## What is So Below?

The Book of Shadows: So Below expresses the archetypal meanings of the Tarot with scenes taken directly from our busy modern lives. These archetypes aren’t on the grandiose scale of most Tarots. Instead, So Below is accessible, modern, and perfect for readings for self and family. Soft but never fluffy, So Below’s imagery speaks in modern slang and phrases its drama in everyday terms.

The characters in So Below reflect our modern multiethnic societies. The royalty cards show the same person at different stages of life. The Chalice and Pentacle royalty feature men, while Wands and Swords royalty show women, an example of the fluid gender roles found throughout the deck.

Because the images are easy to connect with emotionally, So Below is an excellent deck for newcomers to Tarot. The unassuming style of art fits the subject matter perfectly.  Vivid colors are carefully keyed to their occult resonances, and the dynamic scenes make So Below a visually exciting deck.

So Below illustrates the magic of our everyday lives, and gives guidance on how to live a magical life, while dwelling in the city, or driving the children around the suburbs.

### 5/5 — Adore this!

*2025-11-03*

I have had 4 different tarot apps over the years. I got this one about 10 years ago and it is consistently the one I come to. It is also consistently accurate. 

I deleted my other tarot apps.

### 1/5 — Poor app quality

*2022-12-03, version 2.1.5*

There are no major descriptions of cards. They are basic and I find the app useless to help decipher the card meaning.

### 5/5 — Warm and Relatable

*2020-09-25*

The artwork is really relatable and appropriate to the card. It is great for readings pertaining to daily activities and life. I like having the explanations of each card a tap away and a whole list of spreads with detailed descriptions. 
This is my second digital deck and they continue to surprise me with how there is no difference connecting with these vs physical decks.

### 5/5 — Yes

*2020-05-24, version 2.1.5*

Very cool indeed

### 5/5 — Best practical deck!

*2019-08-10*

Wow, this is the best deck after the Thoth Tarot. I usually don't get decks that are modern and not abstract, but something about this deck makes it so much more practical, like the difference between using a Lenormand vs a Tarot deck. I pull the card of the day every day, and BAM there is an exact description. Readings are so simple to understand on any topic, from the practical to the abstract. Definitely the deck to use for practicall every day answers.

### 5/5 — Very Pleased!

*2019-07-04*

So loving this app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2017-03-05, version 2.0.2*

A great way to take Tarot with you. I use the physical deck and this app is a great compliment. The journal in this app is outstanding!

### 4/5 — Fab x

*2017-02-09, version 2.0.2*

A very clear and precise pack of cards.

### 5/5 — Short and simple but intuitive

*2016-09-26*

Great illustrations. The meanings are simple and straight to the point. Love that you can add or draw more cards from the deck for clarification purposes.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I want in a Tarot app

*2016-09-01*

Beautiful and Insightful cards, very easy to read at any level of Tarot study, and exactly the right amount of customization without over complicated things.
