"Tarot of the Guiding Muse and its storybook weaves meanings and interpretation of the tarot into an emotionally resonant narrative arc. The deck is first and foremost a love song, from the artist dedicated his wife. It is magical realism with thoughtful parables, subtle recurring motifs and symbols, beautifully written prose, that all comes together to present us with an enchanting, memorable epic." - Benebell Wen

from 10 reviewsTed's deck keeps me wholly entertained and inspired throughout the year. It's always there to comfort me when I have a burning question about my career or relationships, but also a go-to when i'm just hanging out with friends and we're seeking some casual wonder and mystery. It is easy to tell that the artist has put his whole heart into the creation of these cards. My favorite part of having this deck is revealing a new card illustration that I've never seen before and having the pleasure of applying it to my life's biggest questions. I can't wait to see more projects in the future!
The journey through the Tarot provides an opportunity for reflection, introspection and connection. The Tarot of the Guiding Muse is the embodiment of this, and more. I was drawn to the idea of following one “protagonist” through the Fool’s Journey. As Emi moves through scenes of daily, modern life, it feels like there is also a second life - within the liminal- that Emi embodies. Emi is the companion I did not know I was seeking, as I also navigate this human experience. The landscapes depicted feel lush. I can almost feel the ocean spray jump off the cards in those that feature water. The artist and creator has captured Northern California in all its beauty and majesty. The guidebook features affirmations and almost feels like Emi’s inner monologue. Which only adds to the experience of using the deck. You feel like you are peeking into Emi’s private conversations with herself. I look forward to walking with Emi on her journey while finding myself in the tarot.
This deck speaks to my soul, my little girl heart, to the world I wish to live in!
Thank you for creating it and sharing it with the rest of us!
So happy with this deck. Soft and dreamy. Sometimes you need a gentle tarot and this one fits the bill. Delighted to have added it to my collection.
Ted’s deck is stunning—every card is filled with enchanting art that makes readings feel like stepping into a dream. Emi and her cats’ journey show a great balance of playfulness and depth that makes every pull feel special.
These cards are so special . Emi is a heroine that is strong and beautiful. I know she would be the perfect character in an animated movie
I absolutely love this deck. The art is beautiful. The guide book is thoughtful and intuitive. I pull a card every day. Thank you Ted Hsu for sharing your art with us.
This is by far the best illustrated, best packaged and most put together tarot deck I've ever come across. I love the style and recommend it highly for all!
The deck is so much more than I expected. The pictures online were lovely, but the real cards are just more. Simple but at the same time, full of feeling and meaning. The cards feel good in my hands, a little larger than the average. They're sturdy, thick, but not so thick they feel like plastic. The box is perfect, very sturdy and will look nice with my collection. And I always appreciate a lifting ribbon. The only negative, and not really, is the 'new card smell.' In the few minutes it took to go through and get a first look at the cards, it was nearly gone. I'm sure a good shuffle and a bit of time will clear it away. I hope you make more decks, clearly you have a talent for it. Thank you so much.
Love them , beautiful cards
