Dark-Grimoire-Tarot-Michele-Penco-Box.jpg
Dark Grimoire Tarot

Dark Grimoire Tarot

This deck draws on the cosmic horror fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos. Michele Penco illustrated all 78 cards in a palette of pale greys and sickly greens, with imagery that evokes forgotten libraries and forbidden texts. The deck is built around shadow work: deliberately facing what normally stays beneath the surface.

  • Language: Multilingual (including English)
  • Quality: Matte finish, sturdy cardstock, 66 x 120 mm
  • Contents: 78 cards with multilingual guidebook

Lo Scarabeo has also released this deck under the name Tarot Necronomicon.

Tarot of the Magical Forest

Tarot of the Magical Forest

Every human figure in this tarot has been replaced by an animal. Cups feature rabbits, Pentacles foxes, Wands frogs and Swords cats. The structure follows the Rider-Waite-Smith system closely, but the tone is lighter and warmer. Leo Tang’s illustrations have a gentle, storybook quality without losing the symbolic depth of the original.

  • Language: Multilingual
  • Quality: Matte finish, compact size (66 x 120 mm)
  • Contents: 78 cards with instructions

Each animal was chosen deliberately: foxes for the cleverness of Pentacles, cats for the emotional distance of Swords.

Golden-Tarot-of-klimt.jpg
Golden Tarot of Klimt

Golden Tarot of Klimt

A. A. Atanassov applied the visual language of Gustav Klimt to all 78 arcana: gold foil on every card, mosaic-like patterns and sensual figures with soft contours. This is not a collection of reproductions of existing Klimt paintings, but a new work built in the spirit of the Vienna Secession. The imagery is decorative and calls for interpretation rather than instant recognition.

  • Language: multilingual guidebook (including English and German)
  • Quality: glossy card stock with gold foil on every card
  • Contents: 78 cards

The gold foil reads very differently by candlelight than under bright overhead lighting, which is worth knowing before your first reading.

Shadowscapes Tarot Set

Shadowscapes Tarot – complete set with full-length guidebook

Stephanie Pui-Mun Law painted this deck in layered watercolour: mermaids, swans, foxes, tree spirits and sea serpents fill each card with a fantasy density rarely seen in tarot illustration. Barbara Moore wrote the accompanying 264-page guidebook, covering not just the tarot meaning of each card but also the story Law painted into the image. Reviewers and forum readers consistently recommend this edition over the compact version, precisely because the watercolour symbolism runs deep enough that the book genuinely helps you read it.

  • Language: English
  • Quality: Luxury keepsake box, watercolour illustrations
  • Contents: 78 cards + 264-page guidebook

The spreads in this guidebook were designed specifically for Shadowscapes, not taken from a standard tarot reference.

Why it is the standard

First published in 1909, the RWS deck illustrated every card, including the Minor Arcana. That made the meanings visible rather than something to memorise. It is still the base that most tarot books and courses use.

Classic or a fresh take

Prefer the original look? We stock faithful editions. Want the same clear system in a modern style? Browse the wider tarot cards range for RWS based decks with contemporary art.

Before you buy a Rider Waite deck

  • Is Rider Waite good for beginners? Yes. It is the most recommended first deck, because the pictures show the meanings.
  • What does RWS stand for? Rider Waite Smith, after the publisher Rider, author Arthur Edward Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith.
  • Are modern RWS decks easier? They use the same clear system, so a modern RWS based deck reads just as easily.
  • How fast will my deck arrive? On orders over 75 euro you pay no shipping. We send from our own stock in the Netherlands, so your deck is on its way fast.
