Ghosts & Spirits Tarot – Messages from the other side in tarot form
The Ghosts & Spirits Tarot is an atmospheric and mystical journey that connects the seeker with 79 distinct spirits and entities. Created by the renowned artist Lisa Hunt, this deck acts as a bridge between our world and the whispers of the other side. Whether these spirits appear friendly or ominous, each one brings profound insights into human existence through the lens of traditional tarot symbolism. This deck offers more than just a visual experience; it provides a direct line to the stories, legends, and myths of the spirit world.
About this Deck
The illustrations in the Ghosts & Spirits Tarot are ethereal, hauntingly detailed, and deeply evocative, showcasing Lisa Hunt’s signature style. Each card is meticulously linked to a specific spirit or mythical figure from global folklore, resulting in a visual tapestry of stories that have shaped human culture for centuries. Drawing from extensive historical research and intuitive feeling, Hunt has created a deck that is not only visually intriguing but also emotionally and spiritually moving.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck explores the universal themes of life, death, and the transition between states of being. By grounding the tarot in the realm of ghosts and spirits, it allows users to explore the "unseen" influences in their lives.

From well-known legends to obscure spectral entities, the deck covers the full spectrum of the human (and post-human) experience, making it a powerful tool for those looking to explore the mysteries of the psyche and the beyond.
