Dark Fairytale Tarot Deck Review and Interview

The Dark Fairytale Tarot is a Lo Scarabeo deck illustrated by Raffaele De Angelis. It is inspired by both the Waite Smith Tarot and the Thoth Tarot, with Justice as Major Arcana number 8 and Strength as 11.
If you are looking for a dark/gothic themed deck with fully illustrated pips (unlike the Anne Stokes Gothic Tarot), this may be the deck you’ve been looking for.

 However, the card stock is quite thin so if this bothers you, you’re better off looking elsewhere. Personally, I like the silky, matte finish. I don’t scuff this quality card stock when I shuffle.
Here are some of the individual cards:
The High Priestess

 

Knight of Cups

 

Queen of Wands

 

The Magician
Lovely card backs:
