 Review of the Crow Tarot
Posted: Thu, 23 Apr 21:23:13
Category: Reviews, tarot
Created by MJ Cullinane, the Crow Tarot exemplifies the majesty and mysticism of ravens and crows in all 78 cards. The tarot card meanings, which pay homage to the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck, are easy to understand if you're familiar with RWS. If you're not, an 86-page guidebook included with the deck walks you through upright and reversed meanings of each illustrated card filled with crows, ravens, and other members of the animal kingdom.

 Review of Tarot del Toro
Posted: Mon, 16 Mar 21:45:53
Category: Other Games, Reviews, horror
Continuing with my reviews of tarot decks, I'm diving into Tarot del Toro. This tarot deck and guidebook draws from the world of award-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Designed and illustrated by Tomás Hijo, this deck features original artwork inspired by the themes, imagery, and characters of some of del Toro’s most popular films including Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Crimson Peak, and The Shape of Water. For many tarot card readers, the physical aspects of the cards and the deck box are important, so let me address that aspect before addressing the art and off-page elements of this unique horror-themed deck. The back of the cards has a design that does indicate which position it's in. The position of the skull indicates whether you've drawn the cards in the upright or reversed position. The cards are printed in a limited color palette on a matte card stock that feels velvety-soft to the touch. The box the cards arrive in can be considered a true keepsake box: a red satin ribbon helps lift the cards from the interior box, exterior words are printed in raised, embossed lettering, and the box has a thematically-appropriate interior print that's then covered with an additional piece of cover art. These details, along with the 87-page guidebook, present a deck worthy of del Toro's vision.
