The Macabre Tarot Rockpool Publishing

Step into the darkness and release your fears.

Don’t let the clever packaging, engaging Artwork and stunning gold gilded cards fool you into thinking The Macabre Tarot is a just a light-hearted Rider-Waite-Smith monster mash-up.  The artwork is beguiling in the best way.  The cards are designed to draw you deep into your own  psyche and bring you face to face with the darker parts of yourself that you might rather keep hidden away.  This is where powerful shadow-work can take place,  allowing you to explore all aspects of yourself and emerge more complete on the other side.  It is only through exploring your darkest sides that you can find you way into the light.

Be warned: this deck is not for the light-hearted or weak spirited.

The Page: Terror

The Knight: Nightmare

The Queen: Haunting

The King: Massacre
