Old Style Tarot Deck & Book Set: 79 Cards with 104-Page Illustrated Guidebook – Vintage Charm, Traditional Symbolism, Intuitive Readings, Beginner-Friendly Deck

I adore this deck. Old Style Tarot by Alexander Ray is hands-down my favorite tarot deck, and I am not pretending to be neutral about it. The art is bold, quirky, and full of personality—like medieval woodcuts met modern sarcasm and decided to tell your future. Every card feels intentional, expressive, and slightly cheeky, which somehow makes readings clearer and more honest. This deck doesn’t sugarcoat, but it also doesn’t scream at you. It just knows. Now let’s talk card stock, because WOW. This is amazing card stock—thick, sturdy, and satisfying in a way that makes shuffling feel elite. These cards feel like they could survive being tossed into a backpack, spilled coffee nearby, or an emotionally intense reading session. Built. To. Last. It reads beautifully, works for everything from daily pulls to full spreads, and somehow manages to be both funny and deeply insightful. My other decks are great, but this one is the one I reach for without thinking. Five stars. Would rebuy in a heartbeat. If this deck ever goes out of print, I will riot (politely, but firmly).

I own about 10 or 15 tarot decks, but these really grabbed my attention and I feel very connected to them. There is a familiarity about them that I can't really explain. The artwork is beautiful. The card stock is high quality (great for riffle shuffling); quite stiff with a slight give. The shape is very unique; slightly wider than the average tarot deck. The whole antique aesthetic of them is my favorite thing. I really enjoy using them.

Lovely cards. They do speak to you and reveal hidden meanings as you peer into the depths of the illustrations. Take the traditional meaning and add your own!

I just finished my first reading with this deck. Incredibly storytelling, beautiful and clear design, easy to handle, very good quality. I love it!

This deck is just so out of this world beautiful. He did the Old style lenormand and another and said with the Tarot deck he where he is a psychologist that he wanted to use pictures from books he has seen but make them his own. There are great medieval and biblical in my opinion but there is the blank card everyone thinks is the "querent" card and you use it as the person in reading. You can do it this way but.. in the book it's like the blank Odin rune in the furthark runes. It is blank but could be many reasons: it's too soon to say, or you aren't supposed to know just yet, the other cards said what you needed to know. But go to the blank card page and read it. Another plus to this great deck is that h Instead of just quick upright and reversal meanings, he also included advice from card, "the warning," after reversal meaning for advice to get out of reverse situation, and "quick answer." These help alot with beginners or just goes more in depth with card meaning. Notes pages in the back. Please give this a try you will not regret this. I am very picky with my tarot decks so if I say "yes" it means a lot.

Just a gorgeous tarot deck with amazing illustrations . The guidebook is the best one I came across so far. Another must have tarot deck. A good bargain for this masterpiece :-) It is a RWS themed tarot deck. I find this Old style tarot deck more pleasing and approachable than the original RWS deck. Both decks are great decks. Old style tarots just gives me more of an easy subtle artistic vibes. I just find it soothing reading this deck with nice quality card stock and cool card back patterns. I also like the extra blank card included for special meanings explained in the guidebook as well.. The sturdy storage box is fantastic :-) 5 stars here :-)

This is a beautiful deck! The artwork is really easy to work with if you’re someone who wants to intuitively read the cards.

I got this deck to pair with Old Style Lenormand... It does NOT disappoint!

Las cartas son hermosísimas, muy fáciles de entender, calidad buena y se puede barajear bien con ellas

This is my third tarot deck, and I fell in love with it the moment I opened it! The artwork is absolutely stunning, and the guidebook is incredibly beginner-friendly, making it easy to dive right in. The cards are a perfect size in my hands – not too large – and the quality is impressive, with a nice, durable feel that doesn’t come across as cheap. A beautiful and well-crafted addition to any collection!

Great cards

Dies ist eines meiner Lieblingsdecks, ich habe es bereits mehrfach gekauft und verschenkt. Die Bilder sind eine Neuinterpretation des Rider-Waite-Smith-Decks, also für Leute, die sich bereits ein bißchen mit Tarot befasst haben, einfach in die Sammlung aufzunehmen und zu verwenden. Die künstlerische Gestaltung ist einfach fantastisch, besonders wenn man auf alte oder alt anmutende Karten Wert legt. Dabei sind die Minor Arkana mit der gleichen Sorgfalt bebildert wie die Major. Ich habe vom gleichen Künstler auch das "Old Style Lenormand" und im Februar 2026 kommt das "Old Stlye Oracle" heraus.

Alexander Ray brings mixes the old slavic charm with European art, that makes the deck uniquely prominent with its Slavic Eastern European Culture.
