Review: Macabre Beauty Meets Tarot Functionality - There is simply no denying that is deck is, at once, uniquely original and darkly beautiful. The artist, Claire Goodchild, combined artwork from Victorian medical texts and botanical journals to bring her vision to life and I, for one, am so glad that she did. This set comes in a sturdy box and with a comprehensive, color guidebook that includes information, a little tarot history, and spreads as well descriptions for each card. One of my favorite things about the decks are the minute attention to little details: the Pages are all skulls of young children; the Elixirs (Cups) court cards have numbered elixir bottles that actually correspond to the card's number; same with the Ace of Elixirs; and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the skulls for the Kings & Queens were - in the original texts - identified as male & female, respectively. Such little details are appreciated, and I'm sure there will be more to find as I use the deck. An issue that everyone raises is the card stock. Yes, it's thin. Yes, it has a "flimsy" feel to it. While I do wish it was on a thicker stock I still am not going to complain about this. It seems as if it will hold up, and it has so far in the couple weeks I've been using it. For me, the deck and its artwork make up for it. I just don't see this as a deal breaker and it, if it is for you, all really depends on how flexible you are with your decks' card stock. Personally, this is workable - as long as it continues to hold up - because the cards are too lovely not to use otherwise. All-in-all, I highly recommend this deck. Especially if you have a predilection for darker, unique, or macabre things - it is delightfully all of those while still remaining very elegant and beautiful. If card stock is a deal breaker you might have an issue but, otherwise, I can't see anyone not falling in love with this deck.
Review: The old cardstock problem has been fixed! - This is a beautiful deck in a beautiful box with a beautiful book. The illustrations are bright and dynamic, and the guidebook has some of the most insightful general tarot tips and references I've seen; colors, numbers, and relationships between the Major Arcana come into play within the deck itself, so these are outlined in vivid detail and description in order to teach you how to handle all future readings. The individual cards are two per page, with easy-to-digest descriptions for each. It also includes additional card information for the Major Arcana, such as their ruling planet and element. The cardstock issue that was present in the first print has been fixed. This is NOT a thick cardstock, but it's not meant to be a heavy-handed deck! It's about the thickness of a regular playing cards, but the paper quality is better and more matte. It shuffles well once handled a bit to remove the factory newness, just be gentle! Quiet hands, quiet minds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique and magical deck
*by A***N on October 14, 2024*

I stumbled upon this deck by accident. I was in Barnes and Noble store on my birthday and noticed a Tea Leaf Reading deck by Harney and Sons tea company and Claire Goodchild. I also noticed this tarot deck sitting right next to the Tea Leaf reading oracle deck. I became very curious and decided to order it. My, oh my, this is a very unique deck. First of all, the box is absolutely gorgeous with leaves and flowers everywhere. The cards are really good quality and shuffle very well. The art is absolutely stunning. I did not realize how attracted I would feel towards human anatomy and bones presented in a very antique looking style. You have to be very familiar with tarot card meanings because this a pip deck, but my favorite suit is the cups suit, because the potion bottles have titles on them that correspond to the energy of the cup cards. So cool and helpful! I wish there was more of that in other suits, too. I also ordered the Memento Mori oracle deck by Claire Goodchild which is available on Claire's Black and The Moon website. I can't wait to receive it. This is perfect for Halloween season readings. :)
