When I learn of a new Tarot Deck with the words: antique, ventage, retro, guilded . . . my curiosity is peeked. Tarot is an ancient art — going back to the Egyptians . . . I’m also interested in the witch decks . . . Those caught my attention when I started this website and my personal Tarot Deck collection. I also wanted something different and unique — perhaps relatable or just whimsical. My Tarot Journey was a personal one of learning something new.
I will now get on topic and introduce the video to walk us through The Antique Anatomy Tarot Kit published September 10, 2019 by Abrams Noterie. I like to see what I’m getting before I place an order . . . I’m sure you feel the same.
This deck does address anatomy — bones, muscle, etc. All the stuff of us. I think the cards are very well done. The guidebook is good as well. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this deck from the publisher’s perspective.
“Natural history meets spirituality in The Antique Anatomy Tarot, a deluxe boxed set of cards and guidebook by Claire Goodchild, owner of the design studio Black and the Moon. The foil-stamped keepsake box contains a 78-card tarot deck and an accompanying guidebook. The cards, which feature illustrations of vintage anatomical drawings collaged with plants and flowers, represent a fresh and creative interpretation of the tarot archetypes.”
I love a matt finish as opposed to a glossy one — just a personal preference. The box is nice. I’m paying more attention to the boxing lately for some reason — not that an unattractive box would prevent me from purchasing a deck I want . . . or great packaging would urge me to purchase a deck I have no interest in purchasing . . . The cardstock is nice. I don’t ruffle shuffle my Tarot decks . . . Just not my thing . . . But everyone does their own thing . . .
This is truly a nice Tarot Deck. I’m not into the medical field at all . . . but I believe for those who are, this is an excellent deck for them. Or for medical intuitives . . . And those who are comfortable with anatomy. It’s just not my thing . . . but the cards are lovely.
