Deviant Moon Tarot: Borderless Edition

Guidebook is quite precise & brief, onn point, beginner friendly. Every card tell the story in its own strange way. The weird sophisticated imagery is a work of art, catches the eye as well as the subconscious letting the reader interpret the message better. This isn't some fairy tale - dreamy - la la land - deck. As the images are intense, bold, unapologetic; it will shake you on some level; for a greater good of course.

This is my first tarot deck. Got one for shadow work. I could never vibe with a deck with bright or cheery artwork. After a lot of research, I chose the Deviant Moon tarot and I'm glad I did. It's more like this deck chose me. I have small hands and the cards are easy to shuffle. The hardness of the cardstock makes me think it's going to last for a long time. The finish is close to matte. It feels really good to hold. Most importantly, OUTSTANDING ARTWORK. The small booklet does a decent job in explaining the story behind each piece followed by keywords for upright and reversed card meanings. The overall packaging was satisfactory. Thanks to Altantic Publishers.

The quality of the cards are beyond expectation. Supper amazing. Doing readings for clients seems like a fun specially with this tarot in the dark. Must buy if you wish to experience tarot reading in a while different manner

Love this deck!!!

The 13th card has no name on it..rest the cards are truly amazing and really a treasure of artistic illustrations if you are a person with high imagination and love to read with different tarot decks

Nice desk

It so original, uniquely amazing and out of this world deck. Patrick Valenza is simply a genius. The card stock is just pure quality. The cards are quite long and the little book is also nice and compact. Great deck for shadow work and dream work. Love love love this deck. The entire package is just amazing. 5 stars to this deck.

This deck must be in every tarot enthusiast's collection, 5 stars.

Favolosi!i disegni sono stupendi!

Mi tarot preferido por su calidad del papel e ilustraciones, yo compré también el libro y ambos artículos son hermosos; al interpretar las tiradas resulta ser muy acertado con lo que se le está preguntando. 100% recomendado

This is a great deck. What I like about decks like these (and it’s rare I get this) is that it allows your imagination to just run away. Which, for me, is what reading tarot is all about. Ditch those meanings you read in the booklets and just say what you see going on! This deck makes that more effortless, as the scenes are full of characters who have unique personalities. Each card gives you a sense of what’s going on. These cards are more humorous than scary. But that’s just down to personal preference, I don’t scare easily, in fact the creepier the better for me haha. The card stock is nice but again it’s personsl preference here they are nice and smooth and I like the more narrow taller cards, rather than the fat wider ones. The Deviant moon borderless edition shuffles really nicely. Now the court cards, every readers nemesis! As you can see from my uploaded images, each court card has a personality, which is exactly what you need in a good deck. For example. I always associate the king of pentacles/coins as being rather pompous and greedy, and he certainly comes across this way in the deviant moon deck. The Cup family are imaginative, creative and spiritual beings, so this comes across with their jolly loving expressions and weird scenes. With the court cards I either associate them as the situation, client or people in their life. But that’s how you should read EVERY card. No card had one meaning. Just say the first thing that comes into your head. That’s the way your intuition works. And I’m sure this deck will help you out there. If you turn the queen of swords and your first impressions are “wow this lady looks problematic and a like she’s always geared up for an argument/fight” then say this. Chances are your client will instantly indentify this with someone they know. That’s all I do. Happy reading with this brilliantly designed tarot deck. It’s fun, mysterious, scary for some but in an intriguing way. It just makes you want to see more.

I sat on this deck for a couple months before committing the time to giving it a proper test drive. I had looked through each card the moment it arrived back in May, but I hadn't actually used it until this week. First of all, the artwork is stunning and it resonates on a very visceral level with me. Art, aesthetics, and symbolism are subjective, so your mileage may vary on this point. For me, the images are intuitive and speak to something deep inside me. I absolutely love the artwork. I have a lot of decks and have been reading tarot for over forty years now, and I have plenty of decks that just don't work for me. I do a reading or pull a card and the results are just random and kind of meh. THIS deck, though, is uncanny. And again, that may be the symbolism and the imagery speaking so loudly, but I find myself constantly drawing cards to see what comes up. As a personal deck, Deviant Moon is in the top two decks that I prefer for my own use (the other being the Medieval Scapini, which has been my go-to for almost thirty years). The booklet's interpretation of the cards is wonderfully nuanced, as well. The printing of the images is flawless. So, it's beautiful, intuitive, amazing in its personal connection (to me, again ymmv). Now for the downside: The box is utter crap, which is kind of surprising for US Games. The cardstock used to make it is exceptionally thin and the top flap ripped the first time I opened it. The box is a bit large for the cards, so the box will crush in places, which means it won't stay closed and I have picked up the box only to have the cards drop out of the bottom more than once. Do yourself a favor and replace the stock box with a bag or custom box ASAP. The cards themselves are on very thin stock, which isn't a terrible thing, as it makes for easier shuffling, but I will be curious to see if this affects the overall longevity of the deck (especially since it looks like it will be getting a lot of use). Also, the cards are a little long and if you have little hands like me, you may find them hard to handle. I have similar problems with the Scapini deck, but I think of it as a good way to stretch and exercise my fingers. Honestly, the quality of the card stock and the size of the cards are things that are easy to get used to. The box is garbage. And these are honestly the only bad things I can think of about this deck. If the imagery in the posted images appeals to you, then you will love this deck. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Es una baraja preciosa, siento si, que preferiría pagar un poco mas y tener una caja de mayor calidad Pero ya es la 2da vez que me lo pido esta baraja, es mi mazo favorito con cartas intuitivas. recomiendo la borderless edition por encima de todas
