (which is the most radical departure from the traditional structure). The first four suits (the Spark of Embers, the Dance of Lotuses, the Flight of Birds, and the Growth of Trees) correspond to the numbered cards of the minors. The fifth suit is called The Importance of Being, and it is made up of the 16 cards that would make up the court cards in a traditional deck. While the first four suits create a 1x10 panorama, the fifth creates a 2x7 one.
The companion guide is a treasure on its own. Over its 113 cards you will be able to know about the magic of the deck. It starts with an introduction, and how to conduct a reading with the deck (including spreads). This is then followed by the bulk of the booklet: the card meanings, which include the name of the card, its mirror card in a traditional deck, keywords, a paragraph on the journey of the soul, and the actual message of the card. Everything is spectacularly designed: the cards feature mesmerising labradorite blue edges and a matte finish, and both the deck and the guide come in a sturdy flip-top box that features gilded details in and out.
TheCosma Visions deck is, indeed, the perfect companion oracle to Prisma Visions and Light Visions. Of course, it also shines on its own. It offers magic for beginners and seasoned readers alike. Beginners may feel it bridge the gap between a freer oracle and a more structured tarot (while offering a wonderful view on courts, which are usually hard for initiates). Those with more experience will surely appreciate a hefty oracle with a structure of its own that allows us to dive deep. And, even for those who are not into tarot, this is a magical treasure of artwork that cannot go unnoticed: it is a conversation piece, a single work of art, a gallery on itself. Keep your eyes peeled for the second edition, and in the meantime, check the rest of James R. Eads decks!
