In the spirit of the month of October and all things spooky, I begin with one of my all time favorite decks: The Zombie Tarot.
Like it's sister deck, the Housewives Tarot, this deck has a very 50's kitsch feel to it. Alongside iconic images like classic cars and fashion are an army of the undead stumbling through each scene.
Scenes in this deck are RWS based (though modernized) and easy enough for a beginner to read from. Many of the scenes are quite humorous like in the Eight of Wands where a woman on roller skates flees from her pursuer- a zombie also sporting skates. Most of this deck's cards carry a lighthearted tongue-in-cheek feel which helps to downplay the gore. Though I usually avoid things with gore in them, I had no issue working with this deck. In fact, I fell in love with it.
Readings with this deck have never been an issue to me. Scenes almost come to life and it's very easy to pick up on what the card's meaning is. As I said before it is RWS based, though the artist took lots of artistic liberties to make this a one of a kind deck.
Though this deck is perfect for the Halloween season, I find myself using it frequently at any time during the year.
Cardstock is nice and sturdy, though not too glossy. I very much so like the cardstock. When I first opened this deck I don't think there was anything I disliked about it. Including the box which is made to look like a box of shotgun shells. I can see the time and effort everyone involved put out into this deck and I appreciate it! If only every deck had this much love put into the making!
Pricing for the Zombie Tarot is reasonable, 14.97 on Amazon.
