The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck and Guidebook (Official Keepsake Box Set)

My mother, who passed away when I was only 12 years old, had a deck of Tarot cards she had purchased and begun studying shortly before she died. I remember being mystified by her interest in reading the cards and it instilled this insatiable desire inside of me to eventually figure out how to read them as well. I acquired her deck and kept it all these years as I battled through hardship after hardship after hardship...I never used them and never researched how to use them even until I was in m my late 20’s. I dabbled a bit. Lacking confidence to give anyone a reading besides myself and although I have always felt closely connected with the spiritual realm, I never felt like I was doing it right and the documentation offered to explain the meanings of each card and the layout have been anything but helpful: it feels like you’re trying to read something written in an old world language and that doesn’t produce the best outcome. As I gained more and more spiritual insight and began using what I believe is my talisman and gate key to the unknown, the mystic eye-an antique game I found at a shop many years ago, my interest piqued and I found myself missing cards from my beautiful mother’s deck and hankering for a deck to call my own... This deck spoke to me the very second I laid eyes on it. It actually makes me feel electric when I hold it. It is beautiful...absolutely STUNNING. It is so dark and eerie-it has almost a sad air about it as well. Countering that dark, dusky sadness hand drawn by this beautiful soul, Kim Krans are pops of color on almost every card. Rainbow serpents, fire in the most vivid oranges and yellows I’ve ever seen engulfing the feet of the goat on the devil card. Up against the wall of black it is absolutely breathtaking and entrancing. At the very LEAST, these Tarot cards are the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I am so proud to own them and call them mine. Thank you, Kim, for your attention to detail and your perfectly balanced marriage of darkness and light in this deck. It makes me want to meet you and hug you to be perfectly honest! Beautiful deck aside I want to talk about the thing that makes these cards stand out more than any other deck on the planet for me, and that is the guidebook that comes with the cards. This little book is so easy to read and understand. It is beautiful and VERY STURDY! The last deck I bought I didn’t know what the hell it meant. I even googled “Reading Tarot For Dummies” and still didn’t get my questions truly answered. In Kim’s little guidebook she words the explanations so simply and so easily that you cannot help but understand how to begin and how to journey on without making it too complex or too stressful. I desire for this to be a calming, peaceful, enjoyable experience for myself and those around me that I read cards for and I feel like I am well on my way down the right path now as well...with a bad ass deck of cards tucked in my back pocket. Thank you Kim. You’re an inspiration. The forward you wrote gave me chills as my life is busy busy busy and anxiety ridden and chaotic and I find solace in creating. I just have no time to create with all the chaos I am trying to tame...I knew from page one that this was a divine choice. And I thank you for that. Buy this deck. Honestly it is priced too low in my opinion. I would have paid double for the beautiful attention to detail and the excellent instructions to begin your journey. You won’t be disappointed. It’s in the cards. 😍

This is an absolutely intriguing deck. Beautiful cards, but most importantly, it has an very interesting energy about it. I've been contemplating buying these for quite some time, and had been going back and forth about it [I spent a LOT of time watching YouTube reviews (mostly for trying to catch a glimpse for how the guide book was written), and researching]. One woman online said that "this is a deck that will call you out on your bs" (I didn't understand then what that meant). Later, I visited a shop to look around and ask questions. I met a lady who worked there that was fairly well versed in tarot, whom I was getting general advice from about bonding with cards, cleansing, etc. In conversation, she made the comment that she "interviews" her decks. I honestly had never heard of such a thing. But a little internet search brought me to a list of questions that I really wanted to ask my new deck: (1). Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic? 2). What are your strengths as a deck? 3). What are your limits as a deck? 4). What are you here to teach me? 5). How can I best learn and collaborate with you? 6). What is the potential outcome of our working relationship? After shuffling, I went over each question in my mind, and then with each question, I set aside a card. When I tell you this deck stands on BUSINESS?! The very first card that I pulled and turned over in answer to the first question was "the tower". I won't go through the rest of the reading....But please believe me when I say I was impressed, and shook all at the same time. I understand what that woman meant now; this (for me, as it seemed for her) is a deck for shadow work. It's energy loving, but no-nonsense. I am elated that this is the deck that I ended up with. I feel such a connection to it, and it has already provided some deep and wild insight. For the deck itself, the card quality is perfect. Not super thick, but not paper thin either. I'm a trash shuffler, but the size and smoothness of the cards means that it's still quite manageable (though, I don't have small dainty hands). The matte finish means no glare on the images, and the colors (when present) are striking and rich. I don't think there's a deck out there that suits my personality, interests, background, and needs better.

Love this deck, so beautiful and well made. The deck was delivered so quickly.

Ho acquistato questo mazzo di carte attratta dal prezzo particolarmente scontato. Immagino di aver fatto un vero affarone! La confezione è curata nei dettagli e si presenta molto bene: cellophane, copri cofanetto, cofanetto, libro, box e carte. Sono tarocchi particolari; ho colto subito il fascino delle immagini. Non immediatamente comprensibili, l' intuizione può portare fuori strada se non si è un po' esperti. Il libro allegato è grazioso, spiega quello che c' è da sapere, il resto è nelle mani della sensibilità di chi legge per avere una interpretazione veramente efficace. La grafica accattivante tra bianco-neri e colore rende originale il mazzo. Le carte sono opache e piuttosto sottili ed è molto facile mescolarle. Pensavo di tenerle nella mia collezione personale ma sarebbe un peccato non utilizzarle. Per la qualità delle carte ovviamente solo il tempo può dare il responso più giusto. A mio parere l'impressione è che non deluderanno.

So pleased I bought this deck, it is stunning, and whilst I know everyone has different decks that work best for them, this is definitely mine, intuitive and such a joy to work with. If you are very new to tarot it's worth noting that this is strictly speaking not a 'traditional deck' (which I actually like it even more for) and the beautiful, naturally inspired, evocative artwork, is 'pared down' imagery wise and so doesn't give the new reader as many visual clues as say, the Rider Waite deck. Again though, I have to say this only makes me love it more, its like reading cards through a dream and makes it even more possible to connect with that side of yourself. The 'guidebook' is beautifully put together too, with descriptions done in a very sympathetic way to the cards themselves, ie pared down, evocative and dreamlike. So, again, if you need/want a wider, more 'in depth' and comprehensive understanding of the cards, read around to increase your knowledge whilst this deck helps you tap into and hone your own intuition and interpretation. I am a collector of decks (moon garden, ancient egyptian, Japanese, herb, everyday, wooden and even kawaii!) but this deck is my go too and my favourite of them all.
