| Tarot of the Hidden Realmplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigTarot of the Hidden Realm Deck Notes I added this deck to my collection in 2023 after going through a digital copy of the cards. The illustrations are capitvating and beautiful, each featuring an emotive portrait of a magical person. It's not a particularly intuitive deck for me, but I love the artwork and enjoy reading with it. This is a good deck for spreads focused on feelings - both of the querent and others around them. | Julia Jeffrey | Barbara Moore | Llewellyn | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 | https://amzn.to/42kbUYA |
| Shadowscapes Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigShadowscapes Tarot Deck Notes I absolutely adore the artwork in this deck. It's ethereal and soft and magical.

The Mystic Faerie Tarot isn't very nouveau at all. Its styling is more like illustrations in a book of fairy tales. The imagery is pretty easy to decode without the book or even an existing background in the RWS card meanings. Each of the four suits is a story, and the book that's included with Llewellyn's more expensive offering is complete with the story narrative, as well as the … | Linda Ravenscroft | Barbara Moore | Llewellyn | 3 | 3 | 5 | 3 | https://amzn.to/32maGki |
| Book of Shadows Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigBook of Shadows Tarot Deck Notes This is a two-deck kit. The As Above deck is meant to focus on the spiritual and esoteric, while the So Below deck is themed to the daily mundane and our practical reality. It's a good concept, but the execution on this deck really misses the mark. There are too many artists involved, which negatively impacts the artistic coherency of both decks.
