I’m sure that at some moment in our lives, we all get to a point where ‘enough is enough’ and Lisa felt that she was at her lowest when she was reminded of ‘the ten of swords’– the tarot card signifying defeat and woe. It was at this point that Lisa began illustrating this very card, incorporating her modern ideas and flair for fashion within her work. For one, it is easy to understand based on the imagery alone. Take the Six of Swords for example. You can see just by looking at this card that one is (or will soon) be leaving a person, place, or situation behind.

Modern Witch Tarot Review by medusawink

Sterle uses a broad palette of solid colours that echo Pamela Coleman Smith's - bright blues and yellows, mustard and tan, candy pink, coral, and dove grey. Get a feeling for each card. Which cards do you like? And why? Which one is your favourite card? Which ones are your favourite cards? And why?" The colour scheme is also more pastel-aligned (in that the colours are still very bright and saturated in print but the colour palette itself has stayed away from the deepest versions of any colour) which very pleasant to the eye and matches the more art-style well. Lisa Sterle beautifully merges traditional Rider-Waite symbolism with modern imagery. Every classic symbol and idea is on each card, and we can read them intuitively. Furthermore, because of the diversity of people on the cards, we are able to connect with Tarot on a deeper level.

The advice given has a generally positive outlook but does not shy away from the less pleasant issues that can arise in readings. When interpreting a tarot card, it's important to consider both the individual meaning of the card and how it relates to the surrounding cards in the spread. Each card can have multiple interpretations depending on the question being asked and the context of the reading.These cards are not only gorgeous, but they also photograph beautifully with realistic figures set among lush and magical landscapes and settings.
