Royo Dark Tarot: 78 full colour cards and instructions

The deck arrived quite fast, in good condition, the cards are sturdy.The drawings are beautiful but quite dark, the whole deck has a dark vibe to it.It's good for tarot collectors , I don't regret buying it, I did a spread that was quite revealing and accurate.The brightest card is the judgement card.The booklet is very nice, I like the way it is written.Important: there are 2 cards that are quite sexual, the 2 of cups and the king of pentacles, they actually are having sex.This Tarot could be a good complement to the Tarot of Sexual magic also.Overall: Beautiful images, dark theme but pretty, pretty drawings, good card stock, fantasy vibe to the cards, a bit sexual but ok, good booklet.I recommend this deck for anyone who likes fantasy kind of worlds, mysteries and secretive answers.EDIT: I forgot to mention that this deck is not for beginners as it does not stick to traditional tarot meaning.This deck would be more for someone who loves beautiful images and mysterious things, it does bring clarity and help for a reading but is not for Tarot beginners.In any case: a must-have!

my favourite deck, gorgeous art on all of the cards and helpful insights in the leaflet. Had some really deep readings from these cards and I use them most days. Would love to se another deck from Royo

Nice set, terrific Royo artwork, and some info about how to read them...

This is one of those decks which has been made up out of an artist's existing oeuvre. Royo's work is particularly unsuitable for this purpose. Imagine trying to choose the Queen of Swords when you have a dozen half-naked women wielding swords to choose from. And then you have to find a berth for the other 11.Whoever the poor Bob Cratchit was who was given the job he went in for a lot of windy declamation leavened with a bit of barely detectable Rider-Waite.5 of Chalices - Fingers that do not feel sensations. The fire has gone out but the raven has not forgotten beauty.This is a woman in an almost shredded strapless dress reclining on one elbow in front of a huge raven with a long tail. She wears a glove with three steel claws.XI Strength - The strong sexual force. The kingdom of the physical. The ghost which feeds on desire.This is the usual half-naked woman dominating some kind of hairy man-thing, pulling his head back by his hair and about to drive a very complicated pointy thing into his throat.XII The Hanged Man - This is the altar of sacrifice which lies between the past and the future. The balance which exists between necessity and freedom. The scream of repentance.This is a woman, naked except for a belt and holding up behind her shoulders a muslin veil, straddling a very decayed zombie in the sexual position called cowgirl. She is seen from the front and the zombie's head is thrown back revealing that it is almost a skull.We also note that among other things, the Hermit is "where the nymphs of sensitivity live." No wonder I couldn't find them in the phone book.No, you buy this deck for the pictures (I know I did) and you won't be disappointed. Four stars for those and no stars for the Little White Book.If you really want to use it as a tarot deck I suggest you map Rider-Waite onto it by spending many happy hours scrutinising the cards for some detail, however trivial, which you can use as a mnemonic for the meaning in each case.

Luis Royo art on cards. Quality is excellent. I'm a big fan of Luis Royo work and these cards give me a mini library. I don't do tarot so I can't comment on the tarot cards use.

Not for the beginner as the image's don't give you the much information on the card nevertheless they are beautiful

They are amazing, they are very accurate and small enough for me to use. They arrived on time and the instructions are clear. I like these cards so much.
