The holidays are being VERY good to us tarot deck collectors. The Disney Villains Tarot Deck and Guidebook is from the same company and author that published Jim Henson’s Labyrinth Tarot Deck and Guidebook. This publishing company has had hits and misses with their decks and this one is a hit. For some Tarot 101 check out this review which explains terms like “Major Arcana” and “Court cards.” This deck has gorgeous Disney-style artwork by … Continue reading Disney Villains Tarot Deck and Guidebook by Minerva Siegel and Ellie Goldwine →
The holidays are here and with them comes a whole lot of new Tarot decks suitable for giving…to myself, BWAH HA HA! I’ve been waiting on The Labyrinth Tarot for several months and now that it’s finally here, it’s…well, it’s OK. Some of the art is lovely, and the suggested layouts are clever, but the creators seem to have run out of ideas before they ran out of cards. For a little Tarot 101 that … Continue reading Labyrinth Tarot Deck and Guidebook by Minerva Seigel and Tomas Hijo →
Somedays I feel all witchy so I reach for a tarot deck. If I feel witchy and feminist, I grab Our Tarot. If I feel like burning it all down, I go to The Next World Tarot. If I want the classics, the Rider Waite Smith deck is always reliable. But if I’m having a no good, terrible, very bad day, then nothing will do but my beautiful, silly, profane and confusing deck from Arcane … Continue reading Arcane Bullshit Tarot →

If you need a brush up on the basics of tarot, check out this review of … Continue reading Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani →
Our Tarot: A Guidebook and Deck Featuring Notable Women in History is a gorgeous tarot deck accompanied by a thorough book. My first impression was that this deck is pretty but maybe not very user-friendly. However, the more I use it, the more I realize how well it is organized, how well the book complements the cards and makes readings easier, and how beautifully each card is constructed. As a bonus, the book contains full-page … Continue reading Our Tarot by Sarah Shipman →
A Jane Austen Tarot Deck by Jacqui Oakley features beautiful art and thoughtful associations between Austen themes and tarot themes. Alas, it claims to be a tarot deck despite only having 53 cards (as opposed to a standard tarot deck’s 78 cards). Had it stuck with being an oracle deck instead of also trying to be a deck for tarot “and gameplay”, I would have been much happier with it. Note: This deck is not … Continue reading A Jane Austen Tarot Deck by Jacqui Oakley →
