Another tarot deck!!
I bought another tarot deck! It’s The Bastards tarot deck designed by Emerson Barrett from Palaye Royale. Like a month before it was announced I said to a friend that emerson should totally design a tarot deck bc it would suit his style so well and idk I guess the gods heard me thanks Loki, you sneaky ass motherfucker. Anyway, it won’t come for ages bc it’s a preorder that ships on the 5th of November but the preorder is $5 cheaper than it will be after the shipping date so it’s definitely worth the wait.
The deck is $22 USD which is £17.03, for a contemporary deck, that’s actually pretty cheap, but if you in the uk like I am… the shipping is another $20 so the total comes to $42 which is about £32.50 which is a little expensive but before the deck came out I was kinda expecting it to cost that much BEFORE shipping prices, so I was happy to pay it… even though I’m now broke
The deck apparently has 130+ cards as opposed to the classic 78 card deck. From what I know, it has the 78 card rider waite deck completed reimagined, and then just a whole load of completely new cards, so it’ll be really interesting to do readings with.
Really excited for this deck!!!
The year ahead
For year ahead tarot spreads, you can totally do them from whatever month it is to the same month next year, but I decided to do a January-December one for 2020 and oh boy. Ooft
- January - The World
- February - IV of Swords
- March - II of Wands
- April - The Moon
- May - The Tower
- June - The Emperor
- July - VI of Wand
- August - Justice
- September - Temperance
- October - Strength
- November - Daughter of Pentacles
- December - Daughter of Wands
- The year - III of Cups
To understand how intense that is, I have a very important set of exams in may and then start the scottish equivalent of senior year in august. Next year going to be insane and this reading spooked me a little. With tarot cards, I view them as simply a suggestion. And this in basically saying that if I don’t get my shit together now, while it will work out anyway, it will be much less complicated and less stressful. So… I’m gonna get my shit together lmao.
Also I am absolutely in love with this deck oh my god
Also, if you’re following this blog, it would be cool if you followed the instagram page to go along with it its @/xobsidian_witchcraftx, thanks. I know self promo is annoying but this blog is doing much better than the Instagram so I figured I’d add it
Year spread
The year spreads I usually do just month by month spread but this time i did a spread based on aspects of the year and i thought I’d share it (I found the spread on tumblr btw but I can’t remember who’s it is)
(Please excuse my handwriting, I don’t usually post stuff with my own writing but I didn’t want to type it out again)

Fml it was supposed to arrive today but no one was here so now it’s coming on friday instead. Oh well… 2 days isn’t bad at all! If if I did have to pay an extra £12.50 for customs I may or may not have got my dad to pay it… bc I am a child.
Someone talk witchcraft with me !!
PICK A PILE
what do you need to heal from, forgive, or move forward from?
disclaimer: PLEASE TAKE WHAT RESONATES, AND LEAVE WHAT DOESN’T. I believe that every card is pulled for a reason, however this is my personal interpretation of them and it may not be fully resonating and accurate for every person.
PILE ONE (left)
- you’ve likely experienced some kind of missed opportunity. you may have started to pursue something that inspires you or you’re passionate about - it could have even been a new person there was some kind of spark with - but it didn’t work out the way you had hoped. this loss, failure or disappointment could have left you feeling stuck, unenthusiastic and unmotivated. remember that everything happens for a reason, and what is truely meant for you will not pass you by. if we didn’t experience some negative situations we wouldn’t be able to learn and grow. don’t allow obstacles and roadblocks to discourage you. continue to trust yourself and follow your heart, because the right opportunity will be coming towards you and you’re getting closer to being aligned with it.
PILE TWO (middle)
- recently you may have been feeling like you have a million things to do. you’re world is surrounded in chaotic, busy energy. maybe you have a new job or responsibility, or have a hobby or something on the side that is taking some of your time and energy. you’re being guided to slow down and heal your mind from this overwhelming stressful energy. you are probably adapting and managing your situation effectively, but it also may be starting to control you in a way. it may be a lot more beneficial for you to prioritise or focus on one thing at a time. it’s time to move on from this stage and start to find more balance in your life.
PILE THREE (right)
- either there is a person in your life who is quite emotionally immature and childish, but is sensitive and gentle in a way, and you’re being asked to let them go and move on from them. maybe they were toxic or you are no longer benefiting from having them in your life. or, you may have worn your heart on your sleeve in the past and even could have been too trusting or saw things through rose tinted glasses in a way. and the universe may be reminding you be realistic. still believe anything is possible, but also be wise and use lessons you have learnt to not allow yourself to be deceived by anything.
THANK YOU!! please like and reblog if anything resonated!! <3

(photo of cards at bottom, click for clearer image)
pile one - left
the world
- there may be a situation in your life where you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. this card suggests you may only be looking at or currently understanding a small portion of what is actually going on. it’s also about achievement. maybe you are overlooking your successes and accomplishments, or not giving yourself enough credit and recognition for them.
pile two - middle
two of swords
- you may not be seeing your options clearly. you might need to wait to learn more information. that could mean being unsure or having a clouded vision of what your options even are in the first place. or if you do know, maybe you can’t see the path or direction your decisions will lead you down. there is stuck, confused and indecisive energy.
pile three - right
nine of cups
- there could be something or someone in your life that you are taking for granted, even with no negative intention or by accident. you aren’t fully seeing or appreciating the effort and energy they give to you. you may not realise how important your happiness is to them. or if it’s a situation or place, you may benefit from making the most of it incase it is not always available to you.
THANK YOU!! please like and reblog if anything resonated!! <3
love to all
