The Zombie Tarot

la-luna

Mine arrived Monday, I love the theme and how it has been worked out throughout the whole deck. It is consistent in style and feeling - very vintage, very tongue-in-cheek (the same kind of humour that made the housewives such a success)

mine is winging its way from the BD :)

My Tarot Playbook should also be here any day (has been 2 weeks in transit) and I am seriously looking forward to having some fun with the two together. May even offer some zombiefied readings on the exchange.

This is a deck I am yet to read anything negative about. It really seems to have captured hearts (not literally,but hey being zombies you never know) and minds across the board. And I cannot wait to dive in :)

It's here!!
Time for my impressions!!

I've been waiting for this deck since late November. Time has flown by except for the last two weeks when I realized how close I was to actually having this deck.

Firstly, I love the box. Its pretty large (And also really sturdy which is great!) but like the review said it's about the size of a box of shotgun shells. Very retro with "Mystical Prediction Oracle" on the bottom. I love how much thought the people who did this and the Housewives tarot put into their decks. Even the boxes are stellar.

Flipping through the LWB I think it's pretty well done. Pages are 'faded' and aged looking and even the card meanings are tied into the zombie theme which is great. They include a black and white image of the card's main characters (With a solid colored background) and then its meaning.

Cardstock is nice and thick. I think its thicker than the Housewives but I'm not 100% sure. Cards are just as wide but longer than the Housewives, too.

The spreads are pretty nice. It includes the typical PPF, but the rest are zombie themed with very practical every-day uses. I'd say they tend to lean towards more 'general' readings rather than anything specific, minus one which is love themed.

Honestly, I'm in love. The cards are RWS based which makes for a very easy read. They're both insightful and amusing. This deck will replace the deck I've been keeping in my purse as I feel this is going to be one that I work a lot with.

Would I be caught reading with it in public? Sure! Most who know me know I love survival horror/zombie themed things. And I'm more than proud to have this well thought out and wonderful working deck in my posession.
