The Muse Tarot - A 78-Card Deck and Guidebook (Cards)

Reviews

"What a visually unique stunning creation" by AshB - 5 September 2020

The Muse Tarot is one of those decks you needed to purchase first in its Indie stage. Unfortunately, being in South Africa and buying oracle or tarot decks overseas from people self-publishing...financially...it really dents the pockets. If I were to order this deck from the author herself, including shipping costs and tax, it would've cost me R2500 to get my hands on this beauty. Honestly, yes, it's crazy expensive and for many not affordable, but I just don't support the system when it comes to forking out huge amounts for shipping and tax alone. So, I had to wait for the mass production as all the rest. And we definitely miss out...but hey...it is what it is. What I did invest in however, closing my eyes, biting my tongue as I pressed the purchase button...was the Indie version of the guidebook for this deck. Including all costs, it was the most expensive book I probably will ever own...R750. But I don't regret it one bit. This deck is utterly poetic to a level of unique perfection. I'm not that into Tarot...still learning, but I do know my oracle decks - 20 years and going strong. The author does her own artwork and it's visually stunning. One of a kind. The same with her Light Seers Tarot as well. Publisher...Hay House. Card stock...not that great quality. Matte finish which is perfect. Includes a mini guidebook...I'm so happy I bought the Indie version guidebook as well. The guidebook that comes with the deck is really small. I assume since tarot decks and cards are usually smaller, the guidebooks are also smaller...? I don't know enough about Tarot to confirm this. Lots of people dive into DIY card edging...where they edge the card sides themselves...it has become quite a 'thing'. Make sure you use the correct art pens for this project. The deck itself is really accurate. It has strong messages. Easy to understand even for beginners like me. A deck you need to experience yourself. A beauty to have on your deck, even if you only are a collector.
