Deviant Moon Tarot




I received this delightful tarot deck from my beautiful sister Justin. The artwork by Patrick Valenza is amazing with a dark and morbid flair to it. The pentacle suit has a steampunkish style to it that I love. I have had some amazingly accurate readings with this deck and along with The Tarot of Vampyres deck it is now one of my favorites.




 This is an image of the Major Arcana. The backs of my cards are different from the ones shown here and are completely reversible. This deck is so much fun and full of imagination. The images used are easy to read and I often just use my intuition instead of reading the meanings in the little white book that is provided. I tend to do that a lot with all of my cards, whether oracle or tarot.

Here is the description from the back of the box~

Illuminated with the haunting glow of moonlight, Deviant Moon Tarot dares to explore the darker places of our inner psyche and the outer limits of our imagination. Set against surreal backdrops of abandoned buildings and graveyards, the traditional tarot characters are given a stylized new twist. Deviant Moon Tarot delivers the profound messages of tarot with the evocative symbolism and compelling imagery.


You can find out more about the deck and the artist here.

Thank you to both of my beautiful sisters for the wonderful gifts given to me this Christmas.

  8. One of my friends has this Tarot deck! It's really unique and mysterious. I use my Tarot deck a lot too. It's a great way to work through your questions and problems. At the very least it helps to bring subconscious ideas to the surface.

  14. Hi Stacy(MLC)

    This is one amazing deck and it is the only one i have been given. The rest i have bought for myself and they work just fine for me. Of course I have bought some that just didn't click. If it makes you feel better, pick out a few that you might like and have your mom choose one and give it as a gift.

    MAny Blessings and Love my dear friend, V.

  15. Hi Reina

    Tarot decks are great fun and can give you many insightful things to ponder. I use them daily and am very happy with the decks i own. Like i told STacy, if you feel they should be given, find someone and throw several hints around that you would like a deck.

    Blessings, V.

  16. Hi Dr. Theda

    If you look around online you should be able to print out the meanings. They are the same for most decks. I think you would have a great time with them.

    Wishing you the best new year.

    Your friend, Lady Moss

  17. Hi Justine

    That is what i love about this deck, the mystery surrounding it. I use my decks daily and will read with the one or ones that "call" to me that day. I might want to use one deck but another will say "No, me!". LOL

    Blessings, V.
