## What is Ostara Tarot?

Ostara Tarot is as fresh and wild as the verdant springtime.  The creation of four artists from the Pacific Northwest, the deck is a unique and surreal interpretation of the traditional Rider-Waite cards.  In Ostara Tarot, the familiar scenes take fanciful forms, and the usual suspects are played by a wondrous array of divinities, people, animals, and mythical beings.  Some cards show us unearthly visions of nature, others portray realms of purest whimsy.  Each artist drew one suit and some of the Major Arcana.  Each creator has endowed her suit with a distinctive yet complementary art style, giving us a playful, cohesive, and innovative masterpiece.

### 5/5 — Always spot on

*2024-08-13, version 2.1.6*

Beautiful artwork, informative descriptions & always spot on.

### 4/5 — Love it with one small quibble…

*2024-06-12*

I love the Ostara deck, and the Fool’s Dog team’s app is a worthy framework for reading it.

Small quibble: in the card description, the word “REVERSED” in bold caps grabs the eye, to the point where I find myself reading the reversed meaning before anything else. It’s awfully in-your-face compared to how this is handled in the sampler.

### 1/5 — OSTARA TAROT

*2023-01-19*

THIS APP IS USELESS. DO NOT BUY THIS. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!

### 4/5 — Why the card back change?

*2022-06-09*

My favorite deck of all time digitally? Yes! Dropped one star because they changed the card back. The new one feels like a generic tarot back, while the OG fit much better.

### 5/5 — Dreamy

*2021-07-19*

Dreamy and beautiful! Interesting tarot interpretations 💗

### 5/5 — Meant to be.

*2020-12-29*

I was meant to have this deck. I am new to taro and was a little hesitant with it. I love how it has a thorough description of what it might be saying to you. I was also hesitant on doing taro on a digital platform and not being able to make that connection like you do with physical cards, but I was wrong. And she proved me wrong by not only showing me her personality, and also giving me hard proof by finding her in physical card form first among all the other decks when I went to a book store..... plus look at her! Ooowwww she pretty. Only thing I would like to see is a night mode so you can read it better.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-04-26*

Very interesting. Informative. I love that it has a journal.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2017-04-24*

It's nice to have a deck and book on your phone to take with you everywhere! Descriptions are easy to understand and the app is easy to use! Fun spreads too. ☺

### 5/5 — Excellent.

*2017-04-14, version 2.0.6*

Nice cards.

### 5/5 — Beautiful deck!

*2017-03-14, version 2.0.6*

I only wish I'd known about this physical deck while it was still available in its limited run!
I love Fool's Dog apps a lot, I use them several times a day, and this might be one of my faves, as someone still learning and absorbing the nuances.
Why?
Reversals. 
It's nice that the app always allows reversals, HOWEVER, usually the Little White Book guides attached do not list reversals' meanings. (at least it's the case with the other Fool's Dog apps I have. Zombie, Steampunk, Housewives, etc)
So thanks Ostara for including reversed card entries in your digital LWB!
