The deck is truly STUNNING and has quicky become a favorite of mine. All suits has themes, Egyptian mythology, the story of the One Thousand and One Nights, the world of witches and the fantastic world of mermaids and other mythical creatures of the sea. And the colors! So stunning!

WTNV Hayworth Tarot

The Hayworth tarot is based on the fictional podcast “Welcome to Night Vale”.
One of my all time favorite decks. The imagery, the colors and the morbidity really hits something with me.
Note: You do not have be a fan of or even familiar with the Night Vale podcast to use this deck. If the morbid imagery speaks to you it is all you need.
The Mystical Dream Tarot
The deck creator, Janet Piedilato, is a transpersonal psychologist, healthcare consultant, and ordained minister, with doctorate degrees in Biology and Psychology. She has studied dreams for decades.
While this is a tarot deck, Janet made a system of her own with new names for cards and a symbolism that are very different from other decks. All illustrations are from Janet’s many lucid dream travels. The guidebook is written in a very esoteric and mystical language and I love it.
Autonomic Tarot

The 30 card majors only tarot deck, and instruction booklet was born from Keenan’s experimental novella To Run Wild In It published by Rough Trade Books. All artwork on the cards are original handmade linocuts. The deck includes a few new cards such as ART and THE AEON.
Very poetic and weird guidebook (pamphlet) included.
The Gold Lyre Tarot

“It took us two years to create this and I couldn’t be more proud and excited. I hope that it brings so much simplicity, intuition and joy to you, too!” - Lacy Martin
Super light, modern, divine and feminin deck in collage style. Cards shuffles and fan out extremely well.
Blue Birds Tarot
Created by Tadahiko Kawaguchi in 2012.
This is not a deck you see every day. Well unless you are in Japan. The majors only tarot deck is an amazingly beautiful deck. It leans on the tradition but has its own vibe and the colors are incredible.
Easy to work with and stunning.

TaroSado
Created by Pakito Bolino in 2020.
A majors only deck inspired by S/M and bondage. HUGE card stock. Handprinted artwork. The colors really pop (this pictures does not do them justice). Nearly impossible to shuffle due to size but who cares when you see the colorful and bizar imagery, both disturbing and fascinating.

Created by Mary Elizabeth Evans who has created quite a few divination decks. Her style is hand-drawn, childish and cute. It is ugly and beautiful, simple and deep, all at the same time.

Divination cards created by one of my favorite occult artists, Daniel Martin Diaz. Daniel is a multi creative artist and musician.
These cards of divination comes with the Enigma game, which is basically an occult bingo game in the tradition of the Mexican game, Loteria. The cards can be used for divination on their own as well.
With old school mystical symbolism and a few well-chosen colors, these cards really pleases my sense of occult aesthetics.

This deck is like nothing I have ever seen before. It scares and attracts me at the same time.
