Tarot Deck and Guidebook

Product Information

In 2008, the book The Slayer's Tarot was announced as the first licensed Buffy tarot deck, but it was subsequently canceled. GUIDEBOOK INCLUDED: This unique deck includes a guidebook to help tarot practitioners of all skill levels do fun and informed readings. I do have a slight issue that won't matter unless you're a die hard Buffy fan; I'm putting it down at the bottom of the review so you can avoid it if you want.

I would love to match as many cards as possible to their episodes, as most of them - certainly most of the Minors and several Majors - are lifted straight from specific episodes and scenes. ORIGINAL ART: Each of the 78 cards in this deck and the booklet features never-before-seen original Buffy the Vampire Slayer-themed art. A deluxe version titled Mega-Sized Tarot Deck and Guidebook was announced for July 9, 2024, with larger, sturdier cards, a velvet pouch, and a laser-engraved wooden stand for the cards. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.I don't know if perhaps Casey and Karl were working off different drafts, if it was an attempt to give us more than one 'hook' into the card, or if I'm just overthinking - probably that last one! Tarot is a pack of playing cards, used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play games.

II of Scythes is the other card I couldn't identify - the book says it's Riley, but given I knew him immediately in his other appearance, I'm not sure. Tarot Deck and Guidebook is a book and set of tarot cards written by Casey Gilly and illustrated by Karl James Mountford. In the Minors we're down to one page per card, with a small image of the card and upright and reversed meanings. I think that Buffy as an idea, as a character, is a fantastic model for young people and especially young girls, and that's the way I'm approaching this deck. Featuring both major and minor arcana, the set also includes a helpful guidebook explaining each card’s meaning and simple instructions for easy readings.

The cards were, respectively: Spiritus (spirit) for Willow, Animus (heart) for Xander, Sophus (mind) for Giles, and Manus (hand) for Buffy. Karl now resides and works in the oldest town in Wales with his dog, three chickens, and any other wildlife that turns up. In 1997, Drusilla, combining with her abilities as a seer, used a Tarot set to inform Spike that the du Lac Cross was needed to translate the du Lac Manuscript, pointing to a card illustrated with where the cross was hidden.

Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. The trouble is that if a Buffy fan who knows nothing about Tarot picks these up, the differences may confuse them and lead to them abandoning the deck; vice versa, a tarot reader who knows nothing about Buffy can't link those pictures to that description in several of those cards.

In every generation, there is a chosen one — explore your destiny like Buffy the Vampire Slayer with this magical and bold take on the traditional 78-card tarot deck.
