The Valley of the Lambs Tarot replaces every human figure from the classic Rider-Waite-Smith system with a white lamb. The symbolism stays intact: postures, attributes and colour coding all follow the RWS tradition closely. Artist SENGIA printed the cards on 400 gsm art paper with a linen finish and matte gold edges.
Two bonus cards, 'The Dream' and 'The Lamb', fall outside the standard RWS structure.

Dozens of decks use the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition as their foundation. The Valley of the Lambs Tarot takes a distinct direction within that tradition: every human figure has been replaced by a white lamb. Artist SENGIA made this choice deliberately, designing the deck as a tool for introspection that feels gentle rather than confronting.
The deck is published by Vermilion Collection and contains 80 cards: the standard 78 tarot cards plus two bonus cards, 'The Dream' and 'The Lamb', which fall outside the classic RWS structure.
The lambs take on exactly the postures and attributes of the traditional figures. Anyone familiar with RWS tarot will recognise each card immediately. The English card names appear at the bottom of every card in a fine, elegant typeface.
The colour palette is soft and pastel. Each suit carries its own subtle colour variation, which helps with intuitively sensing the elements: fire, water, air and earth. The style remains consistent from the Major Arcana through to the pip cards.
SENGIA is consistently praised in reviews for production quality. The cards are printed on 400 gsm art paper, which is heavier than most tarot cards on the market. The linen finish keeps the cards from sticking together during shuffling and gives them a finely textured feel.
The edges are finished with matte gold foil. That gives the deck a considered look without being shiny. The cards measure 70 x 120 mm, the standard tarot format. The Standard Edition comes in a sturdy two-part Top-Bottom box.
The combination of 400 gsm paper and linen finish makes this deck more durable than many others in this category. Regular use and frequent shuffling show the difference.
The deck includes a compact English-language guidebook. It covers the meanings of the cards and describes the journey of the lambs through the tarot. Both the guidebook and the card names are in English.
SENGIA is the artist behind this deck. Reviewers consistently describe the work as detailed and carefully executed, with an artistic consistency that runs through every card. The available source material does not contain further biographical details about SENGIA.
Does this deck follow classic RWS card meanings or does it diverge?
The symbolism follows the Rider-Waite-Smith system closely. Postures and attributes are carried over from the traditional figures, with lambs taking the place of the human characters. Anyone who knows RWS can read these cards straight away. The two bonus cards, 'The Dream' and 'The Lamb', fall outside the standard structure.
What language are the cards and guidebook in?
Both the card names and the guidebook are in English. No translated version of the guidebook is included in this deck.
