Tarot of the Haunted House Cards – September 8, 2018

This deck doesn’t get the attention it deserves and is very underrated. It has beautiful artwork with a dark gothic vibe and is perfect for shadow work, it quickly became my favorite deck to work with during the dark winter months. Some aren’t happy with the card stock but I don’t have any issues with it, it shuffles beautifully.

OMG, one of my favorite, favorite tarot deck cards ever. The Artwork is magnificent and wonderfully crafted and when you read your deck it speaks to you in Whispers and in deep resonating tones that you will not forget. Came with a simple instructional book to give you more insight of the drawings and how the cards will relate to your reading!!! These cards are not for the weak, very deep readings will require these cards and I absolutely love them!!!

I don’t have a huge collection but I’ve been on tarot kick lately. I have some expensive indy decks, some cheap but gorgeous mass market decks, new stuff, old stuff. I’ve been vaguely into tarot decks largely for the art since I was a kid, getting dragged around to the sort of book stores that sell them. This pretty much immediately became my favorite deck ever. I don’t understand the hate Lo Scarabeo seems to get around here for its card stock, it’s not on the thicker end of my cards by any means but it’s certainly not flimsy and it’s very nice to shuffle, especially for smaller hands. And if you grew up in say, the 80s/90s, hypothetically a night owl pretty much always, with parents who worked super early mornings, leaving you to sneak around to watch wildly age-inappropriate schlocky horror movies from the 70s on late night cable, the art in this deck might just speak to you the same way it does to me. That’s the vibe I get from this deck (and the weird nostalgia it ticks for me, lol) spooky, old school, so much of another time that’s it’s almost disorienting. Foreign, fairytale-esque. I freaking love it!The cards are borderless, it’s a fully illustrated deck, the art is haunting, no pun intended, it absolutely speaks to my memories of old-even-then horror movies from the 70s, or the covers of some of my mom’s older mystery/romances. I just can’t review this without mentioning though, my only issue is that true to those aesthetics there’s zero diversity in the deck, which is usually a deal breaker for me. In this case, the cards tell a specific story (it’s in the lwb) of the specific character (the fool) that other reviews mention, traveling through the titular haunted house, so many of the cards feature her, which at least justifies the (in this case, intentionally and literally) exact same white, skinny-but-busty-and-hippy, traditionally magazine-beautiful woman being on almost every card in the deck. Still, it would have been nice to see, in the ‘people’ she encounters, some other ethnicities and body types, just, you know, for variety at least?

I got this deck a couple of months ago after reading the reviews, watching videos and let me just say this deck has some of the most unique, captivating and beautiful imagery that I personally resonate with! It still follows the RWS style in its own twist, and I love decks that have deeper meanings that can be brought into light. The whole deck is not all "doom and gloom" or "Cheesy" by any means, there has a brightness to it as well, very diverse which I appreciate. The cardstock is not too thick or flimsy, has a matte finish without borders (plus in my book!) and shuffles like a dream. I do collect decks for different types of readings, and this one has clung to me as my main for now. The energy it gives off is what I look for; what's hidden in plain sight. As darkness is a lack of information, it being put into light for information to be received. Each time I pick this deck up I get new information during meditations and readings and it's a constant expansion. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when in constant motion, possibilities are limitless and this deck to me proves that. So much so, that in the near future I'll be buying another deck or 2 just in case something happens to this over time. =)

I think the images are truly beautiful. They have very much of a Heathcliff vibe. Brooding, mysterious and dark. The size of the cards is fine but the card stock is very flimsy and you don't get anything out of that guidebook. Hence, the deck is somewhat overpriced. I have other deck that were about the same price and they were much better quality and had a much better guidebook.

The media could not be loaded. I just unboxed and I’m going to read the book. I wouldn’t say it’s as Intuitive for me like the Thoth tarot…but I like a challenge.I saw some complaints about the card stock but I appreciate the matte finish.This one definitely stimulates my mind and my heart!.. in a different way than all the others.So far so fun!Great aesthetics!

I have been hesitant on purchasing this deck for over a year now, so I was searching for Halloween inspired decks, beings the holiday is coming up, and up popped “Tarot Of The Haunted House” deck, so I decided to read the reviews, they were all so positive that I decided to give it a try, since haunted houses, and all things spooky are my middle name 😉. I received the deck the following day, thank you Amazon, lit my candle, for incense and proceeded to go through the deck, first of all, I’m with a lot of who wished it came with a full size companion book, the deck deserves it, but the LWB does do a good job on the story line. The deck itself is so amazing, the artwork, no border, the satin feel of them which makes shuffling so effortless, but the storyline was so intriguing I played with them for a good couple hours just enjoying my new favorite deck, so glad I read the reviews, they are so worth it. 🥰
