This is How It Reads

How It Reads Tarot is a tarot deck review website focused on how tarot decks actually feel to read with in real-life readings. Instead of only showing card artwork, we explore tarot deck energy, reading style, symbolism, emotional tone, readability, and who each deck works best for. Discover honest tarot deck reviews, beginner-friendly insights, tarot spreads, and in-depth guides designed to help readers find decks that truly match their intuition and reading experience.

How We Experience Decks

Connection Over Aesthetics
A beautiful deck isn’t always easy to read with. We focus on how decks actually feel in practice.

Readings Flow
How naturally the cards speak during a reading — whether the deck feels clear, layered, direct, or reflective.

Emotional Atmosphere
Some decks feel comforting. Some feel sharp and confronting. We pay attention to the emotional tone each deck carries.

Quiet Details
The symbolism, pacing, texture, and little things that change the experience of a reading.
