The Everyday Witch Tarot Review
I want to share with you a quick look at another quirky Tarot deck: the Everyday Witch. I am not usually in to whimsical Tarot decks – I like a good laugh as much as the next person, but I take my Tarot straight up (maybe some ice on these long hot summer days). Having said that, there are always exeptions that confirm the rules…
This, in my humble opinion, is one of them – you might be attracted to this deck for it’s lovely art, whether it’s witches or cats you are in to, but this is also a very workable Tarot deck with plenty of good advice to give!
It comes in the (now standard) Llewellyn box set with magnetic clasp and an extensive guidebook, written in the unmistakable style of Deborah Blake, creator of this deck alongside artist Elisabeth Alba. The cardstock is thin and flexible, which makes for easy shuffling but would not withstand heavy-handed treatment.
The artwork boasts witches and their familiars on every card, in lovely muted colours. Pay attention to the cats as they really are very expressive and add something of value to every image!
The card-backs are not reversible and feature a black cat, broom and hat against a starry backdrop.

Here is a small selection of cards from the deck so you can get a taste of how it is styled and whether or not this deck might be for you: Where this deck may look whimsical and just a bit of lighthearted fun, after working with it I can tell you that it has some real wisdom to share. I would recommend this deck to Beginners and Afficionado’s alike.
It gives you very clear messages, in a humoristic style that does NOT however detract from the serious issues you might be faced with in your day-to-day existence.
If you have been sitting on the fence, unsure if you should invest in this particular deck, I’d say go for it! It won’t disappoint.
I would like to share my most favourite card with you, as well as the one card that enamours me least: I adore the cat’s reflection in the pool on this beautiful Moon card, but what the Devil is going on in number 15.
This Devil just creeps me out, putting in mind the Child Catcher from Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, trying to tempt these poor youngsters in to his trap where they will be subjected to unspeakable things… where this card may capture the essence of The Devil, I prefer mine without hints of pedophelia please.
In conclusion: this deck has been a pleasant surprise and I am sure it won’t join the decks-on-the-shelf that are sadly not being used – I intend to shuffle it often and listen to what it has to say… spread the word.
Please also look at my previous review of the Sasuraibito Tarot, as that is another gem!

Reviews for "Unlocking Creativity with the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Cauldron"
1. Sarah - 1 star - This Little Tikes Magic Workshop Cauldron is the most disappointing toy I have ever bought for my kids. The advertised "magic" is nothing more than a couple of lights and sound effects that quickly lose their novelty. The assembly of the cauldron was also a nightmare, with parts not fitting together properly and the whole thing feeling flimsy. My kids quickly lost interest in playing with it, and it now sits neglected in the corner of their playroom.
2. Matt - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Cauldron, but it failed to live up to my expectations. The magic tricks it comes with are incredibly basic and don't provide much entertainment value. Additionally, the cauldron itself feels cheaply made and I question its durability. The fact that it requires assembly was also a hassle, especially since the instructions were not clear. Overall, I would not recommend this toy as there are better options out there for the same price.
3. Melissa - 2 stars - My children were excited to receive the Little Tikes Magic Workshop Cauldron, but it quickly became a disappointment. The magic tricks were not impressive and the overall play value was lacking. The cauldron itself felt flimsy and easily fell apart during play. The lights and sound effects were underwhelming and didn't add much to the overall experience. I would not recommend this toy as there are much better options available in the market.
