## Description

The Macabre Tarot is a tarot set. A standard tarot deck has 78 cards: 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana in four suits.

From the maker: This striking coffin shaped tarot deck invites you to step into the shadows and explore the darker side of tarot and the self. Following the traditional tarot structure, the 78 cards reimagine the Major and Minor Arcana through macabre imagery and shadow focused themes, encouraging deep introspection and fearless self exploration.

Size: approximately 22.5 x 14.5 x 5.5cm, weighing about 555g. Allow for small variations between batches.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

Today many readers use tarot for reflection: the imagery acts as a prompt to think through a question rather than a prediction. Tarot began as a 15th-century Italian card game; it was adopted for divination in 18th-century France and shaped by the Golden Dawn in Victorian London. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim.

## How to use

- Shuffle while holding a question in mind.
- Start with a one-card daily draw or a three-card past–present–future spread.
- Journal what each card brings to mind; meaning grows with practice.
- Care idea: shuffle on a cloth to protect card edges.
- Spread idea: a three-card spread (situation, challenge, advice) is a gentle place to start.
- Journalling idea: keep a reading journal and revisit it at the next new moon.

## Care

- Keep cards in their box or a cloth wrap away from damp.
