Tarot Deck Reviews

This is where the real fun begins. I’ve reviewed dozens of Tarot decks on TarotCake, from glitter-covered indie beauties to massmarket classics and deliciously weird outliers. I’m fussy about card stock, unusually interested in symbolism, and prone to getting over-excited about good production choices. If you’re here to swoon over aesthetics, unpack archetypes, or just figure out which deck speaks to you, you’re in the right place.

How I Choose What To Review

I’m not sponsored (unless clearly stated), and all the decks I’ve reviewed so far have been purchased with my own hard-earned cash (I’ll tag clearly if I ever get sent a review copy). The decks here caught my eye for their:

• Artistic merit
• Thoughtful structure
• Striking or novel symbolism
• Representation & diversity
• Weird, witchy, or wonderful vibes
