Editor's Notes
April 29, 2020:
Outside the realm of superstition, items such as tarot decks and Ouija boards pose no immediate physical threat to users. Just like astrology, it’s better to think of any form of fortune telling as a fun way to pass the time introspectively, and not as a reliable or realistic way to forecast the future. We in no way suggest you use tarot card readings to guide your decision making in the real world.
While there are many wonderful tarot decks out there, we sadly can’t include them all here. Other than The Rider-Waite, Kawaii Magic, and Miss Cleo Power, most of the options listed have boxes that are as much a part of the set as a good cover is on a hardbound book. Think of the other three as being included because they’re still wonderfully illustrated and printed despite the shortcomings of their containers. Just imagine how they’d do if they had a more substantial, gilded box like The Keegan Illuminated or Mystic Mondays, both of which would look great on a shelf mixed in with a nice book collection.
