Tarot and Witchcraft: How the Witch Tarot Aligns with Modern Witchcraft Practices

By admin

The witch tarot is a fascinating and mystical form of divination that provides insight into various aspects of life. This unique tarot deck draws inspiration from witchcraft and paganism, incorporating symbolism and imagery that resonate with those who connect with these spiritual practices. In a traditional tarot deck, there are 78 cards divided into two main categories: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent significant life events and spiritual lessons, while the Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit represents a different aspect of life, such as emotions, intellect, and material abundance. The witch tarot follows a similar structure, but with a unique twist.


A beautiful, collectible treasure for any Young Witch to start their journey with. Hand your favorite witchlet (even if that’s you) a deck made just for them. A magnet latch book-box treasure filled with 78 accident-proof cards of easy-to-read pure magic and entertainment.

Beautiful RWS learner deck with reworked line art and coloring, helpful memorization poems, storybook box with magnet clasp, and waterproof plastic cards. And even the more experienced audiences will gain from Rebecca s concise description of the meditation process; how the chakras affect our state of mind and hence our emotions.

The witch tarot follows a similar structure, but with a unique twist. Instead of the traditional suits, this tarot deck incorporates the elements commonly associated with witchcraft: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. These elemental suits provide a different lens through which to interpret the cards, adding depth and richness to the readings.

The Young Witch Deck and Bag

Introducing the Young Witch tarot deck!

A beautiful, collectible treasure for any Young Witch to start their journey with. Hand your favorite witchlet (even if that’s you) a deck made just for them. A magnet latch book-box treasure filled with 78 accident-proof cards of easy-to-read pure magic and entertainment.

This deck has been created especially for Young Witches everywhere. Anybody starting off on their esoteric journey will know that the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck is the standard to learn from, unless your art deck has an octopus as a Hierophant and you are cool with that!

Yes! This deck is faithful to the art and imagery of the RWS deck illustrator, Pamela Coleman Smith, (Pammy, as we call her,) but digitally revitalized and refreshed with a bright and vibrant palette by children's author/illustrator and tarot deck creator, Natalie Meraki.

It’s aimed directly at Young Witches everywhere, however old they (or you) may be! It’s a beautiful, fun family deck with no nudity. We did a cover- up job after extensively researching the market—except for the Sun Boy, because he’s a scamp and wouldn’t wear his vest!

Natalie has been working with her friend Bob Smithies to make this deck accessible to the youngest of minds. Although a lovely addition to anyone's collection, the purpose of this deck is for it to be used. We want to encourage our Young Witches to look at the cards as guidance and not as a strict set of rules to be followed. We wrote rhyme after rhyme to condense the meaning of each card into a short, memorable verse. The rhymes are printed on each card and compliment the artwork, rather than becoming a distraction. The Facebook page we created for research and development has been receiving fantastic feedback.

Of course there is the obligatory book; but this one is fun, written with gentle humor and an eye for children’s safety and growth. It’s a charming read on its own.

Everything about this deck and accessories is about fun, created by two friends who have no intention of growing up. What else might you expect? This is the deck you wish you had when you first started to learn your craft!

Arcana means secrets and what more can you do for your Young Witch than give them access to the secrets that you already enjoy so much!

The Young Witch bag is the perfect addition to your new Young Witch deck! It features:

• An 8”x10” bag to hold all of your Young Witch treasures.

• A 1” Young Witch pin

• A 2” Young Witch die cut sticker

• A set of clearing bells

• 2 quartz crystals for meditating

• The Young Witch 101 booklet by Rebecca Jade

The Young Witch 101 booklet by lifelong witch Rebecca Jade is a little book of Magic that’s the perfect starter guide for any aspiring Young Witch, regardless of age. Within these pages you will find valuable information regarding choosing your path, herbs, crystals, wands, and much more! Rebecca has done a fantastic job. You can read reviews of the book below.

The bags are available as an add on to the deck and is very limited edition.

Learning to be a ‘Young Witch’ has never been so fun.”

This book is quick, clever, and easy to understand. I love the way it is set up. Easy to use, and great for all ages. This brings the fun and then some. Highly recommend for all ages and reading levels. Great way to bring the tarot to life.”

