“I so appreciate a deck that adds something original to the Tarot conversation, a deck that is fresh and imaginative while stillgrounded in scholarship. Boadicea’s Tarot is all this and beautifully done as well. Of course, the test for whether a deck becomesa true companion is in how it reads. Boadicea’s Tarot has been magical for me from the first card I pulled. I sincerely recommendit.” —Ellen Lorenzi-Prince, creator of the Dark Goddess Tarot and the Tarot of the Crone

“Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights is a voluptuously surrealistic collage deck that is delightful to contemplate. Paula Millet’s richdark colors and old-gold highlights draw the eye into mysterious dreamlike landscapes filled with details that tickle the divinatoryimagination. Caroline Kenner’s text explanations will be effective at tutoring the new Tarot user in the art of interpretation. Shesimultaneously supports the experienced user in forming new associations based on the artist’s prolific and unique imagery.” —Christine Payne-Towler, historian, esotericist, and co-creator of Tarot of the Holy Light with Michael Dowers

“Uranus in Taurus vibes radiate from this deck: a dynamic and telluric creation where digital technology was used to assemble familiar and obscure classical artworks into lushly ornamented collaged montages. These rococo and fantastical assemblages have a surreal presence. The non-traditional suits are a little bit steampunk with original yet recognizable divinatory interpretations and symbol descriptions in the accompanying full color guidebook. It’s a deck that will surprise and delight you, with the occasional jolt of earthy humor.”

“As I wandered through the landscape of Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights, I found myself startled, thoughtful, or laughing out loud in response to the imagery. The reframing of elemental suits to Combustion (Fire), Tentacles (Water), Aether (Air), and Fungi (Earth) serves as a secret entryway into familiar territory, a way to see the cards “slant.” The deck is visually dazzling — and funny! — and the book not only illuminates some of more unusual visual components, but also offers up wise counsel. A rich and fabulous collaboration by Paula Millet and Caroline Kenner.—Joanna Powell Colbert, creator of the Gaian Tarot and co-creator of the Herbcrafter's Tarot

The accompanying guidebook is both helpful and inspiring.” —Deborah Blake, author, Witch, and creator of The Everyday Witch Tarot

“Tarot’s language is imagery. Images resonate through all parts of consciousness, especially the non-verbal, and therefore speak to us on several levels.
      What first drew me to Boadicea's Tarot of Earthly Delights in its earliest days was its arresting imagery. Frequently wry, often a little startling, and stunningly beautiful in strange, wild ways, the “traditional” images are transformed, tweaked, and up ended to become dazzling and delightful.
      Paula Millet’s wonderfully witty viewpoint makes these cards so arresting, and Caroline Kenner’s spare, direct and thoughtful take in the accompanying book makes an excellent companion to what the cards say with their imagery.
      Boadicea's Tarot of Earthly Delights will take the user on a lively and revealing journey with laughter, and curious twists and turns of revelation abundant throughout.”
—Thalassa, producer of the San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium (SF BATS) and Divinatory Demi-Goddess

“Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights is dedicated to the English Warrior Queen Boadicea, who relentlessly fought the Roman army with courage and craftiness for her rightful kingdom. Every card in this deck carries her spirit and qualities.
      In our modern world, there is an overwhelming plethora of new decks. The ones that are substantive, important, and innovative are rare and precious gems. Add in the Wow factor that is the beauty of this deck, and this Boadicea still SLAYS the competition, just like the deck’s namesake.” — Diane Brandt Wilkes, Tarot Passages, Jane Austen Tarot, and Southeastern Tarot Conclave

“As a professional Tarot reader, I am in love with Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights. It’s one of the most phenomenal tarot decks I’ve ever encountered.

The accompanying full-color book is no slouch either: it has insightful interpretations along with thorough descriptions of the cards and the symbols on them. The deck and book have the energy of a trusted old friend who has accompanied you for many lifetimes.
      When I use the deck with my clients, alchemy occurs, and the client, the situation, and I are transformed. Boadicea’s Tarot is a beautiful work of art, and a key to the vault containing answers to the mysteries of all time. —Sheilaa L Hite, The Center for Practical Spirituality, Top 100 Psychics & Astrologers in America

“I can't decide which I love more about Boadicea's Tarot: the fine art used in the collage-based imagery, or the utterly delightful whimsy of the entire deck. The level of detail in each card is stunning, from the Hamsa Hand within the octopus to the Page of Combustion, who appears as if he's just learned the thrill of magical creation. Boadicea's Tarot of Earthly Delights feeds my love of beautiful art as well as my need for a deck that's highly readable.” —Nancy Hendrickson, author of Ancestral Tarot and Ancestral Grimoire

“Doing something new and interesting with Tarot is a tough needle to thread. Stick too close to the source and you wind up with just another clone of a classic, venture too far and you wind up with an oracle deck that barely resembles Tarot at all.

“Boadicea’s Tarot of Earthly Delights offers beauty, artistry, originality, and complexity in every card of this deck, designed and crafted by Paula Millet. The Major Arcana retains the traditional names and numbers of the cards, but the images themselves – creatively rendered and infused with intriguing theriomorphic and botanomorphic elements – compel the reader to summon new, insightful meanings and narratives for them. The Minor Arcana follows suit, with the traditional wands, swords, cups, and pentacles redubbed with names more in keeping with the story lines they represent. Each card is a unique work of art. The deck is accompanied by a “Reader’s Companion,” a 200-page volume skillfully written by Caroline Kenner in collaboration with the artist.” —Andras Corban-Arthen, Founder and spiritual director, The EarthSpirit Community, President, European Congress of Ethnic Religions
