Tanga I'm not at home, so I don't have the deck to hand. But it's the Halloween Oracle by Stacey DeMarco, published by Llewellyn Worldwide. I'll try to post some photos later in the day, perhaps.

Yesterday, my tarot parcel from BookDelivery arrived, nearly exactly a month after I ordered it. That's a normal time for my little corner of the world. The new Llewellyn Tarot Calendar looks very interesting - new spreads, and I really like the format. I have been using these calendars since 2018, and I keep the old ones. There is simply so much information in there, and also new decks to discover. I have wanted the Woodland Wardens Tarot since it came out. I own the Woodland Wardens Oracle already, and also the Good Fortune Tarot (after I saw a picture in the Llewellyn calendar). I love Jessica Roux's artwork, it's precise and dreamlike at the same time. The book seems to be very good as well. The Mindscapes Tarot looks beautiful. Oil pastel is a very unusual material to use for tarot - I have lots of ink, watercolour, collage, computer generated and oil colour decks, oh, and also coloured pencils (all my Atanassov decks). The majors are impressive and it will be interesting to compare them to other landscape-oriented ;-) decks I own (Majestic Earth, Flow, Landscape Tarot), and the minors are completely original. They don't echo much of the RWS core meanings (although they do help interpreting the cards) but they show the changes of a landscape over time. I can't wait to dive into these new decks. It's always such a pleasure to open a parcel.

Not in the mail, but this past weekend was in a whacky store full of weird used stuff (example: waxed cylinders used for recordings 120 years ago). While there, I chanced upon the smallish Universal Monsters Tarot Deck. The LWB is missing, but all the cards are there, and for $5 what the hell. Being a fan of the old Universal monster movies since childhood, I'm having too much fun with these cards! Rather hilariously, the box is designed inside to depict a coffin. Even more peculiar, the suits are candles (which I presume to be wands due to shape and alignment with fire), crypts (presumably cups because they contain things), claws (swords I suppose, since used to tear bodies open), and castles (pentacles I guess). The Fool card is the newly "born" Frankenstein, which almost seems more appropriate than any other deck. The Empresss is Frankenstein's Bride which is wonderful. On the down side the backs are kind of a weird design that doesn't do much, but at least they're reversible. So much more. Will I actually use it as a genuine Tarot deck? Hmmm... At first blush I'd say no, but dang, they did such a good job with it I just might give it a fighting chance.
