Deck Name:
The Botan Tarot
Creator/Publisher:
Addi Miyako
Vibe in a Sentence:
All calm tones and clean lines - until it quietly exposes your entire coping strategy.
Artwork Style:
Sharp lines and soft tones meet perfectly balanced white space - like visual silence with an opinion.
Key Themes:
Honest reflection, soft discomfort, and the quiet work of coming back to yourself.
Availability:
Available direct from the source, but with that “don’t wait too long” energy. This deck doesn’t chase.
First Impressions:
The vibe is gentle restraint. The experience? A calm stare that sees more than you said out loud.
Best For:
If you like your tarot sessions organized, honest, and just a little emotionally distant - this one’s for you.
Not For:
Not for those who need loud artwork, louder affirmations and a deck that gasps at your drama. This one will blink slowly and wait for you to self-regulate.
Card Stock and Quality / How It Handles in Use:
Matte finish, matte blue edges, and a shuffle that’s quietly satisfying.
Guidebook/Voice:
Big book energy with barely-there content. It’s more layout than guidance, and it knows it.
How It Reads:
It reads with calm authority, zero emotional cushioning, and the quiet expectation that you’ll handle the truth like a grown-up.
Deck Personality:
A calm observer with no patience for self-deception. Think therapist energy, but without the nodding.
Keep or Rehome:
Keeping - but I tuck it away when I know better and do it anyway.
Pairing Ideas:
Compendium of Witches, Curious Oracle, Essential Oils healing deck, Tea Time Oracle.

Final Thoughts:
Cool tones, clear reads, no emotional drama - and somehow it still manages to get right to the point.
