The Guardian of the Night Tarot: A 78-Card Deck and Guidebook

I originally discovered MJ Cullinane when I purchased her Crow Tarot deck. I was captivated by the artwork and style of those cards, and loved the quality of the cards, guidebook, and box. And I was thrilled to learn there was a companion book that went along with the Crow deck!So it was an easy choice to buy another MJ deck - the Guardian of the Night tarot. Since I'm fairly new to tarot, I mainly use Rider-Waite-Smith style cards for readings because that's what I studied with, but I've been branching out to more "themed" decks with interesting, unique artwork. This deck is also stunning! The artwork is beautiful - dark, mysterious, moody. (Side note: some reviewers wrote that they felt certain the images are AI-generated. But according to MJ on her own website, they are not. She's a digital artist who draws her own images.)For the most part, there's not a lot of recognizable connection to RWS imagery, but the featured animals tell their own story. The included guide book has detailed descriptions (not just keywords) that help explain the animal meaning/connection. And each card is so richly detailed with symbolism - you'll find that you notice something new each time you look at the cards. I recommend spending time getting to know this deck. Perhaps select a card or two each day and really look into them. I feel that this deck is definitely one for doing more intuitive readings, not just memorizing a standard meanings.The deck has a decent card stock and a pleasant matte finish. I'm not too rough when I overhand shuffle - I hope they'll hold up well. The cards themselves are bigger than standard tarot size - these measure 3.5" x 5", so they're a handful! But they feel good and I like having that size variety compared to other decks in my collection (including some mini decks). They come packaged in a sturdy box, nicely decorated. A good value for the price paid. I wish more tarot card companies would realize that most people would gladly pay a few dollars more for a quality set of cards in a lovely box with a detailed guidebook specific to that deck.I'll definitely keep an eye out for future decks by MJ Cullinane! In the meantime, I'll thoroughly enjoy using her crows and animals in my readings!

I Absolutely Love this deck and everything MJ Cullinane !!

One of my favorite decks!As a professional tarot reader, I love this deck for its slightly oversized cards which feel substantial in the hand and gorgeous whimsical artwork by MJ. Every time I pull this deck out I get ooohs and ahhhhs!A treasure!💗

Tuvimos algunos problemas con el envío, pero, la segunda vez se envío sin problemas, las cartas están muy lindas y son resistentes!

The art is great and the cards are a good sturdy quality. I got a misprinted deck with two sets of the major arcana, full pentacles and swords, the ace and 2 of wands, and the king and queen of cups. Your mileage may vary. Stunning art though.

Fantastically printed and great art works

Beautiful cards. Thick and well made. Lovely art work. The book is very informative.

I love these cards, they are so beautiful! The guidebook is informative and I feel like they are always spot on when I do a spread for myself with them.
