The Mystic Dreamer Book and Tarot Deck Review - Seller VTWiccan



I bought this tarot deck and book for fun.  I was curious and I find that learning something new that has meaning to others gives insight into the way they think and act to some degree.  Plus the pictures were really cool on the card.

I got this set from TopHatter during the Meta weekly Sunday night auction.  The seller is VTWiccan.  The seller's name is Jennifer and she is very sweet.  She is always present during all her auctions where she has items listed so you can ask her questions about her items and even tarot.  She sent the set the following morning and I received it very quickly considering Canadian Post is not known for speed or efficiency.

"Item Description:  Imagine strolling through a dark wood, the silver moonlight bating your path in an etheral glow.  Now is the time to call upon your intuition and explore hidden realms of imagination and creativity.  What secret messages do your dreams hold?

Acclaimed tarot author Barbara Moore presents an essential introduction to card-reading, insightful interpretations of each card's significance, and introspective questions to guide your journey.


Perfect for both traditional and intuitive readings, the Mystic Dream Tarot invites you to enter a mystical world of personal exploration.  Contains deck and book."

The package included the exact same item she had listed.  It was in perfect condition, plastic wrapped and no bent edges.  She even included a purple altar cloth as a small gift.  I imagine it is something you would lay down on the table before you do a tarot reading.

The Mystic Dreamer set is very informative.  The book is great.  It explains the basics of tarot reading and what spreads to use and how they are read.  The rest of the book is explaining the meanings of the 78 tarot cards included in the set.  The cards are a nice size.  They have gorgeous pictures on them.  The cards are not flimsy and are perfect for handling and shuffling without bending.  They are somewhat glossy and have a pretty look to them.  As a beginner I am pleased that I purchased the set.  Jennifer had even said to me when I asked about this set during the auction that it was great for beginners who know nothing of tarot.  It will fully explain its use and how to read the cards.  She also said I could ask her any questions I may come across in the future.

Bottom Line:  Great product, Awesome seller and quick shipping.  I would definitely purchase from VTWiccan/Jennifer again and again.  She also sells bath products, books and items on her website and etsy.

Check out VTWiccan's Etsy store for handmade items and Website for other items.

What I'm waiting for in the Mail

I decided to do some shopping to help with my "Addiction" and get some things that I need and some other things I want.  I need to stop buying but I have so many ideas of things I want to make and only half of what I need to make them.  


I get headaches from people, well working and dealing with people in the pharmacy and have heard great things about this oil and decided to give it a try.  I got it from Top Hatter and the seller posts them alot for auction.  This stuff says it's also good for nausea, hangovers and anxiety.  It must be all the good essential oils in it.  I have turned to aromatherapy to help with most common ailments due to medications making me worse.
"Item Description:  1/3 oz. unique & popular roll-on bottle. 

Migraine and relaxation/sleep blends are: Lavender Oil (headache/Migraine), Clary Sage Oil (anxiety/panic), Chamomile Oil (sleep), Peppermint Oil (headache/Migraine) Peppermint is also very helpful for nausea. Carry oil is Sweet Almond Oil."


I also have been wanting to try Red Dragon Apothecary's SoapScription of goat's milk soaps but never have been able to bid during the Top Hatter auctions when they are posted.  I got lucky at the start of the year when they changed their weekly Sunday evening auction to an earlier time.  I finally won a 3 month SoapScription and with it you get 2 bars of the same scent for 3 months plus a gift in your birthday month.  I should be getting it anytime.


"Item Description: This listing is for our soap of the month club for a 3 month duration. You will get TWO 4-5oz bar per month for 3 months, plus if you tell us when your birthday is we will send you a special birthday gift!  Your bar will come hand wrapped in decorative paper with a label on the front.

We are still finalizing the scent list (and it may be subject to change if we find an awesome scent that we think would make a great addition) but there will be scents EXCLUSIVE to this collection that you cannot get anywhere else in our store! Scents will be relevant to the month sent out Your SOAPscription will start the month purchased UNLESS you ask for it to start at a later date. Each month your soap will be shipped out by the 7th.

Unlike other soaps out there this soap DOES NOT contain any coconut oil! Goat Milk soap is great for people with dry or sensitive skin, or conditions such as excema and psoriasis. Goat milk contains alpha hydroxy acids which help make skin smoother and younger looking. Goat milk is very moisturizing and won't dry out your skin. The milk contains natural emollients, vitamins and triglycerides that are beneficial to all skin types. A mild soap with creamy lather!" 


I decided to find out what ll the fuss was about with Deco tape.  So I bought this auction lot as well.

"Item Description: This lot is for 10 assorted rolls of deco tape. These tapes are awesome for scrapbooking, cardmaking, identifying personal items, wrapping gifts, decorating packages, etc. Each roll is approx 300 cm long and approx 1.5 cm wide. Tape rolls are randomly selected."


I have now got over 400 euro beads and you can only interchange them so many times.  I give them to my mom and friends as well.  I bought these bangles so I can design some bracelets and try and sell them on Top Hatter.  

"Item Description: These silver bangles are perfect for your euro bead creations.  Quantity:  4"





I bought this tarot deck and book for fun.


"Item Description:  Imagine strolling through a dark wood, the silver moonlight bathing your path in an ethereal glow. Now is the time to call upon your intuition and explore hidden realms of imagination and creativity. What secret messages do your dreams hold?

These two book I got for fun reading like the tarot deck and companion book.  I'm hoping that the Herbal Almanac has planting info in it.  I read online after I purchased the book that it doesn't have planting dates in it, which would be rather disappointing.
