The Occult Tarot Deck is a unique and intriguing set of cards that is deeply rooted in esoteric traditions and symbolism. Created by artist and author Travis McHenry, this deck offers a modern take on the traditional tarot, incorporating elements of the occult and mystical practices. The deck consists of 78 cards, each depicting a specific archetype, character, or concept. These cards are divided into two main categories: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana cards represent significant life events and major themes, while the Minor Arcana cards delve into the details of everyday life and experiences. The artwork on the Occult Tarot Deck is truly mesmerizing.
The Wizard of Oz and the Wicked Witch of the West both need to clear away their past programming for controlling the flow of energy. They use intimidation to create an aura of power, when in fact they are most isolated from universal energy.
According to William Bausch in The Yellow Brick Road A Storyteller s Approach to the Spiritual Journey, low self-esteem presents itself in 10 possible ways 1.

The artwork on the Occult Tarot Deck is truly mesmerizing. Each card is beautifully illustrated with intricate details and vibrant colors. McHenry has carefully designed each image to capture the essence of the archetype it represents, drawing inspiration from various occult traditions such as astrology, alchemy, and Kabbalah.
Like the Wicked Witch, water “melts” the coronavirus
We all know what did in The Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz”….. water. Dorothy douses the Wicked Witch with a bucket of water and the witch wails “I’m melting, melting, melting” until she’s indistinguishable from the puddle of water on the floor.
It’s a little more complicated, but the current Wicked Witch that has turned our lives upside down, the novel coronavirus, “melts” in water, too.
A retired nurse who has been a GreeneCountyNewsOnline reader from the get-go shares information from a professor of infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins University. It came to our reader friend via a Johns Hopkins newsletter.
The thing about the novel coronavirus is that it’s not a living organism. It’s a protein molecule covered by a protective layer of lipid (fat), which, when absorbed by the cells of the eye, nose or oral membrane, changes their genetic code. That change makes them aggressor and multiplier cells.
Since the virus isn’t alive, it can’t be killed. That’s why antibiotics don’t work. But, the virus decays on its own. The time it takes to decay on its own depends on the temperature, humidity and type of material where it lies.
Quoting from the newsletter: “The virus is very fragile; the only thing that protects it is a thin outer layer of fat. That is why any soap or detergent is the best remedy, because the foam cuts the fat. (That is why you have to rub so much, for 20 seconds or more, to make a lot of foam)
“By dissolving the fat layer, the protein molecule disperses and breaks down on its own.”
Remember what butter does when it gets hot? “Heat melts fat; this is why it is so good to use water above 25 degrees Celsius (that’s 77 degrees Fahrenheit) for watching hands, clothes and everything. In addition, hot water makes more foam and that makes it even more useful,” the newsletter states.
“The virus molecules remain very stable in external cold, or artificial as air conditioners in houses and cars. They also need moisture to stay stable, and especially darkness. Therefore, dehumidified, dry, warm and bright environments will degrade it faster.”
According to the newsletter, alcohol or any mixture of more than 65 percent alcohol dissolves any fat, especially the outside fat layer of the virus. Listerine mouthwash is 65 percent alcohol; it works to degrade the novel corona virus. A mixture of one part bleach to five parts water dissolves the protein, wrecking the molecule from the inside out.
Vinegar doesn’t do anything against the virus because it doesn’t break down the protective fat layer.
So, rub-a-dub-dub for 20 seconds with lots and lots of bubbles, and the Wicked Corona Witch will history sooner rather than later.
Here’s a story…see if you can figure out who has the low self-esteem?

1. John Smith - 1 star
I was really excited to get the Occult Tarot Deck, but I was extremely disappointed with the quality. The cards were flimsy and felt cheaply made. The images on the cards were also not very detailed or visually appealing. It honestly felt like they just rushed through the design process. Overall, I would not recommend this deck to any serious tarot enthusiasts.
2. Jane Doe - 2 stars
I have been collecting tarot decks for years, and the Occult Tarot Deck was a letdown for me. The artwork looked promising in the pictures, but in person, it was underwhelming. The colors were dull, and the cards lacked the vibrancy I was expecting. Additionally, the guidebook that came with the deck was poorly written and didn't offer much insight into the card meanings. I expected more from this deck, but unfortunately, it fell short.
3. David Johnson - 2 stars
I found the Occult Tarot Deck to be quite confusing. The symbolism on the cards was not clear, and the interpretations provided in the guidebook didn't make much sense to me. The deck seemed to rely heavily on occult references, which made it difficult for me to connect with the cards and understand their meanings. I prefer tarot decks that are more intuitive and accessible, so this one just didn't work for me.
