The Green Witch Tarot
I have had this beautiful, gentle and nurturing deck for a while. Lately I’ve been drawn to work more closely with it. The Green Witch Tarot is one of the decks I recommend to people who embrace any form of nature-based practice who are looking to incorporate tarot. It is also one of my first suggestions for anyone seeking guidance that doesn’t want to be confronted with potentially triggering imagery. The older I get and the more I see and experience, the more important I find these types of decks. Decks that don’t dismiss difficult topics yet don’t feel the need to overwhelm you with dark and confronting imagery. Instead they present a way forward and/or another perspective. Since those are the reasons I work with tarot both personally and with others, I have recently relocated The Green Witch Tarot onto my desk to be used as one of my go to decks. I’m bringing back the calm into my life and I’m feeling directed to help others to do the same. Reconnecting with and embracing the Natural world is a big part of this so this deck aligns perfectly.

Reviews for "Indulge in the Gastronomic Delights of Tepoztlán's Pueblo Mágico"
1. Lily - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really looking forward to visiting Tepoztlan and exploring its magical charm, but I was highly disappointed with my experience. The town felt overcrowded with tourists, and the streets were dirty and filled with vendors pushing their products aggressively. The supposed magical atmosphere was nowhere to be found. The famous market was a chaos of noise and overpriced souvenirs. Overall, I found Tepoztlan to be a tourist trap and not the enchanted place I had hoped for.
2. Carlos - ★★☆☆☆
While Tepoztlan has some historical significance and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, I found it to be lacking in authentic Mexican culture. The town is overrun with touristy shops and restaurants, catering more to visitors than to locals. The streets were chaotic and congested, and I couldn't find a peaceful spot to truly soak in the atmosphere. I also found the prices to be inflated compared to other similar destinations in Mexico. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican experience, I would suggest exploring other lesser-known towns.
3. Jessica - ★★☆☆☆
Tepoztlan may have a reputation as a magical town, but I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed during my visit. The main street was filled with souvenir shops and street vendors, which made it difficult to really appreciate the charm of the town. The famous pyramid was also quite underwhelming and overcrowded with tourists. I was hoping to connect with the rich cultural heritage of the town, but it felt overshadowed by commercialization. Overall, I left Tepoztlan feeling disappointed and wishing I had chosen a different destination for my vacation.
4. Michael - ★☆☆☆☆
I regretted my decision to visit Tepoztlan after experiencing the overcrowded streets and lack of genuine charm. The town had turned into a tourist hotspot, losing its authenticity in the process. The local culture felt diluted by the constant influx of visitors, and the prices were inflated to take advantage of the tourist traffic. My expectations were not met, and I left Tepoztlan feeling like I had just wasted my time. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican experience, I would recommend exploring other less touristy destinations.
