Book of Shadows Tarot Set - two complete decks in one box
Most tarot sets contain one deck of 78 cards. This set contains 156. The Book of Shadows Tarot consists of two separate decks that complement each other: 'As Above' and 'So Below'.
'As Above' shows the spiritual world. The cards depict deities, elements, rituals and natural forces. It tells the story of the cosmos and the cycles of the seasons.
'So Below' translates that energy to the earth. Here you see people in everyday situations: relationships, choices, work, emotions. It shows how divine forces manifest in daily life.
How the two decks relate to each other
You can use each deck separately. 'As Above' for spiritual questions, 'So Below' for practical matters. But the strength lies in the combination.
Barbara Moore, the creator, designed both decks so that together they give a complete perspective. Draw one card from each deck and you see both the principle and the application. One deck gives the theme, the other shows how that theme plays out in your reality.
The imagery is clear and vivid. Colors are saturated, symbols are easy to read. The 'As Above' deck has a more mystical atmosphere, with images of altars, moon and stars. The 'So Below' deck shows interiors, landscapes, people in recognizable settings.
What you find in the box
The set comes in a sturdy box with magnetic closure. Both decks are packaged separately. The cards are printed on solid cardstock with a glossy finish, which makes shuffling smooth.
The multilingual guidebook describes each card from both decks. The text is practical and gives starting points for interpretation. The booklet is in color and includes Dutch, English, Spanish and French.
Draw one card from 'As Above' each morning for a spiritual theme and one from 'So Below' to see how that theme might show itself that day.

Questions we often get
Do I have to use both decks at the same time?
No. You can use each deck on its own. 'As Above' works well for spiritual questions, 'So Below' for practical matters. The combination gives a complete picture, but it is not required.
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes. Especially the 'So Below' deck is accessible because the images show recognizable situations. The guidebook gives an explanation for each card. The double deck asks for a bit more practice, but the basic structure follows the classic tarot.