Young Witch Tarot Deck guidebook book is one I will definitely not forget! When I was a Young Witch just starting out, this would have been exactly the deck I would have wanted. It’s filled with the right amount of knowledge to get you started, yet want to continue to further your craft and learn more. The rhymes, and poems are adorable, and insightful. There is nothing I would change about it, I think it is hands down a wonderful concept, and both Natalie and Bob did a wonderful job bringing this to life ! I am so excited to have this deck and I can’t wait to have a Young Witch of my own to pass this on to.”

“Both myself and my 9 year old daughter have read the YW tarot book and we both loved it! My daughter read it in one sitting and loved it. She found it easy to read and easy to follow . more importantly, she's retained info from just one read. Absolutely THE best book on tarot out there for kids. BRAVO! Can't recommend this enough.”

“I love it!! I am not well versed in Tarot and I learned a lot. I really appreciate the insights and Witches of all ages will love it! We can’t wait to carry it in our shop. We know our clients will love it!”

Young Witch 101 reviews for Rebecca Jade

“We all have that special older relative that took us under her wing and imparted her wisdom in a gentle and caring way, giving us the wings and to the courage to fly and discover new ideas – come what may. I had one but I didn’t know that my favourite aunt was Rebecca Jade!

I loved the warm and caring tone; the no-nonsense, clear, simple but not simplistic content that left plenty of room for questions to be explored when the spirit nudges. And even the more “experienced” audiences will gain from Rebecca’s concise description of the meditation process; how the chakras affect our state of mind and hence our emotions. Did you ever consider using a letter opener (message symbolism evoked) as a wand? Or where to get church incense (always wanted to recreate that at home)?

Thank you for these tips (if I may call you that) Auntie Rebecca! And for this gate and portal to a new “Path”. May all Young Witches find joy and courage to discover themselves and the wonders of our Universe. Agape!”

“A most interesting and informative guide. even to someone who is not Young and not a Witch, I still found myself captivated and wanting to explore Witching.

With a little background and explanation on everything from how to tune in to myself and the tools I would be working with, I feel ready to go out and gather crystals, plants and candles for my very own altar!

The chapter about Wands was the one that caught me the most. My mind is pre occupied with what I might use and how it will be powered to be personalized just for ME!”

“This is a charming little book, it's a light read that carries you along with it. So much covered that needs to be further uncovered later. One moment you are trying to hold your breath to meditate and in the next you are wondering if you do in fact have any red undies in your drawer to unblock that root chakra, and why isn't the salt in the kitchen sea salt? This is a little treasure of a book that allows young witches to help find their path. All praise to the author Rebecca for putting her craft across in the most caring of ways.”

This makes the readings more relatable and resonant for those who identify as witches or follow pagan traditions.

1. Emily - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Probe the Witch Tarot deck. Firstly, the artwork was not what I expected based on the pictures online. The colors were dull and the illustrations lacked depth and detail. Secondly, the card meanings were confusing and inconsistent, making it difficult for me to connect with the messages and symbolism of the deck. Overall, I would not recommend this tarot deck to anyone looking for a visually stunning and intuitive deck.
2. John - 2 stars
As an avid tarot card reader, I was excited to try out the Probe the Witch Tarot. However, I was left unimpressed. The cardstock quality was flimsy and easily damaged, which is a shame considering the price. Moreover, the tarot deck lacked originality in its interpretations. Many of the card meanings were the same as traditional tarot decks, with no unique perspective or fresh insights. I would recommend exploring other tarot options before settling for this one.
3. Samantha - 2 stars
The Probe the Witch Tarot fell short of my expectations. The illustrations, although seemingly promising, lacked the magical and enchanting feel I was hoping for. The characters depicted in the cards felt flat and uninspired. Additionally, the deck itself was quite large, making it difficult to shuffle and handle. While the accompanying guidebook tried to compensate for these shortcomings, its interpretations were often superficial and failed to offer deeper insights. Overall, I found this tarot deck to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to fellow tarot enthusiasts.
